Vince T's X-Wing HQ Blog

OK, Halloween's over, but that's no reason to stop the creeping :). The TIE Vampire and TIE Vampire Mk2 are a colaboration between Darksaber and myself. The TIE Vampire is the first ship that was built in collaboration between Sienar Fleet Systems and the relatively young company ShiCon Dynamics. Fast, agile and well balanced it is an excellent multi-role fighter. Due to its high costs, it's only reserved for the best fighter squadrons and thus has gained the reputation of being an elite fighter. The TIE Vampire MkII is an advanced version of the TIE Vampire which is fitted with a new prototype of stealth plating known by the codename "cold skin". Like a 'real' vampire that has neither measurable body temperature nor a reflection, this new technology hides the ship from both visual and biothermical scanners.  

OK, here is it. Chedalon, home planet of Lady Shiromy Vaylon, is now available for download. It features a deep exotic rain forest with a waterfall and a hidden cave used as base by the chedalonian rebels.  

Cophuran the high-tech world and tropical paradise - NOW AVAILABLE!! Turquoise water in warm shallow oceans, so clear you can see the ground, white sand beaches on tropical islands. This is Cophuran, homewordl of Vince Trageton. Now it's available for download!.  

 OK, I've made some general Updates to the site. It should now work adequate for lower resolutions as well. I hope you like the Additions! Also, I've redesigned the Links Page and added a few links, as well as a banner for those who want to link to this site.

Dhilon: Hibrana Highlands & Hibrana Aftermath are now available for download. This pack features 2 planetary surfaces that resemble the Dhilani capital before and after the UPMF's massive and devastating strike against the planet Dhilon. The first surface is a wide landscape with a few steep canyons and a huge pit, in which the dhilani capitol Dhalarona Prime lies. But this area is just the op of the iceberg. The major Dhilani population lives in a wide cave system beneath the surfaces, so go and dig 'em out! :) The second surface doesn't feature any tunnels, caves, canyons or pits. All it comes up with is a 25 km big crater created by the SBC Warrior's fusion cannon    

The UPMF's workhorse in heavy combat is now available for downoad! With moderate speed and heavy weaponry it's ideal for heavy assautl duties. Update 2003-08-31: I've made a small update to the Dragonfly. It now has proper hitznones and explosion types for your shooting pleasur.  [Me from the Future]: Meh, still haven't managed to finish any attempt on a remake since the initial release! And there's been a few by now!

(Retrieved from my old webiste Archive) The planetary surface of Bricera is now available for download. It features a nice grassy plain with some hills as well as a complex cave system below the surface Update 1.1 2003-08-27:   Thanks to Master Qui-Gon the disappearing bug has been removed to a certain degree. The surface now works properly up to a resolution of 1024x768. Update 1.2 2003-09-06:   Now, that I've figured out how to add vertical engine glow, I have added some kind of lava fountains to the volcanic areas. Don't get too close :)

 I have added some pics for the Imperial Hangar and fixed quite a few bugs: - The Starships section is now entitled correctly - The links in the Fighters section now lead you where they should - Several other bugs. (thanks to Alan Bolte for the feedback!)

(Retrieved from my old website) So here we go! This is the Beta-version of my new TBP site! The sections are working and so are the downloads! Next I will add more bits of information to all the ships. If you have any further suggestions/critics, let me know! Update: I have updated the models section and have added progress information
