(Archive) XWA Community Flash

Been quiet around this site lately, but that's not to worry. The reason is I'm in the process of drastically revamping the Blue Phantom Project site in style, layout and structure, which takes some time. For now have a look at the latest addition to my WIP section, the Predator-Class Star Destroyer! Meanwhile, the XWA Community lives on and supplies us with lots of new goodies again and again. So where to start....

Updated Assault Shuttle


While working on his awesome Skipray Blastboat, Marco Antonio Malheiros has taken some time and revised parts of his XWAU Assault Shuttle, modifying the hull so the wings would appear flippable like those of the Lambda-class shuttle. Very well done upgrade I must say. You can get it over at Darksaber's site!

New OPT releases on MTD Industries

With the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, DTM has released a brilliant translation of the R-22 Spearhead, based on an old A-Wing Concept art by Ralph McQuarrie. Also, you can now download the Acclamator-Class Troopship by Berruga, which so far was only available with the Battle over Coruscant Shipset. Go check them out at MTD Industries!

XWA Community RSS Feed, Newsletter & Search engine

Finally modern internet technology has arrived at the XWA community as well. In recent months, Jefe Picaro has set up a newsletter and an RSS feed for XWA Community news and only short time later, established a community-wide search engine. Find out more at X-Wing Legacy or his site!
