* [[AFGNCAAP]]: the player character. Materials from the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] indicate that his name is "Keyan Farlander", he was flying the surviving Y-Wing at Yavin, and he goes on to be a Jedi.▼
** [[Expanded Universe]] nothing, one of the cutscenes has Luke Skywalker specifically refer to a "Lieutenant Farlander."▼
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: Blow up those shield generator towers on top of the Star Destroyer's bridge and it becomes much easier to kill.
* [[Arrow Cam]]: For torpedos and missiles.
* [[Chasing Your Tail]]: Dogfights.
* [[Collision Damage]]: Often lethal. ''You'' also do [[Collision Damage]] to other fighters... and TIEs don't have shields, so colliding with one will certainly take it out.
* [[Copy Protection]]: Removed in later versions.
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Implied and modeled exactly like in ''[[A New Hope]]'' . If the player is captured, Lord Vader himself pops up to have a chat about the location of that secret Rebel base...
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
* [[Cutscene]]: Very rewarding and compelling ones, bear in mind X-Wing was one of the first complex cinematic works made after the [[Star Wars]] movies. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSSNonaBw-8 Watch] . Only surpassed in its day by the ones from [[Killer App|CD-ROM based]] ''Star Wars [[Rebel Assault]]''
* [[Deadly Training Area]]: Pilot proving grounds, unlike the Empire's [[Virtual Training Simulation]] seen in Tie Fighter and later games.
* [[Deflector Shields]]: The main and huge advantage the Rebel fighters have over the Imperial ones -- the only spacecrafts that lack a shield -- until Gunboats and TIE Advanceds appear. [[Regenerating Shield Static Health]] variety and an important element of the energy management gameplay.
* [[Easter Egg]]: Santa Claus shows up in the Rebel flagship if the computer date is December 25.
* [[Enemy Scan]]: Many missions are based on inspection and identification of vessels. The actual sensor is a crude one which only provides allegiance, name, position, hull / shield absolute status and cargo. It would become more detailed in the sequels.
Line 37 ⟶ 35:
** If you looked at the victory parameters for that mission, only the Corvette needed to complete its docking operation. You could immediately order the three shuttles to RTB as soon as the mission started and save about ten minutes.
* [[Explosive Instrumentation]]: Taking a lot of damage often resulted in your instrument panels breaking.
▲* [[
▲** [[Expanded Universe]] nothing, one of the cutscenes has Luke Skywalker specifically refer to a "Lieutenant Farlander."
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: The A-Wing. TIE Interceptors are even more fragile.
* [[Gunship Rescue]]: There is at least one mission where the Mon Calamari Cruiser ''Cathleen'' appears at the end to pull your ass out of the fire. ''TIE Fighter'' introduced the ability to call for reinforcements in most missions, and in one "protect the space platform from raiders" mission, calling for reinforcements summons a ''Star Destroyer''.
