Star Wars Uglies

Star Wars "Uglies" are working starfighters made up of salvaged parts of other star fighters and or any other vehicles that can be made space worthy. Usually found in the domain of pirates, it can't be denied the level of ingenuity that goes into making these abominations. Spare a thought too, for the pilots brave enough to fly them.

Possible improvements
* Reword wings/panels/arrays based on donor ship type.
* Have the ability to add extra engines to the hull of certain ships, or to the wings of certain ships.
* Instead of enforcing a wing, an engine could be used in its place.
* Add the ability to mount another hull to a wing mount, then mount wings to that extra hull.
* Weapon systems

Presets (d21)

d21	Name	Description
1	TYE-Wing	Two Y-Wing engines mounted to either side of a TIE-fighter hull.
2	TYE-Wing Bomber	Two Y-Wing engines mounted to either side of the main hull of a TIE-Bomber
3	BB-Wing	Two B-Wings joined together at the cockpit, but with only one cockpit used.
4	X-TIE	The solar arrays of a TIE-Fighter mounted in place of an X-Wing's wings, but retaining the four X-Wing engines.
5	Z-TIE	The solar arrays of a TIE-Fighter mounted in place of a Z-95 Headhunter's wings, but retaining the Z-95's engines.
6	Y-TIE	The solar arrays of a TIE-Fighter mounted in place of a Y-Wing's engines, but with the ION engines of the TIE-Fighter mounted to the rear of the Y-Wing's hull.
7	B-TIE	Primarily a B-Wing, but with the s-foil wings replaced by TIE-Fighter solar arrays and the cockpit replaced with that of a TIE-Bomber.
8	X-Ceptor	The solar arrays of a TIE-Interceptor mounted in place of an X-Wing 's wings, but with the four engines of the X-Wing retained, potentially mounted to the arrays.
9	Z-Ceptor	The solar arrays of a TIE-Interceptor mounted in place of a Z-95's wings, but with the engines of the Z-95 retained, potentially pointed to the arrays.
10	A-TIE Advanced	The solar arrays of a TIE-Advanced mounted to the sides of an A-Wing. The engines of the TIE-Advanced are in place of the A-Wing's.
11	Y-TIE Bomber	The solar arrays of a TIE-Bomber mounted to the sides of a Y-Wing. The engines of the TIE-Bomber are mounted to the rear of the Y-Wing hull.
12	TIE-Boo	The wings and engines of an N-1 starfighter mounted to either side of a TIE-Fighter ball cockpit/hull.
13	Boo Y-Ceptor	The hull of an N-1 with the wings replaced by the solar arrays of a TIE-Interceptor. A single engine of a Y-Wing is mounted under the hull.
14	TIE-X	The ball hull/cockpit of a TIE-Fighter, but the complete engines and s-foils of an X-Wing. A mass produced version of this craft by the Twi'leks is known as the Chri'daki.
15	TIA-Wing	The hull and engines of an A-Wing, but with the ball cockpit of a TIE-Fighter.
16	YA-Boo	The cockpit and font end of an A-Wing mounted to the hull of a Y-Wing to which is attached the wings and engines of an N-1 starfighter.
17	STX-TIE	The solar arrays of a TIE-Fighter mounted to either side of the cockpit of an AT-ST. Four engines are source from an X-Wing and mounted to the arrays.
18	Tri-TIE	The hull of a TIE-Defender but with the lower two solar relays replaced with the engine and wings of an X-Wing, the bottom most two with lasers cannons attached.
19	YX-Wing	The hull of an X-Wing, but with the s-foils replaced by four fixed Y-Wing engines. A an X-Wing laser cannon is mounted to either side.
