Sword Squadron

By DB Draft, in X-Wing

This is so good....

Nice story telling!

Need any help?

By the way, I write music for film. If you need some music.

Any help is always appreciated, be it story ideas or more technical support/advice. Obviously I am trying to fit the story around the classic trilogy but will be trying to include all the new ship models as well. I cannot do anything fancy like Millennium Falsehood did in the "special editions" from a visual perspective. I like the idea of a music score and have no problem if you want to use the images in some other medium (youtube?).

"born to lose": I only recently managed to get a working copy of TIE Fighter and X Wing to work on my computer so I was suitably inspired to try a "cockpit view"!

Well. I was skeptical because there's no way I'd make music for every comic or something. It takes a while... lol.

Yeah. I'd love to get in on some story writing or something though. My EU lore isn't too good though.

I think the EU is pretty much "open season" these days with the new direction Episode VII is likely to go. So adapting fictional interpretations in a fictional universe is fine by me. I haven't read any EU books and the whole point of Sword Squadron was to look at a "no name" unit, grunts in space type storyline. They will probably be involved on the major battles but won't steal the limelight from the heroes... too much!

I really like that idea. Yeah.

So any idea of what to do next? PM maybe.

If I knew how to send a PM I would! :unsure:

I'm glad this is back always a good read

Just found this thread but I love it already. Great work, cool story!

Also, how awesome is TIE fighter game? My favourite flight sim from back in the day... (back in the day? Must be getting old...) Where did you find a working copy?

The ebay seller "allvideo" has these, you buy the original CDs and they also give you an install CD with the working game that is compatible with XP Vista and Windows 7 and 8.

DB Draft: You can send me a PM by clicking on my name and doing it within the profile page.

So: What ships constitute Sword Squadron so far?

By the way, I noticed you can put 4 Adv Sen B-wings in a list. How's that for another "generic" squad?

Also, those Womp Rats look amazing. How did you paint those?

Cool now I know how to send a PM!

Sword Squadron originates as a Y wing squadron, but I can see them possibly getting reequipped with B Wings in the future.

I cannot take any credit for the amazingly well painted Womp Rats, these are from Rodent Mastermind. You should really check out his other work.

Blail Blerg: I have tried sending a PM but it doesn't seem to let me post it, ie: it does not do anything when I hit the post button. Could be the computer I am working from. Maybe try PMing me?

Wicked, thanks for the tip!
