Star Wars/TIE Fighter

The standard Imperial? starfighter. They are seen in massive numbers throughout the main trilogy. Whilst maneoverable, their sheilds appear to be minimal and many of their pilots poorly trained and thus easy targets for the Rebel X-wing fighters.

In the X-Wing/TIE-Fighter computer game series, the TIE fighter is not equipped with rechargable shields posessed by rebel craft and other Imperial fighters. Whilst dangerous in large numbers, one on one they are easy pickings for other craft to the point where few scenarios in the games call for a player-controlled TIE Fighter to go up against modern Rebel craft.
