Ouch, i didn't know much about any of the fighters, i just assumed that, if Vader had 20 more years he would have a better fighter, because of evolving technology, but if focally stated that Delta fighter is better, Ok then i agree, Anakin WINS, happy now. (I get the feeling that your in Dominatrix and related stuff)

No, because I never so much as stated who would win this match up; merely that Anakin's starfighter is far more exceptional.
Although, Anakin would more than likely win, anyways.

You know, I get that a lot, surprisingly.
Here's what the OS site says about Vader's TIE.
"Developed to Darth Vader's specifications, Sienar Fleet Systems constructed the TIE Advanced x1 as a predecessor to their later cutting edge fighters, the TIE Avenger and the TIE interceptor. Like the standard TIE fighter, the x1 prototype features powerful twin laser cannons and two solar gather panels that provide power to the ship's systems. Twin ion engines propel the craft at amazing speeds.
Unlike the standard TIE/ln starfighter, the x1 had a much more robust spaceframe, with reinforced durasteel-alloy hull, providing greater protection from enemy fire and stability during strenuous maneuvers. Also, abandoning previous Imperial design policies, considerable resources were spent to make the TIE Advanced hyperspace-capable, and the fighter was even equipped with deflector shields."
It doesn't show any comparisons to the Delta class, nor does it give specs on the ship. But one thing that is evident, is that it is superior to the regular TIE's.
Originally posted by darthsith19It's funny how being out of practice for Ben is no big deal, but for Vader (who was a prodigal pilot and natural beast at it) it is. You have no idea how much he flew. And you don't lose experience...ever. How much do you think he flew before he was the only human to be able to pilot a podracer? You ever hear that expression, "it's like riding a bike, you never forget." Its just like that. Add in the fact that he was THE BEST pilot, and him taking some time off doesn't seem that it would hinder his abilities too much. And when he was out pwning rebel pilots, that wasn't long before ESB.
Because he didn't have as much practice, so, naturally, his piloting reflexes would go down. It was said that they didn't decrease by the time of RODV, which was when he was still in practice, by ESB they'd have gone down since he rarely flew, that I know of. I may reconsider, if you can list several instances where he flew not long before ESB.
Originally posted by Apollo CloudSkills give way to ability and ability is a window to skills. Either way you slice it, he couldn't have decreased.
It doesn't make sense that his piloting skills would have remained as good, given that his force connection went down exponentially. His reflexes, and general precognition would have severely gone down. The quote is likely referring to his technical piloting ability.

And The New Essential Guide to Vehicle and Vessels does give statistics for both the TIE Advanced, and the Delta-7. So, your point is what exactly?
Everything I stated came directly from that book, or was otherwise made by using reason.

Really, an official source dictates that the TIE line (even the model Vader uses) has absolutely nothing on the Delta type crafts.
When I read this, I read quickly and thought it said "site" rather than "source", my mistake. I seem to be the only person here who can admit to a mistake. So thats the only reason I wrote that.

Nah, PS3 would be too good. Better to say: It's like ordering PS2 parts for an Xbox 360. 🙂

Nah, PS3 parts would be too good. It would be better to say: It's like ordering PS2 parts for an Xbox 360, cuz the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are pretty much the same, and the Xbox 360 is better than PS2 obviously. Though, I get your point. 🙂

No, PS3 parts are made for the PS3. Unless you can use them on the Xbox 360 (you can't), then my analogy was correct.
Edit: It didn't so much have to do with the quality, or performance of said consoles, but the fact that you can't use the PS3's composite cables on the 360, for example. Though, your analogy still could've been used, anyways. Almost any two consoles that are separate of each other could be.
