Eject? they have no oxygen masks.

TIE pilots have them but their fighters explode as soon as they're hit.

so you got Imperials that could survive in space but really never have the opportunity to eject and the Rebels don't even have masks for it

and even in ROTS you had those dumbass clone pilots with rebreathers connected to an open faced helmet

I think the TIE pilots have masks because they don't have life support in their ships at all. Rogue Leader can back me up on that.

Design wise, you can't see their faces because they're EVIL, but that's beside the point.

Yes I can OO5, =D TIE Fighters are not equipt with ejector systems, internal life support (thus they have wear their own), shields, or hyperdrive. In other words, the Empire see their pilots as a renewable resource... like stormtroopers. =P

All Rebel starfighters are equipt for going EV or allow the entire cockpit to eject. In the case of the X-wing, charges throw the canopy off while the entire seat ejects with the pilot along with any astromech unit the fighter may have. There is a mask that pilots can use for going EV however it is unclear if it's a mask the place on or if it's placed on them automatically... like Iron Man. =D
