I’ve just finished combing through all the movies, and can you believe it, there’s virtually no footage of the A-Wing, Y-Wing or B-Wing firing any weapons! There is a single shot of an A-Wing firing two blasts a very long distance away from the camera, and that’s it! These blasts, btw, were “unlinked” (in EoC terms). Meaning, first one gun fired, and then the other.
The X-Wing has also been confirmed as only ever firing “unlinked”.
The Tie Bomber, of course, has only ever been seen “firing” bombs.
The Tie Interceptor, interestingly enough, is never actually seen to have blasts coming directly from it’s weapons. There are blasts that appear, usually when something is blocking the camera, and based on their trajectory they apparently come from Interceptors (also being green and in groups of four). But they’re also never seen to fire any weapons other than the four on the wing tips. And these always use the same “unlinked” firing method as the X-Wing. They also seem to have a single cycling rate somewhere between the regular Tie Fighter’s single-shot and rapid-fire rates (again, much like the X-Wing).
Soooo, my conclusion is; as long as we stay true to the few established weapons, we pretty much have a free hand in being creative for the rest.
Anybody want to input creative ideas for additional weapons? We’ve already got fighter mounted Ion Canons and the so-called energy bomb. Anything else?
