[KARMA]

for the models
tf,ti,td,xw,yw(old model)
near completion aw, ta, eclipse
in progress: gunboat, vsd/isd , z95, maybe slave1 and shuttle,
and there already is also a lot of stuff between interface,tables,weapons and so over

[Killfrenzy]

Ship-wise for a decent TC you'll need AT LEAST what was in TIE-Fighter. X-Wing Alliance's ship list would be better.

Sounds like a plan  I have been waiting for access to the FSPORT directory for weeks and weeks.  Shrike has had the request, but i don't even think he's forwarded it to Gamespy yet.  Perhaps if you PM him to try to get him to do it...

[Galemp]

Stealth, this may sound crazy, but... why not TRY to access /hlp/hosted/fsport/? Maybe you DO have access.

As for the wish list, I think we should concentrate on what we saw in the movies first (X-wing, T/B etc.) Then the more commonly accepted ships (VSD, Z-95 etc.) Then we can do the infrastructure and lesser-known models.

I agree - you should definitely have the TIE Bomber in the required list - the Empire doesn't really have any other bomber that's canon.

what about the gun boat and the other ship that look similar (i don't remeber the name) thay apper on the TIE FIGHTER GAME

EDIT: the names were  

XG-1 "Assault Gunboat"

Cygnus Missile Boat

They never appeared in the movies. Movies = canon. Therefore, they != canon.

SUre, once you finish all the canon stuff, I'd suggest that those be among the first stuff to put in. Just not at the expense of the TB.

[KARMA]

i give priority to assault gunboat simply because tiebomber doesn't have ion cannons
the only other imperial fighter with ions is the tie defender that isnt a very common ship so gunboat is simply more necessary than tb for mission designing needs

[Galemp]

I agree with Sandwich here.

so gunboat is simply more necessary than tb for mission designing needs

...but we're initally making a shipset. Additional ships for play balance can come later. By the time serious FREDding starts we will have a large library, suitable for a variety of missions. The gunboat will defintely be done by then, I hope.

[Stealth]

i think PERSONALLY you should make all fighters/bombers seen in episode 4, 5, and 6.  I say forget episode 1 and 2 (and three), that can be an expansion pack for a later date.

I think the following should be available for 'player ships'

Y-Wing
A-Wing
X-Wing
B-Wing

and all these as 'special' ships (like the SF DRAGON was a special ship in FS1)

TIE Fighter
TIE Interceptor
TIE Bomber
Advanced TIE Fighter

and of course there's the endless list of 'big' or capital ships, as well as smaller ships, like transports, etc.  
have you decided what races there's going to be?  
just the two, right?

[Galemp]

Riiight...

Yeah, this is gonna ba an Original Trilogy shipset at first. Maybe some prequel stuff later, we'll see. You will be able to fly Rebel and Imperial fightercraft on both sides of the war. More like an X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Balance of Power type thing than X-Wing Alliance, where you could only be a Rebel pilot.

[KARMA]

about the gunboat/tb question, the point is pretty simple because i already started ages ago a gunboat mesh, so i'll finish it first (maybe i'll give it for textures to codedog when i'll start immediatly the tb), for the others, as player ships there will surely be also millenium falcon (yt1300), shuttle, maybe assault transport (for all the docking, assaulting ships, crew kidnapping mission needs)

[Killfrenzy]

The problem with limiting to just the ships that appear in the movies, is that you have a major problem with variety. No freighters appear in the movie, so for X-Wing LucasArts had to create one. Likewise the transports.

Not limiting - concentrating on.

[Galemp]

Yep. We do them first and then flesh out the rest of the ships we need.

What about copyright and TM's?

I Demand Ewing and Tie Defender-age!!!

[Star Dragon]

Isn't there a huge transport/frieghter in the beginning of Empire when the rebels evacuate the base you see them leaving? Leia says "get to your transports" but they could be used as frieghters too right?
