I hope you will do some more obscure faction ships, like Ssi Ruuvi or CSA.

One thing that always bothered me about this type of TIE variant… TIE stands for Twin Ion Engine, but all these triangular ships have three engines, so how could they still be TIEs?!

awesome model, though!

The amount of emissions does not decide how many engines a vehicle has. This could have 2 engines, but 3 emitters.

Triple Ion Engine would still have the same acronym.

The Tie Demolisher has 4 emitters, but it is still a Tie

No, that would be the Tredecillion Ion Engine that you’re thinking of…

Twin-Ion Engine or Triple-Ion Engine, they both still use the same letter.

Pretty sure in legends these were called V38 Starfighters although those could be something different

I love this line of TIE Fighters. Fractal took the TIE Scimitar bomber’s cockpit pod and made an entire family of starfighters that look AMAZING. The Demolisher, Mangler, Whirlwind, and now the Seeker are better than any TIE we saw in the Sequel Trilogy. Shoot, they’re arguably better than any TIE in the Expanded Universe. I mean, the TIE Neutralizer bomber and TIE Predator starfighter are cool, but Fractal’s are untouchable.

I remember seeing the earlier version of this from 2016. It’s brilliant to now see the finalised version of this fighter.

wonderful…however, I think that because of the too high tail-wing, he will not be able to use the invented by fractalsponge TIE hangar rack system.

The rack system will hold the XG-1 Starwing, so it should be able to hold the Seeker.

What would the role of this fighter be?

My guess is a fighter or interceptor, possibly stealth too given its similarities to the TIE phantom.

It’s basically a heavy superiority fighter, designed to go into enemy airspace and wipe out fighters and light transports. Since it doesn’t have any missiles, it lacks the anti-ship striking power of something like the Xg-1 Assault Gunboat. Per the discussion on the Discord, it is also equipped with a SLAM module for added speed. The TIE Phantom swaps out the SLAM for a cloaking device, and is otherwise externally identical to this.
