Description Created with Cinema 4D in April 25th, 2013.

That day I was playing the classic gameΒ X-Wing, and I got stuck in the 8th mission of the first Tour of Duty. After I stopped playing I thought that I had the 3D models for all the ships that appeared in there, so I decided to make a quick image inspired by it.

In the mission, you pilot a lone Y-Wing (Red One), and there's a group of transports flying towards a couple of Nebulon B frigates starting some 12 km away. All transports but two carry troopers and have to be destroyed, but the other two have Sullustan prisoners inside, so you have to disable them with ion cannons so they can be captured and boarded by other transports from the Alliance that will arrive later. Of course you don't know in advance which transports carry what, so you have to scan all of them by targeting them and flying closer than 20 meters of each.

Imperial pilots who called the Y-Wing 'The Flying Coffin' and refused to take it seriously as a threat very quickly learned what the Clone Wars-era scout bomber could do in the hands of a skilled pilot.

But still, flying an X-Wing after several Y-Wing missions in a row feels like SUCH an improvement

Oh yeah, there's no doubt. Then there's flying the B-Wing and being able to swat a corvette-type capital ship with one volley without even needing to use missiles. Nonetheless, the Y-Wing is a solid ship, especially if you angle the deflectors and use your ion cannon wisely.


I always loved the fact that Baron Soontir Fel, the Imperial Starfighter Legion's second best pilot behind Darth Vader, was eventually taken down by a Y-Wing that had lost one engine after he forgot that it's ion cannon could fire backwards! As Luke put it: "Your overconfidence will be your undoing!"

Hah, so true

And I haven't flown the B-wing in this game yet! We'll see how that goes…
