Oky Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 The TIE Aquanaut was a modified version of the TIE Fighter variant used by the Mining Guild. It featured the same black and yellow color scheme and notch cut into the stabilizers, but was modified to be able to travel underwater. The Mining Guild used it to protect their deep sea mining operations and help in locating valuable materials, particularly (kyber) crystals. Instead of its usual twin ion engines, it featured twin propellers, and instead of laser cannons, it was armed with harpoons. The TIE Aquanaut was piloted by specially trained Aqua Troopers. Here is one inside the small cockpit. This was my entry for AquaJune, a new themed build month over on Flickr. Let me know what you think and go check out the other entries! Quote
Mr Ogel Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 that's a kind of aqua-tick...I like it and the cockpit looks even more like a ball than some official tie versions...and divers are one of the best themes (imo) Quote
Big_Daddy Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 When I saw the thread title I was hoping for an Aquazone crossover. And I wasn't disappointed Quote
Feuer Zug Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Oh yeah! Loving the colors on this crazy mod. The octagonal viewscreen and the cutouts on the panels are perfect. Quote
jimmynick Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Very cute :) the shape and colour of the mining guild ship are perfect for aquanauts Quote
Doddsino Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I'm looking forward to an Aquasharks X Wing. Quote
