May 16, 2000: New section added: "How to add Ships to XWA"
Long and often enough I have been asked the same question over and over again. Now there's a section of it's own on how to do it.
April 29, 2000: Sad news for the community - Datamasters Site shot down!
A long time it was the very center of the X-Wing Communuty on the web. Many major breakthroughs in research and editing come from the staff and visitors. But now Datamasters Site is history.
Defiant wrote a letter to all visitors, explaining what happened.
Here's the last News Message at
Datamasters...
... and here's the new place to go:

March 07, 2000: First Test of new Big Asteroid and Space Slug in XWA
Impressive, but disappointing as well - both opts give me a hard time with graphics glitches, the Asteroid with big portions of dissappearing faces also... and I've no clue what to do about it at the moment, as the facecount per mesh is rather low. Well, I'll see...
Here are the latest slug pics - this time XWA in game! (the few view angles without problems...)
March 06, 2000: preparing the Big Asteroid, I discovered something thrilling:
"THIS IS NO CAVE!!!"
March 05, 2000: Galactica for XWA redone. Now with illuminated textures!
Thanx to the new OptEnhancer I was now able to redo the textures to have them illuminated.
Get the OPT hereHere are some pics:
January 26, 2000: Galactica: The second Coming Scarlet Viper in the works
In the trailer for his new BSG movie to come, Richard Hatch (aka Captain Apollo) features a new Viper design. The movie will be set around 20 yahrens after the original series (if ever to be finished). For more info check Richard Hatchs http://www.battlestargalactica.com.
The new Viper is an evolutionary devellopment from the original Viper. More info here.
Some pics from Rhino model and the original design concept by used for the trailer:
December 30: Some more Galactica ships to be OPTed
Well, in the meantime I started to work on some more ships. The Colonial Shuttle is a model of my own, while the two Argroships DXF are made by Marcos Edson. Thanks, Marcos!
Pleas note that the ships are only pre-textured to check the model in game!
December 21: Big asteroid ALPHA ready for download
I got the first beta release ready, shouldn't make to much problems anymore. I had to split several meshes in two or three new ones. There's a XWA film included to show in the film room (se readme.txt).
December 20: Big asteroid in the works!
Well, I read the Athmospheric Shipset needs the big asteroid and decided to give it a try. DXF finnished so far (1738 faces)! Only got some probs in ACE - I get an error when saving to OPT...
Hehe, had much fun making some screenshots! (now I need to go to bed. 5:50 am)
December 9: Battlestar Galactica for XvT/BoP 1.0 released: Battlestar_BoP.zip (722kB)
I finally fixed some bugs in the latest beta and decided to release the final version. It is for XvT/BoP only at the moment, bacause I wanna find out why the turrets won't rotate in XWA before releasing the XWA version (picture).
This final release for XvT/BoP also has about 120 turbolasers, docking points, launchers....
The only annoying bug that still remains, is this weird rotating and spinning of meshes when it is destroyed. I can't find the reason for it, but maybe I'm blinded in some way. If you know more, please drop me a line!Don't forget: the opt has FLIGHTGROUP TEXTURES to give it the proper name banner at the hangar side. Currently available are:
Galactica (red)
Pegasus (gold)
Prometheus (blue) - this one's needed for "The Path not taken"
Atlantia (green)
If someone needs other names, no big deal. We can just exchange textures.
Well, here are some more nice pics:

Oktober 21: I got a new Rhino Demo working and fiddled with the cockpit again.
This is what ACE makes out of it (but went into some bug with jumping faces in XWA):
Hehe... got that face from a preview pic of the new Galactica Revival trailer
And here's XWA, only cockpit textured (and seen from the few angles without XWA making a jumping face chaos):
Oktober 12: I fiddled around with some nice dxfs, lets see what Steele and I will get out of this one (still DXF stadium):
August
31: Steele releases Beta of his new VIPER!
(visit Steele Aerospace)
This is the Picture of the Week:
August 21: Battlestar Galactica Beta 4.0 released
I finnished the texture work and added more lasers. Now she has 40 turbolasers and 26 superlasers.
And of course - engine glows. Have to do them manually for every new beta release, X-ED only edits the exported OPT file :-(Download here: XvT/Bop (661kB) • XWA (662kB)
Here are some pics where you can see the new textures:
August 18: Battlestar Galactica Beta 3.71 released
She's got several textures added (mainly aft section) and - engine glows!
Here are some screenshots taken in XWA:
side view - half throttle
Full throttle!
front port hangar Size comparison: Millenium Falcon in front starboard hangar
August 07: Finally! The first Official of Beta Battlestar Galactica -(Version 3.6) released!
There are still some textures to be done, for XWA the engins glows are still not fixed. Maybe she'll get some more lasers...
Here are the latest BoP screenshots:
