Vince T's X-Wing HQ Blog

Happy Easter everyone! And here goes another! Originally designed by Kyle_K_ski. Bridging the design gap between the Acclamator and the Venator, the massive Valiant translates its focus from a mere troop ship or carrier to the actual role of an offensive combat vessel Slightly larger than the Venator its firepower clearly excedes that of the Attack Cruiser. IMPORTANT: Hotfix for Battle over Coruscant Shipset! There is an issue with the current version of the Battle over Coruscant , which when uninstalling will delete some folders from the start menu, not only the one of the shipset. All who have installed the shipset so far, should download Bugfix before uninstalling the patch. The zipfile includes the fixed Uninstall to replace the old one. Meanwhile, a new version of the patch is in the works that will have the fix included as well as ... nah, I won't tell :D

It is done! The Battle over Coruscant Shipsetis now available! Almost two years of development, stagnation, testing and what not... Finally here it is! The ROTS Shipset: Battle over Coruscant is finally available for download. One of the most dramatic battles in Star Wars history is now yours to live through again. Fly your Actis Interceptor through a complete mayhem and try to rescue the Chancellor! Big Kudos to Darksaber who made the awesome looking new installer, which you can download by clicking the pic above. Also included in this shipset, is the brand-new Carrack Cruiser by General Ramos, (OPTed by DTM, Berruga and Darksaber). [Me from the Future]: Good one, kid! Could do with an update tho. Way more potential nowadays!

Another year gone, VXHQ goes into the 4th round and still kicking. So I wish all you folks a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May your dreams and plans become reality And, like I promised, here's my New Year's present: The Diamond-class Space Station!   The Diamond Station is now available for download. Only few other models have undergone such radical changes in their design phase as this one - the very first version looked pretty similar to a Death Star.... Diamond Stations were built as massive defense stations in orbit over planet Bricera during the Family war between the Vaylon and Khisar Clan. With a diameter of almost 10 km this powerful battle station can stand well against a whole enemy fleet, while its barely countable laser turrets make it more than a match for any attacker. [Me from the Future]: 4 years ... gee that's a long way back! So young and naive were we!

It's this time of the year again! Here's an early XMAS-Present: The Dominance-class Battlecruiser! The Dominance, like the Warhammer, is one of the oldest models I have made so far (although massively upgraded through the years), which makes me very pleased to have completed this one after all the time. The huge Dominance-Class Battlecruiser, like the Warhammer, is the product of collaboration between the Corellian Empire and the ESS. Designed and constructed shortly after the foundation of the ESS it takes design elements of classical imperial ships like the old Vengeance- and Venator-class combined with high-end ESS weapons and shield technology. These elements make it the ultimate next generation warship combining the roles of command ship, carrier and destroyer. [Me from the Future]: Ehm, it's called a Supercarrier now!

Finally done: A ship that is older than this site itself, the Warhammer-class Heavy Cruiser!  This is one of the very first original designs I ever made. Evolved from a rather simple comic sketch this coloss has finally turned into a fully fledged OPT - yay me! :D The Warhammer-Class Heavy Cruiser introduces a new generation of heavy warships that make the link between normal and super-heavy battleships almost six kilometers in length the Warhammer is superior to any common destroyers and cruisers, while state-of-the-art propulsion systems enable it to easily outmaneuver super-class ships.

Well, this is sort of the last one for the Dhilani ships. As of now this is the last core model to be done for the Blue Phantom Project. There are some more models in consideration but they haven't reached a final approval stage yet. So for the moment, this is the last one, bringing the project range to a nice 49 OPTs. The lightly armed Stingray is a small personnel transport that is mainly used by Dhilani high honorables and statesmen. Although it is capable of long-distance travel, it's yet mostly used for short-range journeys, as Dhilani officials prefer the safety of heavily armed battleships for longer journeys.

Been long enough!, time for a new release! While this ship is not (yet) official part of the Blue Phantom Project, but still it has become part of the TBPP universe through multiple battle threads over at the XWA Upgrade boards. An old sketch, which I had originally drawn for a Dhilani troop transport, would step up as the design for this heavy battle cruiser. [Me from the Future]: Of course it's part of the Project ye dimwitt! Oh and I renamed it Despot-class Cruiser now. Inferno II remains as the actual ship's name tho!
