TIE Scouts - what are they good for?

[Valter]

Tie scouts are very useful for finding enemy marauder cruisers that are hiding around the map or asteroid fields. Also Tie scouts are better dog fighters than Tie fighters because of their shield generators.

...wel....the sensor ping skill is pretty much the only reason i use them...they should be tougher...

[Valter]

I think the sensor ping is the only reason anyone uses them.

 

There is no reason to make them tougher because in the expansion the Tie scouts will most likely be replaced altogether by the mighty Tie Defender and stealthy Tie Phantom.

I always carry one or two squadrons in my fleet that has the Death Star II in it, then I use the sensor ping to destroy the enemy space station or capital ship with the super laser.

online, the tie scout is very useful for spotting and setting up a surprise bomber strike on their station

Tie scouts are very useful for planning your strategy and keep an eye for enemy fighters, as fighters always get destroyed before they even get to reveal anything.

 

and scout troopers are very good for damaging enemy artilery and other units and buildings
