Description
This is a collection of ships based on those seen in Wing Commander 1. I did all of the art myself with some secondary references to guide my work along.
I tried to build up each ship with different strengths and weaknesses, as they would have had in the original WC game, as well as keep their firing patterns consistent with the positions of their guns. However, this does mean that some of the fighters, the Jalthi and Rapier in particular, require a top tier rank to fly.
Enjoy!

A-14 Raptor Heavy Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
One of the most powerful, and largest, fighters in the Confederation inventory during the war with the Kilrathi. It's speed and size give it a fair amount of inertia so you need to stay on top of it. This ship has maximum beams and nearly full power streng...
CF-105 Scimitar
Created by Col_Shaggy
The CF-105 Scimitar handles like a Centaurian Mud Pig and doesn't have weapons as strong as the Raptor, but it has a tighter shot pattern. It's a challenging ship to master....
Dralthi Mk. II
Created by Col_Shaggy
The Dralthi is the workhorse of the Kilrathi fighter fleet. It has seen a long history and multiple variants in the war with the Confederation. The main reason for the rank is so that I would have enough points to include cosmetic stuff like engine flares....
F-44 Rapier II
Created by Col_Shaggy
The F-44 Rapier II is the most advanced fighter in the Confederation Fleet. It's the fastest, most agile, and most powerful fighter on the block....
F-36 Hornet Light Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
The Hornet is the weakest armed fighter that the Confederation has. It is quick and nimble, however, and can be quite lethal in the hands of a skilled pilot. Speed kills, baby....
Gratha Heavy Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
This Kilrathi heavy fighter is somewhat comparable to the Raptor. She's quick, with some drift, and heavily gunned. Even if you haven't hit the Beat Hazard level, this ship can tear up a boss very quickly....
Salthi Light Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
The Salthi is somewhat equivalent to the Confederation F-36 Hornet fighter. It's small, agile, and fast but it is lightly gunned. I've begun going a little heavier on the missions, because you don't have to complete them so I figured what the hell. Enjoy....
Krant Medium Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
The Krant is has quick acceleration and moderate top speed. It has just enough drift to get you into trouble if you don't keep an eye on it. The guns are at a medium level but with a high bullet speed it balances out nicely....
Jalthi Heavy Fighter
Created by Col_Shaggy
The Jalthi Heavy fighter is one of the most deadly fighters in the Kilrathi inventory. It mounts six laser cannons in a wide a pattern across the front of the ship. To replicate this I have given this Jalthi a wide fan of fire and high bullet damage. She's...
