Looking good droid, I played for a while earlier, Mandos on Land are really good and are the Warriors Reskinned Bobas?

[Dr. Nick]

This is an awesome mod 

 

I had fun losing as ZC  ;D

 

But even playing as Mandos is still a challenge. Great balancing

 

Now to finish this GC and try out the Rebels...

 

 

And I'm guessing the Mandos don't get bombing runs?

[Droid803]

At the moment, no.

I might make their bombing run...something special.

[Logan Felipe]

At the moment, no.

I might make their bombing run...something special.

He he...

 

What I like most about this mod is how it experiments with different coding possibilities. Really encourages creativity.

 

What else do you have in mind to add?

[vaders_Legion]

i got a sudgestion, use the mptl projectile model for the mandalorian advanced nuclear warheads

[Droid803]

Problem with that is, the MPTL projectile is already used for proton torpedoes.

 

Some more Eye Candy for the next version that will contain new models replacing placeholders:

Cloud Cars attacking in imperial-controlled Gas Collector

Cloud Cars are buildable at your own Gas Collectors.

Gas Collectors have the following armaments:

- none (most income generated)

- turbolasers only (slightly less income)

- concussion missiles only (same as turbolasers only)

- turbolasers and concussion missiles (least income generated)

A Firespitter-class Light Destroyer opens fire

you get Firespitters instead of Krayts until you buyy the Krayt Reactors black market upgrade. After you upgrade, you'll lose the ability to build Firespitters for the much-superior Krayt-class Destroyer.

[Dr. Nick]

That's some good looking stuff there, Droid!

 

These HP models make for good kitbashing through code it seems...

I would've never thought of it myself; I try to avoid coding as much as possible

[Droid803]

lol I actually kitbashed that in MAX lol.

I wish I could do that through pure coding...

 

Anyhow, here's its death clone.

[Dr. Nick]

Nice DC 

 

Complete with uber timed explosiveness?

[Droid803]

Yup. Two big explosions at the end.

 

 

And now, for the...not so special Mandalorian Bombing Run.

Projectiles not partially inspired by UaW Hierarchy Plasma Shots.

[vaders_Legion]

so what are the mandalorian bombers? btw, nice kitbashed models, they look pretty good.

[Shadin]

Starvipers I think, I see one in the bottom-right corner

[Logan Felipe]

Are the gas collectors available in GC?

 

BTW, nice Mandalorian Build pad.

[shak4l 01]

That's some pr0 stuff man! Congrats!

[Droid803]

The Gas Collectors probably won't be buildable in GC, due to technical limitations.

Cloud Cars are not hyperspace capable and incapable of operating in space...limiting their use as netural planetary defenses...for Bespin only, basically...

 

They're just in there coding-wise if you want to play one of the skirmish maps I made...I don't know if its even in the mod or not (lol)

[vaders_Legion]

Ithink its impossible to have a unit not be able to hyperspace because you can always put it in a fleet that has hyperspace and it will be "carried" by one of those ships

[Logan Felipe]

That's why he made it for planetary defense only.

 

This way, they can't leave the planet.

[Droid803]

Yea, its probably going to be VERY limited in use in GC. At most, I'll edit the map to add spawns for them in as hostiles (or empire/rebel, whoever controls the planet).

[vaders_Legion]

so, any news?

[Droid803]

Not really, the only thing I added was a re-rigged Dreadanught-class Heavy Cruiser (Thrawn's Revenge Model)

[Droid803]

Yea, I'ma double posting!

So what?

 

So here's the Update

 

Part 1

After making a complete table of all different unit classes for all factions, i found the ZC have the least space units! (WHAT!?)

So...I did some kitbashing + rerigging and ended up with this:

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/swfoc_30.jpg

 

A variant of the Vengeance Frigate (needs a class name, preferably something starting with a "V" - open to suggestions)

 

Carries a 1 Mass-driver and 2 "Special Weapons". I have the images of them (complete with their new projectiles for their special weapons, but I'll show them after I get a name )

[Ghostly_Substance]

Vandris? Vandrus? Vustrulus? Vancres? Vlutnis?

 

Well you were opening to suggestions to the class name starting with V.

[Daft_vader_pff]

Vindicator?

Although i think that name is already used, unsure on that

[Logan Felipe]

Perhaps the Vengeful class? Or the Reprisal class? If not,this is always useful for coming up with ship classes and names.
