SarYehudah Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi Lavo, First I would like to thank you and your team for such an amazing mod. I recently purchased Sins Rebellion and am trying to get used to it. I did add you on steam. My icon is from Futurama 'Philip Fry,' so you know it's me. I want to know if SOAGE has Tie Advanced fighters. If it doesn't, I would like to know if you intend to add them and if not, whole heartedly request that you do. By the way, I am surprised and amazed at how many factions you have, including the Yuuzhan Vong. I would really like to have access to fighters (not just bombers) with shielding.

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted July 19, 2013 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted July 19, 2013 TIE Advanced were a limited prototype ship, they were not mass produced. Given the limited number of fighters slots, we really couldn't fit them in.

SarYehudah Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ah okay. But there are TIE ships with shields available yes? I thought they did produce later TIE Advanced models in mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted July 19, 2013 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted July 19, 2013 The TIE Avenger would have been the production model - it was much more expensive and rarely deployed. Zaarin ended up destroying most of the production factories for it. The TIE Defender is similar, it was well equipped to fight Rebel starfighters but also very expensive.

Lavo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The TIE Avenger and Defender were both really good fighters, but they did not get adopted as "regular" units like the TIE Fighter and Interceptor were. That very reason is enough of an argument against their inclusion, in addition to possible balance issues. In all truth the Empire does not desperately need shielded fighters, nor would it be entirely canon to allow all ships to build them. Perhaps most notably, the Avenger would have to replace an existing fighter, as ships can only have up to four squadron types, which is not something I am willing to do. As for Steam, don't have access to it atm, and I'm glad you're enjoying SoGE! Sins of a Galactic Empire staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
