If that made sense.

I don't believe TIE defenders were around during this time. On second though...does that really matter?

Yeah the whole timeline-continuity thing isn't as important as getting to fly all the cool ships. You better believe B-Wings will be in there, even though they don't show up until ROTJ.

There's so many different Rebel ships, they need to hook up Imps with some of these EU/Video game ones or else we'll just be stuck with TIE basics and TIE interceptors

I think I am the only person who thought the Tie Defender was lame. Very powerful but kinda silly. Ties were not supposed to be the big powerful, armored, shielded ships. That was one of the advantages the rebellion had, great pilots and ships that could take a beating. I alway thought the Defender was ... well silly.


I admit that in SWG, the advantage of the Tie, cheap and easy to make by the thousands, would be difficult to recreate. I suppose anyone in a Tie automatically got 4 wingmen with decent AI but that would still not be very workable. So due to the style that online games have, I guess you need a decent shielded Tie.

Yes, TIE's were originally designed to be light in the cost department. But by the time the Defenderswere being designed and fabricated, the empire was in trouble. In fact it really wasn't the Empire any more, it was a bunch of Warlords and the remnents of the Empire fighting the Rebels. They had no good pilots due to attrition and they needed something to compete with X-wing squadrons without having a 10-1 advantage. So they needed to advance the technology and make TIE'sbetter fighters.

The TIE Defender was first started onproduction close to the Battle of Endor. The Empire had started to realise it needed tougher fighters, numbers weren't enough anymore cause more and more people joined the Alliance and the fact they keep getting better and better ships.

In comes the TIE Defender, an upgrade from the already modestly produced TIE Avenger. But it was too little too late. And to add salt to injury one of the Grand Admirals of the Empire had delusions of grandeur and wanted to replace the Emperor with himself. In his quest for galactic domination he hampered most of the production facilities where TIE Defenders were made, and also severely damaged the production capabilities of the factories making TIE Avengers.

Not to SOE, since they are skipping out on Continuity and putting in B-Wing's for Rebels...
