Vince T's X-Wing HQ Blog

It's taken a long time, I was hesitating, but since the project's reaching a stage where a completion is in sight, I think it's only just that I set up a forum all for it. Well, in fact it's not least Mateus Borges's credit, who went live with his ADP Forum just recently, that I finally decided to set one up , man I'm such a copyist :D! But after all, this might not be the worst idea, so I can put my thoughts and ideas down and receive feedback on them withouth having to update my site everytime or filling the XWAU Boards with tons of 'unrelated' stuff. So, without further ado... Welcome to the Blue Phantom Forum!   This will be the place for everything around my little XWA Project, its status, development and the things in life that do or do not matter. Of course, I won't abandon the XWAU and other boards. New releases and critical updates will be posted there like before. The new forum is just for the things going past normal mod announcements. So ...

Out of the blue comes a new and never before known or mentioned ship, the heavily armed Dhilani Planetary Invasion Lander.     Carried in groups of three by the mighty Dhilani Trident Battleships, these Landing juggernauts are the workhorses of the Dhilani Invasion Forces. Combining the functionalities of ground bombardment and troop transport they are flying fortresses designed to conquer rebellious worlds. The bottom side of the Invasion Lander is covered by a multitude of heavy energy Turrets that create a carpet of fire and ashes beneath the massive ship, making sure no resistance is in the deployment area.

XWA goes sub-marine! I had this lying around for ages with only a last tidbit left to be done. It is now ;). Finally the second version of my Cophuran surface is done and available for download. So what's new? All new underwater environment Skybox, a today's standard for planetary surfaces Engine glows create a bit of realism making the underwater environment less clear :) some more cool stuff

Presenting the Victory II-Class Star Destroyer The circle is now complete. Finally the XWA Upgrade Victory II-class Star Destroyer is completed. The VSD2 brings along all the resemblances of the VSD1, while introducing new features, like no more wings, a new engine layout as well as a greater firepower delivered by the newly added 2x4 twin batteries near the rear. Along with this release I took the time and beefed up the VSD1 as well so there is no difference in quality between the two. Update 1.3: 2005-12-20: Republic VSD By popular demand here it is, the Republic style Victory I-class Star Destroyer, a modification of my standard VSD featuring the typical red markings of the Republic fleet. Furthermore it comes with four different flightgroup colors, which change/remove the respective fleet logo.  [Me from the Future]:  Argh, that wingless design rubs me until today! Good thing I got rid of that!
