Thread: Tie's have no hyperdrive
Message Edited by HelRayzer on 05-18-2004 03:10 PM
Or you could just assume there is something similar to the "Hyperspace Linkup Rings" the Jedi Order had and something similar to Lano's "Shield Ships" providing shields to TIE fighters in the New Jedi Order series. It's not all that large of a stretch, Sure a few years early for the Shield Ships but still.

To all the rebels saying that ties souldn't have hyperdrives. Thats fine but if you want to go the continuity route , when was it possible for rebels to go walking around in a imperial controled cities able to anything they wished.
more times then not, bestine is getting boring lol.
Anyways, why not just have tie carriers stationed in each sector that could launch ties and allow them to enter hyperspace?
Metroid:
Well I have had enough of you being a jack ass to everyone so I will fill in the blanks?
For example: The TIE fighter is not aerodynamic. By any flight standards, this thing couldnt' even stay in the air.
A) Yourassuming the helmets TIE pilots wear aren't self contained life support systems.
B) Your also assuming the TIE's themselves lack life support. Where do you get this information from? Please, feel free to share
I'm not assuming anything. Read the X-wing series books. It is plainly stated that the TIE pilots have no life support.
AND you had the odacity to say a LIFE SUPPORT system would be needed... COME ON
I'll assume that means audacity and say, what if you have a hyperdrive failure in a distant galaxy with out being able to communicate. Oh well you are dead. No time to repair it because you don't have life support.
Realisticly, a starship can be anything.
Well not the TIE's, because they are used in space and in atmosphere. So they have to have good enough flight characteristics in atmospehre which means a brick won't fly really. The best example of a bad aerodynamic airplane design in the F-117 Nighthawk. It's engines are overpowered to make up for this, but hey it is stealth and that is why it is not aerodynamic.
NO! Imperial players MUST do xxxx because the MOVIES say standard TIE doesn't have hyperdrive!" is just plain lack of common sense
Um, no one is forcing this down the devs throat or yours. This was simply an intelligent conversation before you started with the insults. And as I have shown you obviously have no knowledge of what you are saying. So your little insults are nothing.

So I am editing other stupid stuff you have said so bear with me.
I'm tired of this thread, the "No hyperdrive for TIEs!" crowd just ignores any post that debunks them completely and keeps posting reasons why they shouldn't have hyperdrive.
You haven't provided a post to "debunk" us. Where is it at? I would be interested in reading a thoughtful and factual response to this

No, a TIE defender is a different design. If you were to acquire a standard TIE Fighter you could put shields and a hyperdrive on it. From Starwars.com:
"But the Imperial disregard for life and individuality is the weakness of these fighters. Though deadly en masse, in small numbers their vulnerability becomes apparent. Most TIE fighters lack shields and hyperdrives -- systems that are standard in Alliance fighters. Imperial engineers have learned from these shortcomings and have developed specially modified fighters to deal with the Rebel threat."
laser don't make any sound. There is very little gravity, meaning you don't get the motion of movement, space moves around you
What?? Light travels. LASER- Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Sound has nothing to do with it. Yes, the galaxy is slowly expanding and moves around us, but there is a center to the universe (And Einstein was totally correct) and we move in reference to that.
Play the game blast everyone with your hyperdrive fitted TIE and enjoy
I do enjoy playing the game. I just don't like when people ambush intelligent threads. It's not you I am saying that is doing it. See my above posts. This is what the forums are for, to talk about the game, isn't it?

I know sound has nothing to do with it. Its just all the tech posts i've just read stating this, stating that, the Star Wars physics doesn't hold up in the Real World. The Space Battles were made with the audience in mind.
Also if gravity wasn't in Space then whats making this rock were sitting on, revolve around a bright yellow Sun?
We all know about the line were Obi-Wan states " no, its a short range fighter". But before that Solo says "it must of just dropped out of hyperspace" this could be used to tie in ties (lol) with hyperdrives, meaning perhapssome had them and some didn't. A experienced pilot like Solo couldn't tell them apart, yet this guy bragged about outrunning Imp Star Destroyers.
hehe i see you removed the no gravity

We need to find a way to NOT have TIES have hyperdrive. No two ways about it. Just because continuity is lacking does not mean we need to stop fighting for continuity. If the devs won't fight for it, then the players must.
