Ok now I will compare ships. ARCs have Firepower and Shelding but Ties have Speed and power in numbers. But there is always the V-Wings. They have speed with the adition of 4 lazer cannons. I can see why keeping ARCs may be costly but i think the V-Wing would have been a better alternative to normal ties. Now for Tie Interceptors. They had the speed and power the V-Wings have why not keep those 2 ships? I think the reason the alliance won was because they had such relaiable fighter craft. well thanks for your time.
