Just a plugin that I made that aims to replicate Star Wars (or at least tries to) in Endless Sky. During the past year or so, I've managed to create around 280 ships, ranging from one-man fighters to capital ships, all from a variety of eras and factions (The Old Republic, the Republic & CIS, the Empire & Rebels, the First Order & Resistance, and even some from Legends). Currently, there is no existing storyline or a functioning galaxy map, though I intend to finish another 100 ships before I develop other aspects of the plugin (their sprites can be found in the plugin already).

For any observational people out there, the U-Wing that crosses the screen at the start of the gif hasn't been scaled down in size yet.

Description

I'm in the process of halving all fighter/interceptor sprites, boosting their max speeds, and decreasing turning rates. The result: fighter vs fighter combat is far more viable, each ship relying more on manoeuvrability and speed to hit targets. The reduction of fighter sprites is largely due to my recent scaling dilemma, though since sprites are smaller, capital ships are also now less effective against them. That's another plus.
