Hehe... Can I defect?

By SpectreSix, in X-Wing

I'm a Rebel pilot. X-wings, Y-wings, A-wings and even B-wings are my thing.

But today I saw that they released info on some of the Imperial Ace pilots, and my love for the TIE Interceptor is overpowering my love for the Rebellion. So... can I defect? I mean, is that a thing... defecting to the Empire? I mean, I've heard of pilots doing it the other way around.

We have Cookies.

Come to the dark side my son, we have the bad ass squints... and cookies.. lol.. I loved em before the Aces came out.. this just adds to the adoration of them.. lol

I mean, I love my A-wings, but there's something to the TIE Interceptor I love that I can't put my finger on.

Yup.. the word is... Sexy.. haha.. something about those squints..

That would be the extra attack die. :D

And you have to admit, it looks way cooler too. :)

There will be cake

The cake is a lie

Oh man, another rebel defector. We are fast running out of scum. Lol

I defected for the Shuttle, so yes, you totally can defect. :)

If you ever played the X-wing games, you'd be hard pressed not to fall in love with the Interceptor. Even shooting at them was fun!

Too bad they're either too expensive or not available here in the UK at the moment.

Interceptors are the ninja assassins of Star Wars dogfighting. Sneak in close to your enemies and slit their throats and then get away before they can catch you and you're golden. What's not to love? :)

Welcome... I see my compatriots have already spoken of the cake and cookies. They are not lies! You might just have to make them yourself sometimes (rations).

I see you are drawn to our clearly superior technology, sensible, sleek, and yes, sexy, styling. We also deal more in titles and honorifics than tacky and nonsensical nicknames. The rebel {scum} cannot match our insurance packages or retirement options.

Welcome to the Empire. Now get in that tie and help us put down the terrorist threat that shakes the foundation of our prosperity.

Embrace that anger, use your fear, channel your hatred; do not deny it. It will make you stronger and greater than you ever dreamed you could be.

Interceptors are nothing but firecrackers. Soon, they'll even be painted like them.

The bad guys are always cool, becuase it makes the good guys look better when they win.

:lol:

Joining the Empire isn't just a job ... it's an adventure.

And we do more by 9am than those Rebels do all day.

It will take resolve. 3 hull is hard to get used to after playing with B-wings.

Yeah, just ask any Academy Tie Pilot about his "retirement" options... That's how the recruiters get you. They have pictures of ISD's and Interceptors all over the walls, but when it comes down to it, your a cheap replaceable part in a cheap replaceable ship. Don't let the cookies fool you, kid. The empire only sees you as a number.

Lines have been drawn! :D

No, I love every ship in this game. Carry on.

This coming from the side of the Fence where some of your more celebrated eyeball pilots are named "Howlrunner" and "Mauler Mithel"? Yeah, "Dutch" Vander is sounding pretty dang good right about now.

Oh, and for the record, Turr Phenir sounds like Herp-a-Derp. Have fun taking your squints seriously now. >:3

(Seriously though: as a Rebel player I'm very attracted to flying an Interceptor squadron at some point when I can grab some. Being able to barrel roll or boost instead of having ships that have only one of those options by default is pretty sweet.)

Light and get away!

There is nothing wrong with defecting. When I bought my core set, I was fully committed to play rebel cuz I love the x-wing fighter. But after playing ONE game as the empire, I quickly changed sides. Makes sense too cuz I am a huge Darth Vader fan. I just seem to play better with imperial. So if you are really wanting to play imperial, I say go for it. Was gonna say join us we have cookies, but everyone else already did. But seriously, we do have cookies.....and maybe some cake too.

Join the Dark Side.

We have Cookies.

Stay on the Light Side.

We have Wookies.

The Dark Side has better theme music. ;)

And I'm primarily a Rebel player, but occasionally I will take an Imperial squad and have some fun. The TIE Interceptor is king of the battlefield in the hands of a skillful player, though it requires a good handle on maneuvering and when to use the boost to get out of the way or turn faster.

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb... =)
