Why no Tie Defender???

Completely agree, the defender would be cool, but how about A B and Y wings first?
The answer is because ships hasnt been a priority and they’re saddled with an awkward pilot to ship issue

It is difficult for me to understand why (thing I like) has yet to be introduced.

There must an explanation. I know for a fact that cg can instantly create infinite content, so why not (thing I like)?

/s

I'd definitely expect to see tie interceptor and bomber ahead of defender.

Because Palpatine diverted most of the Empire's resources to the Deathstar despite Thrawn's warning.

Because they hate ships, that’s why.

... Admiral Zaarin developed the TIE Defender and I won't hear anything else. Thrawn overthrew Zaarin's insurgency, captured the TD technology, and continued development of the program.
Yep.

I don't think they hate ships, more likely they created a flawed system and it took them too long to realize their mistake. Ships 2.0 were a band-aid on a broken leg, the whole system needs a complete overhaul. I don't blame them for being reluctant to entrench themselves deeper into this mess.

2 year gap in between capital ships.

149 toons....44 ships.

500 crystals for #1 in arena...400 crystals for #1 in ship arena

Ship excluded from most GA’s and all GAC’s.

Falcon meta going on 9 months.

GK’s ship locked behind a steep unlock


This looks like hate to me.

But whatever you hate about falcon meta the next one will be (not worse) but prob more painful :)

longer maybe
more RNG based with immunity with GK maybe
crazy revives and capital stunning GG

might be more fun might not.... does sound like battle time is going up no matter what... and frustration level might go through the roof ;)

Eh, non-canon.

Who shall pilot the Tie Defender? Has there ever been a famous Tie Defender pilot in either the real or the Disney timeline? I can't think of any. Maybe Vult Skerris from the tv show rebels? Baron Soontir Fel was more of a Tie Fighter pilot but I suppose they could use him for the defender....

But then, what about the Tie Interceptor? The Tie Avenger (Tie advanced production model), the Tie Phantom (with a cloaking shield from Star Wars Rebel Assault II), Tie Bomber, TIE Advanced v1 (used by the Inquisitors with folding wings), the Tie Striker (from Rogue One), First Order TIE Interceptor (the red one from Star Wars Resistance flown by Major baron Elrik Vonreg)...the list goes on and on....
