Model is built from the mk1. Other then EAW their is no "cannon" mk2 models. Trouble with that mesh is that it is just a scaled down version of the ISD mesh with like 8 extra polies. Tech entries indicate that other then different gun loadouts the main difference in the 2 classes is the drives; but it gives no indication of an exact number of drive units. Too that end I changed the truster texture and added 4 more of the smaller thrusters already on the model to represent the more powerful drives. I also lowered the wing flanges to clear the broadside arcs and added broadside guns. C&C please

it would be pretty much sith vs republic with the mandos on the sith side

I love the era and the ships in the new kotor comics are nice

My strong recommendation is to confine yourselves to ships that appear in the movies, to make each ship both flavorful and useful in its role, and to discard ships that add nothing of substance to the mod. Yes, Star Wars has a profusion of cool and cool-looking ships, and it is sorely tempting to cram as many of them in as possible, but more ships don't necessarily make a better game.

In any case Great Work!

Is the Bothan Cruiser, Hapan Battle Dragon, and Hapan Nova crusier available in the latest version in the vs. mode? If not in the vs. then were? Thanks.

BUT in the movies and all the games I've seen it has them side by side.

just wondering if this is for looks or rather just a mistake.

i really want to see what they do and stuff, and the only ship i've been able to get is the SSD Executer.

1.  I noticed that the ships (I only have closely looked at the Imp 1,2 and a few others) don't have even close to the actual number of weapons as they were actually equipped with. The Imp 1 for example while stated as having 60 heavy turbolaser cannons in addition to its primary mounts.  However the in game ship has maybe 40 weapons emplacements total!

2. This pertains to the above question.  Is the smaller number of weapons a engine restriction or due to balancing issues?  Or is there a ratio of stated weapons/in game weapons OR am I just missing 50 odd weaps in the coding somewhere ?

3. I have discovered the reason for the ISD1's prowess for disabling ships in its 2 dual heavy ion cannons....now here's the question.  The ISD1 and ISD2 have roughly the same number of weapon mounts...however the ISD2's are of considerably lighter calliber.  Isn't this a little counter intuitive?  After all the ISD2 supposedly boasted a tremendous jump in killing power (which imo it doesn't have currently) and was far more formidable than its predecessor.  (I say this due to the ISD2's reputation as an opponent to be feared all the way to the Vong wars). 

4. Now as far as the coding goes... I've been looking at both the ion cannon and turbo's....  could you be so gracious as to explain some of the values and what the variables to me?  Taking the turbolaser 12d as an example we have

StartWeaponConfig(NewWeaponType,"AnimatedTurret","Bullet","TurboLaser_10D","Normal",15000,27000,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,20,0,0,1,1,20,20,1,"Normal",0,0,0)

AddWeaponResult(NewWeaponType,"Hit","DamageHealth","Target",15000,30000,"")

setPenetration(NewWeaponType,0,1,
{TurretArmour=0.1,})

setAccuracy(NewWeaponType,0,
{SuperCapital=0.9999,},
{Hero_Large=0.01,},
{Cruiser=0.9999,},
{Destroyer=0.9999,},
{BigCapitalShip=0.9999,},
{Heavy_Frigate=0.9999,},
{Frigate=0.9,},
{SmallCapitalShip=0.9,},
{Heavy_Corvette=0.5,},
{Utility=0.5,},
{Mothership=0.9999,},
{Chimera=0.9999,},
{Heavy_Utility=0.9999,},
{Planet=1,},
{SubSystem=0.1,},
{Emplacement=0.1,})

setAngles(NewWeaponType,5,-100,100,-5,90)

setMiscValues(NewWeaponType,4,3.5)

now as far as I've seen the only values that really change would be these highlighted below StartWeaponConfig(NewWeaponType,"AnimatedTurret","Bullet","TurboLaser_10D","Normal",15000,27000,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,20,0,0,1,1,20,20,1,"Normal",0,0,0)

AddWeaponResult(NewWeaponType,"Hit","DamageHealth","Target",15000,30000,"")

setPenetration(NewWeaponType,0,1,

{TurretArmour=0.1,})

setAccuracy(NewWeaponType,0,

{SuperCapital=0.9999,},

{Hero_Large=0.01,},

{Cruiser=0.9999,},

{Destroyer=0.9999,},

{BigCapitalShip=0.9999,},

{Heavy_Frigate=0.9999,},

{Frigate=0.9,},

{SmallCapitalShip=0.9,},

{Heavy_Corvette=0.5,},

{Utility=0.5,},

{Mothership=0.9999,},

{Chimera=0.9999,},

{Heavy_Utility=0.9999,},

{Planet=1,},

{SubSystem=0.1,},

{Emplacement=0.1,})

setAngles(NewWeaponType,5,-100,100,-5,90)

setMiscValues(NewWeaponType,4,3.5)

  Having said that which of the above deals with range, health damage, emp damage etc?  I assume it isn't the damage normal as both values are zero for the ion cannons.  A breakdown of the values above would be Awesome

Well I think that's all I can come up with atm.  Thnx.

This means that for at least the next 3-4 months I will be unable to work on the mod

I am looking for a few people that are capable of editing code to clean up the mod, things like the unit descriptions, unit and weapon stats, work on other parts of the mod that are not complete (maps, gametypes, vong) and possibly complete the conversions from 0.45 units into the new weapons format (this will require usage of maya) tools will be provided and I will have the staff board open to anyone that joins

what I would like to do is reintroduce eras and all of the units that were in 0.45, I will still update models, but a lot of the conversion work is script editing and tweaking

I will be pushing to complete my commitments to the IA2 team so I will probably be able to do most of the CW ships before I run out of time(as well as the quick and dirty kotor mod because that is simple)

if I don't get anyone then the mod is pretty much frozen, I doubt I will have a lot of initiative to pick it up again  (partly because I have another project I want to work on, see secret project #1).

Thanks

Oh and here was the original post

There are a lot of forgotten ships from the Starfighter games.

currently I am planning the clone wars era vessels next

however single ship suggestions are welcome
