Re: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter

That's cute, but totally fake. Everyone knows that an X-Wing has shields and should be able to take at least one direct hit, whereas TIE Fighters are cheap and their pilots cheaper, and they are easily destroyed with a single laser blast.

Re: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter

No a space ready X-Wing would have shields. No one said this was a deployable X-Wing.

Star Wars shields also don't mean much.

Meh, a Defiant class would pwn all the Star Wars fighters put together.

Heck just give me a regular shuttlepod with O'Brian, Data and La Forge and watch me conquer that galaxy far far away.

Mhurron: if it wasn't deployable they wouldn't have launched it.

Prototype- n a first or preliminary model of something, esp. a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied : the firm is testing a prototype of the weapon. See note at model .
• a typical example of something : the prototype of all careerists is Judas.
• the archetypal example of a class of living organisms, astronomical objects, or other items : these objects are the prototypes of a category of rapidly spinning neutron stars.
• a building, vehicle, or other object that acts as a pattern for a full-scale model.

Re: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter

But are you really suggesting throwing a prototype of one ship up against the real thing of the other? That hardly seems fair.

The Empire destroying a X-Wing prototype could be a major setback for the Rebellion with minimal resources expended on the Empires side.

Re: X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter

Perhaps, but would rebel engineers really be so stupid as to launch a prototype X-Wing when there's a possibility of it being destroyed like that?
