Thread: Tie's have no hyperdrive
So this is to everyone on the forums except Metroid, because he can't read anyways.

Here is a good post about the different TIE's. Check out the part about the Reconnaisance TIE (Vanguard) that was one of the initial 2 TIE's created off the originaldesign. Notice that they had no extra room to add sensors and such, so they had to remove a set of lasers. So if the DEV's want to add anything to the standard TIE's they would have to remove lasers from it to accomodate the new equipment. Why the Empire didn't just slap the extra sensors and stuff to the TIE Vanguard, and hell HD's and sheilds is beyond me. They could have just let some one who owns TIE's personally ugrade them for the Empire.

Ok when I get home from work (about 3 hours) I'll scan and post it
The X-Wing cut-out was taken from the old Star Wars RPG source book (first edition). While I dont have the exact phrasing on me the material is stated as coming directly from the SW archives.
This book has a '10 year anniversary' emblem on it, giving you an idea of its age
The TIE cutout (and the one I will post later) is taken from the Imperial source book, again from the first edition of the West End games Star Wars RPG.
The 'TIE scout' picture I posted in my other thread (http://freespace.virgin.net/ash.ridley/tiescout.jpg) is taken from the second edition West End games Star Wars RPG rulebook.

And, as already has been proven, West End games has allot of inaccuracies. I remember the source books of which you speak, however I never had any of them that contained cut outs. Do you have any information about the size of components from .. oh I don't know.. a REPUTABLE source? One that hasn't been dropped by the damn companies who MAKE Starwars? k thx.

Well of course you are trying to discredit the 'evidence' because it confidently backs up the opposing position.
_If_ you can find an earlier authorised source than the one I am using, which contradicts the information I have provided I will conceed your point.
Unless you are able to do this I see no reason not the accept this particular source as authentic and accurate and any subsequent sources that contradict this one to be the ones in error, simply because West End games information may, in some other cases, have been found to be incorrect or contradicting (even by its other publications) - but I'll again refer you to the fact that any inaccuracies in licenced material must ultimately be the fault of Lucus licencing.

Alright. I'll provide a newer source. How's Jump to Lightspeed sound?
Oh wait, that's right... SoE is authorized by Lucasarts.. and JTL has TIE fighters with hyperdrive.
Gosh... what were you saying?
