I was just a door guard on the Deathstar during my early days with the Empire. It sucked, lots of long hours and low pay but I was happy & honored to just be a part of the organization then I got a shot at being a pilot, went through training successfully and was assigned to a standard TIE fighter squadron. Flew in many battles against the rebels and shot down many X-Wings & a few Y-Wings as well. After about 30 successful mission sorties, I was promoted to the Royal Guard and assigned my own TIE Interceptor. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it's beauty, very fast & agile & never let me down. I'm retired now and living in cloud city, I miss those days very much though, that was the time of my life...
It kind of makes sense. If you keep the same size, a manned fighter needs oxygen and life support, extra room for the pilot, room for instrument panels and controls, where the drone basically just needs a computer and the rest of the space can be taken up by armor plating or frankly anything else you feel like bolting on.
You're comparing the Empire when they had almost limitless pilots and resources to when they were on the run and had to fall back on droids. Plus Palpatine was a terrible ruler, for multiple reasons.
GraceAndGlory Go on ahead, I made a lego tie fighter and called it the tie enforcer. It's a defender with the to wing removed and it acts as a medium bomber
Today get a very special Star Wars (Ten) Minutes! One minute for every 10,000 subscribers? I don't know haha I just wanted to do something special as a thank you for 100,000 subscribers! From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single one of you, and I'll be doing more to celebrate very soon!
+Star Wars Minute some of these ties like the vanguard the predator and the neutraliser class look a bit too far and too crazy from a tie design but i have to say the tie scout looks the coolest cus its probably the biggest it can carry out missions on its own and the wings really speak to the bulky design of the ship i like that one the best thanks for doing this i learned some really cool and interesting stuff :D
I absolutely adore the TIE Series designs, with the TIE Interceptor being ranked among my top favorite Sci-fi Ship designs. However if I was a pilot I would never get into any of these spherical coffins ever. Even better models with shields & hypredrives such as the Advanced X1 and Defender, because anyone can see how terrible the cockpit is. In aerial/space combat, awareness is top priority and you need 180 - 360 degree FOV and up as well.
In the story, it would have been very mass-producible, but like most things that would have given the Empire an edge, the production facility got sabotaged by Rebels and then the Emperor got upset and scrapped the project. Basically they'd built another superlaser called the Tarkin (which, you know, also got sabotaged), and Grand Admiral Martio Batch ordered it used on the lava planet Aeten II, blowing the planet open and allowing lots of stygium crystals to be mined for the cloaking devices.
I love the concept and design of TIE fighters. But the one thing that's always bothered me is their lack of visibility to the rear and sides. Doesn't that severely handicap the pilots in dogfights? Has it been explained in the lore at all how they compensate for this lack of visibility?
the helmets very likely have a HUD....ever notice how some times TIE pilots look to the side when getting shot from theside or rear it's to look at the target in the HUD
The standard T.I.E. Fighter contained no shields, hyperdrive, and the first iteration’s weaponry was prime to overheating because the Empire didn’t want to spend money on coolant. T.I.E. pilots had shorter life expectancy than literally any other member of the Empire, or Rebellion for that matter. They were literally expected to run around and do their best to not get shot without knowing where they’re being shot from.
People explained how they can see, but my answer is more practical: The TIE-s were cheap SUPER mass produced units that valued quantity over quality and turned it up to 11. To compensate with Tarkin's doctrine, the Empire trained their pilots to the absolute extreme. On average they were the finest soldiers in the galaxy. It is truly unfortunate they were given the ties to work with (or not...I guess, since that made the rebels winning possible?). The average Empire pilot if given for example an A-wing, X-wing or a more mass produced Interceptor would dominate 8/10 dog fights when outnumbered.
This comment would be so RARE to find. Usually you would find a MEDIUM to MEDIUM-RARE comment but this is really WELL DONE. Now read it back thinking of steak.
Its fun to see how varied the ship Palpatine didn't even want to make became,even if some of them did look like a drunk doodle of a TIE on a napkin. I especially appreciate the mention of the Predator as, even though it makes perfect sense you mentioned it, no one talks about Legacy, anymore, so it sees little screen time in most Star Wars videos today.

@@thecatfather857 No, because I made this comment an entire year ago, & can't remember the context of it whatsoever. I'm going to assume it was stupid though, because I was much more stupid a year ago.
