As long as the public doesn't know about the Milemium Falcon smuggleing Lufthansa personnels from Frankfurt to the Deathstar everything is allright.

 

Ooops... :rolleyes:

What I want to know is: Since the TIE fighter is powered by SIE-TIE twin ion engines and not by any kind of internal combustion engine, what exactly is burning?

Power cells (batteries). Magnesium also burns.

Yeah, except magnesium burning looks nothing like this ;) This is definately some form of hydrocarbon combustion.

Also, the regular TIE is powered primarily by solar panels and has quite short range on batteries alone, so I really doubt there would be much fuel for a fire in those power cells :P

 

I say there's something very wrong with the DM here.

Wikipedia says it has twin ion engines, so I guess what we are see burning is the fuel from the axillary atmospheric engines.

No No, the intense heat from the friction caused the petroleum products in the asphalt to burn ;)

Guys, stop arguing, and just be thankful it wasn't a TIE Bomber.

 

When those things go down, you can see the explosion light-years away.

 

And if it had been a Sontaran scout ship, well, you can bet all the scientists nearby would go missing, and that's always annoying.

how about spanish shame or verguenza ajena for people with sahdenfreude

 

Not from me, if their own Schadenfreude is not enough for them, they can have Schadenfreude mit Eichenlaub, Schwerten und Brillanten...
