Now, this is one of those rare occasions where I'm not sure of something. I may be right, I may be wrong, but I'm usually confident in my opinions. =P
What I'm not sure about is the nomenclature 'TIE/ln'. In TIE Fighter, it was 'TIE/In', I thought, and referred to the TIE Interceptor. But the Interceptor definitely did NOT have chin-mounted lasers, it had four wingtip lasers, one of its big improvements over the original TIE Deathtrap, aside from solar panels you could actually -see- past and improved maneuverability and speed. Are you referring to the basic TIE with 'TIE/ln'? And if so, what does 'ln' stand for?
