Available craft to fly are seven starfighters. Like the films, the player initially pilots craft such as the TIE Fighter, TIE/sa bomber, and TIE/IN interceptor, all of which lack shields and a hyperdrive. However, there are few missions where the player is part of swarms of fragile craft conducting near suicidal assaults (as what the canonical Imperial Navy would do).

As the TIE Avenger, TIE Defender, and Missile Boat far exceeded the capabilities of existing starfighters, later iterations of the X-Wing series either toned them down or made them unavailable.
Shields of capital ships and space stations will not regenerate once depleted. As well, capital ships such as Star Destroyers and Mon Calamari cruisers feature far less weaponry than their official sourcebook statistics. Consequently, they are not as much of a threat (if a player "surgically" takes out all their weapons effectively rendering it defenceless, and/or finds a blind spot by parking just behind the capital ship's engines), though it still requires much ordnance to destroy them. This was a design compromise reflecting the limitations of the game engine at the time - since the targeting and combat AI of each turret on a starship used almost as many resources as a single starfighter, the presence of a single Star Destroyer would count almost as much as an entire squadron of fighters.
The Collector's Edition featured a completely redone introduction cutscene, all of it was fully rendered. There is now a Super Star Destroyer and a Nebulon-B frigate alongside the many Imperial Star Destroyers. During the assault on the Rebel platform, the Imperials are attacking with TIE Bombers instead of just TIE Interceptors, making the assault more realistic as starfighters' laser cannons would have been unable to do significant damage to a large space station. However the kind of bombs they use to bombard the facility, do not appear in-game.
Rogue Leader looked astonishing at the time, and the graphics still look pretty special today. Battles were frantic and exciting, none more so than the climactic Battle of Endor with what felt like a million TIE fighters buzzing around you. A blast from start to finish.
Star Wars: TIE Fighter, a 1994 space flight simulator/space combat computer game, is the sequel to Star Wars: X-Wing. It places the player in the role of an Imperial starfighter pilot during events that occur between Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Laser cannons and ion cannons serve as short range weapons, damaging or disabling targets respectively. Some starfighters carry limited warheads for additional range/firepower. As with X-Wing, the player needs to balance power allocation between weapons, engines, and shields (when available); some craft also require the player to further balance power for a beam weapon. The player can also change the firing modes of his or her fighter's weapons (for example, having a pair of laser cannons fire together or alternately). If the ship possesses shields, the player chooses the shield balance between front and rear.
Hello,The two dos games I am having trouble with are Tie Fighter and X-wing (the star wars games). I have the x-wing and tie fighter 95 cds, but I want to play them on dosbox because I have a Mac and no joystick (I hear the dos versions don't need joysticks... at least for tie fighter) 2ff7e9595c
