Hello,

I have played X-Wing alliance as a kid, and I loved the game. I was thinking if you could set up a Patreon or some funding campaign if you need support. I just thought you are doing great work and I want to support it. Installer and everything.

There's a christmas sale on Steam about Star Wars. Alliance included.

Hi jrk,

thanks for the offer but the XWAU was always a strict non-profit project. (due to legal reasons among other things) I foot the bill for the hosting and the domain-name, but besides that there's not a whole lot needed anyways. Short of hiring new 3D-Artists I don't see this changing anytime soon ;)

I am sure many people would love it, but it is a legal issue that is probably best left alone when dealing with Star wars content. If and when the artists here make completely new designs, there might be some room there, but it would still carry a little risk.
