Playing Through Space Gaming's Past, Present and Future
After a short break, I return to TIE Fighter with new knowledge, so let’s see how I fare. ;) Enjoy!

You’re shaking more of the rust off with each mission! If you’d finished off the cruiser before going after the transports you might have pulled through. Those things pump out a lot of turbolaser fire.
Yeah, I feel like this is a journey we’re taking together. ;) I’ll give that a shot next time!
Was fun to watch!
And I have to agree, finish off the cruiser ASAP… I’d forgotten how difficult these missions were. I seem to remember the assault gunboat as being a bit more powerful than that. Also don’t you have ion cannons too? don’t they rip apart shields really quickly? So maybe a shot or two of ion to strip shields from your enemey then finish them off with lasers?
Yeah, I’ll give that a shot next time. Sadly I dunno if I have the time to be switching cannons while trying to shoot down A-Wings, but I’ll give it a whirl. :)
If I remember right the Ion cannons have a much shorter effective range, so it’s best to switch to those about the same time you’re jamming down the Match-Speed key. My biggest issue was always accidentally ramming whatever I managed to disable because I was following too close/flying too fast.
Yeah, I’m constantly mashing the match-speed button so I don’t ram into things.
Man, whatever cold medicine you were on when you recorded this must’ve been good. I want some!
Hahhahahaha