I came up with a variant known as the TIE-MN It was chiefly designed around using short-range senor imaging technology, and thus providing superior visibility tonthe pilot.
I would've said that I was stunned that someone would know any of this but would also make a video about it. Then I looked at the Tolkien stuff that I have. Rock on with your favorite fantasy world. Er.. Galaxy?
Ocelot456 Gaming I usually did that with the gunships, so that id have a spawnpoint inside the enemy hangar and don't have to fly over there EVERY time I'd died without finished rekt the enemy ship
Star Wars Explained-Now this is a great video. Completely my appetite. I research & love real world aircraft and ships like fighters, bombers, destroyers, dreadnaughts, spy planes, drones etc but this vid is a collection of the coolest ships of Star Wars. Great JOB!!!
Actually, the TIE Oppressor was not the first answer to the Y-Wing used by the Rebel Alliance. The TIE MFP was the first answer. Much like the Oppressor, the MFP was a starfighter-bomber hybrid ship that could destroy capital ships with its warhead launcher on the top of the ship between two cockpits and can fight against enemy fighter-to-fighter combat ships. This TIE also included shields and a hyperdrive along with its warhead launcher on top of the fighter and side guns underneath the front of the fighter. The rear cockpit was used for a gunner including a turbolaser turret to defend against enemy ships from behind
And all the ships large and small magically glow in the blackness of deep space...Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the fantasy of it all, it's just confusing sometimes trying to figure where the sci ends and the fi begins.
The engine tech must generate its own small gravity field in order to be able to maneuver through space like they do..., hence why there is gravity in all starships.
+Lori Phillips Yes, I know. In Legends, Death Troopers were zombies, while Dark Troopers were basically just black Strormtroopers, but in canon, those black Stormtroopers that Vader personally has are named Death Troopers in the canon.
Felipe Luna Mora disney ruined it from the beggining after goerge lucas got arid of it, I don't even watch starwars anymore, the franchise is dead because sqeakers are now into it, Because disney is sqeaker friendly.. I hate my pnly friend because he still bought the new ones and and the dumb ea starwars games, I have battlefront from ea ita trash
When it comes to Imperial Starships, I will play as; TIE Bomber TIE Punisher So, in Star Wars games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2, give me the role of the Bombers and obviously I'm going to need Fighter cover, but if I need to fight off my attackers...then I'll have to see what I can do
If I were in charge of commanding the Imperial Navy, then I would adopt the Rebel Tactics of hit and run tactics with a twist. I'd send in 1 Procursator light destroyer to whatever Rebel position lay there where it could launch all of its standard TIEs. As Rebel Pilots were often overzealous with standard TIEs since they were so poor fighters, they'd immediately pounce on them, which would draw most of them away from their ships. Then I'd have Phantoms and Defenders drop out of hyperspace, and make a beeline for the exposed Rebel ships where they'd line up to cripple them with torpedoes and missiles. After crippling the ships they could double back and mop up the Rebel fighters, as 2 Imperial Class ships would join the fray and pound the crippled ships into oblivion. (Depending on the the size of the Rebel Fleet there would be more Imperial ships, or heavier ones such as Allegiant Class or Praetor Class.)
That screen shot of Vaders TIE Advanced 1, looked like it was out of a book. Would you happen to know which book it is? I would like something that shows cutouts and details of how it all works.
+Jon Evans DK publications I believe. Here is the Amazon link: www.amazon.com/Incredible-Cross-Sections-Star-Wars-Spacecraft/dp/0789434806/ref=pd_sim_14_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=61mqcZ0Wq%2BL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR121%2C160_&refRID=1AVP3Q2J3XT44ZSZFM1N
My favourites: TIE Aggressor TIE Advanced X1 Inquisitor TIE TIE Bomber TIE Defender TIE Interceptor The TIE Interceptor has always been one of my absolut favourite TIE Fighter. Most of the other TIE Fighters i can't acknowledge, and i won't accept them in any way.
I always loved the Tie Defender. It fulfilled the same niche as the B-Wing in Empire at War, but was so much better in lore Its design feels like a natural progression trying to get rid of some of the most glaring tie fighter issues, too.
Cut out "True Star Wars" and bs like that. It is just used by haters who want an umbrella term they can twist into meaning whatever they want It to mean
The Lancet Aerial Artillery ship is a Frankenstein ship by made by attaching two Bomber cockpit pods to the sides of a Lambda shuttle, Interceptor claw panels for the wings, and half a standard fighter hexagon panel for the vertical fin.
