Wedge didn't get fried in any of the movies and he's not a force user
Besides, TIEs get wasted even quicker lol.
Yes, and this is kinda my point - in the movies there were loads of TIE FIGHTERS and EMPERIAL SHIPS (including a slightly large Death Star)
Are you really suggesting that you would have a playable game/mod if you were true to the movies/lore and stacked things in the EMPIRE's favour hoping that the FEWER REBEL players in the FEWER REEBEL ships (even if they are handmade) will succeed in a multi player gaming environment with the same chance the rebels had!?!?!?!
(we seem to agree that it was "the Force", the heroes, or Wedge that won the battles - how do you program this into a game?)
And to balance this are you really suggesting that you will have lots of easily destroyable TIE FIGHTERS - it would be great fun flying one of those and spend the whole game getting shot down and re-spawning, I wonder what team most people would go on! lol
In all seriousness, I know and appreciate that the FIRST STRIKE Team are giving the gameplay top billing and I think you are spot on in doing this
Don't be afraid to admit that you are "bending" lore to make a super playable, super fun game/mod - it is a good thing that you are
