Some new TIE's

TIE Tri-Bomber *I found the design on the Web*

TIE NEO *I found the design on the Web*

TIE Predator *Not from me*

TIE Torpedoboat *I modified the Predator a littlebit*

Damn, that Trip-Bomber is cool.

Looks like some of Darksaber's stuff.

The only TIE design I ever liked was the Defender, but that was only because the thing performed so well that it could look as damned ugly as it wanted.

The quality of all the models are cool.

The tri-bomber's design's cool too. However, the rest are just strange.

Looks _just_ like Darksaber's ships. Good high-poly versions of them too!

The Tri-Bomber is the neatest one. The others look too unbalance with only one "solar" panel.

I agree. Would those even feasibly be able to fly?

A... Yeah... There was it where I found the design...

Heh, I like the Predator. Nice modelling, Crix.

You can fly any shape you want in a vacuum, though I don't know if one radiator panel is enough to dump all the heat a TIE generates. In atmosphere, all TIEs would need repulsors, because they've got the aerodynamics of cinderblocks (the Rebels aren't much better).

True, but the thing about TIEs that make them so appealing to the Imperials is that it can easily go from vacuum to atmosphere with very little degredation in handling. TIEs did okay, TIE-Ins were better and the Trip wing was by far the best. These could never be piloted in atmosphere.

Impressive, most impressive.

I've saw that Torpedoboat Tie in a DivX mivie before. They where very cool.

Personally I think the Neo looks like real crap...

The rest aren't that bad though.

The monowings are hang-gliders!

I actually like that TIE Predator the best

Oooh, purdy...

They all look cool, but I'd say the Tri-Bomber is the most practical. The Neo just doesn't seem right, and the Predator is pretty good. The panel on top of the Torpedoboat seems out of place, though, but it would be more practical than the two smaller ones on the Predator, in my opinion.

Why couldn't they be piloted in atmosphere? All they'd need is repulsors, which are suitably small to be mounted. It's not like a TIE/ln or even a Defender has any better aerodynamics.

If you want a single-wing TIE design, integrate the wing into the rest of the body. Have it trailing behind the ball cockpit, like a tadpole. That would make more sense from a heat-radiation point of view, and... well, it'd still look ugly, but it wouldn't look NEARLY as ugly as the NEO. And it wouldn't even obstruct the pilot's view (what little view he can get, anyway).

I once saw one like the Tri-Bomber. But it had 5 pods, a central pilot, and two bomb bays on top of each other on either side of pilot pod.

The Tri-podded bomber takes it for me.

Nothing like having two good payloads over that sucker of a Tie bomber guy.
