OK, this is, as far as I know, the very first capital ship in XWA modding history that comes with an actual cockpit opt. OK, its shiptype isn't exactly capship, for a more sensible weapons configuration I set it to freighter, but anyway....
This sleek corvette is ShiCon Dynamics' first step into the construction of Capital ships. A fast and agile transport ship, mainly for the purpose of transport of higher class personnel and VIPs. Due to its flexibility and great agility the CSX-600 is suitable for many kinds of purpose, ranging from passenger lining to VIP transit and spec ops combat missions, each supported by a high customizability. The small rear hangar additionally enables the ship to carry an additional starfighter or land vehicle for reinforcements.
While armor and shields in the stock version are moderate, the ship's great speed and maneuverability make up for these flaws pretty well. Also a considerable arsenal of defence and offence weaponry found on customized military versions allows the CSX-600 to easily break through blockades, shake off followers or engage in quick hit-and-run assaults.
Recent breakthroughs in stealth plating technology have brought forth another modification that even made it into military line production. The CSX/S is a special stealth version developed by ESS scientists equipped with an effective stealth armor that hides the ship from most modern sensors without the necessity of a cloaking device.
The CSX-600 comes in two versions, one, generic grey one, which also features various FG colors, the other as an all dark stealth version, each with its individual cockpit OPT. Due to their general role in the project - and an apparrent lack of free slots, the two ships will by default replace the Corellian and Modified Corvete.
But enough ranting. Enjoy!
You can get the OPT at your local X-Wing HQ

Seems to be a lot of guns on something that is an armed transport.
More like a corvette or gunship.
Of course ship designations are kinda silly in SW when the biggest ship is called a "Destroyer" which in most Naval nomenclature is slightly larger then a corvette

Well, it IS a corvette. AFAIK the corellian and modified corvette also have ship types set to Freighter.

Nope, they're both starships. In fact, it would probably be best to set this to starship as well GT, if you've defined all the stats for it, it won't make any difference other than where it's placed in the tech library. It might even be a better idea, as setting it as a freighter might prevent it firing its guns properly as an AI controlled ship.

I have to disagree. Thw ship type does greatly influence the way the weapons work: the csx has both forward guns and turrets. As a capship you cabnot link them or use the guns, while the turrets are on Auto.

Hang on, did you mean light freighter or heavy freighter? I think I might have things a little confused..

Freighter / Transport, like e.g. the Bulk Freighter, etc.

Last I heard, TBP universe is totally unrelated to SW, at least outside of battle threads , right?
Anyhow, looks good.
