Here we see the origional model made by "Totally Games" for comparison purposes.

     The planetary Fighter gets it's namesake from it's design ethos; although it performs decently in space, the planetary fighter was designed and tested for atmospheric fighting. 

     With three atmospheric turbine engines, and four sublight engines, the planetary fighter is a formidable opponent in groups,  but like the Z-95's, they are easily outclassed by an X-Wing.
 
      

     The standard weaponry consists of dual laser cannons, and two forward-firing proton torpedo launchers.

 

     The planetary fighter only required a single pilot, however, a second pilot and an astromech droid had the ability to perform light repairs and re-route power between primary systems while engaging in battle, giving the craft a much-needed advantage.

     The planetary fighter saw very little actual space deployment. They were used mostly by planetary police organizations, as well as corporate security for customs' stations.

     The second pilot seat could be removed and used for a decent amount of storage space, making the craft favorable for smugglers and privateers.

     Although the craft had decent hull plating, it was lightly shielded, making it the perfect cost-effective security vehicle.

Get this craft, and every craft the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade team has done so far, in The X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Craft pack, available on the download page on our main site: 


and if you love X-Wing Alliance, and are looking to add several new ships to the game, as well as every X-Wing Alliance Upgrade ship, Check out Darksaber's Ultimate Craft Pack, featuring new sounds and incredible bug-fixes, optimized for modern operating systems:   

                                Darksaber.xwaupgrade.com

The next ship we will be taking a look at is the Preybird Fighter, by Darksaber and Wraith1.

The x wing alliance story about ace is fake. Ace Azzameen wasn't red 2, Wedge Antiles was.
Red group contained:
Red 1 Garven Dreis (Red Leader, not red 1)
Red 2 Wedge Antilles
Red 3 Biggs Darklighter
Red 4 John D Branon
Red 5 Luke Skywalker
Red 6 Jek Porkins

Information gathered from Star Wars: Empire at War

Maybe that is one of the reasons XWA2 doesn't exist.

We need an X-Wing Alliance 2, with everything from the original, big space skirmish battles, able to pick the spaceships in said skirmishes, and with better graphics, more spaceships, bigger spaceship limit, and 3d planets.

You said it :D I honestly don't know why the series ended at Alliance, imagine how cool a current-gen or next-gen x-wing versus tie fighter would be. :D

This is going to rock your world, lol. This link here: Maxgames.it it contains mission packs that recreates X-wing, Tie Fighter, The rebel and imperial sides of X-Wing vs. Tie fighter, and the multiplayer bonus missions from XvT. The origional X-Wing mission packs also contains the B-Wing expansion pack missions. Every mission pack comes with new sound effects, mission briefings, and even those pre-rendered cinematics from the origional games. You will need the X-Video codec in order to see them. How can it get any better? You can play through all these classic games with the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Ships, available in one neat installer, here, under the "download" category: Xwaupgrade.com or, for even more ships and better sound effects, check out this ship pack: Darksaber.xwaupgrade.com

Good luck, and may the force be with you ;)
