(Probably another) TIE Interceptor

[allmappedout]

Hello all!

I never actually create anything pretty on KSP, i'm all utilitarian, but the cupola module finally forced me to do the thinkable, and make a TIE craft. I went for the Interceptor because a) It has awesome sweepy forward panels, and I messed up trying to make a normal TIE fighter.

I've made one or two concessions between it being a useful craft and a cool design (probably achieving neither!), but hopefully someone will enjoy the creation. It's got around 2500m/s dV, and a ton of RCS, which helps with docking (top and bottom ports). I think it's fairly well balanced, and it has an added bonus that, on its own, it has just under 1 TWR, so you can burn for a few seconds and you'll get VTOL, so you can play about in the atmosphere until the fuel runs out.

I *THINK* it's stock. It did have Mechjeb on it but I've done some fancypantsing with the craft file, to remove it. I use FAR too, but I don't think that should break anything?

Anywho, TL;DR - PICTURES!!!!!

That's no Mun....That's a Spa-...oh wait, it is a Mun.

And yet, with this cupola module, still NOBODY builds the Millenium Falcon!

I guess I should visit the spaceplane hangar soon...

with 500 billion parts, I think any machine would choke on that.
