This is the Conversation Forum for Star Wars - Starfighters of the Rebel Alliance << The Star Wars Alphabet Project Tie-Fighter >> Subject: I was under the impression that the Headhunter had some major drawbacks Posted Dec 20, 2003 by Cadmus   Posting 1 In it's favour it was a much less expensive craft than the X-Wing, and was probably more reliable. Making it good to keep on hand if needs be. But I have been led to believe that the sheilds were significantly thinner than those on the X-Wing, as was the armour, as one journalist put it "Turns into scrap upon colliding with a fart". Am I mistaken?

The z-95 is one of those vessels that were sent out in mass payloads. Quantity vs. Quality are the prime benefits of this vessel... because they were used so often and produced so readily, there are a number that still existed when the x-wing took over as "superiority fighter" The fact that they can (and often are) taken out by a linked cannon Tie Interceptor shows that the technology in the Star Wars universe is indeed evolving. I.E. a single Missle Boat (from the Tie Fighter expansion pack) could easily take out about 100 of these pesky fighters, shows: 1) progress was made to improve the design, thereby removing any "inferiority" the ships possessed, and 2) I am quite the geek.
