yeah, you're right: flying as fast as you can because hell is about 5 steps behind you

The worst part about trying to avoid all those enemy beams (especially if your hull strength is low) is also not colliding with another ship!

Eh, I clipped the Rommel when chasing a Nial ... about fifteen seconds later, the Sharlins behind it opened fire. Unfortunately, I was, uh, shall we say, "in the way" ?

Man, that was funny.

Flying through ships and stuff - the ultimate l33t flythrough move was in TIE Fighter - flying through that civilian liner...you had to do it just right or you'd plaster yourself all over the place. Needless to say, this is only fun in an unshielded and fast TIE.

Niffty pic A# I enjoy flying through the hyperion and you hear that your wingmen are not as skillful because they prang into the side

Oh, just make it easy on yourself, why don't you? TIE Interceptor - the purest blend of ludicrous speed, firepower, and manueverability. I could take out small capital ships in a T/I

Obviously, get tagged twice and you're dead ...

And if we're going to go for overpowered Empire ships, give me a fully loaded Missile Boat and a tractor beam. Fighters = dead. If I put some heavy rockets in secondary bay #2, Everything = dead.

Yes, I do have to admit that the TIE Interceptor is indeed one of my favorites

TIE (=Twin Ion Engine btw ) Interceptor is a nice fighter...
I loved to fly it in TIE Fighter game. Defender it too perfect IMHO...

TIE advanced looks cool, and kicks ass pretty well. It's in X-Wing Alliance, dunno if it's in other SW sims.
But I still like the 'standart' TIE fighter better

Wasn't the TIE advanced in "TIE fighter"?

alright how about the TIE experimentals? lol how about the one that had a rocket strapped to the back of it, that was crazy and fun to fly. if u wonder what game its from get X-wing alliance, it is slow to begin but just wait till the later levels

XWA was fun, but I didn't like the clipping problems in the last level. That was pretty bogus. Pretty neat to do that though.

I did like the 4 sectors of parallel gametime (connected via those hyperspace buoys) trick - that was a really neat idea.

And yeah, it starts out reallly slow. stock YT-1300 slow
