First Order Tie Advanced in Episode 8

By vtarin, in X-Wing

There's a rumour here --> http://makingstarwars.net/2017/01/rumors-on-star-wars-episode-viiis-tie-fighters/

What do you think, will we see it coming to Xwing?

That's a concept art before the Ep7 was released. We don't know if it will appear in Ep8 or if it will look anything like that. (hopefully yes - because it looks cool and better than just a TIE/x1 repainted)

validity of rumor aside, anything this badass would be welcome in x-wing

just because it was concept art for one file doesn't rule out that it can turn up in another.
a lot of old school concept art from Ralph Mcquarrie turned up in TFA

I don't play Imperials much and I don't collect all the ships from the Empire... .but I will buy one of these(or whatever Kylo Ren is dog-fighting in) AND fly it!

Everything old is new again. On the internets.

It's all been dooooone befooooore.

Indeed. It looks cool, but that was concept art for the TIE/fo. I do like it, as well as the assymetric special forces TIE concept:

In fact someone's already made one.

There's also an atmospheric-looking one:

There's several good First Order TIE concept arts out there, I hope they utilize some of them for something.

That said, I'm pretty sure I heard this same rumor like 1.5 years ago.

So i say its fake a hell.

Even if it looks badass.

It's not fake, but it's concept art from Episode 7 , not some sort of leak from Episode 8.

I have the concept art book, and I'm looking at the picture right now.

We need that ship as a miniature for X-Wing. OFFICIAL Version, make it so the Emperor has it hidden for his secret travels between the Death Star and Imperial Center.

If so someone has been ULTRA lazy cause it looks almost the same as this SW:TOR Sith ship.

The Fury Interceptor is just a derivative ship in and of itself.

It's like, the peak of SWTOR lazy.

So true. If I can play an official model of this I will be very, very pleased. I really hope they're a bit more imaginative with their design work this time :(

I'm seriously considering converting one of my Strikers into this beast.

Blasphemy! :) There's absolutely nothing that can be done to a Striker that will make it look better.

Did I say anything about better? Different ;)

That looks like a totally different ship to me. I know its still called a TIE Adv but its got different panels.

It was the original (and WAY better) concept art for the TIE/sf as noted above.

Indeed. It's actually a new ship design and not just a repainted TIE Fighter.

I hope so. I really liked the concept C, U and V-wings that didn't make it into TFA.

YUP...

:D

I've always been of the mindset that it's Kylo's personal fighter anyway.

Yeah but we can still have a badass unit of three in game... wonderful!

I will definitely buy a totally-not-original black FO Interceptor. But the concept TIE/sf is gorgeous and should make it to the SW Universe (or XWMG)

I feel dirty for liking the Old Republic ship, but it looks great. The only con is the small cockpit.
