Well, the files attached should help.
What? Did you folks honestly forget that Black Aeronaut Technologies handles about half of the Warsies orders for TIE Fighters? Mainly because the TIE Fighters we build are relatively quirk-free.
Anyhow, as for making this fair, how about you tweak the pilot models to reflect that of a pilot that is very well aware of what their bird is capable of? I mean, seriously. Most of my pilots can fly circles around a green X-Wing jockey.... in a Dragonfly. (For you Warsies out there, that's like out-flying an X-Wing in a Headhunter.)
So yeah. Just change it up so the pilot model knows their bird and knows what they're up against. That will make things VERY interesting.
And oh, Anika? For added fun I've included models for the Dragonfly, the Albatross, the Peacemaker, as well as observed pilot data for all. I've even thrown in the BA-4 Astroliner, because escort missions where you keep getting ambushed and your VIP is a big, lumbering, defenseless giant are their own kind of fun.
Oh, and we're seeding in your torrent now - you should see a BIG difference in demand now that our Interwave Node is on the case. Send your love to Ruri - she never gets enough love as far as I'm concerned.
