Make your x-wing look like an advanced x-wing but do nothing, really.

Right. They're more or less rounded fins that run the length of the fuselage on either side. If you've seen an Advanced X Wing, you know what they look like. Also, because it has them built in already, the Advanced X Wing can't use them.

IMO it's a nice look. It gives the ship a nice custom feel without taking it too far from what we saw in the movies, like the alternate engine appearances do.

I like the Z-95 side strakes as well.

how many ships can use the strakes? just certain ones?

Of Rebel ships, only the standard X-Wing, and the Starter/ Heavy variants of the Z95 can use side strakes. Each type of ship has it's own kind. There are also a couple TIEs and a couple freelance ships that can use winglets or strakes, but admittedly I'm not sure which ones.

Only TIE that can use them is the TIE/Advanced. Adds a set of small winglets that run the length of the solar panels, like the ones on the RGI. Very nice looking, actually. Considering it's the only mod we can use, including paint and texture kits.

I've got screens on my home PC

Gonna be a few hours before I can get to em though. They do look nice though (in my opinion)

Kimoglia and Rhyk can have them.. they axtually improve the Rhyk's look a lot, winglets at the end of the wings.

If it's not too late:

Number 1
Number 2
Number 3

Looks pretty neat to me.
