Ontopic, how about a TIE Crawler, and what about a TIE Wing?
Both have been already made. DIE-wing was in his last pack, and TIE crawler is in Teancum's asset pack.

TIE boarding craft
TIE oppressor
TIE mauler


Also, I think the TIE avenger's back part goes around the cockpit more, like the x1.

Seeing as you can put autoturrets on this things, maybe some sort of massive flying TIE juggernaut that takes up half the hanger?

that mighnt turn out as you want. if you "specular"(actually gloss)-map big surfaces, they will glow really strong from many angels because the size of the glosseffects depends on the size of the surface. thats why it works best on units.
anyway, noce work on the models! will you bumpmap them?

@anakin: its in this forumsection because it is a work in progress. maxloef could have posted it in the 3dmodelingforum too but here he can get more feedback because there are far less people visiting the 3dmodelingforum than the wipforum.

It's called the Lancet Aerial Artillery. I'll be interested as to how the odfs for it are going to work, as it fires a proton beam down at a target. Maybe some sort of lock on. Anyway, that bulb between the cockpits is the proton beam emitter.

If you're doing the EaW vehicles, the TIE mauler would be a good one.

I present you a WIP of the Lancet, its far from finished but i have some plans for it!

Pilot: Forward lasers
Main Gunner: Giant Proton cannon (might make it shoot very big BOLTS)
Aft Gunner 1: Port aft turret
Aft Gunner 2: Star aft turret
Passenger 1: Look around
Passenger 2: Look around

The ship lends its self very nicely to maybe a lambda shuttle style takeoff with the wings going down, ill probably add it to the ship, with maybe some sort of landing gear.

Sweet!


I would like to see some sort of take off anim, maybe make the gun be horizontal while landed.
If you need assistance, tell me, I would love to help. :)

The gun is fixed. It would be like the bomb pod on a TIE bomber rotating.

And aren't passenger slots completely pointless? Lancets aren't transports, and all it does is take units off your team. The AI never land unless a rocket makes them.

Personally I think even secondary gunners on fliers are a bad idea unless the gun has near 360 firing... Maybe make them autoguns?
