The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.
Next time, on a very special New Comic Thread... May 18th

So they had to build them out of dull plastic instead
Steam ID: Good Life
hahahahaha
me wants.
even if I find the concept of a cockpit on the "top" totally silly for a space ship. the tie fighters knew whats what, with a bubble cockpit.

not that I wouldn't fly it around the house going pewpew
TIE pilots don't know shit.
Who in their right goddamn minds go into a ship without shields or life support systems?
Baron Fel and the 181st was the only group of them worth a damn.
and then let's just throw zillions of the fucking things at them
make sure they shoot around the targets, not at them
yeah
that's how you win a war
To be fair, in the X-Wing games TIE Fighters are fucking hard to hit. Losing that stuff also means you lose weight.
But I'd really prefer a TIE Defender, or better yet, the good old Assault Gunboat.
But TIE Advanced pilots were the shit.
Also:
Because I might have played it if I could have owned a badass Naboo cruiser.
lolz
It's the only game I still play on xbox live

Is this where someone's supposed to go "What's a Nubian?"
I believe that Shoe and jwalk have the correct reason. The original ships were made to look like functional vehicles. The prequel ships were just made to use as much fancy-looking CG bullshit as possible. Then "the economy sucks because of the empire" was tacked on as a retcon explanation.
Their plane of visibility is different, but not really "better".
But nothing to the sides, and barely anything to the top and rear.
I'd like to have seen more of the ships from 4-6 in the prequels, looking all shiny and new and top of the line. I mean it would make sense for the rebels to be using older ships, right?
Good thing too, because they couldn't fight for shit.
They were clones of Boba Fett....
Boba Fett got beat by a blind guy with a stick.
this is not the continuity you are looking for. move along. move along.
IT IS A FUCKING SPACE SHIP MOVIE

chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
old people forget stuff
tie pilots aren't stormtroopers
yay
During the time of ANH the Imperial Troops were about 50% Clones and 50% recruits.
They'd have to be otherwise it would of been super suspicious back in ANH when they pretend to be Stormtroopers.
Hey you aren't all the same height......
Satans..... hints.....
"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"
So it stands to reason anyone who flies for the Empire has to go through training of some sort
As I recall the Tie's always fared a lot better
killing rebellion members than Stormtroopers did

Maarek Stele (from the TIE Fighter games) was cool too.
In any case, there are already several Rogue Squadron games. We need some Wraith Squadron (/Dinner Squadron/Silly Squadron) ones.
Sure a couple of them got some lucky hits and whacked a few beat-up Y-wings.
But it took Darth Vader to swoop in and do any real damage. Then one of his supposed "elite" wingmen PANICS at one little explosion, crashes into Vader, and basically fucks the entire Empire from that point on.
Yeah great pilots they were.
they just never show up in the movies
I don't read the novels and comic books, like some comic book-reading nerd.
Or play with the dolls very much anymore.
