Also, as a possible cool-factor, might it be possible for the wings in landing mode to fold past horizontal? As in angled slightly in toward each other at the edges opposite the hinged end?It'd take s ...

Sooo, I'm not dead. Volume is up at work, and I've got a lot of other stuff going on keeping me busy. Work on your TIE has not totally ground to a halt, but progress is slow and sporadic—as initially ...

Were you still planning on filling in the hollows of the rear cone?It's mostly full of hyperdrive slab, but I could put in some radiating fins or something like that if you want.
First, I have no pro ...

Part of the original critique was that there was insufficient room inside the TIE to mount a hyperdrive, so I need the rear module to be of sufficient internal volume that I can point to it and realis ...

I think the most pleasant looking would be a spatula-like skid which could fold down from the inner wing surface aft of the wing pylon.

Something like this, for example.

I like the general shape, but IMO, it needs to be thicker.How much so? I think it's already thicker than the plate on the extended TIE fighter, so I'm unsure what you're looking for.Also, you need t ...

Okay, so I've got this so far. What do you think of the hyperdrive? Filled in/tied back to the EU enough?

Hatch completed, so that's nice.

I'm having trouble affixing landing gear to the wing py ...

My only issue is that it is too hollow; my intent for adding the extension in the first place was that it would be the housing for the hyperdrive, and having the extension be mostly open space makes i ...

But that .22 mag pistol won't have nearly the range or accuracy of a 10/22 as a tradeoff for its size.It'll have more range. That comes from muzzle velocity, which is far higher in .22 mag even with ...

Hmm. Seems somewhat off that these cannon inflict similar damage to the X-Wing's much larger cannon...My friend Dale has a .22 magnum revolver which fits in the palm of a small hand, but does a hel ...

Giant droids are certainly found in Star Wars. Robot ramships and Probot Vipers—IIRC—are both capital-scale droids. Coruscant construction droids were probably larger than a bolo. There are also mobil ...

My feeling on the Interceptor's cannon was that they were similar in size to the cannon on an X-Wing, and appear deceptively smaller because they are mounted on the wing edges, as opposed to a free st ...

I expected the laser cannon to be proportionally larger. In the cross sections book, much of the TIE laser cannon is internal, with just the tip exposed. Other than that, the placement looks good.And ...

So, had a hard drive... wobble. Not quite a crash, but it needed some work and ate some time.

So lots'a time taken with little to show for it, but I've moved the laser cannons into new housings on ...

Credits. Missiles are far more expensive than turbolaser blasts, and it's more economical to mount massive turbolasers (ISD primary turrets, for example) than batteries of missiles which, according to ...
