Well, we're getting off topic, but in the original TIE Fighter game (ie
- no
addons) the TIE Interceptor does not have ion cannons. The TIE Defender
and
Assault ship do, though, but they also come with shields.  In the last
mission
of the campaign I did take out a SD with a Defender. Somewhat difficult,
but not
impossible, once the starfighters defending it were taken out.

So, to get back to FT, anyone got any ideas for stats for the Defender?

Also, I too am working on some SW stats for Star Destroyers.  I'd like
to run a
scenario similar to the Hoth raid - SDs warp in, some resistance to
their attack
which determines what percentage of their troops land, then land the
troops and
move over to the DS2 battlefield.

This requires a megaship, though, to account for the number of walkers
and
troops a SD can carry in addition to its fighter complement.

I'll post my design for review when finished.
