It definitely will require scripting but I'm not sure yet if I will. We'll have to see how much time I'll be able to dedicate to things once SE2 finally gets to a point where I'd want to play and mod it.

Crazy question, but will you port these over to SE 2 when Survival comes out or do you need to wait for scripting?

Should be around 1-1.2km I think.

Awesome, whats the effective range of the lasers?

The top and bottom of the TIE are both connectors. It has only batteries, no reactors.

Are these pieces powered by Uranium or how do you recharge the fighter?

I hope your Imperial Pack will include extendable bridges. The ones from the old Death Star Interior mod no longer functions. Bit of a problem.

AAARGH! I can't wait for your Imp pack! Driving me midly antsy, I hope the blocks are good and just right in design to fit with my ISD. I almost want to ask for a teaser of images, but that might make me even more impatient.

Okay, all connectors should now be working again.

The blocks work again! Nice!
Also, a small suggeestion. The connector block used to dock TIE Fighters and Interceptors, the tube - can you make a "Grated Catwalk" variant, perhaps? Akin to the grated catwalk expansion that has an opening for ladders, but instead of a ladder, the opening is larger and round to allow the TIE hatch to open without colliding or the objects clipping through each other?

Already have quite a few blocks done for an imperial deco pack :-)

Nice that you're working on it so much, despite everything else!
I wonder what will come next... more TIE kits, or an Imperial decoration pack?

Okay, I did a magic trick. The bug is fixed now but the mod has not been updated. :D

I see it. Investigating.

Mod failing to load properly for me as well after patch today.

I'll need to check again tonight when I get back from work. Did you by chance use the NPC repulsors? Because I removed those again as they're unneeded... though unsure if that was this patch. Will need to double check my test world.

Yeah, they're not loading into the game. But the mod is enabled and loaded. Did WeaponCore or your update break it? Not accusing, asking, just making that clear - but I am a bit annoyed.
The loss of parts caused the remaining pieces of the TIEs 'clang out' and fly through my ISD like railgun rounds. There are holes where there shouldn't be any.

The repulsors and the wings just deleted themselves from the TIE's in the world I am playing in... what happened?

Well, the one tip I've gotten since is that the way I set up the cockpit (with a separate model being displayed when sitting in it than when looking at it for reasons of space issues) doesn't work properly on DS. Could you share a screenshot of you sitting inside the cockpit at 70 FOV?

Yes. It would be odd if that made a difference.

Are you playing on a dedicated server?

@enenra

Hmm, okay, thanks.

No, I've tested it. All displays are correct. idk what happened on your end but that's not what should be there. And I'd assume I'd get a lot more reports if it was a general issue.

My only guess is a mod corruption error but that's very unlikely to be the case.

huh. I'll look into it.

And the top screen is flipped vertically

The side screen in the cockpit of both this and the interceptor seem to display things flipped horizontally.

Nice work. Now we need a TIE Bomber and Defender kit.

(comment 1 - thank you steam for that nonsense max 1000 letters per comment -_-)

hey, great mod so far! i also played the other two TIE Mods. by any chance, is there a way to improve it? it would be nice to have this Mod also WC-Free, especially for Consoles. also sad that the docking tube is not working.

with an collision-free and invisible conveyor rotor you could place it where the hatch is. but for this the buildable size for the cockpit has to be reduced by one on the top, so the cockpit kinda sticks out, plus making the buildable grid from the hatch-body offset to one block below the hatch, so place and hide the rotor Block inside the hatch. --- also turning the Connector-Hatch into a Door-Hatch could solve some peoples problem crashing their server. - well, its my guess and only my advise for further improvements, but still your Mods are awesome, ngl.

(comment 2) i sent you a FR here if you want to know what i mean with the buildable grid and offe´set-nonsense, since i dont know correctly how to pronounce it, but i ccould describe it better with screenshots from other mods that have offset Blocks. i hope we will be able to have other star fighters as well, like Republic Ones, or even CIS - especially CIS!

adding on to @skullykalee 's message, the docking tube doesn't connect to regular connectors either

Now we just need a Gozanti with the tie docks. The Gozantis on the workshop are are either small grid or poorly made

has anyone figured out the docking problems yet? the hatch and fuel port wont connect to the docking tube or regular connectors

I can't do anything without logs that show the error. I've not been able to get it to crash when placing it.

the top hatch on this is crashing my server aswell, everything else is fine but if i try to build the top hatch it freaks out

The Tie Interceptor cant connect to the docking tube

an idea for after the turrets, possibly tie bomber?

I figured as much, I just made the comment so people could know the specifics of the problem.

Yes, I know what the issue is. The problem is that if I fix it on my end, I break everyone's ships.

It appears to have rotated 90 degrees, when looking at the connectors in build info.

Oh.

No, I'm in contact with a bunch of mod authors and it is an issue with the game patch, but some modded connectors happen to be set up in a way where it doesn't affect them.
But I can't just adjust mine in that way because it would break all blueprints using them.

other connector mods are working, might have just broken this specfic mod

So the latest SE update changed something with connectors. Since I've not made any changes on my end (and I also have issues with connectors connecting) I'm fairly sure that's the cause. I'll be in contact with Keen directly to get this resolved asap.

Tie connectors are not working for me either. very strange.

That's very strange. Could you try going through these steps to make sure the issue isn't download corruption?

https://spaceengineers.wiki.gg/wiki/Fixing_Download_Corruption

Nope, it doesn't work. The connectors aren't reacting to each other.

In that same video, Shack actually connects up a vanilla connector to the bottom of the TIE. It happens around 5min in maybe? Does that not work for you?

I set the docking tube up the wrong way, thanks. BUT the vanilla connectors still don't work, neither with the normal TIE nor the interceptor. Isn't it intend to do it?
