Time for me to tie up some loose ends! By far my oldest WIP to be completed! By now the Exterior has found its way into several PC game mods (e.g. for Freelancer) but finally here is the real thing! The TIE Reaper is a heavy Assault Fighter developed around 12 ABY. Heavily armed and with strong shields it’s fit to both dish out large amounts of damage while being able to shrug off a lot of damage punishment and accomplish its goals even under heavy fire. [Me from the Future]: Blegh! Who knew later that year Disney would come in, buy the whole franchise, mess everything up and claim that particular ship name for themselves? Had to rename it to TIE Revenant.

Taken my sweet time with this one - for good reasons! The GT-Series is ShiCon Dynamics’ entry into the medium transport class, a new line of state-of-the-art combat transports bridging the gap between yachts and corvettes. With about 60 meters in length this combat vehicle adapts the features, the speed and and combatability of the successful BRX-Yacht series while allowing for much larger space and cargo capacities. The GT-5000 Transport comes in 3 variations: The GT-5000 Stock version The GTS Nighthawk, very fast stealth ship The GTX Corsair, designed on offensive combat Each variant has its individual models, including Exterior and Cockpit. For the stock GT-5000 this goes as far as having the entire ship interior and letting you choose, where you want to be sitting. [Me from the Future]: What were you thinking when designing the GTX? How's that thing supposed to land?!? You still have much to learn, young one!

Seriously now?! HELLZ YEAH! After 5 years in the making - awaited for over 10 years, it is finally done: The biggest and baddest capital ship ever XWA-UPed! Almost 15.000 faces, and pretty much any other virtual limit in XWA has been ruthlessly maxed out - or simply ignored - for this baby. Model and textures were originally made by talented 3d artist Enterprise E and have undergone heavy revisions and expansions by Dragon and myself. At that point, I'd like to officially welcome Dragon as the XWA Upgrade's newest team member! Well done, mate! Only thing left to say: * * * HAPPY NEW YEAR ! * * * New OPTs by DTM No newspost without him.

Head over to MTD Industries and get your fix of DTM goodness!
