Overview
This Guide contains the Tech Room Specs for each playable Spacecraft in Star Wars: TIE Fighter.
1. TIE Fighter
TIE Fighter (T/F)
10 meters in length
100 MGLT Top Speed
Dual Laser Cannons
15 RU Hull
The TIE Fighter is the standard Imperial starfighter, and is certainly representative of how the Empire used to view starfighter combat: throw a large number of cheap fighters at your opponent and pray for the best.
2. TIE Interceptor
TIE Interceptor (T/I)
10 meters in length
110 MGLT Top Speed
Quad Laser Cannons
20 RU Hull
The TIE Interceptor is an improvement over the standard TIE Fighter. Equipped with quad laser cannons and an improved engine for higher top speed, this craft was designed to combat the Rebel X-Wing starfighters, but can also be used effectively against almost any number of Rebel or Imperial craft.
3. TIE Bomber
TIE Bomber (T/B)
10 meters in length
80 MGLT Top Speed
Dual Laser Cannons
Dual Warhead Launchers
50 RU Hull
The TIE Bomber is a heavily armed variant of the TIE Fighter. It is slower than its counterparts, but what it sacrifices in speed it makes up for in heavier armor and a dual warhead launcher. While not as capable a dogfighter as the Interceptor or the Fighter, the Bomber can hold more than its own, especially if equipped with concussion missiles!
4. TIE Advanced/TIE Avenger
TIE Advanced/TIE Avenger (T/A)
10 meters in length
145 MGLT Top Speed
Quad Laser Cannons
Dual Warhead Launchers
100 SBD Shield
20 RU Hull
Finally, a TIE Fighter with shields!! The TIE Advanced is the result of research that ultimately saw first combat when Darth Vader piloted the X1 prototype during the Battle of Yavin. This will become THE standard craft of both your allies and your enemies once it becomes available. This craft is otherwise known as the TIE Avenger.
5. Cygnus Spaceworks Craft
NOTE: In the Star Wars Cannon, the Cygnus Spaceworks Company remained loyal to The Empire once they took control of the galaxy after The Clone Wars.
= Assault Gunboat
Assault Gunboat (GUN)
15 meters in length
90 MGLT Top Speed
Dual Laser cannons
Dual Ion Cannons
Dual Warhead Launcher
100 SBD Shield
50 RU Hull.
One of two craft that you can pilot that come equipped with ion cannons, a powerful tool when used
correctly. By disabling craft, rather than destroying them, you can sometimes prevent future waves of craft from entering, thus enabling you to deal with other problems.
= Missile Gunboat
Missile Boat (MIS)
10 meters in length
125 MGLT Top Speed
Single Laser Cannon
Two Dual Warhead Launchers
120 SBD Shield
20 RU Hull
Designed to counter the TIE Defender, it is uniquely equipped with a SLAM system. How this works is, by engaging the system, your engines will work at up to 200% and effectively double your speed, but in the process will drain power from your laser cannon.
6. TIE Defender
TIE Defender (T/D)
10 meters in length
155 MGLT Top Speed
Quad Laser Cannons
Dual Ion Cannons
Dual Warhead Launcher
200 SBD Shield
20 RU Hull
Not only is it fast, its shields are strong and it is armed to the teeth. Its just too bad that the Empire didn’t design such a craft sooner; they could have decimated Rebel forces with the power of this
craft.
In X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter. The Database has the TIE Defender but it reads:
“This craft is TOO Powerful to be put in the Simluator. Dream on, fanboy.”
7. ADG Episode 77
Tagline: “You Rebel Scum!”
Released: 1994 Disney Interactive/LucasFilm (LucasArts)
Genre: 1-Player FP Action Simulation
NOTES: The Most Common Version of TIE Fighter is the 1995 Collector’s CD-ROM Version since there’s Multiple Versions. Also, the CD-ROM Version doesn’t contain Copy Protection unlike the Floppy Disk Version. The Hard to Find Version is the 1998 X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter Engine. When you get the CD-ROM version, check to see if it says: “Windows 95/98” or not on the CD-ROM.
The TIE Advanced shown In-Game within TIE Fighter is known as the TIE Avenger.
But the TIE Avenger is not the same as Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced Prototype.
