I honestly get the confusion, it really requires a real lawyer-like look at the rules to see it the way the way me and that anon do. I do stand by a fly-casual mentality, but the implications of saying TIE/lns and TIE/fos is too huge for me to really ignore. Again though, because it does require a lawyer-like look at the rules, it really needs a FAQ.

Unfortunately, "ship type" isn't really a frequently used term so not many X-Wingers are familiar with (another reason why this should be FAQed), and were it to not show up in other spots in the rules, I would probably agree with the idea of mixing and matching the two TIE Fighters.

But because the rules say that the rules state that ships can only use dials of their "ship type", calling the TIE/ln and TIE/fo the same ship would result in TIE Fighters using TIE/fo dials, and I think anybody could agree that's just straight up wrong.
