You guys asked me for dirty TIEs, well, here's the next best thing

STOP!!! Seriously read this thread before you ask what this thing is, it's already been answered.

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
I'm assuming from the Skull and crossbones on the cockpit that this is some kind of pirate/smuggler/bounty hunter's ship, using an old TIE prototype or summat!

Oohh, a DIE. Worst possible combination of engines and cockpit imaginable. I like it ;)

Wobble, it's the  DIE-Wing, one of the 'Uglies' of Star Wars.  Do a little googling and you'll find info.

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
Ahh!, believe or not, never played any of the X-wing/TIE fighter games, and I certainly didn't see that in any of the films. Looks cool though!

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
It's mostly from the novels.  As chief said, check it out on google.

I really wanted to give the model some irony, making it look really badass when it's about the worst ship anyone could come up with.  It really has no redeeming features whatsoever.

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
Haha, no we wouldn't.  If I take a week off from work then I can't afford my bills, and I'd have no electricity to run my computer nor home to put it in.

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
Hehe, thank you.

Got a new version of the texture, mostly just minute differences, toned down the skull and crossbones up top and added some kill markings, though I'm debating whether to put them beside the cockpit, where they're hardly visible, or across the front of the engine pods above the grinning teeth, where they might get some distortion.

Hmm, good question...

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
it's an Ugly

pirate forces who can't afford fighters do what they can by sticking together parts of fighters that they find or salvage.  the result: Uglies.

Re: Man, That's One Ugly Fighter!
there's a variant in one book which is an X-wing body with TIE wings

there's another variant that the Twi'lek use called a deathseed, which has a TIE ball, with the X-wing's 4 wings around it.
