It looks like each ship has a different coefficient of how much health and protection it gets . It ' s difficult to tell for sure sorry , because my FOTP guy isn ' t as well geared or leveled as my Imp TIE Pilot yet . But Imp TIE Fighter appears to have no protection , yet still seems to have as much total health as the FOTP TIE combine FOTP TIE health and protection , and Imp TIE has that as just health . so it doesn ' t seem like it ' ll be any squishier than other attackers and it can still gain protection from JC fighter and other abilities etc . <| sep |> Keys , phone , lip gloss . <| sep |> Had to take engineering stats . Hated it . After reading this , it actually made it interesting . Thanks for the real world example .
