    This probably goes here: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/tie-fighters-in-the-st.50020713/
    (In before the thread merge) ;)

    To answer your question, yes, I hope we see interceptors. They were just so cool. And considering that they were supposed to be more expensive, there should be no problem with them being available in much smaller numbers. Then again, the TIE "Mark II" (see previous discussion in the linked thread) with lower turret and rear view slits etc may have taken the Interceptor's place as a complement to the standard TIE, though it's probably considered more of a heavy fighter.

    Maybe we can switch the title of the thread to "Technology we'd like to see" :). My main reasoning for wanting to see the Interceptor is because we never really saw it in action, so it would be nice to see a dog fight with saaaay, an A-WING.

    I'd like to see new TIEs, but if there are, hopefully the artists go with the "less is better approach". What I mean is, new TIEs don't simply have to just be more wings and more lasers (looking at you TIE Defender). Vader's TIE Advance was a good redesign without being too complex. Heck, a whole squad of Advance's would be rather imposing.

    I totally agree. I like the original TIE, Vader's TIE, and the Interceptors. Bombers were cool too, when shown in the limited numbers that they were shown in TESB. But that should be it... Defenders are just silly looking, IMO.

    I do like the new color schemes on TIEs that we're seeing in TFA, though.

    Star Destroyers are roughly 1/2 the size of the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship from Phantom Menace.

    ya, someone pointed that out earlier I think. I didn't realize that...or if I had, it was a fact I had forgotten over the years.

    I liked how practical the EU was, where the New Republic used StarDestroyers and TIE-craft as well Incom Starfighters. Whatever they can get there hands on that makes their fleet bigger and doesn't require new manufacturing.

    For me that would be an iconic character vehicle, say Kylo Ren's personal TIE Fighter.

    Nice. It would be cool to see a different variation of the TIE that isn't the standard, advanced, or interceptor... but not to many variants though.

    I'd love to see a Special Forces TIE with the Interceptor wings. Heck, even just an Interceptor in the FO black with white panels would be awesome looking.

    I do love how some color reversals and small additions can make the FO TIEs look cool and different enough. Take a light grey ship with black wing panels, and make the ship dark grey and the wing panels white. Then add a small section of red next to one side of the window. Done. :cool:
