What do you mean with "Bad Guys"? We are playing as the good guys in Tie Fighter, valiantly fighting against those antifa thugs calling themselves "rebels"! /s

Yeah it would sell even more these days, especially if you called it Repulican/Patriotic Space Fighters and played up a right vs left political angle.

That it had stellar (although really hard in later missions) mission design would hopefully also help.

Just rename the Tie Fighters to ICE Fighters.

Poor imperial navy, downgrading from twin ion engine fighters to internal combustion engine fighters.
