SHIP : Tie Fighter has 0 protection ?

Because Ties have no shields ... ;)

Yeah, TIE fighters never had shields or hyperdrives - there were just a LOT of them. Its supposed speed and maneuverability is reflected in the fact it can gain Foresight?

But since when the lore matter at all here ? Since when a Geonosian can tank 250 hit of lightsabers barehanded ?

Maybe it was indeed meant that way, but then explain this to me : why does the AI : Tie Fighter DO has Prot on the daily challenges ?

Maybe it's a TIE FO in the challenge (they have shields) or the AI ist cheating. xD

No, there is both in challenges, and both has prot (the Tie FO has prot for players too)

But that's the purpose of this thread, knowing if it is what the DEVS wanted or simply a bug

I'm quite sure it's designed this way on purpose. It also gets 30+% dodge with geared up tfp to make up for lack of shields.

because your TFP hasn't reached Gear VII yet

Well maybe then ... but it's surprising...

I have him gear X and still no protection, quite dumb if you ask me.. :|

Yeah, TIE Fighters get +evasion instead of protection. My TIE Pilot is only 4*, gear VII and still provides +15% evasion.

TIE Fighters can still get bonus protection from skills (like Jedi Consular's moves) even though they don't start with any; apparently the game keeps track of what their protection "would be" if they had some so that they can benefit from like, +25% protection or whatever.
