Redscale R-41 Starchaser WIP...

I think this design used for the XWAupgrade is much better when trying to to a deckplan of the ship than the blocky-low-detail model that used Totaly Games in the X-wing series.

But is just my point of view. This could be a Modified version of the stock starshatter.

Stats of the ship.

And another design that fits more with the original model, Here.

The model is 13.91 meters in Length. Still big but the pilot don't seem dwarfed in the interior of ****pit.

I recomend aplying the principals I discussed in the Cloakshape Fighter Thread to this ship, and you may find that there is still plenty of development yet to be done. I agee, a very nice start, but a start is far from a finished product. emoticon

Edit: Dumb signature removed.

I genuinely believe Uwe Boll could've done a better job with the prequels.

Re: Bluescale R-41 Starchaser WIP


I actually did my own version of the R-41 Starchaser years ago for a character I played in a a campaign.

I pictured it more of a long-range escort fighter. Room for a bunk and such. A tiny cramped cabin.

I even did some sketches of the how limited the head room would be in the cabin upon demand from the GM.

would it be possible to show us what you've done? I would be very interested in seeing this ship completed.

Still haven't found the deckplans but I found the stats we used for it:

The R-41 Starchaser

The R-41 Starchaser was released to the mainstream marketplace just shortly before Admiral Zarrin's mutiny against the Empire. FreiTek used this increased attention lavished upon starfighters to their great advantage. Timed for release at the pinnacle of a quick yet intense holonet publicity campaign, the Starchaser was snapped up in record numbers (Selling over 150,000 units in just a week). Marketed as a reasonably priced starfighter, small mercenary groups, planetary defense forces and more . . . unsavory individuals suddenly found a space superiority fighter well within their budget.

For two years, the Starchaser sold in rather respectable numbers. The ship was cheap and easy to maintain, they were inexpensive and competitive more higher profile fighters, and people were generally happy with the product Things were looking quite bright for the company. It, however, was not to last.

For some mysterious reason that puzzles consumer analysts to this day, the bottom dropped out on the Starchaser. In the fourth year of production, nobody was buying the product anymore. This coupled with the company's over-expansion into non-starship areas, bad management decisions and a hostile buy-out by rival cooperation Fireworld Stardrives, caused FreiTek to fall apart faster than a Death Star. The remaining stock on hand was bought up and liquidated, and all FreiTek capital went to silence creditors.

Despite the parent company's financial implosion, the Starchaser sold in enough numbers to be a moderately common ship, and can be found plying the space-lanes even now.
