Hey, remember the X-Wing series of video games from the 90s? I didn't, but while trawling Wookieepedia searching for TIE fighter variants to homebrew, I came across the TIE experimental line, which was essentially supposed be a series of droid TIE fighters. I immediately knew this was to be my next project. Statlines are of the following form [Pilot Skill, Attack, Energy, Agility, Shields, Hull]

TIE/M1 - TIE Bizarro [5, n/a, 2, 3, 0, 3] {Hardpoint} (Evade, Target Lock, Boost, Barrel Roll). -Title Hard Target: TIE/M1 only. Whenever you roll evade dice, you may reroll any focuses or blanks you get.

TIE/M2 - TIE BigGun [5, 5, 3, 3, 1, 3] {} (Evade, Barrel Roll, Mobile Firing Arc) -Title Linked Turbolaser Cannons: TIE/M2 Only. You may spend energy to incease the number of red dice rolled at a 1-1 ratio. If you do this, you recieve a weapons disabled token that lasts unil the next turn

TIE/M3 - TIE Warhead [5, n/a, n/a, 3, 1, 3] {2x Missile} (Target Lock, Reload, Barrel Roll, Boost) -Title Compressed Missile Batteries: TIE/M3 Only. The reload action does not give you a weapons disabled token.

TIE/M4 - TIE Bomb [5, n/a, n/a, 3, n/a, 1] {} (Boost, Barrel Roll, Evade) -Title Explosive Payload: TIE/M4 Only. The first time this ship makes contact with an enemy ship, it detonates. Detonation: The target must roll 3 attack dice and suffer all hits and crits as critical damage. All ships at range 1 must roll 1 attack die and suffer any hits or crits as critical damage. Then discard this fighter. If this ship is through any other means, all ships at range 1 roll 2 dice and suffer any damage.

TIE/M5 - TIE Boost [5, 2, 2, n/a, 3] {} (Boost, Barrel Roll, SLAM, Evade) -Title Booster Engine: TIE/M5 Only. When you SLAM, your manuver may be of any speed equal to your current speed or less. In addition, you may "spend" speed to change your direction. (i.e. Perform a speed 3 right bank, then SLAM for a speed 2 straight or right turn, or speed 1 left bank) You may also pay 2 energy to SLAM a second time.

Beta-class ETR-3 Escort Transport [4, 3, n/a, 8, 6] {Elite (sometimes), Cannon, 2x Crew, System, Team, Torpedo} (Focus, Target Lock, Coordinate)

Title TIE Experimental Prototype: TIE/M Only. You gain the Focus Action. You must be deployed with a friendly Beta-Class ETR-3 Escort Transport. If it is ever destroyed, your pilot skill becomes 1 and you may not perform actions (exception: the TIE/M3 may still aquire a target lock)
