Cloakshape Bomber v1.1

Update note

This OPT was released (as version 1) on 21st August 1999; this is a re-release with my old address removed from the readme.

This is a quick hack based on X-Wing Alliance's Cloakshape Fighter and TIE Bomber models.

This mod comes with NO WARRANTY, express or implied, including any implied warranty of "fitness for purpose".

CRAFT REPORT

Full Name: Cloakshape Bomber Ugly
Ident. Code: Clk/B or UGLY
Designation: Assault Fighter
Manufacturer: Various, from Sienar/Kuat components
In use by: Various
Size: 19 metres
Crew: 1

Comments: An Ugly hybrid fighter made by merging a damaged TIE Bomber's bomb bay with a much-modified Cloakshape Fighter. Carries a good bomb load, but the extra mass is really too much for its single ion engine, giving poor performance. Many pilots refuse to fly Uglies, and only the most desperate resort to monstrosities like this.