My favorite Star Wars ship, the Belator Class Super Star Destroyer, c'mon can't say it is not beautiful with the thousands of turbolasers embedded across the entire hull.
+Vrox11 Imagine crewing a Mon Cal class when a Bellator turns it's bow towards you, that's 99% of the guns onboard pointing straight at you, i'd shit my pants in less terrifying situations. I once counted all the turrets in fractalsponges model and it made over a few hundred if i remember right
Yep. Belator's, if they were mass produced to replace the ISD-2, Empire would've won, since the Belator is basically given as much fire power to cost to build the ship ratio, to make the Executor class too big, too expensive, and under armed, compared to the amount of Belators that can be made for the price of one Executor Class. Like, one Executor could be replaced with 6-10 Belators, for the same price, more guns, and more ships, more targets to not have one giant target to hit like what happened when the A-Wing took out the controls for the Executor, if that was 6 or 10 Belators, there'd still be 5-9 more to kill everything still.
+André TM i don't think there will be "new" anything for the Resistance, as the movie took some time to point out that there were using junk and old stuff, A-wings, sure but unless they got themselves a rich backer it will be old school.
I was 7 when episode 1 came out. It was my introduction to starwars. My dad was so against that idea he actually opened his collector's set of the original trilogy so I could watch them instead. When I loved them as much as he did, he bought me a bunch of figures over the next few years. My first toy ship was the TIE advanced, and it could fit figures into the cockpit, blast a missile, and lose it's wings. Bc of that, the tie advanced will always be my favorite
Technically, the TIE boarding shuttle appeared in Episode IV. The Imperials used it to board Tantive IV after catching it in their hangar. The VIP transport was used by one of the captains in Episode V to transfer between ships. I think it was when he personally apologized to Vader and got choked.
I've been reading a book that talks about a chiss clawcraft. I googled it and it looks a lot like a tie devastator or tie reaper. Was thinking a video comparing the clawcraft to some of the tie fighters would be cool. Or just one specific to the chiss clawcraft if you haven't already done that.
Unfortunately, ion engines are pretty bad for a fighter. The benefit of them is that you can leave them on for years but they have insanely low thrust. Actual twin ion engine ships would not be maneuverable. In real life, ion engines are used for long-term interplanetary missions, such as the Dawn spacecraft, but this takes years and doesn't make sense in a universe with FTL.
Two questions: What does the "LN" stand for in "TIE/LN", and what is that weird boxy thing on top of the TIE Scout? Is it supposed to be the hyperdrive? It looks more like there's some kind of spacious room up there with several vertical windows, like the pilot's personal lounge featuring a minifridge, Dejarik table and a hot tub with a view.
LN means "Line". The official name of the TIE fighter is "TIE/Line Fighter." As for the TIE Scout, yes that box thing is space for troops. It is a reconnaissance ship, the only one which doesn't need capital ship support.
+Ocelot456 Gaming also there very unfair along with the b-wing "o hey I just one shot you from half way across the map" or "hey that guys at full health let's fix that and put him at 3"
X-wing pilot: WHAT IS THAT!
Y-wing pilot: I have no idea, they come out with new ties every day.

It kind of makes sense.

My favourite as an old PC gamer: The TIE Defender of the great game TIE Fighter, back in the 90's!
Before you get up in arms about "The TIE Striker isn't in here!," know that this video was made before Rogue One.
Regal Two yeah but that's CANON.
@@CaptainCFalcon Do you realize how stupid you sound with that reply?
Regal Two You know at the end of Rogue One, saw Vader's Shuttle, Two TIE Fighters and Two... TIE Bombers? Yeah, those were actually TIE Boarding Craft, apparently.
@@thecatfather857 No, because I made this comment an entire year ago, & can't remember the context of it whatsoever.
I'm going to assume it was stupid though, because I was much more stupid a year ago.
@@thecatfather857 how do you even saw this one again?
Edit: I thought you're the one whos comment this is ...
Would you be willing to consider doing a video on the various Star Destroyers in the Legends universe?
+Trojanponey I'm working on one :)
Star Wars Minute
"Jump up in air and clap hands with glee"!
+Star Wars Minute do a video about disneyland instead.... rather than star wars.
+Star Wars Explained what book did u use
+Richard Beillon Disney bought Star Wars
The video goes so far beyond a simple Minute ! Great video!
