Ships and Objects


Name Author Description
Tie Invader

Mesh by graphixkid44 (from Admeasure)
Conversion by Strati D. Zerbinis  

Fast and powerfully armed, this space superiority fighter has the weak point of being rather fragile.
Intercepter

Mesh used was Space Fighter created by Phil Ings (from GamasutraExchange).
Conversion to StratWars ship by Strati D. Zerbinis  

Fast, light, agile, poorly armed, everything an intercepter should be.
Nebulae collection

Various

Converted to jpeg and resolution adjusted by Strati D. Zerbinis

A set of good nebula images perfect for spicing up any background starfield
Planets collection NASA A set of planet textures, its good to have some land to fight over
Shrike Mesh used was shrike.3ds created by Tolwyn of the Wing Commander 3D web site
Converted to StratWars ship by Strati D.Zerbinis
I know this is probably not how it's supposed to fly in the wing commander universe but it looked like a fighter to me.
Piranha Mesh used was pirahna.3ds created by Tolwyn of the Wing Commander 3D web site
Converted to StratWars ship by Strati D.Zerbinis
I know this is probably not how it's supposed to fly in the wing commander universe but it looked like a strike fighter to me.
Frigate Mesh used was cruiser.3ds created by Marts "CptnEisen" Baldwin. This was found on the Wing Commander 3D web site
Converted to StratWars ship by Strati D.Zerbinis
When you just don't care anymore...no not really. I know this is probably not how it's supposed to fly in the wing commander universe (I never played Prophecy) but it looked like a frigate to me. It has many guns for point defense against fighters it is still quite vulnerable if it doesn't have fighter cover. But against similar sized ships its beam and plasma cannons, as well as it's main torpedo launchers make it formidable.
Note the model is his, the texture errors and strange weapon placement is mine. I'm sorry and I'm working on fixing it
Borg Cube Aaron Reitz and Necroherent A small cube but still a formidable warship, armed with multiple beam turrets.
Slave 1

Original mesh by Borg124
Converted to StratWars ship by Strati D.Zerbinis

Famous throughout the galaxy, this fast and instantly recognizable pursuit vessel has been the mount of choice for two of the most well known bounty hunters.
Cylon Raider v1.1 Jonathan Theiss The Cylon Raider. A powerful fighter and remarkably maneuverable for a three man ship. It serves as the first line of defense, and more often attack for the Cylon Empire. Thanks to the miracle of mass production the Cylon forces are able to field wave after wave of these ominous warships and overwhelm enemies. Even one on one this fighter is not to be taken lightly.
Colonial Viper v1.1 Jonathan Theiss The Colonial Viper. A fast and capable fighter and the back bone of the Colonial forces. It's speed and firepower let it take on superior numbers of enemy and still prevail. Which is good when you're trying to defend a ragtag fleet from an unstoppable and merciless enemy.

 

Tools


Name Author Description
StratWars Ship Editor Beta14 (Mac) Strati D. Zerbinis

Now you can edit .shp files *without* needing a text editor...oooh what luxury. With such high tech and sophistamacated features as loading, saving, and importing .3ds models. Real documentation will come.

StratWars Scenario Editor Beta2 (Mac, Windows, Linux) Strati D. Zerbinis

What the ship editor did for editing ships, this does for editing scenarios... Provides a graphic visualization, as well as some error checking and elliminates many common sources of error when creating your own scenarios by hand. This installer now uses Java WebStart, though once you download it you can run it offline as a free standing application (WebStart will prompt you if you wish to make it a seperate application the second time you launch it, or you can run WebStart yourself and select 'Create Desktop Application' from the Application menu. When you download the file you may be prompted to trust the OpenGL for Java Jars. These are the official Jars and I have not changed them in any way, so they should be safe. You'll uh... need to save target to disk, probably. Oh and make sure that the file extension is .jnlp (cause some browsers rename jnlp files to .xml or .html for some reason) Sorry I'll try and make this more straightforward in the future.

NOTE: may need JOGL availible from the home page

Some very cool original scenarios, plus a file mirror that these days is usually more uptodate then the original here! Well worth the trip.
