The Bat Striker. Painted to look like a skeleton bat. Would fly in space, maybe not in the atmosphere though...

The poor guy Striker. I wonder how it flies on the space without the solar panels. ¬¬

Slowly.

That inspires me.

I'm thinking clip the rear panel off the wings or the front panel on one side and make it asymmetrical.

What on earth... OK that looks technically difficult so bravo, but I do think it looks pretty horrible.

Still no - I just get a white box with a small grey circle in the middle.

Same. They must be linked to a private Google drive.

I'd call it a "ghost TIE" or "skeleTIE" maybe part of a dreaded ghost fleet from the outer reaches... It has no grounding in (current) Star Wars (pseudo-)science, but it's a brilliant job on skeletonizing the wing panels.

Honestly though, in a world with white solar panels it's not that much of a stretch to have "transparent" solar panels :P

... or some kind of "energy collector frame"

It's like a dream catcher, collecting space energy as it flows through the open frame. Yeah, that's it... :ph34r:

All the gamma rays radiating out of the Death Stars super laser power it...or so I've been told. They don't really tell me much...

D, your dazzle camo has always been the bees knees! I've always been envious.

How do you choose the accent color? I can't seem to step out of neutral colors on my Imps (black, grey, white & metallic,) but your color choice always seems appropriate.

Maybe I just need to choose 3 colors and just go for it.