I came up with a variant known as the TIE-MN
It was chiefly designed around using short-range senor imaging technology, and thus providing superior visibility tonthe pilot.
MY favorites are
1: tie defender
2: tie phantom
3: SF tie fighter
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says TIE.
😂😂😂 yesss
whiskey or voldka?
+Aaron Walker Scotch
FYI you'll be drunk in under a minute ;D
+Fr0st1989 why waste time on the pre-game?
I would've said that I was stunned that someone would know any of this but would also make a video about it. Then I looked at the Tolkien stuff that I have. Rock on with your favorite fantasy world. Er.. Galaxy?
+Jayhawkga I love Tolkien too!
+Star Wars Minute I like Tolkien too to the point off knowing his full name.
you mean John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (J.R.R). You forgot the last 'R'.
I know
I loved flying Tie Interceptors in Battlefront 2
Ocelot456 Gaming I usually did that with the gunships, so that id have a spawnpoint inside the enemy hangar and don't have to fly over there EVERY time I'd died without finished rekt the enemy ship
AAAAAHH
Star Wars
Explained-Now this is a great video. Completely my appetite. I research & love real world aircraft and ships like fighters, bombers, destroyers, dreadnaughts, spy planes, drones etc but this vid is a collection of the coolest ships of Star Wars. Great JOB!!!
Tie bizarro looks cool and bizarre😃
Also loved the tie sentinel, predator, and assault bomber...
Actually, the TIE Oppressor was not the first answer to the Y-Wing used by the Rebel Alliance. The TIE MFP was the first answer. Much like the Oppressor, the MFP was a starfighter-bomber hybrid ship that could destroy capital ships with its warhead launcher on the top of the ship between two cockpits and can fight against enemy fighter-to-fighter combat ships. This TIE also included shields and a hyperdrive along with its warhead launcher on top of the fighter and side guns underneath the front of the fighter. The rear cockpit was used for a gunner including a turbolaser turret to defend against enemy ships from behind
Love how rich Legends lore is.
F**k Yes.
I’m just glad Bizarro isn’t canon
Ah yes, Star Wars. Where physics doesn't matter and pilots don't need to look to the side
+Steven Chabot lmao lol
+Steven Chabot this is why is sooo awsome ;)
well even with todays tech..helmets have HUD's so they can know whats around them without proper ability to see..
And all the ships large and small magically glow in the blackness of deep space...Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the fantasy of it all, it's just confusing sometimes trying to figure where the sci ends and the fi begins.
The engine tech must generate its own small gravity field in order to be able to maneuver through space like they do..., hence why there is gravity in all starships.
Finally, someone made a video about almost all the TIE fighters, thanks.
Some reason everytime I hear a Tie Fighter scream it makes me smile. I love these things.
My favorite TIE is the one you wear around your neck.
and then tie around the ceiling fan
+meme queen popcorn machine ha my dad did that how did you know
#tie fighters. people who fight ties
+the final night no, it's people that fights wearing a tie
Kole VanDerGracht lol i am him i did it cause youre gay
TIE Defender is canon.
Yup! He explained that in his separate video about it.
Where?
+Jckuz1man some mobile star wars game made a lot of old EU vehicles canon, like the t2-b and the defender
+Lori Phillips Yes, but the "Dark Trooper's" are renamed into "Death Trooper's", another homage to Legends material.
+Lori Phillips Yes, I know. In Legends, Death Troopers were zombies, while Dark Troopers were basically just black Strormtroopers, but in canon, those black Stormtroopers that Vader personally has are named Death Troopers in the canon.
Tie Phantom:
It Has Shields
It has a Hyperdrive
but most importantly...
it has a cloaking device
I love tie crawler
No ship that small has a cloaking device
That TIE Defender is my favorite! Its just soooo gorgeous!!!
Soundwave 84 I think it looks ridiculous but I can’t deny it’s a great ship
It reminds me of a 8y old taking appart his toy and reasembling it in any way possible. ( big fan of the original 3)
You Have passion for star wars, not like those fake fans that think is cool for fashion and seeing first time star wars 7, Now u have a subscriber.
So true
Cut out "fake fan" bs. It is only used by haters who want a term they can twist and mold into to mean whatever they want It to mean at the moment.
