Yes I'm aware, I'm just wondering if it will be put in game. Currently they use the standard TIE Fighter model. Sorry I worded it wrong.

Also interested where did you get that model from? I can't find any canon images for the original T.I.E. Starfighter.

It's already in the game. Just to be clear, this is the Republic T.I.E., not the Imperial TIE Starfighter (as seen in TFU on Kashyyyk and perhaps later). In v1.0, the first ship in the TIE Fighter branch is the T.I.E., but that was due to confusion on my part. They are now separate classes.

The model was originally for XWA and it's not official. I thought it was a genius "missing link" in the evolution, however, and decided to use it. If you look closely, it's heavily influenced by the Scimitar.

We're using this as the standard Republic starfighter from 22 BBY-20 BBY as a counterpart to the more elite Delta-7, until it's replaced by the Alpha-3. I realize that that distinction is "supposed" to go to the V-19 Torrent, but that is a silly 26-meter ship and the T.I.E. was here first, so we're going to account for it, even if no one else is.

I did notice the wings bore a similarity to the scimitar and the Eta 2.

Honestly though the model is not in my game, unless you are referring to v1.1. Otherwise I don't have it in my game, the icon is there, but you zoom in the model is a standard TIE Fighter.

Yeah, it's new. Pretty sure Ghost touched on that in his first post.
