TIE Bomber has same Max Speed mod factor per power setting than Y-wing

[David Esparza Guerrero]

Most ships in the game increase or decrease their Max Speed by 1/8 for each individual change to the laser or shield power setting. However the Y-wing is a special case, in which the variation is 1/16.

The TIE Bomber seems to have the same behavior.

Stephen Kempf: " I just checked TIE Fighter (Win95 version), and can report that the TIE Bomber also behaves like the Y-wing, and all other craft behave like the X/A/B-wing. In XvT and XWA, the Y-wing loses this behavior, but the TIE/B retains it (other craft untested)."

@Justagai indicated that the TIE Bomber and the Y-wing share same neutral max speed: 80 MGLT. However, with laser recharge set to increased, the Y-wing speed falls to 75, while the TIE Bomber falls to 70. TIE Bomber: 70 = (1 - 0.125) * 80 so it's 1/8th Y-Wing: 75 = (1 - 0.0625) * 80 so it's 1/16th

That means that the TIE Bomber has 1/8th speed modifier as any other ship other than the Y-wing.