The only "fake fans" are those who irrationally spill their hatred on every Star Wars movie that does not belong to the original trilogy
Felipe Luna Mora disney ruined it from the beggining after goerge lucas got arid of it, I don't even watch starwars anymore, the franchise is dead because sqeakers are now into it, Because disney is sqeaker friendly..
I hate my pnly friend because he still bought the new ones and and the dumb ea starwars games, I have battlefront from ea ita trash
When it comes to Imperial Starships, I will play as;
TIE Bomber
TIE Punisher
So, in Star Wars games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2, give me the role of the Bombers and obviously I'm going to need Fighter cover, but if I need to fight off my attackers...then I'll have to see what I can do
The most significant thing a TIE fighter of any kind can do is open special doors in Lego SW: The Complete Saga.
If I were in charge of commanding the Imperial Navy, then I would adopt the Rebel Tactics of hit and run tactics with a twist. I'd send in 1 Procursator light destroyer to whatever Rebel position lay there where it could launch all of its standard TIEs. As Rebel Pilots were often overzealous with standard TIEs since they were so poor fighters, they'd immediately pounce on them, which would draw most of them away from their ships. Then I'd have Phantoms and Defenders drop out of hyperspace, and make a beeline for the exposed Rebel ships where they'd line up to cripple them with torpedoes and missiles. After crippling the ships they could double back and mop up the Rebel fighters, as 2 Imperial Class ships would join the fray and pound the crippled ships into oblivion. (Depending on the the size of the Rebel Fleet there would be more Imperial ships, or heavier ones such as Allegiant Class or Praetor Class.)
Great video and all the tie fighters are cool.
7:50 Okay. Who thought this was a good idea?
Darth Bart at least it has sheilds and a hyperdrive and was able to be piloted by a drone
Imagine the explosion that the TIE punisher would cause.
with FULL inventory
That screen shot of Vaders TIE Advanced 1, looked like it was out of a book. Would you happen to know which book it is? I would like something that shows cutouts and details of how it all works.
+Jon Evans That would be the cross sections book. Search for Star Wars Cross Sections on Amazon and you'll see a couple options :)
+Jon Evans DK publications I believe. Here is the Amazon link: www.amazon.com/Incredible-Cross-Sections-Star-Wars-Spacecraft/dp/0789434806/ref=pd_sim_14_5?ie=UTF8&dpID=61mqcZ0Wq%2BL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR121%2C160_&refRID=1AVP3Q2J3XT44ZSZFM1N
+Star Wars Minute make a video about the x wing because there should be different types of them
Jon A. Evans have a nice day
My favourites:
TIE Aggressor
TIE Advanced X1
Inquisitor TIE
TIE Bomber
TIE Defender
TIE Interceptor
The TIE Interceptor has always been one of my absolut favourite TIE Fighter.
Most of the other TIE Fighters i can't acknowledge, and i won't accept them in any way.
I always loved the Tie Defender. It fulfilled the same niche as the B-Wing in Empire at War, but was so much better in lore
Its design feels like a natural progression trying to get rid of some of the most glaring tie fighter issues, too.
this video is like Bangkok, so many ties.
KW. 😂😂😂
i would love to see legends tie fighter designs appear in the new cannon like the tie phantom, the chiss claw craft, tie hunter.
Gratz for 100k
Hidden mickey at 3:43
Thank You So Much for this Enjoyable Presentation of the Imperial TIE Fighter variants ... Stay Safe & Stay Grateful! 🌍
8:42 Star Wars answer to the german V-1 rocket
Has somebody noticed the stormtrooper riding the tie mauler at 9:19?
I see him! Hello!
I love Thai fighters.
This comment is like Bangkok
So many *TIEs*
I like Thai fighters to, there good at trench runs
FINALLY a true eu star wars video. none of that disney crap
Cut out "True Star Wars" and bs like that. It is just used by haters who want an umbrella term they can twist into meaning whatever they want It to mean
The Lancet Aerial Artillery ship is a Frankenstein ship by made by attaching two Bomber cockpit pods to the sides of a Lambda shuttle, Interceptor claw panels for the wings, and half a standard fighter hexagon panel for the vertical fin.
Great video! I found the TIE Hunter and the experimental TIE's most interesting, again GREAT VIDEO!
My favorite Star Wars ship, the Belator Class Super Star Destroyer, c'mon can't say it is not beautiful with the thousands of turbolasers embedded across the entire hull.
