Skull Squadron

[Qi Qi]

It is not simple just for a mod or game, but for all of the feelings,experiences,and spirits clinging to it.

Summary:

This is a small mod,simple but effective. With it,You can summon three teams of fighters those comprised the Skull Squadron led by Rick Hunter, and numerous fighters to be your wingmen whenever and wherever you want to in space. And all of the teams and wingmen can be toggled on or off, as you order them to do so.

In addition, you can also custom the ship type of each team and wingman, a team by default comprised six navy fighter_mk2, through modifying the SSquadron.ini file in the mod’s package.

Story:

I had been ever thinking about that it would be good if a squadron of wingmans could support or accompany me whenever I was in trouble or just felt a little lonely in the boundless space. For there is few handy and direct mod of this sort around, although many wonderful mods those I really appreciate have already been out there,I made one for myself. And now I would very like to share it with you all.

As far as the name of Skull Squadron is picked, it is actually after the name of a elite squadron led by Rick Hunter from the series of cartoon films of Robotech which I watched in my childhood and enjoyed very much even by now. The spirit of brave pilots is always inspiring and respectable,isn’t it?

I like the game very much not only because its originally fantastic charm of space exploration, but because whenever I travelled in space, I could experience a feeling of excitement and encouragement which can always arouse the confidence and morale in my true life. The travel in space often reminds me of the travel in my realistic life. How should I spend my life? Though I don’t know exactly now at once, the power of brave pilots’ spirit always drives me forward courageously.

Here I would like to share a little poem that moved me so with you all together.

……
It was always summer and the future called
We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all
There was so much left to dream
And so much time to make it real
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They said he crashed and burned
I know I’ll never learn why any boy should die so young
We were racing we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times when I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he’s right behind me now and he’s gaining ground!

But it was long ago and it was far away
Oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway — then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

**********************
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are —
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The mod is dedicated to the memories of the inspiring Robotech, the past childhood, the valiant pilots, and some more that I can’t articulate at once.

Whenever you were in trouble or just felt alone in space, the Skull Squadron would always be there, and the bravery would always be with you.
