Thread: Just for fun, my TIE Interceptor
Hhhh, may to throw one together. I was flying around in my Advanced the other night, but I hate the throttle mod on it. If I transfered all the equipment to the Interceptor but replaced the L8 Engine with my L6, that could be some fun 
You and I can run around Deepspace embarassing the rebels with our interceptors 
I could nitpick at the stats of some of your components but I will just say, keep collecting those parts and get some good REs. You are in the ballpark but upgrading is very possible. Having recently loaded out several lower mass ships I congratulate you for giving the interceptor a second look. Not an easy choice when you can get a Heavy Tie.

Heh, most of those are RE's, leftovers from other projects!
Last night was fun, I think I'll hang on to this for a while, maybe start seriously trying to equip it.
but I think an exceptionally fantastic pilot may be able to pull it off. Lvl 8 engine and a lvl 5 gun perhaps...mk III shield? Not punchy or strong in the protection department, but the engine would be up to scratch at least and the weapon spread is better than most ships...Hmm, I might try that when I start up on Valcyn.

What about a L8 engine + Img Rec and no lasers
You'd have to land a lot..but I bet you could get a lot of kills while are up there!
I love the Interceptor. I set one up with my alt with a Lvl 10 Engine.. thing danced beautifully. but, was only able to stick in a lvl 4 gun. No shields, no armor. Nailed a JSF five times before Starscream came in and finished him for me That was a blast. Felt like a real Interceptor. I did just change it out to a lvl 8 engine and upped the gun to a lvl 7. but only been able to take it out once. Fought an Awing and had a good duel in it, but could definately tell a difference between the Lvl 8 and lvl 10.

Nah, being stuck to his tail with a L10 engine + lag = no actual time to deploy countermeasures. The missile will hit him on the server before he even gets the warning on the client. Or at least close enough to that that he won't have time to react.

As a simple responce..I'm more of a gunfighter so I wouldnt mind ditching missiles.