+Vrox11 Imagine crewing a Mon Cal class when a Bellator turns it's bow towards you, that's 99% of the guns onboard pointing straight at you, i'd shit my pants in less terrifying situations. I once counted all the turrets in fractalsponges model and it made over a few hundred if i remember right
Yep. Belator's, if they were mass produced to replace the ISD-2, Empire would've won, since the Belator is basically given as much fire power to cost to build the ship ratio, to make the Executor class too big, too expensive, and under armed, compared to the amount of Belators that can be made for the price of one Executor Class. Like, one Executor could be replaced with 6-10 Belators, for the same price, more guns, and more ships, more targets to not have one giant target to hit like what happened when the A-Wing took out the controls for the Executor, if that was 6 or 10 Belators, there'd still be 5-9 more to kill everything still.
I'd be a lot more terrified if an Assertor-Class stared firing on My Ship.
It's odd that TFA only had X-Wings and TIE Fighters, hopefully Episode VIII has some other types.
+Ross T I agree. The Poe Dameron comic has at least confirmed A-Wings are still around at that time. I'm sure we'll see more in the coming films.
I'm sure they will too :)
+Ross T Maybe they only used them because they wanted to make a more classic SW experience and most people are familiar with the TIE's and X-wings.
+André TM i don't think there will be "new" anything for the Resistance, as the movie took some time to point out that there were using junk and old stuff, A-wings, sure but unless they got themselves a rich backer it will be old school.
+Ross T but the Tie had way more weapons and could fire backwards ! which is kinda cool.... if you like tie fighters ...
I hope to see some of those legends tie fighters are in rogue one
I was 7 when episode 1 came out.
It was my introduction to starwars. My dad was so against that idea he actually opened his collector's set of the original trilogy so I could watch them instead.
When I loved them as much as he did, he bought me a bunch of figures over the next few years.
My first toy ship was the TIE advanced, and it could fit figures into the cockpit, blast a missile, and lose it's wings.
Bc of that, the tie advanced will always be my favorite
The DEFENDER will ALWAYS be my fav! Deadly beyond description. Flew it on XWing Alliance.
Technically, the TIE boarding shuttle appeared in Episode IV. The Imperials used it to board Tantive IV after catching it in their hangar. The VIP transport was used by one of the captains in Episode V to transfer between ships. I think it was when he personally apologized to Vader and got choked.
I've been reading a book that talks about a chiss clawcraft. I googled it and it looks a lot like a tie devastator or tie reaper. Was thinking a video comparing the clawcraft to some of the tie fighters would be cool. Or just one specific to the chiss clawcraft if you haven't already done that.
Unfortunately, ion engines are pretty bad for a fighter. The benefit of them is that you can leave them on for years but they have insanely low thrust. Actual twin ion engine ships would not be maneuverable. In real life, ion engines are used for long-term interplanetary missions, such as the Dawn spacecraft, but this takes years and doesn't make sense in a universe with FTL.
You clearly think star wars is accurate science fiction. It's not. It's science fantasy.
Ben Hamilton i hear it can take years for an ion engine on earth to reach top speed
But the twin ion engines sound so cool!
I only just found this! At least 5 of these are my designs I created for X-Wing: Alliance and Rebel Assault 2. Good times!
The boarding shuttle was used in Rogue One to transport Darth Vader to board the Rebel Capital Ship.
Two questions: What does the "LN" stand for in "TIE/LN", and what is that weird boxy thing on top of the TIE Scout? Is it supposed to be the hyperdrive? It looks more like there's some kind of spacious room up there with several vertical windows, like the pilot's personal lounge featuring a minifridge, Dejarik table and a hot tub with a view.
LN means "Line". The official name of the TIE fighter is "TIE/Line Fighter." As for the TIE Scout, yes that box thing is space for troops. It is a reconnaissance ship, the only one which doesn't need capital ship support.
The tie defenders are in Star Wars battlefront now.
And in rebels... Canon guys
+weissnicht01 wait there in rebels how did they ruin it?
+Ocelot456 Gaming also there very unfair along with the b-wing "o hey I just one shot you from half way across the map" or "hey that guys at full health let's fix that and put him at 3"
Logan Macdonald There's always one hater
No ship that small could have a cloaking device!!
That one does 😏
That was AWESOME! I had a nerd attack in my head while watching this video. i was only familiar with 4 of those TIEs!
Tie Hunter and Tie Phantom look awesome. Might use that for my Sith Lord character.
