CREDITS
--------
First of all, thank you LucasArts for their stunning (but awful in MP) game X-wing Alliance, for two reasons. First of all it introduced me to the R41 Starchaser, and secondly I borrowed a couple of sounds. Hey, if Raven can do it for JA then so can I!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------
Dump this is your gamedata/base directory within your Jedi Academy directory.

DESCRIPTION
------------
The R41 Starchaser is a starfighter comparable to the Z-95 Headhunter. In fact the R41 was created to directly compete with the Z-95 for king of the low-budget starfighters. It was slightly faster and slightly more powerful, thus making it a popular choice for smugglers, pirate, and criminal organization, such as Black Sun.

Because of its status as a budget fighter, the R41 is generally "personalized" by whoever is using it. The producers of the R41, Heorsh-Kessel Drive Inc, creates them this way, so everything from the armament to the hyperdrive can be customized by the buyer. As a result almost no two R41 Starchasers are quite the same.

----------------------
VEHICLE SPAWN INFORMATION
----------------------

The command to spawn the R41 Starchaser is as follows:

npc spawn vehicle r41

To spawn the Black Sun version of the R41 Starchaser:

npc spawn r41_bs

BUGS
-----
The only real bug I've come across is that in Siege Destoyer, where I test it, it's a little dodgy on the hyperdrive sequence - that is sometimes it'll play the sound while in lightspeed, but it seems to *always* play it *after* it exits hyperspace. Weird, huh?

---------
COMMENTS
---------
Even though it's kind of a crappy, low cost fighter, and somewhat ugly, I've always had a soft spot for the ol' R41. Maybe it's because they're so much fun to kill! Anyhow, I hope there are some folks out there who will enjoy it.

Includes:
-Custom Radar Icons
-New Sounds
-Extra Skin Variant
-Cockpit Shader
-Lots of Love from Inyri!
