surprise if you didn’t know already both are dang good.
🤨 I think you missed the gist of them wanting decent options to build lists that do not include Jedi.
InFlight Report News! New Ships!

aren't we talking about Eta2s not being 3 dice primaries? those are all jedis anyway. Or is this about the Nimbus?
Sinker swarm is a darn good list without Jedi. Mix of Ric and N1s and Arcs and Ys are also possible lists without Jedi
******, it's been a long time, but finally, a new Imperial TIE for me to get.
Did anyone else notice that Hondo crew did not have any faction limitations?

Yep. Probably going to be expensive because of that.

As expected.

Now if they just release the TIE Command Shuttle...
(It's a shame the TIE Avenger and TIE Hunter didn't make it, though)

Never say never! They may still show up somewhere...
TIE Hunter can go to ****, one of the worst looking TIEs.
But the TIE Avenger would be really nice, would offer a TIE Silencer type for the Empire. There is perhaps a little overlap with the TIE Defender and X1, but i feel overlap is OK if it allows for cool ships.
Do we really still think we'll get Legends ships?

Plenty of legends stuff gets added back into Canon, so it's not completly out of the question. Although I am not expecting these to come. I would certainly love to get the TIE Avenger.
Considering we haven't seen any Legends ships outside of reprints since 2nd edition started, I'm not holding my breath. But I still want them.

The TIE Droid is now Canon, for whatever that's worth. Not sure how you'd price a thing like that though, just a worse Vulture basically...

See, TIE Hunter and TIE Avenger DO have some hope of being canonized.

Make it 2/3/3. No networked calc, but it gets the evade action. Based on how they flew in rogue squadron, I'd give it a vulture dial, except no 3-banks or k-turns at all, and the red 2-talons become white 1-talons.

The thing is... you now have an 18-ish-point fighter? That's a bit crazy in a faction that has access to Sloane...

Welp, that Wookipedia rabbit hole informed me Jaxxon is now cannon again as well.
Edit: Rabbit hole, heh!

I like the idea of it essentially being a TIE/ln with a droid dial and calc. To @ClassicalMoser 's point though, you almost have to give it something more to drive it up to the cost of an Academy Pilot. Barrel roll linked into cal might do it, but it might be too good with a blue hard 2. However, that might be dialed back by lacking Networked Calcs. But the Empire does have Howl.

Maybe have the ship ability grant it a calc token after a blue maneuver in addition to the one gainable by performing an action (swapping focus to calc on the action bar is the default for droids)? I can also see them upping the hull to 4. As for dial maybe move the K-Turn and Tallons on the Vulture's dial to higher speeds (so 2K and Tallon 3)?

I like all of it. The hull I could give or take, but the rest seems great.

It's a reference to their Legends incarnation. The Imps didn't have to take a pilot into account so were able to up armor the TIE ball cockpit and supports.

The YT-2000 has also been canon for awhile now.

Well, it'd potentially have 3 agility, which isn't bad.
I'd go 2/3/3, with Calc, Evade, Roll. Networked Calculations ship ability. Hard 2s become blue, but 2 Banks become white. Perhaps boring, but with just that ship ability, I might even cost it more than a TIE/ln.

If you do this, you create the same situation as CIS; where the ships are only good in masses of their own numbers and mixing them into archetypes with other ships is actively self defeating.
Doesn't make sense for a ship in the Empire faction.

Could borrow the HMP ship ability or something like it. Networked Aim, I squint. You can't spend a lock you have on the target, but can reroll 1 die per friendly lock on that ship. There might be some range or such restrictions, but that might work. There's a decent number of Impeiral ships who love to take-and-hold locks, like the x1 or v1 or Gunboat. Combos well with Jendon or Tarkin.
That feels kind of right, thematically... the Drone TIE thematically might just chase down and shoot whatever the other ships in the squad are telling it to shoot. Not fully independent, they just follow the leader.
As a filler, two or three of these would be punchy little droids, and they'd love to work along side Vader and Fifth Brother. However, you couldn't really do a full squad of them, since then they'd just be worse TIEs.
I want to keep the same statline as the classic TIE, though, only swap the 2 hards/banks on the dial, and maybe keep the actions (except focus).
