Hmm... I thought I did, but I can't find anything. It's basically the first complete chapter of Star Wars: X-Wing - Rogue Squadron. Go hop by a Borders or Barnes & Nobles and read it. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Go grab The Bacta War and Wraith Squadron while you're at it, you can get a whole string of mini campaigns from that series of books.  You can probably actually get full length campaigns from a couple, not to mention what you could do if you just strung the whole thing into one giant thing :D

My thoughts exactly, but I wanted to start small. ;)

why not just port x wing?  as in xwing the simulator.  I am sure you have it.  I think it would rock.

Bacta War, Wraith Squadron, Iron Fist, Solo Command, Isards Revenge, and Starfighters of Adumar could all make their own full campaigns... not to mention te thrawn trillogy, and the 2 after them, and some others...

Only if you can do terrain, and don't forget Rogue Squadron, and Wedge's Gamble.  Flying through the city in the middle of the night, shooting up TIEs would make for a heck of a lot of fun.  You'll probably only get minicampaigns out of those two though.

The events of the Bacta War novel would make an amazing mini-campaign.

You could make several missions the parts when the Rogues hijack bacta convoys.  Another could be the battle in the Alderran Graveyard against the VSD Corrupter.  The last mission would be the actual Battle of Thyferra against the Lusankya and the THDC fighter wings.  

The only models you would need would be the SSD, ISDII, VSDII, an Alderreeian War Frigate, 3 or 4 freighter designs (like the Pulsar Skate, Bacta tankers, and freighters in the final battle), X-Wing, TIE/Ln, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber (For the Gand fighters), and the Deathseeds (don't remember their description)

W00T!!!!!!! POST 100:yes: :yes:
I've waited a whole TWO, thats right TWO years for this moment:D :nod:

Deathseed: X-wing wings mounted on a rotating collar, TIE ball cockpit in the center.  Ion engines for propulsion, fusion engines for weapons and shield power.  Can't remember for sure and I'm too lazy to dig it up, but I'm pretty sure they also carry missiles.

What about those Clone War ships? I got a comic that has the first Tie looking fighter in it. take a Y-wings big Ion Engines, then pout the Ties pod in the middle, with X-wing theamed Lasers, where they are on the Tie it's funny looking, but it can take quite a beating from the battle in the comic, they could mount trops on em.
