You rebels don't want TIEs to havea hyperdrive right? Well then you must be suicidal, because that means all TIEs will be next to a Star Destroyer. TIEsinthe movies only hang around Star Destroyers and the Death Star. So you wont be able to peck off a few as your traveling through sectors, because we will massive swarm you. So honestly, would you rather break continuity, or get yourselves killed many many many times,because a fleet ofTIEs and their Star Destroyer just happen to be in your path to your destination.

...... and not even be good at it.

Or, of course, they could add a hyper-drive like in the EU, but have highly decreased turn time...
Or, you could just suck it up, bring a huge reb force, and make those imps die, and run home.

eh, as an imp, I'm not going to put shield on my TIE and will avoid the hyperdrive if I can. I know I'm only going to be able to avoid it for so long since I'm not going to feel like catching a shuttle somewhere to deploy myTIE.Hopefully those lambda shuttles will be put in eventually, so we can explain it away a little for any interested in the RP side

You gotta realize everyone your fighting is gonna have shields. So if you dont put them on your going to die very fast. You may be a great pilot but you are going to get hit. Think how much more over powered the X-wings were against the Ties in the movies. A handful of X-wings wipped out squads of Ties in RotJ

I seriously hope that if a TIE has a shield it reallt effects the agility. Otherwise there is no way other ships will be able to hang with it since they are so maneuverable.

that's the thing for me, if I have to give up maneuverability for strength, I won't. I think staying out of someone's line of fire is a better way to avoid getting killed than by having a decent shield. I like the empire. I dig the whole manueverability versus strength thing. Matter of fact in WWII early on, the Japanese zero whupped up on anything anyone else could put in the air, but it didn't have self sealing fuel tanks so a couple of lucky hits and he was a fireball. When other countries started using better tactics and faster/more manueverable planes, then the zero became outclassed. I plan on scootin around in a TIE interceptor, the fastest, most maneuverable ship after the A-wing. It packs a bit of a punch too. Yeah I probably will get whooped up on plenty of times too. There's always someone better.

Planetary squadrons. Doesn't have to be based on the Star Destroyer. And didn't some farmboy blow up the Death Star?

and if you remember right, that farmboy also became a jedi! so dont pull the crap, damn rebels, but anyways, it just makes it fair for all ships to have shields and hyperdrives, not one ship will be the same anyways they are all fully customizable, altho alot of the upgrades and stuff might not show visibly, they will still be there, so stop all this damn crap about crying oh TIES have this and that, well 90% of the people also crying about this crap are rebels, so freakin drop it already you cant change it, you are NOT a developer or work for LucasArts, btw all the changes SOE makes in the games is cleared by LucasArts, so stop your damn whining!!!!

No whining, just making a point.
I like the idea of a TIE not having a hyperdrive or shields. I liked the idea when I flew on in TIE Fighter. Made
me a better pilot; all that ducking and weaving.
But, I recognize that limiting all the imperial players that have the basic TIE model to one sector until they hop a shuttle to go to another one and deploy their fighter is unfair.

Man drop the swarming of ties from your mind in reality of this game knowing humanity everyones out for their self. IM gonna become dissapointed seeing a tie own by its self. I want to fly with a squadron of ties and fight against a squadron of rebels but i already see whats gona happen. I really hope one craft can't destroy a group . I mean you can bend the SW rules a bit but once i see a tie Fighter defeat a group im just gonna sigh , log off , and just play planetside or somethin cuz i really want the feel of SW. By the way i am an imperial so dont think im against ties. I will be flying one my self. I mean i dont know im getting the feel of this after the whole modifying of your ship that u can modify it so well that you can have a super craft. But hey im always wrong on this stuff but it could happen.

ties dont come from factory with shiled or hyperdrives period.....
but now let me qualify this..they dont come that way factory so when you open your schematic it should be a standard tie....buuuuuuuut if you choose to modify it with one spend the cash on a hyperdrive or a shield or both...then thats great cus it is allowed there was restrictions placed tho like maneuverability or speed was slightly deceresased but you take the good wiht the bad.
a wings dont have shields....but hey im probably gonna be able to mod it with one watch...
so i figure let the schematics come as they are supposed to anything other than that is up to how much you wanna spend
course this is based on moding after the ships built...if you mod it before the ship, as in shipwright add parts to schematic same principle but its like armor or guns you can mke it normal but there slots for extra stuff to make it better...i can make a tie say normal no shield or drive but there slots there for if i choose to but they dont need to be added t make one kinda thing.
everyone kinda understand where im going with this O_O?
