TIE's seem dependent on a base ship intentionally. You don't want anyone defecting to those Rebel scum, not that anyone would.

 
Isn't that pretty much the plot of TFA?

 Crashing on a nearby planet with your base ship in the neighborhood, (or so I presume) isn't quite the clean getaway one would want.

As Duracell pointed out , TIE's never had hyperspace capability in the OT. Even Ben in the original film says they're short range fighters.
