What does mass-producing something have anything to do with its quality?  Why didn't Incom mass produce N-1s?

 
Because the N-1's were made only by the Naboo. They were never meant to serve as serious fighters or take on battleships. They were designed to escort the Queen off-world on diplomatic missions. Given the fact that there was very little violence in that time, the N-1's adaquetly fulfilled their role. They didn't do so good when they had to engage real fighters supported by a real capital ship, because they were never designed for a conflict of that size.

Um your forgetting Admiral Daala...

They were all special exceptions though.. save Isard. There are Women in the Empire, they are just descriminated against.

Kinda like how the Milatary (US at least) is/used to be.



And for the rec, you have no comparison between the Nab Fighter and the X Wing other than a few poorly made games that were rushed mainly to promote the movie. Actually... IIRC the only direct control comparison is Rouge Squadron.

Besides, the N1 was a special ship in that and it makes sense that it was made to be better. I still think the X-Wing is better/not that bad of a ship.

The T-65 0wnz the N-1 and the TIE fighter. The T-65 features 4 laser cannons and 2 proton torpedo racks. And what does the N-1 have? Only 2 laser cannons and 2 torpedo racks. Not to mention the TIE. 2 laser cannons is the entire arnament, and it even lacks particle shielding!

Possibly. It is very old , especially in the Thrawn and NJO time period.. but not sure if it's that old. It'd make a lot of sense if we saw the headhunter me thinks :)

TIE is faster and more maneuverable.  Doesn't matter how many guns the X-wing has in front, it can't use them too well if the TIE is always behind them.  :D  Who needs shields if you're fast enough to not get hit?
It'd be cool to see a Headhunter, R-41, some of those older but familiar fighters in Ep III.  The Y needs some more screen time anyway, the only thing they did in ANH was get blown up :)

 
Like all things Imperial, TIE's greatest strength is in numbers. WHo cares if u can take out 10, they can replace them with 100 more.
