What is your favorite TIE-type, either from canon or EU and why?
Mine is the TIE Defender, since it's fast, packs a punch and you won't get you ass blow off in it.

TIE Droid. I like its design.

Cause it's classic, man.
I prefer the Interceptor, though. It's got a good level of sleekness and imposing profile.

The TIE-Defender.
Looks like Escher was let into starship design.

The Defender is more powerful, but I like the shape of the Interceptor much much more.

MC Escher was a Dutch illustrator who's famous for making drawings and woodcuts that put a bend on perspective.

TIE-interceptor. Defender was always a wanking piece of shit IMHO. Interceptor is a good balance between the goofy TIE-ln and the more advanced designs.

Defender -> Interceptor

LOL Someone asks what TIE people like, so everyone picks the 'ludicrously powerful TIE that represents the antithesis of the whole concept of TIEs'. Thats great
I'd have to go Interceptors. Armed to the teeth, fast, can doubtless buy twenty for the cost of a Defender.

TIE Interceptor, cool design and fun memories of beating the hell out of X-wings in it on X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.

Seriously, I quite liked that (IIRC) TIE-Interceptor-with-Missile-Pods prototype design from X-Wing Alliance. If you could make redesign the Interceptor line with detactable missile pods, I think it would be quite a nice compromise between an Interceptor and Missle Boats (the supposed bane of TIE Defenders).

TIE V-38
EDIT:
I'm quite confused between V-38 and Phantom. I think the correct designation is
TIE Panthom.
Here's the pics. If there's anything looks cooler than TIE Interceptor, TIE Panthom is
definitely one.

Its fast, deadly and it looks badass

I like the Interceptor and Vader's prototype, or the TIE Avenger. The Defender is ok, but I didn't like the look of it compared to the above two. The Avenger is my favourite though, due to the hyperdrive and shield combo.

TIE Defender without question for obvious reasons, however, I'd go for a shielded Interceptor as well. Vaders Prototype with its hyperdrive and shields is also quite appealing.

The Avenger.
Better looking than the Interceptor, not as ugly as the Defender, and still capable of going toe-to-toe with it. Besides, the introduction of hyperdrive was a very welcome addition.

TIE Interceptor, it's just the best looking craft of the TIE fighter family.
