Yes, shipwrights can make you a Heavy TIE variant. They are a bit expensive because they use asteroid resources, but they look like a normal TIE Fighter but have a much higher mass. The Interceptor is the RGI (but it's hitbox is currently bugged) and the Advanced is the same old advanced, but its still a good ship. Light, but small and manueverable.

if you refuse to fly a JSF for what ever reason why fly a RGI the hitbox is way bugged and even I (I used to fly a JSF before I started the 9x ace thing) feel guilty flying it. I think the modification for the tie fighter is the heavy variant. The modification for the advanced is some side panel add ons that do nothing but look kinda cool.

I think what the OP is refering to is that every ship listed on that page has some improved stats, except for the TIE advanced. They clearly call the TIE advanced 'modified' a new RotW ship. And so far no one has seen it.Yes you can put strakes on an advanced, but I've not seen any benifit from doing so. I think something got left out of the implementation.

Thanks for the info folks. To bad the modified advanced doesnt have any benefit but your right still a very solid ship.

please excuse the noob question...but what is an RGI?

Royal Guard Interceptor

The Red Squint

ok..i hate to keep asking noob questions, buti finaly decided to get master pilot, so im not up to speed on anything, would someone be so kind as to explain exacly what the bug is on the "RGI" heh, (ty for telling me what that is ), and what is the effects of it.

Sure, the hit box is messed up. Instead of being relativly accurate on the surfaces of the ship (most ships in JTL, the laser has to hit the actual ship to count, not just a generic bubble around it like in XvT or something) the hit box is actually smaller than the size of the cockitpit ball, and slightly above it.

This makes it REALLY hard to hit, even for the supper accurate aimbot AI. In PvP, its almost impossible, as the target is both so tiny and just some imaginary point you have to aim for.

So it's a bug in favor of the pilot, but it would be pretty underhanded to bring that ship into a PvP situation. which is too bad, it's really nice. I wish they would fix it

Overkill is fun.

very interesting...thank you, i had no idea. sounds like an awsome ship...but hardly one to play in pvp as you said, pretty underhanded heh../kowtow

So there's no benefit in modifying the TIE Advanced?
