Star Citizen's Forgotten Xi'an Ship - The Volper Bomber
This video explores the development history of the Xi'an Volper Bomber. All information correct and as complete as I can make it, at time of recording. See below for references.
I am aware that the whole thing is a little over-the-top! I'm a small creator who is still learning the craft, and this video was primarily an experiment in some new video techniques for me. You can tell, because I messed the end screen up a little!
