Little something I'm working on, at the moment.

very interesting. Can you explain the new panel arrangement?

Eh, no real technical benefit to them: the priority is to look cool.

Hmm, too bad, I was hoping you picked up on someones technical theorizing that the panels on the TIEs in the movies were more of a tractor/repulsor system for latching onto masses near by [ships, asteroids, etc] and using them for manuverability and propulsion during combat, while the Twin Ion Engines are for getting from point A to B in open space. It would explain why the newer versions had the "bent wings" to improve manuverability by adding more range to the emitters. Your design would add "variable geometry" to that concept, improving manuverability even more [I would assume at the expense of the additional cannons on the interceptor] by allowing micro adjustments to the angle of the tractor/repulsor panels. Just theory crafting, keep up the good work
