Star Wars Dogfighter started as an attempt to make a simple, fun multiplayer version of 'Roids originally entitled Roids Arena. Where in players would fly thier ships around a giant arena and blast eachother. Initially, there would be three ships to choose from: heavy assualt, the classic ship and a light fighter, all were models taken from Qtank :) Over time I reluctanty, and only at the urging of several people I knew (Akuma) added "Star Wars mode" that replaced the ships with Star Wars counterparts (initially just X-Ying or TIE). I made the promise that if enough models could be made or converted for all kinds of Star Wars ships the entire mod would go Star Wars. That eventually did happen. A lot of the original Roids Arena concept remains: the power control system that confuses so many people is one such element. Also, the ships are still defined in classes for each side, but this was done more to make balanced gameplay than anything else. Getting good gameplay for this...

Description

This probably was an earlier shot than the rest as
there isn't quite as much smoke or debris,
either that or I managed to capture the explosion
just as it occured. I think the latter.

I spent a lot of time flying around the TIE
advanced, during testing the TIE-A had a fully
functional hyper drive with 30 blasts in it and it
was great to zoom around the map, fight a little,
and zoom out. You can even use the hyperdrive as a
weapoin, but be careful not to while on max power
on the engines :)
