-- Mag-pulse missiles are designed to take out a starship shields. Treat as an ionization attack with a result of heavy damage or higher as shields blown.

Capsule: The First Order's feared Special Forces have considerable resources at thier disposal. These include a specialized model of TIE fighter that packs additional armament into a craft designed for long-range operations way from a base or command ship. Special Forces TIEs are two-person fighters that carry a hyperdrive and deflector shields, as well as banks of high-yield deuterium cells that provide additional power to the engines, weapons, or shields and can be recharged from the TIE's solar panels. The TIE/sf's heavy weaponry and improved defensive capabilities make it a versatile attack ship suited to a range of mission profiles, from reconnaissance to combat operations.

The Special Forces TIE's deuterium cells drive a weapons package far more powerful than that of a TIE/fo. The TIE/sf's primary weapons are its front-facing laser cannons, but a heavy weapon turret and warhead launcher gives it a 360-degree field of fire and the ability to deliver specialized ordnance. The pilot can fire all weapons, but the turret is ideally controlled by the TIE/sf's rear-facing gunner.

Where the TIE/fo uses a single ion reactor aftof the pilot's seat, the TIE/sf derives from twin reactors set on either side of the command pod. The TIE/sf's additional armament, shield generators, and power-cell banks create more heat than the craft can dissipate, a problem at Sienar-Jaemus have attempteed to solve with an experimental ion-flux cooling system. All of these systems make the TIE/sf substantially heavier than a standard TIE, and the pylons between the command pod and wings have been reinforced with layers of alloy bracing.

I could've sworn that Poe listed off more weapons than that when he was giving Fin the brief run-down on the ship's systems. Is this based on the Visual Dictionary?

He also listed something called "mag-pulse."

I'm going to see it again on Christmas day; I'll pay close attention at that point to see if I missed anything...

I'll take your word for it.

Hope you would as that is the direct quote in its entirety from the movie =)

Apologies for necroing this thread, but I was copying this down for my own writeup and I noticed that the firing arc of the turret can't be the full 360 degrees...as that would shoot directly into the ship's own TIE panels. So effectively, this ship only has the front and rear firing arcs.

This also reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when Indy and his dad are in that biplane being chased by German fighters and Henry has an Oh Crap moment when he winds up shooting their own tail off.

Quote:
INDY: Are we hit?
HENRY: More or less. Son, I'm sorry...they got us.


Yeah, that's the sort of thing you want to avoid if you're only a few hundred feet up in the air, never mind outside of an atmosphere.

Well good, safe engineering design would have a cut out to prevent the guns from firing when they are aimed at the ship. Since we are talking about an Imperial design (the guys who forget to put handrails over bottomless pits and armored baffles over thermal exhaust ports) I think the pilot better watch out for those panels.

Hey that's a great 1 on the Wild Die result. Twisted Evil
