The TIE Fighters central two lasers were perfect. And the way the game was setup, basically the more weapons you had, the slower their fire rate actually was, so two lasers meant you fired as much as with four lasers. The advantage of the 4 Lasers were more energy reserves, so you could keep shooting more often.The Missile Boat was particularly ridiclous, it had only a single laser (plus up to 80 concussion missiles or 40 concussio missiles and 30 proton torpedoes or combinations liek that), and that fired rapidly fast. But you'd weapon banks dried out quickly.[/TIE Fighter nostalgia]</blockquote>
