I note that you have given the TIE interceptor shields. As far as I am aware this doesn't fit the official information that is given about them.

Unless you just decided it didn't make sense they didn't, which is obviously fine.

The only TIE's which have shield are the TIE/d Defender and the later models of the advanced series, the TIE/ad Avenger).

The TIE Advanced x1, Vader's personal ship, had shields (and a hyperdrive), but that was a limited production ship built to his preferred specifications.

I just watched the original movie (original theatrical release!) last night, and noted the x1 had four thrust nozzles on the back while the regular TIE had two. Does that actually make it a Quad Ion Engine craft, or just two engines with two thrust nozzles per engine (like how X-Wings have been described)?

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't XvT: BoP give TIE/in its shields in specific missions? I could be wrong. I'll take down the shields and give it something else.

I will be working on the TIE/ad and TIE/d in the future and will be adding shielding as appropriate.

By the way, I added myself to your forums. Got some real interesting mathematical questions for you regarding fighters and capital ships.

Check here. It says twin ion engines so it could account for only two engines. I don't know how canon Wookiepedia can be so I just sourced it.

I noticed. :)

Although GURPS Spaceships (or my modification) looks nice, escpecially if the players want to create their own ship), I prefer my old building rules. Just using the information on different sites such as Starwars.com, wookieepedia, and others and noting down the spacecrafts in the old way as in the Basic Set.

But is "twin ion engine" actually "twin (ion engine)" or "(twin ion) engine". In other words, could you have any number of engines that use whatever "twin ion" technology is?
