In case anyboy asks: This is not the BSG Viper. XD



Since the first one only had a base model yet you will be starting the TBP campaign flying one, I decided very early to add a cockpit and exterior version to the Viper. So, while being cut off from the internet and spending time tweaking around on the Executor I also found some time to greatly further my efforts on this one. So here it finally is, complete with cockpit and Exterior model.



One of the first fighters of ShiCon's XT-series has been designed and constructed thirty years before the foundation of the United Planets. For many years this long range starfighter was the primary defence force in the common areas of the later UPA territory.



The Viper's design is compact and simple and practically oriented. Fairly large to todays standards it was yet revolutionary in its very combat-worthy esign that yet left the pilot enough room to easily move and, in fact, set his seat backwards and rest during long-range flights.



When the Victory Fighter was developed the outdated Vipers were sold to museums and private buyers.




The design idea for the cockpit: When looking at the development from the XT-250 Victory towards the XT-300 Piranha, design and technology evolved from lots of buttons and many separate screens to fewer buttons and large multifunctional touch-screens. Thus when reverting technological advances to the XT-100 Viper, I'd greatly increase the number of buttons, switches while making the screens smaller and fewer in number - less to see, more to press :D.

Sweet as always Vince. Its gonna look especialy awesome in game. Can i assume there will be lights onthe lazer barrels as per the pictures? And will the cockpit be so bright? Its gonna make it a little difficult to see fighters then right? Just think how hard TIEs are to see normally. . .v
