OK, this is, as far as I know, the very first capital ship in XWA modding history that comes flyable and with an actual cockpit opt. OK, its shiptype isn't exactly capship, for a more sensible weapons configuration I set it to freighter, but anyway....



This sleek corvette is ShiCon Dynamics' first step into the construction of Capital ships. A fast and agile transport ship, mainly for the purpose of transport of higher class personnel and VIPs. Due to its flexibility and great agility the CSX-600 is suitable for many kinds of purpose, ranging from passenger lining to VIP transit and spec ops combat missions, each supported by a high customizability. The small rear hangar additionally enables the ship to carry an additional starfighter or land vehicle for reinforcements.



While armor and shields in the stock version are moderate, the ship's great speed and maneuverability make up for these flaws pretty well. Also a considerable arsenal of defence and offence weaponry found on customized military versions allows the CSX-600 to easily break through blockades, shake off followers or engage in quick hit-and-run assaults.



Recent breakthroughs in stealth plating technology have brought forth another modification that even made it into military line production. The CSX/S is a special stealth version developed by ESS scientists equipped with an effective stealth armor that hides the ship from most modern sensors without the necessity of a cloaking device.



The CSX-600 comes in two versions, one, generic grey one, which also features various FG colors, the other as an all dark stealth version, each with its individual cockpit OPT. Due to their general role in the project - and an apparrent lack of free slots, the two ships will by default replace the Corellian and Modified Corvete.





But enough ranting. Enjoy!

You can get the OPT at your local X-Wing HQ

Hmm, I think I should be reinstalling XWA after 5 years already..

Wait, XWA can also switch cockpit OPTs with FG colors? Or you have two different OPTs of the craft?

Yeah, XWA supports up to 4 Flightgroup colors for each kind of OPT, be it Base, Exterior or Cockpit. You can't change them in the Combat simulator, but using AlliEd to edit the very mission works perfectly.

Nothing much to do, you only have to name your Exterior or Cockpit OPT the same as your ship, e.g.
XWing
XWingExterior
XWingCockpit
and it'll automatically adopt the very flighgroup color you set it

As for the CSX-600, well, here I indeed have 2 Craft, the base version with 4 FG colors and the stealth version you see on the 5th picture.

Yeah, I know how the system works, I'd just never heard of anyone using the FG colors on the cockpit OPT.

ah, ok, well, like I said, it works just like with any other opt.

That cockpit is amazing!
I may have to load that baby into XWA!
