[X-Wing Series] Cygnus XG-1 Starwing Assault Gunboat

[pheeph]

Anyone remember playing the Star Wars X-Wing series games? I'm recreating various craft from X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance. This craft was used by the Empire and it was seen in all the X-Wing games. The Cygnus XG-1 Starwing Assault Gunboat. This craft may not be the best at dogfighting, but it was heavily armed...

I seriously wished they had square intakes and rectangular structures...

This thing can go past Mach 2 in a short time...

It has reached orbit!

Love it although my encounter with the craft was as a pilot in TIE-Fighter.. good days.. still good to this day if you can fire it up on dosbox.. how I wish games were still that good.. atleast we have KSP

Nice gunboat! Although you've forgot some things - namely ion cannons (in the tailroot) and missile racks (should be in place of intakes).

Yes but .. this one actually flys..

Say we slap Twin Ion Engines on the back of a TIE fighter as per prototypical specifications... it'll be a long long time before anyone gets anywhere.. perhaps end of the runway.. not so much a galaxy far far away.. it'll still be far far away for the rest of eternity no?

I first encountered the Assault Gunboat in X-Wing. They're a much bigger nuisance than TIE Bombers as they tend to fire missiles at you a lot and that was annoying.

Yeah, I uploaded this before I thought about the ion cannon bit... I should have placed antennae in the tailroot... missile racks, I was more concerned the flight capability of the ship... and thought that placing something at the intake area might affect the ship's flight.
