TIE Hunter

Images

The TIE Hunter was one of several starfighter models developed by the Empire in their attempts to catch up to the individually superior Alliance front-line units. It's roughly comparable to the TIE Avenger, with minor weaknesses in durability and weapons capacity. Like its contemporaries - the Avenger and Defender - the Hunter did enter limited production but never in sufficient numbers or in enough time to make a real difference prior to Endor. TIE Hunters would subsequently be found scattered across the galaxy in dwindling numbers in the service of the Imperial Remnant or various warlords.

However, one interesting variant did enter service with the Empire in an even more specialized capacity as a support fighter for the Imperial Storm Commandos. Imperial High Command wanted a stealth multi-role platform that could provide air cover and special operations support for deployed groups of storm commandos and, of the extant prototypes, the Hunter proved best suited to the intended modifications. Designated the Hunter-S, this variant is equipped with stealth upgrades and an expanded ordnance delivery capability. It sacrifices much of its combat radius to achieve this, but the vast majority of Storm Commando operations are deployed from carrier vessels loitering just outside of the targeted systems, so range is rarely a factor.

So, at long last, here are my stats for the MAVr-A7 Broadsword. I decided to incorporate both Fractal's original version and my own modified version (with the capacitor drum removed from the rear), as well as inventing a reason why both models can be found in the SWU.

Broadsword-Series Medium Assault Vehicle

Images

The Broadsword is the Imperial Army's primary medium-duty armored assault vehicle, and forms the backbone of the Army's Mobile Command. The primary model is configured as a multi-role combat vehicle, mounting a mix of heavy and light weapons, along with a small troop bay. Several support variants also exist. The Broadsword is somewhat comparable to the KAAC Freerunner, as the two vehicles were actually competing designs for the Imperial Army's MAV replacement program. The Broadsword won out, but the two vehicles now compete in combat, as most of the Freerunner models were snapped up by the Alliance when KAAC went bankrupt.

The Broadsword has gone through at least one major design change since its inception. The original model included a very prominent energy capacitor drum mounted on the rear deck behind the turret. While the capacitor is an essential piece of equipment for powering the vehicle's heavy laser cannon, it badly obstructs the field of fire in the aft arc. At the time, it was assumed that Broadswords would always operate in teams, and that multiple vehicles would work together to cover each other's blind spots. In practice, however, this wasn't always a viable option, especially in close quarters. Furthermore, the capacitor provided an excellent aiming point for Alliance heavy weapon teams firing from concealed positions on the flanks and rear of Broadsword units, and damage to the capacitor was found to also disrupt systems throughout the rest of the vehicle. As such, the Broadsword redesigned, replacing the main laser cannon with a somewhat lighter version that utilized smaller capacitors that could be mounted internally (at the cost of 40% of the passenger capacity).

For a while, I wasn't even planning on doing this one, but then YouTube randomly offered one of Fractal's video clips on the thrust vectoring system as a suggestion, and for whatever reason, it sparked something.

I haven't put a lot of thought into the background for this, but conceptually, I picture it as a contemporary of the Avenger, Defender, Mangler and Scimitar, with a more balanced offense/defense capability. It's able to mix it up with other starfighters, but it is also ideally suited to cover bomber formations by fending off starfighter attacks from the rear fire arc. Crew-wise, the pilot controls the front auto-blasters while the gunner in the rear cockpit controls the dual laser cannon

Special Equipment: Vectored Thrust System
The Whirlwind's wing mounted engines can swivel independently of each other, up to 90 degrees up or down. This allows the Whirlwind to make sudden maneuvers entirely out of proportion to a vehicle of its size. In game terms, the pilot must declare at the beginning of the round whether or not he is using the Vector Thrust. When engaged, the Whirlwind's performance is modified as follows:

Maneuverability:

Space:

Atmosphere:

However, the system can be somewhat finicky, particularly in combat. If the ship is damaged while the Vector Thrust is active, the system can jam in place. Use the following procedure:

After a brief conversation with Fractalsponge, I decided to take some liberties with this design. His version has most of the missile launchers angled to the rear, but he did confirm that they could be reversed to angle forward, much like the launchers on the Scimitar, although it would cost some ordnance capacity. Since my take is that warhead launchers and launch tubes provide an initial "kick" at launch, it made more sense for the launchers to be angled forward, and thus the stat is written along those lines.

TIE Demolisher

Special: The Demolisher's laser cannon can be angled down for strafing runs against ground targets. This adds 1D to Fire Control against ground targets, and reduces Fire Control by 1D against aerial targets. Switching between the two modes requires a standard action for MAP purposes. In addition, if the Scimitar is flying "over" a space target, such as a space station or enemy capital ship, they can treat it as a ground target.

When WEG originally statted the Howlrunner, they specifically didn't give it a hyperdrive, on the basis that it was an Imperial fighter. Based on the brief look it got in the opening pages of the first Dark Empire comic, this wasn't a problem. Of course, then Dark Horse turned right around and, in the first pages of Dark Empire 2, an I-7 is shown coming out of hyperspace, and the canon on this ship has been muddled ever since. The official explanation is that the stock Howlrunner can be "upgraded" with a hyperdrive, but no information is given on how this is done, or what the fighter loses performance-wise in the process.

Fractal did his version of the Howlrunner a while back and gave this ship the makeover it deserved. I've been wanting to write up stats for it ever since, but couldn't quite resolve how to write up the two different version: one with a hyperdrive and one without. Until a simple solution recently occurred to me: WEG was wrong, and the I-7 always had a hyperdrive, just like its Seinar contemporaries, the TIE Avenger and TIE Defender. Also, based on discussions in the Comments section over on Fractal's page, I decided to give the ship two different energy cannon, with heavy lasers for taking on tougher, but less maneuverable targets, and auto-blasters for taking on smaller, more elusive things like missiles and light starfighters. Also worth noting that, on Fractal's model, the wings hinge up for landing (and for compact storage in a hangar bay). Enjoy.

First off, in regards to the recently displayed TIE variants, the guns are pretty prevalent. Maybe I'm picky or nostalgic, but I'm used to the guns not being so prominent or on display. As if they're hidden within the hull with only the beam emitters being present. Think about the guns on the TIE/ln fighter, TIE/sa bomber, and TIE/in interceptor. You don't see a laser gun/turret on the hull like you do in your recently displayed TIE variants.

Second, where in the world do you get such high quality images? I mean what program do you use or run. The closest thing I can think of is the Metastream program/graphic/technology that was used in the old Freespace 2 video game. In the months leading up to the release of the game, they posted some visuals of the new fighters and bombers the player could fly in the game. But to properly view them and even use the mouse to turn the craft around so you could see it from all angles, you needed the Metastream.

The I-7 Howlrunner is vaguely reminiscent of the Thunderfighters. I think I like the Buck Rogers ship better, but I have a lot more nostalgia for Buck Rogers than Dark Empire.
