I prefer this paint job over the two design in canon.

Ah, sorry, but I've been too busy with other projects, but I might revisit this design later.

No worries at all! thanks for replying!

Very cool design, though I feel I must ask what are those triangular pod looking structures mounted on the wing struts? Concussion Missile pods? Booster rockets?
π: 0 β©: 1
Concussion missile pods. They can be swapped out for different pods, like booster rockets or particle cannons.

Awesome, did consider it strange that it wasn't included in the listed armaments though.

yeah, it was a goof.

Love the First Order asthetic, and this is a brilliant interpretation/evolution of the TIE Interceptor concept!

My only complaint is that if that gold is the viewport, that is WAY too thin to be effective for the pilot
π: 0 β©: 1
Honestly, I just operated under the assumption that there is no viewport, so much as a cockpit with cameras offering a 360-degree view within.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, until you realize that the SW universe is one where EM weaponry (such as ion cannons) is common. With a viewport, if your ship gets hit by an ion cannon, at least you can still see what's going on.

Fair enough.Β Though really, I was merely making an educated guess as to the nature of the viewport.

Huh, that's an interesting idea for a fighter, I've never thought of that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wouldn't be the first fighter with that concept in mind.Β There's the Fenrir from the Ace Combat series, and IIRC, the F-35 is experimenting with something similar.

Really? That's awesome. And I meant starfighter :-P

Fair point.Β Though it is possible there may be one or two fighters that function similarly in the old Legends canon.

Thatβs how ships in the old Elite games used to work. They used cameras and sensors to see the universe around them, and from the outside they looked like geometric shapes made from armor plating.

Sorry, that comment was made on my phone. I meant the Elite series by David Braben . in the original game you started out in a Cobra, which was basically the equivalent of a Corellian light freighter, and it looked like this:

Ah, well that makes sense, then.

There's also the YF-21 from Macross Plus that had a direct neural link for control with a vestigial view-port for use in an emergency (like if the up-link failed)

Ah yes, I had almost forgotten about that one.Β Thanks for reminding me.Β

i know you don't do commissions is there any way i can get you to make a starfighter for me at all
π: 0 β©: 1
I do commissions, it's just that I charge at least 300 dollars for 'em.

Do you do weekly or monthly payments like getting a paycheck
π: 0 β©: 1
usually i get paid on delivery.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm delivery? you mean you get paid in full up front?
π: 0 β©: 1
i mean upon delivery of the final product. up front payments are partial and rarely in full.
π: 0 β©: 1
Crud I was hoping to pay in micro payments I basically play a little bit at a time and till the entire thing has been paid off you don't have to start the order anything I pay you first then you do your art thing
i'm actually doing the same deal with another artist through deviant art was she said I could pay her $20 a week thanks to my job

No prob. I like to see more Tie ships of yours
π: 0 β©: 0
This makes way more sense than what was shown in the movie, would love to see your take on a First Order TIE Defender or TIE Hunter.

Those are indeed missile pods. They can be swapped out with other single-use weapons.
π: 0 β©: 1
My guess would be external electronic bays, hyperdrive units and whatnot. Given that the armament list four laser cannons and two blasters.Β
