Darksaber has made an update to the BoC Shipset installer, including a 'mod check'. This script, when running the installer will check if there are any mods already installed like Darksaber's Ultimate Craft Pack (DSUCP) or the Crusade3 mod.  While this is already in the FAQ, recent events suggest that I point it out again: The BoC Shipset has to be installed on a clean install of X-Wing Alliance. It IS NOT designed or intended to run parallelly with mods like the DSUCP or Crusade3. [Me from the Future]: That last bit was a dumb decision back then! Who knew the DSUCP and XWAUCP would become the meta for modern XWA? One more reason to update the bloody thing!

And here goes another. Another model based on an ANCIENT comic drawing I made sometime last century. The Predator was the ESS' first line-produced star destroyer to create the backbone of royal fleet. With a length of over two kilometers the Predator clearly surpasses its imperial cousin, the Imperator I and II-class in both size and sheer power.

Finally here it is, the updated version of the BoC Shipset. So, what's new? Well, it now 'officilly' features the Valiant. Next I made quite a lot of fixes to the mission, ship stats and sound lists. Also, Darksaber has made some tweaks to the installer which now also features a nice launcher that works well with localized versions of XWA. A must-have for every fan of this epic battle. New features: Included the Valliant-Class Cruiser  Added some more radio messages Fixes: Fixed some of the ship statistics that were incorrect in the previous versions Fixed an issue in the sound list that would cause some of the sounds not being played Fixed a mission bug that would cause Obi-Wan to land too early Some other minor updates to the mission Fixed the uninstall executable that was corrupted in v1.0 Fixed the installer to add a desktop and quicklaunch icon Fixed the launcher to work properly with international versions of XWA Valiant-Cruiser Update v1.1 Next, along with this updat...
