Quoting MDSWIM!AWESOMENESS! Why have I never commented on this? I love the wing parts you used around the front of the cockpit, as well as the shaping of the cockpit and pylons. If this were a real set, I'd definately buy it!Thanks Moodswim! The pylons were definately the hardest part to build on this MOC. I think I spent probably 2/3 of time of the build on these. Not so much the shaping, but the structure itself and its ability to hold up the weight of the wings.

In Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, the Avenger is the best all-around Imperial starfighter, as the TIE Defender and Missile Boat were not present for balance reasons. In X-wing Alliance, the Avenger's speed is significantly toned down. Its maximum shield level is reduced to below that of an X-wing, though it regenerates faster. I'm really hoping for an Assault Gunboat too. However, the TIE Avenger, much like the TIE Advanced, seems to lack an obvious role. It is hard to.

I went through approximately 4 versions before I got it right. Total build time I'd say was about 6-8 hours. I am very happy so many fellow MOC'ers are enjoying this! Quoting Aidan BryantI think I found someone else who's a big fan of a certain mid 90's game! Great rendition, but the front section, looks, wide. Still, great shape to this.Believe it or not, these are a rather tough build based on the scale of the fighter and making all of the details accurate with LEGO.

Hence why the front looks a little wide. I guess I could have done it another way but this seems to work for now. Over all, the build came out better than I expected in some ways, yet lacked certain things I wanted in the shape based on piece shape and lacking certain pieces. If I were judging this to my standars, I would give it a 7/10. Thank you for your constructive criticism! I always appreciate that!

They retained the starfighter's design but altered its aesthetic to suggest improvements to the vessel's manufacturing process and materials. Depiction Star Wars literature states that Sienar Fleet Systems manufactures TIE fighters and most TIE variants. TIE fighters' power a twin (TIE) system that accelerates gases at a high speed along almost any vector, affording the ships tremendous speed and maneuverability. Described as lacking a or, the fragile TIE fighters are deployed in large numbers from bases or larger ships; a carries a wing of 72 various TIE craft. Expanded Universe material holds that TIE fighter pilots, who undergo intense physical and psychological testing, are trained to be intensely loyal to and the Empire, willing to sacrifice themselves and their wingmates to accomplish their mission.

TIE pilots were seen as expendable assets, as it was far cheaper to manufacture a great deal of standardized spacecraft in overwhelming numbers than it was to fully equip the craft. A TIE fighter consists of the absolute minimum necessary to function as a spacecraft, being essentially nothing more than a cockpit with an engine and weapons. Although Expanded Universe material often describes TIE fighters as lacking an, the player can eject from TIE craft in '.

The Empire Strikes Back introduces a TIE shuttle and TIE/sa bombers, which ferry to Darth Vader's and bomb asteroids in the hunt for the, respectively. Both TIE craft have a design that stems from an unused 'TIE boarding craft' concept developed for A New Hope. The TIE bomber's double-hull design led ILM's modelmakers to dub the ship a 'double ' fighter. The TIE/sa was also the inspiration for the triple-hulled TIE lander, featured in #60 and in Star Wars: Complete Locations.
