Oh, I agree. I won't argue that I'm being totally anal about this. I also won't argue that it's a totally and completely stupid thing to be this anal about. It is however a decent conversation about something I enjoy and it's made it this long without breaking down into name calling and trolling so I'm willing to roll…

And that "advance" is an advance on the standard tie model. It may carry a specific designation(advance or X1 or whatever you want to call it)but at the end of the day it is a twin ion engine powered fighter. This makes it a TIE fighter. An advanced tie fighter, but a tie fighter none the less. It doesn't transport…

It's a purpose built craft...it's purpose is to be a fighter. It's powered by twin ion engines. This, by definition makes it a TIE fighter. Just like any real world fighter that is powered by jet engines is a jet fighter. They get the "TIE" designation from their power source, they get fighter/bomber/interceptor etc.…

I agree. I'd be lying if I said this was the first time I've had this conversation with someone.

Ok, I've seen them say some crazy stuff but that takes the cake.

Yeah, pretty much nothing more than semantics. I just always called it Vader's TIE fighter also. If it served a different purpose like the interceptors or the bombers did then I'd be less willing to stick to my argument but since it was intended to serve the same purpose as the ship it was to replace, I just feel it's…

I don't know that "volunteer" would ever be the right word when you're working for Vader and the Emperor. And you can say whatever you want about what it may lack, what it most assuredly does NOT lack is being cool as all fuck.

By strict definition, no, it may not be a Tie Fighter by name. However, based on its classification, starFIGHTER, and it's most likely intended purpose, it is a Tie Fighter. If it's going to replace and improve upon something that was a fighter and did the same thing then it's the same thing with a fancier name.

I realize it was Vader's prototype, it was also a new iteration of the TIE fighter. Also, seeing as it is a starfighter class ship, it's a TIE fighter.

The Tie Fighter had always been my favorite Star Wars vehicle. This is fucking awesome and I may have to touch myself over it.

Cool, thanks for the info. I have no doubt that it will prove quite useful.

Going to have to download this game when I get home. Never really played mech games before but this is a pretty good reason to start. Great story, Owen.

This. I'm a manager in a retail store and one of my responsibilities each night I close is to clean the restrooms. I am ALWAYS amazed at how much dirtier the woman's is compared to the men's. From urine on the seat to toilet paper/paper towels in the floor. I don't know if it's because I subconsciously believe women…

I don't see any scenario where this doesn't end up being the best thing I've seen this year. Thank you.

Stupidity. There is really no other word, reason, or explanation needed. Just frank and total stupidity.

I'm glad you could even understand my post. I just now realized how badly my phone mangled it.

It's always the money. What I would like to see is the ability to transfer your franchises/career/be a would I don't mess with the ultimate teams too much...just against the CPU...but to have to restary my franchise would suck.

I can't say it in my head and not laugh. It's kind of awkward when people are around but fuck them, bunch of dicktits.

I couldn't even begin to tell you what they are by name. I like them all though. I'm assuming the Pride ones are the ones with the flag plastered all over the helmet? I really dig whichever one they wear they matte black helmet with.
