Yeah, its nothing like an x-wing.... more like a Thunderbolt from Babylon 5.

To be fair, by this point in history, if you draw any spaceship there is a good chance it will look like a spaceship from some other film/book/whatever.

On the other hand, we all know CR is a 2 bit hack who steals ideas from all over the place.

Thank goodness it is guns on the ends of the wings instead of engines.

Losing a gun kinda sucks, losing an engine usually really sucks.
 
I think it is still mostly an X-Wing. Not a Starfury nor anything else with a similar shape. Why? Because it looks like it was envisioned as an X-Wing and is presented in a way that makes it similar to X-Wing. In particular the one from the most recent trilogy. It even has these "engines" (whatever they are) that are part of the wings and the ridiculously placed guns at the wingtips. When looked at from the front, or slightly from the side, it is almost indistinguishable. And this is exactly the type of shot that is also most iconic for X-Wings.

It is the not-Millennium-Falcon MSR again. A play on a well known and loved sci-fi motif.

EDIT: even the turret is where the droid on an X-Wing would be placed. It is definitely though of as something that emanates the essence of what X-Wing is.

It looks terrible (imo):

Some backers disagree


Although...

Looks cool and will likely be quite capable

... until CIG has sold enough, after which it'll be nerfed into oblivion.

And of course, to demonstrate the mentality of some backers


Yes CIG, please add more to the scope, please add more ships for sale.

It's heavily inspired by X wing.
I'm 99% sure the wings can close on each other.

In the description "With an adaptable bi-wing configuration..."

And when you look closely how the wings are attached to the ship, you see the cylinders (not sure of the word in english)
 
I recall first seeing that ship on Babylon 5 and thinking, wow, an Xwing. But it also had a bit of a gunstar kind of feel, so a mix of the 2.

Let me know when they come up with the H-wing fighter.

Yeah, call them cylinders, no idea what to call them myself.
