AEG-77 Vigo Gunship

This weekend I found an old project entirely by chance, I thought that I had lost it but apparently it was lying around on a hard drive somewhere.

I present to you the AEG-77 Vigo Gunship from Star Wars Galaxies.
Screenshot 2018-02-04 13.45.51.jpg
The AEG-77 Vigo was a transport vessel of the criminal Black Sun organization that was also used by Xizor Transport Systems and other organizations and individuals at the time of the Galactic Civil War. Some ships were heavily modified for use as convoy escorts.

The ship provided lots of space for passengers and cargo. Its interior included three decks connected by two elevators, an observation room, a large bridge, a recreation room, an engineering room, and a cargo hold. Modified versions were equipped with two forward mounted guns, four dorsal mounted turrets, and two ventral mounted turrets.

The AEG-77 Vigo was originally used as light defended transport vessels by the Black Sun and also later by other organizations, including Xizor Transport Systems and the Hutt cartels. As they became known for their light weaponry, more and more transports were attacked and captured by pirate gangs, especially those smuggling valuable cargo for Black Sun. To counter this threat to its profits, Black Sun decided to modify some of their cargo transports into heavily defended gunships that would act as escorts for the rest of their convoys.

Relevant Details:

Provided files include:
AEG-77.Opt
AEG-77 Vigo Gunship.shp
AEG-77 hull, map, and skirmish bmps for the dat files
AEG-77 Readme

The ship fills slot 103 by default, and in the UCP's case replaces the Delta 7, FYI.

The AEG being a heavy gunship it has heavy shielding and hull that can take a pounding.

Dimensions wise it's approximately 50m wide, 100m long, and 25m tall.

The Opt currently has 6x quad laser cannons, and 2x missile launchers.

And for the sake of transparency, as the quad lasers supplied with the original model were ridiculously over detailed I utilized the ones off of the YT1300 by Master Qui-Gon, who has of course been given all due credit.

Known issues:
There's possibly a gap somewhere I've missed filling.

I would also appreciate it greatly if DS, DTM, and/or GT would be willing to host it.

Very nice ship. I would like to host it on my site. Give me only few days to test it and set up a page...

As someone who played SWG (And actually had a fully decorated one of these things!) I really appreciate this opt. Nice work!

Any chance of the Nova Courier maybe? :D

Updated opt will be coming out soon, Dtm has been kind enough to help with a few issues I was unaware of, and collaborate on rebalancing the ship to be more playable.

Jaeven do you have screenshots of the bridge? There are not many available currently, and I seem to be missing the .tre file that contained the data, and unless I can find a repository that still has that data, then I will need to do it up from scratch and the references wound be helpful

And funny you ask... >_>

I'll have a look at my files. Should be able to find some screenshots at the very least.

One thing I would say it that you could have darkened the textures on the borrowed gun turret to match the rest of the hull

something like this

Tex00004.rar
It looks better on the overall hull

Ugh. I could have sworn I did as you suggested. Thanks for pointing this out.

I'll update the file, again.

I'm finding it's the little details with opting that are the biggest cause of frustration.

I've been looking through my files, and I can't find the Vigo either. I can send you screens of the cockpit, and the same with the YE-4 if you want it.

Screenshots are fine as I need the references anyways. I found a .tre/.toc repository for the model and textures, but wouldn't you know it, the viewer program is not rendering the model and textures for me to reference to begin uving

Vigo Gunship has been updated with cockpit opt. Fixed transparent light texture. Updated turret textures to match hull color.

WIP - FG colors

In your first version the the Antenna was set to Communication System, Rotary Communication System
And the Gun turrets where set as Rotary Gun Turret

But in the v1.1 version in which DTM fixed a few things the gun turrets are set as gun turrets the Antenna are set as Antenna

but in this new version the Antenna and gunturrets are again set as Communication System, Rotary Communication System, Rotary Gun Turrets

I'm Puzzled!!!!!!

Nice pilot I didn't realise DTM ,made a pilot like that :D but according to you readme he did, well done DTM nice pilot :D

Urgh, I didn't update the opt on my end, and uploaded his fixed opt from another source. This has now been corrected. Thanks.

I think the pilot you're referring to is on the YKL-Nova Courier. I actually pulled that out of SWG and manipulated it (harder than it looked too) to be in a sitting position. I need to update the readme because, apparently when I stay up for 23 hours, I miss the simplest details.

File is updated.

Isn't it great when we can both be sarcastic to each other lol :D :D :lachtot: :lachtot:

I know what you mean by manipulating a figure into the sitting position, I've had to do that with a few figures

Dash
Chewie
Han
Lando
Niem Numb (spelling)
Tie Fighter Pilot
Rebel Pilot for different craft

Standing
Stormtrooper
C3PO
Rebel Trooper

I think that's it, they all started off in a star position (apart from the Rebel Pilot) all moved about using Milkshape lol (in other words a lot of sodding about) lol

Well do though :)
