Alright, this one's for my granny who turned 74 today!! One more OPT done for the Blue Phantom Project. The UPMF-style hangar will replace the default or upgrdaed Calamari Hangar and add a bit more of a TBPP feeling to the game. Enjoy!

Whee, that was a quick one! OK, after upgrading the BRX series ships, I went on in my cockpit-flash and reworked another flyable craft: The fast and furious Piranha. Like the recent releases it now also has a proper cockpit and Exterior model.

Well, I've been teasing you long enough! This time I present you not one but FOUR OPTs at a time. OK, admittedly, they're rather similar, but it's the little differences that make life interesting, right? So... Two revisions and two new releases is what I have here. By now most people know the BRX-700 Combat Yacht and the notorious Barracuda. After those two were released I had decided pretty soon that they needed to be redone, needed a cockpit and more detail. So I started reworking them. In the process of reworking the ships - and in the course of several Battle Threads a new ship found my intenrest, the Black Scorpion. With some more head-twisting hours of conceptioning I finally had the perfect background. Like Vasudra and Otana in original XWA were the player's personal ships, the Black Scorpion is the property of official TBP player character Mryna Qhalic. To make things more interesting - and justify some rather exotic design ideas I whipped together the 'Sco...

This day will be long remembered! Well .. at least I hope ;) Finally, after months of waiting here's a new release for your Dhilani collection. Not only that, it is as well the last of the capital ships that needed to be completed. Only a handful other objects remain to be done to finish the modelling part for the Blue Phantom Project!. The Dhilani Leviathan is the pride and the heart of the Dhilani space armada. 5.7 kilometers in length it is supreme to any other vessel of its time.

Scratch one more Dhilani Cruiser!  The Dhilani Mammoth is now finished and available for download! This ship has been derived from teh Dhilani Warbird and acts as carrier and tactical communications platform for the Dhilani's dreadded fighter swarms. That's it for now. Go out there and have fun! ;)

Again?! No seriously, that was faster than I had expected - I had planned at least one or two months for this one! :o!!  The Dhilani Warbird is the primary killing machine within the Dhilani armada, a warship designed for a single purpose: destruction.  That's it for now. Go out there and have fun! ;)

Booya, there goes another! Finally, the first real Dhilani Capital ship, the mighty Trident , is completed and ready for download!  The Dhilani Trident acts as both troop carrier and battleship and is one of the most common ships encountered in Dhilani Invasion fleets. That's all this time, I think. Luckily the XWAU has some new stuff coming up soon. ;)
