Hi!

For my "Jedi Knight Cutscenes" project, I need infos about the "Moldy Crow" (Kyle Katarn's Ship), and it seems that the Moldy Crow is listed in "The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" (I only have the previous one). If yes, can anyone send me scans of the Crow article (text-infos and schematics)? My DVD is almost done, and I really need this.

If you know any other places (books, magazines articles, website,...) where I can find infos and schematics about the "Moldy Crow", please contact me! (PM or yaddle(at)free(dot)fr )

Thanks!

PS: if you have infos about any other Jedi Knights vehicles and vessels (Jerec's Destroyer, Cargo Ship,...), I'm also interested.

searched the web but could'nt find anything. do you have a public library that might have it?

I'm laughing my ass off that they had nothing on starwars.com, they never update there EU files, that book came out in 2003 and i'm assuming there will be a new updated edition somewhere down the road.

Have no fear, RRS-1980 is here to help!

Ahh... Dark Forces... Kyle Katarn... good old times when LucasArts was making classic PC games, not some console shooters for kids... well, I shouldn't be surprised given the audience the prequels are aimed to...

Back on topic

Here's some Jerk's ....oops! I mean -Jerec's-

It seems that my "The Essential Guide to..." is also outdated and the only thing I could find comes from these websites:

www.starwars.pl
...quotes some RPG-game data from Wizards of the Coast (links leading to articles - dead?)

Thanks RRS, really cool site!
The page for Jerec's Destroyer is great and will be very useful.
But I haven't found any infos on the Moldy Crow ...

Nobody has this book? It's very surprising...

I've only got the original Essential Guide, not the "New" one.

Someone just told me that there aren't any schematics for this ship in this book. Just two lines of info...
Thanks for the help anyway!
