This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:

  • Other unused graphics (if there are any remaining).
  • Other undocumented unused content.
  • A screenshot of the title screen for this page.

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance is the sequel to Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. It also had a rerelease on Steam, alongside the other games in the X-Wing series, in 2015.

Unused Graphics#

Need Art!#

CRAFT_ICONS.DAT in the RESDATA folder contains three files with each one having a sub-file, which is a bright and colorful sprite that reads "NEED ART!". It is a placeholder icon that indicates that it NEEDS ART!.

There are six colors for each of the Briefing Room ship icons. Some of them (such as the green TIE Fighters or the purple Death Star II) are never used.

Placeholder Skirmish Ship Preview#

The files for the Skirmish mode's ship previews has a placeholder icon representing... an orange and dark-purple blob? (The file on the right is the same sprite without translucency for clarity.)
