ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 But Thrawn is suggesting removing TIEs in favor of anti starfighter weaponry. Therefore the X-wings or whatnot could move in, fire tops and quickly get out.... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I think we can all agree on this: the ISD is very powerful but without its fighter escort it is not very effective. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yep, Rebel fighters are just too dangerous with their proton torps.... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 But fighters without any heavy weaponry will surely have some problems. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Which is why fighters with warheads were not a common sight, some elite squadrons would be equipped with them, but unless the mission objectives demanded it, I don't think they would have warheads. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Attacking an ISD would certainly be a mission objective to demand warheads... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 But that's not a common objective. Fighters are meant to use against fighters, or for hit-and-fade attacks. B-Wings, Y-Wings and K-Wings, and their Imperial Counterparts do have those objectives, but they require escorts. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 It's not common and all, but I do belive it was what we were discussing Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Its true. Fighters are for fighters and caps are for caps. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 But Y-Wings, B-Wings and K-Wings aren't fighters, they're bombers. I suppose having a strictly capp ship navy would be a bad idea, no matter how good the anti-fighter power of the caps is. Jus think how bad WW II would have been if the allies only used AA guns, and not fighters. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Japan would have PWNED us! AA guns or whatnot are nice and all, but they don't make up for a lack of fighters... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 And you have to add the costs. It often comes out cheaper to build fighters. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 That's true. The empire could build thousands of TIEs for the cost of a single ISD. Pluss, those TIEs would take less manpower to man than the ISD. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance.

Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I still think they should have put an ejector seat of some kind. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADarkJedi44 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yep, but the Empire's faith in capitol ships. Would you be more afraid of an ISD or a thousand or so TIEs equipped with hyperdrives? Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trejiuvanat Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Thousand TIEs cannot terrorize a population as an ISD can. But an Impstar isn't that scary without TIEs. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Really? I don't think I'd want to go up against a Star Destroyer no matter what... well, unless I was in an Eclypse Super Star Destroyer. History is on the move, Captain.

Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, or anything bigger than an ISD I guess History is on the move, Captain.

ADarkJedi44 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 True Trej, but if they replaced a thousand of their 25,000 ISDs with TIEs.....Well a million TIEs with hyperdrives and a bunch of ISDs would be pretty fearsome Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 27, 2004 Author Share Posted July 27, 2004 I'd be more concerned about TIEs with shields. THose things would be harder to take down... but I guess they wouldn't be as mobile as if they had hyperdrives. History is on the move, Captain.

ADarkJedi44 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Well a few thousand TIEs would be quite fearsome no matter what.... Sweat saves blood-Erwin Rommel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Thrawn has a point, shielded TIEs would definetely be more fearsome. A few Impstars with shielded TIEs, now that would be fearsome. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Yeah, higher ranked officers would have TIE interceptors with Hyperdrive and shields. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
