Why type TAP when you can type V1 or X1?

By heychadwick, in X-Wing

I keep seeing people post about the TAP and it throws me off. Tie Advanced Prototype. Well, the V1 and the X1 are both prototypes. So, the TAP can really apply to both.

Also, it's a lot easier to type V1 instead of TAP. Also, you can differentiate it from Vader's ship by just saying X1. It's easier to identify and easier to type.

Why type out TAP?

Well it's one more letter...

But the real issue is that the V1 is a title that comes with the TAP. So there is a difference between a Tie Adv. Prototype and a Tie Adv. Prototype V1. So you can't use the same designation for both.

V1 is actually harder to type on a standard qwerty keyboard and any mobile device so let's instead wonder the best load for the inquisitor. I think I like him with V1, paired with the Omega Ace+ptl and I can't decide, Vader? Soontir? A pair of other interceptors?

Maybe even Oicunn! I do love oicunn.

Pretty much this.

Also some still insist the TAP can take the x1 title so there's that.

I wonder if anyone will bother taking the V1 without the title, though. I'll stick with calling it the V1.

Also, I'm a good typist and it's easier for me just to hit V1 than TAP.

I think this had to be FAQ'ed

V1 is a TITLE, not a ship (as is X1). The names of the ships (in X-wing) are TIE Advanced and TIE Adv. Prototype (or TAP for short).

Ya

In lore: they're the tie advance v1 and x1

In game: tie advance (x1 for Vader) with the tie/x1 title

And then taps with the tie/v1 title

Deliberately done by ffg to ensure NO OVERLAP between the two ships/titles

Don't have to switch keyboards to type TAP.

I too am pretty sure there's no way the tie adv. prototype gets to use the x1 title, but if it can I'm 100% okay with flying the 'always range 1' pilot with advanced targeting computer. That seems like a monstrosity that would run the board pretty well.

And use it to tap a bottle of champagne made of ground up bits of Darth Vader's mask.

I hate this ****.

Stupid Rebels writers couldn't just give their new stupid ship a new stupid name...

Call the **** thing a TIE Inquisitor! It's a perfect TIE name!
