The Crossbow is a formidable Confederation anti-capital ship bomber. It combines impressive armor and shields with good maneuverability and traveling velocity. The fighter is equipped with torpedoes, Friend-or-Foe missiles and an array of blasters that include a rear turret. It was a contingent of Crossbows that destroyed the Grakneth’ Dak, a Kilrathi capital ship first sighted near Gorath.
Corvette
Background
The 3D mesh that was ultimately used for the Crossbow introduced in Special Operations 1 was originally built for Wing Commander 2 where it was intended to be used for what was called the Crossbow-class corvette. The Crossbow corvette was one of several ships cut from the game to reduce the overall size but the assets were reused in 1992 for a new ship Special Operations 1 also called the Crossbow (now a bomber). As part of this process, the Special Operations 1 artists re-textured the mesh to appear to be a smaller spacecraft, replacing multiple decks with a single cockpit and dropping the green-with-yellow-numbers color scheme associated with Wing Commander II's capital ships. The original Crossbow texture scheme is still visible in one place: for Wing Commander Academy, artists rendered a 'turnaround' of each ship which rotate when selected on the mission design menu. The new sprites were rendered from the original Crossbow corvette rather than the Special Operations 1 update, making the green paint scheme visible. The original corvette-textured Crossbow model created by Origin for the game is available for download here. Additionally, a set of specifications for the cut ship have been identified from a preserved printout of Wing Commander II's in-progress ship statistics.
