Yeah so? what are you saving it for? to will to your grandchildren? Loot reactors like that are a dime a dozen, i have 10 of them if one wears out ill toss it and use another.
If nearly doubling my ships performance means my reactors got to take a beating well, too bad for my reactor its days are numbered.

Still, a higher mass chasis is a better and permanent solution. I heard the devs are currently working onit and theupgraded chassis are in testing.BTW, rebel pilots can pull the same overload trick, so an A-wing is gonna be still better than a Intercepter.

It won't be that much more manouverable. If you take the tie advanced you are 100% on par with the a wing in every last ounce of mass, and the tie agressor is an awesome bomber. Furthermore manouverability doesn't mean a thing if you dont know how to manouver, which most people don't, they just fly in circles chasing the little green rabbit.

The mass changes on test do not affect any of the low level ties. They add more mass for the Opressor, the master ship. That is all.
I ran across a guy in an x-wing today. I was in my tie advanced. We had a bit of a friendly duel as he wasn't overt. You know what that guy could manouver better than any of the a-wings i came across, because he was just damn good at what he was doing.
He almost outmanouvered my advanced, in fact he did before i put the boost on. He was simply a better pilot than me. After talking to him he plays aces high alot and is a real sim player so i can see why he was so good.

The TIE bomber is weighed down by senors for bombing stuff. Eachmissiles mass, upgraded armor, and air supply for pilot
Does the tie bomber have a pressurised cockpit? As far as i knew all ties had no pilot life support, and that was why the pilots had the helmets with the little hoses and box on their chest.
Of course thats pretty silly if you think about it, that lightweight tie pilot suit being able to protect the pilot from the environment of space without a life support cockpit.

If I remember right the Pilots have a smaller air system in the cockpit (like behind the crash seat of something)then a Alliance pilot.

As far as the lightweight suit protecting you from space, it could be possible. If the suit was airtight, insulated and very tough you could have a lightweight suit compared to what our astronauts(sp?) use today. Think about it, we live in gravity, therefore our bodies need to keep a certain pressure to avoid us being crushed. Now you suddenly go into vaccuum with no gravity and you body is still trying to keep a gravitatonal pressure and therefore you would explode under no gravity or atmospheric pressure. The suit would only need to keep the wearer from freezing, suffocating and exploding. Not too much else needed there. Could maybe survive 4 hours, best guess, with the TIE suits in empty space.

You missunderstandStar Wars tech (i just read this in a X-wing series not to long ago) when the pilot is ejected a magcon field is projected around the pilots ejection seat which keeps oxygen in the field. But they still have to be rescued quickly because the magcon field does not keep out the coldness of space. And in the Star Wars Universe (not the SWG Universe) a TIE pilot dies with his ship because the TIE fighter does not have a ejection seat.the "seat" of a TIE is more like a small couch.

You forget about the Awing, the y is nice, but it flys like a brick....I love my A, can't put a lot in it, but it is enough.
