Stormclaw Assault Fighter v1.1

Update note

This OPT was released (as version 1) on 1st August 1999; this is a re-release with my old address removed from the readme.

When this model was created, the XvT/XWA mod tools were still fairly crude, but they'd advanced far enough to allow entirely original models. This one is based on a sketch I did while bored in an Art lesson; the mesh is identical to the X-Wing vs TIE Fighter version I made at the same time.

This mod may be copied and distributed non-commercially, as long as due credit is given and it is not modified (in particular, this notice must be preserved). It comes with NO WARRANTY, express or implied, including any implied warranty of "fitness for purpose".

No patches are available yet, but suggested statistics are shown below. Most are similar to the Toscan Fighter (the Tos/F is a bit slower and tougher), so you could just replace ToscanFighter.opt with the Stormclaw's OPT file for now.

Performance:

SPEED	90 MGLT	SHIELDS	60 SBD
ACCELERATION	15 MGLT/s	HULL	20 RU
MANEUVERABILITY	75 DPF	CANNONS	4 las., 2 ion cn.
HYPERDRIVE	Fitted	WARHEADS	St. load 8

Comments: A well-constructed multi-role craft, fast enough to hold its own in a dogfight and strong enough to be used for heavy attack purposes. Popular with small organisations such as pirates and smugglers, which cannot afford to maintain separate interceptor and bomber squadrons.
