TIE Fighter’s strategy guide is a perfect relic from the LucasArts era, when Star Wars PC gaming meant manuals, mission briefings, keyboard commands, and real Imperial homework.

X-Wing Alliance (Totally Games/LucasArts, 1999): TIE Experimental M1, art by Richard Green "I started as a freelancer doing some new TIE fighter designs for the sequel to X-Wing. Those were super fun to do. [Totally Games] was the best overall experience in game development of my entire career".

The best spaceship in Star Wars is the TIE Experimental M1 hands-down, no contest. BEHOLD THE PURITY OF FORM *AND* PURPOSE

The "TIE Experimental M1" from a Star Wars video-game.

The pilot's orb-shaped cockpit is connected to a giant panel, which serves as the middle between said cockpit and another orb. This other orb is a gun-mount.

Essentially, it's two balls separated by a giant flat panel.
