A new fighter from mikemckeon007--- it must be a Viper or a Cylon Raider, you say? Sorry, friend, guess again.

Back in the days before Battlestar Galactica, when Captain Sisko of Deep Space Nine was still a commander, before Farscape and Firefly and all those other lovely, gritty, "dark" science fiction dramas, there was a show. It was awesome. It was set in the near future aboard a bad-ass battleship of the stars named the Saratoga. And it was called Space: Above and Beyond.

Now, for those of you young'uns who have never heard of this series before, your appreciation of this model of the SA-43 Hammerhead fighter used by the Marine pilots in that series is probably going to be limited. It is the strongest recommendation that you had best go and find out what this bad bird is all about by watching S:AAB from start to finish.

For those of you who remember S:AAB, you'll no doubt get quite a kick out of seeing the Hammerhead in action in your A2 build just as soon as you can press the "download now!" button. Once again, it is the strongest recommendation that you had best do that. Right now.

Seriously awesome work from mikemckeon007 here. Hopefully some Chig fighters and maybe the Saratoga herself might follow?

Cool


all credits are in the readme file all i did was convert it to armada WITH PERMISSION OF COURSE

put the odf's,textures,baitmaps and sod's into the corresponding folder

after you have done that go to the sprites folder.
open your gui_global file and put the following lines into it

@reference=64
b_sa43 gbsa43 0 0 64 64

scroll down to the wireframes and insert the following

@reference=512
sa43w1 wfsa43 320 0 160 160
sa43w2 wfsa43 0 160 160 160
sa43w3 wfsa43 160 160 160 160
sa43w4 wfsa43 160 0 160 160
sa43w5 wfsa43 0 0 160 160

after you have done that go to the techtree folder.
put the following into your tech1 and fulltech files

sa43.odf 0


and add this to whatever shipyard you want to build it from

buildItemxx = "sa43"

Add the following line to weapons sprite directly under federation pulse phaser or just use the one i included

# Rail
rail wpulse2 0 64 128 32

Space: Above and Beyond was a fantastic show that ended a lot prematurely in my opinion. Great job on the Hammerhead!

wow, it's been a LONG time since I've seen one of these. It's been so long, I'm surprised people still know what S:AAB is. Good job Mike, I must bow to you sir.
