TIE Advanced v1 Starfighter (Star Wars Rebels)

Shouldn't this have a Passenger stat of at least 1? In "Fire Across the Galaxy" Kanan and Ezra fly the Inquisitor's tie fighter to escape the star destroyer.

Of course, the regular TIE stat blocks need updated for the canon version to account for Hera, Sabine and the large Zeb in a regular TIE fighter cockpit... But it's so confusing because StarWars.com canon databank entry for TIE Fighters says "A TIE cockpit was cramped". In the canon novel Tarkin, standard TIEs were described as small in size, and Tarkin dreaded the thought of ever having to pilot one due to its cramped cockpit, indicating that it is even crowded for the pilot alone let alone having two passengers. But I guess this is what happens when cartoons mare made canon.

So maybe the TIE Fighters seen in Rebels employ some experimental temporary Dr. Who technology that makes the ships bigger on the inside than outside?

I had given this some thought actually. This is what I came up with, at least the rationale I used. They are designed for a single pilot and no passengers. That's it. Additional passengers can be added but it really depends on the GM. As a quick note I typically look at the cargo capacity and common sense for what can or cannot be done.

In the case of the TIE fighter, it appears there is enough room for two additional passengers. Game mechanics, this means there is no additional room for cargo and the pilot takes penalties for the lack of room to do their pilot/gunnery thing.

Perhaps a +1D difficulty modifier for each passenger? in the case of Fire Across the Galaxy it would be a +2D modifier to the difficulty number. Another way would be to increase the task difficulty by one rank. This would be my preferred method as I am all about keeping it simple. So the fewer dice I need to roll and calculate a new difficulty number the better. Easy goes to Moderate, Moderate to Difficult, and Difficult to Very Difficult.

Still doesn't address the lack of life support issue, but I suppose I can chalk that up to micro impacts, causing micro fractures, claiming the lives of too many pilots so life support suits are required by Navy mandate.
Using Babylon 5 Star furies as an allegory I can use that in game. I dare my players to try to fly through a debris field in a TIE without a flight suit though!
