You gunners shoot at planets! If you missed one of those, I'd be worried. TKs are only bad shots when trying to hit a hero (or little fuzzy bear things on planet moons). Try hitting an A, B, X or Y-wing, now, there's a challenge Madighon
TIEs out-turn said B-Wings and shields are no help once they are drained... Watch out, my unshielded TIE is on your 6!!
