X-TIE Ugly 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.

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

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

CRAFT REPORT

Full Name: X-TIE Ugly
Ident. Code: X-TIE or UGLY
Designation: Space Inferiority Fighter
Manufacturer: Various, from Incom/Sienar components
In use by: Various
Size: 13.6 metres
Crew: 1
Performance:

SPEED	100 MGLT	SHIELDS	24 SBD
ACCELERATION	16 MGLT/s	HULL	10 RU
MANEUVERABILITY	80 DPF	CANNONS	1 or 2 lasers*
HYPERDRIVE	Fitted	WARHEADS	St. load 0 or 4*

Comments: "Uglies" or "chop-jobs" are hybrid starfighters built from whatever spare parts their manufacturer can find. The X-T, like many Uglies, is a poor fighter with the worst points of its component craft, in this case a TIE Fighter's wing panels welded onto an X-W cockpit.

* The X-Wing hull has two warhead launchers, each holding 4 missiles. Information in The Krytos Trap indicates that one of these is usually replaced with a laser cannon, to give an armament of one laser and four missiles. This configuration is difficult to use in a dogfight, as the single laser runs out quickly, so my downloadable version includes an alternative configuration with two lasers and no warheads.
