If you guys do add it in could you give some TIE's hard-points? ^_^;; it'd only be fair.

The torps were pre-programmed. Thats why they had to be launched at a set distance.

So then fighters don't have to go straight towards a Capitol ships main fire power to fire their payloads. They could come in at an angle and allow them to lock on and guide themselves in.

If anything needs a suite of homing missiles, it's the TIE Bomber. I mean, the Y-wing gets a gunner, the B-wing just kicks pie, and the TIE bomber gets a whole bunch of weapons but skank amounts of armor to ensure their delivery. I say give them like 12 conc missiles that lock on to fighters. Also, make their proton torpedoes (not bombs) lock on to capital ships (save for Gallofree transports). I mean, lore-speaking, TIE Bombers had highly specialized targeting systems that allowed them to pinpoint strikes on capital ships. Might as well ensure an impact if close enough.

If we are too add hioming missiles to X-wings the missiles would be incredibly easy to avoid.

Homing Torpedoes were never used in the movies against TIEs and only after the Xwing games did the idea of a homing anti-fighter torpedo emerge. If this were a game where you were always the rebels fighting the good fight against overwhelming numbers of TIEs then sure allow lock on... the case is not like that and I can see alot of people complaining about the underpowered missileless TIE's if this were to happen. Superior manuverability helps only in fighter on fighter action NOT missile on fighter action.

Well, it sure bloody well sucks against capital ships. Is it supposed to just fly around and look pretty?

With a fair amount of evasion a TIE should be able to avoid a locked torpedo, and you only get six of them.

The X-wing wasn't meant to deal head on with TIE's, thats the A-wing's job, deal with it.
