I've had this one lying around for a while but had no time to finish it, now I just have to texture it and fix the EG's. Comments?

Looks like a hybrid of the USAF Stealth bomber (flat, pointy tail), the USAF F-111 fighter/bomber (shape of wings), and the IRD from XWA (fuselage & cockpit). Four laser cannons and 2 ion cannons makes for a powerful punch. This is a fighter/bomber, right?

 

With this sort of shape it ought to handle like the Toscan fighter or maybe the Planetary fighter--plenty of pitch but slow to roll. What type of flight model will you use?

I think it looks like a PZL-230F Skorpion without the canards or rudders. (How obscure is that?) I look forward to using it.

Maybe, just maybe my boys can stop'em from getting the book...yeah...and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot.

I made it up in my head as a heavy starfighter, the kind used to take the starch out of a Frigate commander's pants.

 

It's very fast for a heavy fighter (notice the size of the engines compared to the ship) but not as agile as most (only slightly better than an X-Wing). It's more of a boom-n-zoom type of fighter, and would need some light escort if high-speed defense fighters were around but it can usually look after itself.

 

Data

speed: 130 MGLT

Shield: 125 SBD

Hull: 45 RU

Roll: 42

Pitch: 20

 

Firepower

4x LaserCannon

2x TurboIon Cannon

10x Warheads

 

I need a name for it... any suggestions? I was going to call it a Wraith Medium Starfighter but that sounds more like an agile multirole type rather than a high speed strike fighter.

 

I get a chance to run XWA once a week if I'm lucky so as you can imagine this will probably not be completed anytime soon(thinking of making a cockpit too rolleyes.gif ).

Looks like a mini Dreadnaught to me. Maybe a Katana fighter? nah, nevermind. I'll stick to flying them.

You were expecting a creative sig?

Those were the good old days in TF.

I remember them like it was just yesterday. Wait a sec, I was playing it yesterday, du'h!

The cockpit seems way to large, compared to the size of the fighter. How many crew members ?

You know, as far as comparisons go, it's the P-47 Thunderbolt of the Star Wars era!

Sorry for the lack of response I've been looking for a new joint to live in

 

I like "Silverback", you don't want to mess with one of those fellas smile.gif.

 

It's a big ship, 28m long, it has 2 crew in a tandem cockpit, what would be a good size? I'm aiming for a medium-level technology era where 1-person fighters have only recently been developed by the terrans, that's why the ship looks kinda dated (IMO) compared to Starwars craft.

 

Here's a list of ship's I've built, they are all completed 3DS models but only four have been Opt'ed so far.

 

Civilian

Monolith-class Super Freighter

Atryx-class trans-atmospheric shuttle

 

Pirates

Typhoon-class Carrier (heavily modified Monolith Super Freighter)

Cutlass (Mod A) Fighter

Cutlass (Mod B) Assault Fighter

 

Terran Imperium

Pyros-class Frigate (finished)

"Voodoo" F/ATB-32 Torpedo Bomber

"Warhawk" F/MD-40 Medium Fighter

"Mamba II" F/HV-48 Heavy Fighter (done but needs textures)

"Silverback" F/HA-62 Heavy Assault Fighter (almost done, needs textures)

 

Scarbian Ta'Sect

"Blade" Droid Fighter (almost finished)

"DeathSong" Droid Controller Cruiser

 

btw, this is non-Starwars campaign
