I'd also like to see the TIE Boarding Craft (we have TIE/sh in the form of the Shuttle Bomber title, but not TIE/br).

A double-crew "Death Trooper Boarding Party" would be cool - make sure it's equip-able on the TIE shuttle, and you essentially have a TIE/br (and possibly another use for the Lambda?)

The TIE Reaper is the obvious 'new ship' to provide this in.

I'm less sure what I'd want to see it do: boarding large or epic ships is one thing, but using boarding parties against one-man snubfighters makes little sense.

100% agree with the addition of the Tie Reaper.

Probably not really something that's going to happen, but I'd like to see the TIE/br as a separate ship from the TIE/sh. Basically, although it looks the same, the TIE/br is a lot harder to destroy because it has two crew bays rather than one (people who watched TLJ will know why bomb-bays increase a craft's likelihood of blowing up). And that also gives it less attack. So I'd see it as being a TIE with a better dial and a statline of 1/3/8/0 and a team slot. Then it would have an ability to ensnare enemy ships at range 1. For example,

Stormtrooper Boarding Party

Team, cost 4. Imperial only.

Attack: (3 dice, range 1) Perform this attack against an ensnared enemy large or huge ship, even outside your arc. If this attack hits, assign a boarding token to the defender. If the defender has three or more boarding tokens, assign the Captured condition to it.

Net Cannon

Cannon, cost 2.

Attack: (3 dice, range 1-2) If this Attack hits, the defender recieves one damage and one snare token. Then cancel all dice results.

Net Turret

Modification, TIE Boarding Craft only. Cost 4

Action: ( 3 dice, range 1) Perform this Attack against an enemy ship, even outside your firing arc. If this Attack hits, the defender recieves one snare token. Then cancel all dice results.

Ensnared (reference card)

A small ship is ensnared if it has one or more snare tokens. A large or huge ship requires two or more snare tokens to become ensnared. An ensnared ship may not perform boost or barrel roll actions or 3, 4, or 5 speed maneuvers. At the end of the end phase, an ensnared ship may recieve a stress token to remove a snare token.

Captured (condition)

Treat your pilot score as 0. You may not use your Unique Pilot ability or the abilities of any Crew or Droid/SalvagedAstro upgrades. Your opponent controls this ship. This ship may target lock and attack any ship.

Some solid ideas here!

Death Trooper Boarding Party

Imperial only.

After you execute a maneuver that causes you to overlap a large, or a huge ship, you may discard this card to choose and discard 1 of that ship's upgrade cards.

1 point, 2 crew slots

Reaper, because we need more crew. It needs green turns, boost and 2 agility with double crew slot.

Hunter, because it's cool. It needs to be affordable.

Scout, so we get a cheap support ship and crew.

^This.

Make the TIE Hunter a step up from the TIE Interceptor.

TIE Avenger gets Bullseye Arc.

And the Clawcraft because it looks awesome.

Scum don't have a TIE yet, and while some folks have suggested a mining guild TIE, how about something wild I saw suggested in another thread: IG-1000.

It looks like a shoe with TIE panels on it.

I can see it. It's certainly an 80s cartoony design. But I bet someone who has a good sense of design could make it a better. Something of the cockpit of a Gunboat, and wings somewhere between a TIE Interceptor or TIE Aggressor.

Personally, I don’t like the design but once it’s in the game it’d probably grow on me. However, don’t we already have a cheap support ship?

I would actually argue in favor of repaints of old TIEs that don't have many pilots yet, and especially those that aren't really competitive.

No support abilities, just crew slots. It's not the same

Yeah, the TIE/sh is the poor-man's Shuttle, used by low-ranking Imperials. Its canonical appearance is that Captain Needa had to use one (all the other officers in the movies had Lambdas).

As happy as I am that it's in the game, we need to stop using the TIE/sh's existence to deny the TIE/br and the TIE/scout their rightful place.

FTFY.

If it's Star Wars, it fits in the game.

I would much prefer a box with fixes for the venerable TIE Fighter and forgetable Punisher.

New models can wait a bit.

I think we've pretty well hit the end of the road for the TIE-series. There are a few remaining chassis that aren't toad-feces, visually, but it's not clear they have an in-game role to fill. I think the fact that we just finally got the Gunboat supports this even more...

So I'll take the unpopular stance: No more TIEs, please.

Ahhh... So you mean something like co-ordinate and not support crew. Maybe something that “paints” targets for other ships? That would be interesting and scouty.

See above.

Like the TIE/ag, some of these can be used to port over a mechanic (bullseye TIE Avenger) to improve an existing TIE concept (TIE Hunter vis-a-vis the Squint).

All for the Blastboat as an option. . .

OTOH, if you are serious that there are no more room for TIE variants in the game, well then:

1) Tie Reaper for pure sexiness

2) Tie Lancet for lack of pure sexiness, but with bullseye fireing arc.

3) Tie scout for searching for more sexy Ties!

The avenger cause my gunboats feel lonely without their 90s escort. Give it regen or bullseye or just a an interceptor that's more "worth it"

^----THIS. 110%

I want the current Ties to be good

The only one I want is the Hunter but as others have expressed I’d rather have them fix the existing ones and release all the TIEs in navy blue (I want an Advanced Prototype to match the rest of the fleet.
