Exactly.
I was trying to figure out why Brian Daley wrote photon torpedoes in the radio play which came out a few years after the movie.

I'm a big fan of the Mon Cal designs, even the Scythe from Star Wars Legacy.
Wasn't it said somewhere in the EU that the Mon Cals only joined the rebel alliance between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back? That's contradicted by the X-Wing computer game series, but those types of discrepancies are unavoidable. The X-Wing and Tie Fighter strategy guides do state that the Mon Cal Star Cruisers are the only things the rebels have that can even play in the same league as the Star Destroyers.I'm a big fan of the Mon Cal designs, even the Scythe from Star Wars Legacy.
For some reason, I thought the Mon Cals were the only ones in the Rebellion that had anything like rral capital ships that could go toe-to-toe with the Empire.
Slick Starfleet look--clean uniforms--didn't look slapped together. As if the Mon Cals were new to the scene
Just to start things off, what is your favourite ship or even ships in the Star Wars Saga?
I can't say that it's at the top of my whole list (say whatever else you want, but the Empire had styleThe Snowspeeder. There's just something perfect about it as a fighter that one-ups any of the other Rebel or Imperial ships.
[Star Wars RPG Player] Actually, they're blaster cannons, and the TIE/In has SIX. (Two on the bottom fore of the cockpit area, four on wingtips.) Turbolasers are cap ship weapons [/nerd]Absolute favorite? The Twin Ion Engine Interceptor:

It's like the Empire said: "You guys think X-Wings are hot shit? Well here's a TIE fighter with four turbolasers! How do you like that shit?"![]()
Unless I'm mistaken, the only *canonical* source left with information about the TIE/In is Return of the Jedi itself. And it depicts the TIE/in as firing from all six of the points I specified.[Star Wars RPG Player] Actually, they're blaster cannons, and the TIE/In has SIX.

Those informations are not absolute and change at will of the powers that be (I do remenber the times, when the SSD was 5 miles long and the short while when it was 8 miles long). The old RPG by West End Games describes the Interceptor with four laser cannons but i do remenber seeing the guns described as blasters in a different source (although i'm not sure where).
The model itself has ten gunports, there are two at the center of the cut-out section of each wing.

I understand where you're coming from, believe me, but ya done been Disneyed.![]()

The designations are lowercase, its not TIE/In (uppercase i, lowercase N), it's TIE/ln (lowercase L, lowercase N), TIE/rc, TIE/fc and TIE/gt (the precedessor to the bomber - hexagonal wings and a single pod with the bomb bay behind the pilot).

Yeah, well, whatever. It's been a while since I've roleplayed, and almost a year since I've read a book of any kind thanks to fading eyes. Thank goodness I can turn the font here up.
But my information about what the TIE Interceptor is shown doing in ROTJ is correct, anyway. :P
IIRC those things in the wing cut-outs are targeting sensors, not guns.The model itself has ten gunports, there are two at the center of the cut-out section of each wing.
Actually, TIE/In is the standard Imperial TIE Fighter, which is different from the TIE INT.
You have TIE/In (Standard fighter), TIE/Rc (Reconnaissance fighter), and TIE/Fc (fire control fighter for artillery and long range space strikes until the TIE Bomber came along)
And as I understand it, the TIE's as seen in TFA are called TIE/Fo (First Order)

I understand that when Imperial personnel want to record shows and watch them later, they use a TIE/Vo....![]()
