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.

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!

[Shade]

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

[Galemp]

Ooh, I love the grinning faces. Reminds me of the Mega Missile.

[chief1983]

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

[Wobble73]

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!

[brandx0]

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.

[Titan]

it's an ugly... yay!

if you take a week off from work, we'll have SWC in a month.

[brandx0]

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.

[Titan]

... hmmmm....


my dads gone through nearly a job a year since 2003... companies keep getting bought out by bigger companies, he went with them, then went to GE, than left several weeks ago. now he works for the goverment with advanced hushety-hush crap.

[brandx0]

That's... great.

So, anyone have anything to say on topic?

[colecampbell666]

Sexy. You're the new Scooby, and I like the styling of your models better.

[brandx0]

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...

[Colonol Dekker]

You gonna make any more uglies? (Either established or custom.)

[Vasudan Admiral]

Hmpf. You're going too fast. I feel all slow now.

Lovely work.

[Turambar]

Hmpf. You're going too fast. I feel all slow now.

Lovely work.

pfft try being in the same mod as him.

[Stormkeeper]

.. What the ... What .. What is that thing ? Offspring of a TiE and Y-Wing ?

[Turambar]

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.

[Stormkeeper]

... X-Wing and a TiE ... Hmmm.

[Turambar]

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.
