aaaand now your design is a real one lmao, TIE Dagger

[@NthDoctorWho]

I mean, triangular TIE wings have been around since the OT came out when kids drew their own ships, and the TIE Dagger concept appeared in the TFA artbook, which predates this video as well Only downside is that it lacks the superior FO color scheme because they gotta hit that sweet reset button and keep retelling same same story forever and ever...

[@BensBrickDesigns]

I'd love to get a reaction from him. I mean, were they both independently inspired by something? Was this his design and they approached him and offered collab money? Did they just rip someone off? This design is far superior to the Dagger.

[@RamielDerLinke]

They liked this design but that happened before this video came out. There was already concept art for episode 7, in which a TIE Fighter with triangle wings appeared. And this video is from 2016. So he also didn't invent a TIE Fighter with this shape.

[@ramblesrandom]

[@demanischaffer]

Bailey Glyde Well would the New Republic really throw away their best design? I'd consider the X-wings to basicly be like the F/A-18 Hornet, the T-70 X-wing and T-85 to be like the F/A-18 Superhornets, it makes more sense for the fledgling new republic to upgrade the X-wing design instead of replacing it

Since it's multirole and has thicker wings, could also use the wings to mount heavier cannons for busting ground targets. Also I'd consider putting the wings on a gimbal so they can rotate on multiple axis, so instead of the wings acting like two big airbrakes during turns you could rotate them in atmospheric flight to generate lift and reduce drag during maneuvers while also making them control surfaces and allowing the big cannons to be angled downward for strafing runs. Really love the design!

[@knightofalleble9841]

Oooh, I really love this design. It’s still obviously a TIE, but the nuances make it way more awesome than it looks at first glance. One thing I might say it was missing as regards versatility is any form of concussion or heat-seeking missile. Maybe if you angled the wings inward a little you would have the room to add those, or if the top forward section of the wings could lift to reveal a rack of missiles (like the vulture droids in Revenge of the Sith). Also, quick question: you mentioned what 3D modeling software you use, but is that the same software you made those GREAT animations with? Thanks, and keep up the amazing work!

[@DrewLSsix]

Christopher J. Abbott. In the bottoms of the wings/pylons are what look like hard points, I expected him to mention those for use with mission specific weapons.

[@ECHenry]

Interesting that you'd bring this up! I actually considered adding missiles under the pylons.

[@thomask2620]

Hm, a removable pod that can clamp onto the wings? Something like the torpedo "rollbar" on the Reliant/Miranda (Star Trek 2). Heck, with these kinda needing to be versatile, there could be things like sensor pods, too. Just hand the pods out to sectors that need them and not have to worry about more specialized ships.

[@andymac4883]

I'll agree with the other repliers, you could easily mount individual missiles on the larger pylons. In fact, that seems like the sort of cheap solution the Empire would work with, even with a more expensive fighter like this.

[@mikegrady5987]

i'd love to see a spaceship building tutorial or at least a general guild-line or overview of techniques. Also, as one 3D Modeler to another, i'd LOVE to see a compare and contrast of Star Wars ship aesthetics to Star Trek ship aesthetics by someone with an eye for that sort of thing.

[@sparten329]

So I'm pretty sure the "pointy bits" you mentioned seeing on a lot of WWII aircraft are usually pitot tubes. We still use them on most aircraft (military or otherwise) today to measure your airspeed. Otherwise, I think it may be either an ice detection sensor (used to monitor ice buildup on flight surfaces and in conjunction with a de-ice system, remove said ice) or possibly a refueling port for refilling mid flight, though I admit these are usually found on newer/Post-WWII aircraft.

[@RamielDerLinke]

[@OLu_Bastin]

I really love this design. Excellent. My only thing is the 1 big engine at the back kinda stops it being designated as a "TIE" due to the fact that the "T" stands for "Twin" in "Twin Ion Engine". Never the less this is a beautiful reimagining of the TIE design

[@robertkalinic335]

lol i simplified wings, they rotate now.

[@ECHenry]

Good point, haha - I actually did think about that as I was saying it. I mean simple in basic shape - not in function or detail.

[@barrybend7189]

Why not use a gyro seat in the cockpit so it lands on the wings but the top hatch is still there.

[@robertkalinic335]

Empire dont care so much abount pilots, dont be ridiculous.

[@TKnightcrawler]

You could still make it a triangle and have them fixed, just rotate it so one side is always parallel with the ground, have its longest side be on the bottom and shift it up a bit. Besides, TIEs are really supposed to hang from racks; I get the impression landing on their wings is a last-ditch sort of thing... at least in Legends.

[@米空軍パイロット]

EC Henry I love the WW2 throwback camouflage. However, a better visual camouflage that is more versatile and more effective is the light gray that the US uses on its aircraft, which happens to be the original TIE Fighter color.

Cool design, what I love the most is that you thought through the implications of what role this could serve (both militarily, and psychological), and made modifications that supported that.

[@absalomdraconis]

I think I would have had it land on it's back instead of tilting it's wings, with the chair assembly tilting instead (sort of like some of the Slave 1 toys). Probably use a cylindrical TIE bomber style cockpit so that some living space could be incorporated. And also, a gunner's position, with the primary weapons mounted on a turret to increase effectiveness against enemy small-craft. All in all, a neat concept. I could definitely see some specialist "Hunters" from the ISB using this sort of all-rounder to hunt down leads (and even unsupported targets in some cases) out on frontier worlds.

note: yeah I know, commenting late. Love the thought in your design as always, however I think itd work better if the guns were modular, lasers/blasters is a good mixed loadout, but if one (or both) pair(s) could be swapped for other weapons with ease, it would fit a multi role even better, or indeed allow a combined arms squad of the same base craft, a mix of torpedoes/missiles/ions would allow punching thru shields and disabling of a larger craft for example. Maybe call in the T.I.E. Mu (multi role) if that designation hasnt been used on the innumerable kitbashes) Also, since its got varible geometry wings why not go a step further and have the solar panels fold out and turn into control surfaces for atmospheric flight, basically bending at an angle in the center.
