Trevor,
The number of panels is not planned. I was originally planning on making each chapter correspond with the missions of the game, Mision 1 is chapter 1 and so on, but as I have been going I felt that the story needs some cliff hangers. Also I don't really want chapters to be too long as I want this to be a serial, somthing that's updated on a more regular basis than most other Photonovels, most of which never get further than the first few chapters. Chapter V could have been twice as long, but as I was putting it together last night this seemed to be the perfect point to stop and take a breather.
I've got one more chapter before things really start hotting up...I think the game has over 40 missions, and we are only ony on mission 3, so by my calculations you've got another 16 years of this!!! At least it keeps me out of trouble!
I'm secretly hoping that as time goes on more people will read this, and maybe, just maybe, Lucas Arts will make a new X-Wing game.
