-KING's- TIE Fighter Respawn Ship & Build Kit

(WIP) King's TIE Fighter Respawn Ship & Build Kit was created to provide you with your very own TIE Fighter, with enough fire power to get you started in your new respawn pod! (TIE Fighter only appears as a Respawn option in survival worlds!) Also included is my first ever 3d-rig... TIE Pilot, model found on the Internet...(see copyright credits below) And the Pilot also gets a new E-11 Blaster stowed away in the TIE when it spawns! (complete with your first 5 power cells, 100 shots each. Plasma cartridges are also supported and have 500 shots each but require more rare materials than power cells)

I dissected a 3d TIE model that I found on sketchfab and turned it into Space Engineers blocks necessary to make a fully functional star fighter respawn ship. While I was finishing things up the author posted a more detailed TIE so I grabbed the interior bits from the new model. (see copyright credits below)

TIE PARTS AND WHAT THEY ARE: Antenna (side mount attaches to top) TIE Engines (twin rear mount (can mount more if desired), forward thrust - rest of thrusters are hidden, 1-4 in each direction, see below) Concussion Missiles (Wing Pylons/arms) Battery (top of sphere) Gyroscope (bottom of sphere) Solar Panel (wings) Flight Seat (attached to front glass canopy, mounts to main sphere) Ship Welder (mounts between chin guns)

HIDDEN COMPONENTS: TIE Engines Hidden (left, right - mount on side of rear connector) TIE Engines Hidden (back - mount on main front, 1 over and up from chin guns) TIE Engines Side mount (up/down - 1 of each on each side of main, before placing pylons - above and below mount)

VANILLA OPTIONS INSTALLED: Connector (mounts on rear of sphere) Backup camera (mounted on rear connector) Dashcam (mounts on canopy glass)

OPTIONAL HIDDEN UPGRADES: Remote Control 1x1 (mounts on rear sphere, above rear connector) Ore Detector 1x2 (mounts on rear sphere, below rear connector) Jump Drive 1x1 (1-4, or more, best to surround the above two items)

No part of this mod may be used in any other mod without my consent

Special thanks to ChipsStix213 for answering my questions along the way, especially with the 3d character rigging. To TheMonsterIsMe and MTGraves for being modeling mentors and helping me work some things out. For Kreeg & Razortron for inspiring me by blazing the way with their awesome Star Wars mods!

UPDATE 05/24/2022 - Fixed missing blueprint classes to allow survival assemblage, brought to my attention thanks to @CpTnSoB

UPDATE 05/06/2022 - Fixed textures appearing in front of 1st person camera thanks to Kreeg's suggestion! Fixed flame position thanks to Monster Jr.! His 8yr old son noticed the flames were out of place before anyone else!

May the fourth, 2022: Initial release and update

-KNOWN ISSUES-

This is an initial release of some really brand new stuff, as such everything is not perfect, somethings are quite rough, and therefore a work in process. If you use my Tiered Jump Drives, place that mod higher than this one or you will have a conflict E11-Blaster: rifle is only visible in scope mode when firing Animation for cartridge changing can be improved, but I am not an animator, yet. I learned how to 3d-rig to get this pilot to you! Sometimes the bones forget how to move the right arm, need to redo the weight-painting more than likely TIE Missiles are too OP or too many are allowed. I need to balance that better... Expect changes here! I will be updating the respawn ship to include more features very soon! (like a survival kit) After much consideration I will attempt to reduce the size of TIE to get closer to cannon, it will may block sizing awkward for a sphere...but here goes nothing!
