There are flight sims for all modern jets, yet most of them have a two-seater training variant.
That "side car" seems to me like it's just too small to house a human being- could it be some sort of targeting array? Some sort of support craft for when the capital ships' sensors cant work over distance in difficult "terrain"/ stellar phenomena, such as this nebula (?)?
So it's a gunpod.
Cheap cannon carrier? I wouldn't mind that.

So a System-Canon combo on a small ship?
We already have 2 canon focused small ships, none of them have a system slot.
It seems we also have a new cannon... Twin Laser Canon maybe?
Same as TLT, but it is in arc, and costs 4 points.
so it’s this, but done right.
maybe TIE Heavy.
Maybe this will use the bullseye arc?

I see your 3 dice, and I raise you 4.

I was hoping that was going to be the TIE Hunter. But now that's out.
I saw that sparkle of hope that some of you had for an imperial astromech
Lets hope that that day never comes, because that would make it too fair for Imperials. Let the bad guys suffer I say.
(I am for the empire not the rebels, dont hate, also I know that a certain person will do anything for that droid slot...)

Just give it a little more health and a turret
a cannon slot would also work.

The Movie isn't out yet...
For all we know, the gun pod could be a stromech operated.
Edited by Indy_comGotta be careful on how they do cannons at this point. Dash doesn't need to be any more of a **** than he already is.

but that would make the Pilot an astromech, so not a special new counterpart to Astromech and Unhinged Astromech...
Even so I doubt that is the case since the empire is all about cost effeciency and putting an astromech in all TIE's + more materials needed for the special pod = not very Imperial-like....

^ Exactly! Thank you!

But they use the same wings, same engines... they just swap out the middle.
It is efficient. More efficient than building totally different ships.

Gunner Astromech
? Points.
Astromech
Exhaust this card at any time to make an additional attack from your main arc.
(This also helps the x-wing, did a TIE move in front of you after you already activated? Exhaust astromech, fire away!)

Moreover, I didnt even mention the cost of producing a droid that is capable of piloting a TIE in the first place. The interior would have to be redone, the controls: out of the window and retrofitted.
Additionally this TIE = a totally different ship: It has that extra pod which screws with the original engine design and engine placement, the balance, the maneuverability, Atmospheric travel, speed, repulsor tech, tech in general, controls for whatever the heck that pod is supposed to do... Name it and it's bound to be slightly redesigned...

No imperial astromech-s please.
It would also turn Corran into a monster.

Further to my point I made earlier: Putting 2 astromechs in a new shuttle, with new design = not imperial-style.

Visual design changes with no reason are awful. Let's see how it works out.
