Stormclaw Assault Fighter

Update note

This OPT was released in mid 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 Alliance 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".

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.
