TIE Agressor was the end result of the TIE Advanced prototype?
sounds pretty much like the thing someone was talking about on another thread

Hmm you know I don't know from what I could see of the concept art it looks different, very different. There appears to be dorsal mounted lasers for either a turret style or some strange peek-a-boo 6 o'clock shot to keep bogies off your six. Either way we have the TIE/A anyway so why have two names taking up two of the 15 preliminary ships for no reason?
No something else is afoot here, what it is I don't know, but what I do know is this ship is something else.

There were alot of designs that came out of the TIE advanced project, including the TIE defender eventualy. This was one of tons of prototypes that starfighter designers were playing with. I just want one of my own

The other thread was probaly talking about the TIE "Avenger" which was the final evolution of the TIE Advanced (also the precursor to the TIE interceptor) It looked alot like the Interceptor (dagger wings) but also had shields and a hyper drive. The Tie Aggresor is an entierly new design (atleast i have never seen or heard of it before)

clarification-
the tie advanced prototype that was flown by vader was a precursor to the interceptor- however the the avenger was put into full production after the interceptor. (according to the PC game Tie-Fighter)

Never heard of the Agressor until JTL. Not really interested in it, unless it's got something to distinguish it from the Advanced.
Then again, all I want is either a Missile Boat or the Defender.

Well I finally got my first tier 4 box yesterday, and I thought 'ooo a tie agressor-its going to have to be better then my Tie Bomber.' So off I go to my friendly Master Ship Wright and buy me a Tie Advanced and a Tie Agressor-seeing The agressor can have 2 guns equipped I think 'great-my hard hitting armor and shield alternate weapon combo will still work'...only to find that the second weapon appears that it can only be fired if someone else wants to be the gunner(and who is going to want and sit and do that for a few hours?) I've tried to group the weapons, and unfortunately I'm still only firing the one myself.
Sure the agressor is much more manvourable than the bomber, but heck just slow a Tie bomber down and you'll find it to be very to manovereable to. So really for solo destruction the Tie Bomber seems to be a much better ship to use. Thoughts on this?

Aggressors are better, more manuverable than bombers, and faster.

I have no short supply of people begging to get into my gunner slot when they hear I am going up into space. This is because they are usually low ranked pilots in my guild who would die for half the xp I make.
You just have to make it clear that a gunner gets 1/2 the xp from any kills made by the ship.
The other thing is when you have a gunner, you have to keep them in consideration with tactics. Sure, you could dogfight and leave anything on your tail to the gunner. But there is two great tactics for gunner use I find to keep them busy. One, is when doing duty missions, let the last 2 or so ships chase you on your tail, fast kills with a gunner. The other is to engage the enemy in a turning war, but rather then trying to get your weapons to bear on the enemy, keep the other ship in your gunner's FOV. The gunner can aim his weapons over a larger area than you can manage. If you keep a gunner busy he is more likely to return.

Agressor has a turret, it isn't like the y wing longprobe where it is essentially a second gun. I believe agressor is listed under 2 passenger ships on the jtl page with all the pics and descriptions of ships.

The Aggressor handles way better than the TIE Bomber at 75-80% throttle. However, it's true it lacks fire power even with a rear gunner, cause its 120K mass is just too low for a bomber.
