Re: Mod - SOTE (TBR)

[jedi_consulor]

hmm I'll look at them. I have done some messing with the AI - the consortium are a bit slower at trying to corrupt planets now, just a bit slower mind. But its more playable. I also decided to try reducing their starting credits, for some reason the ZC favours building starbases and saboteur's LOL

[shak4l 01]

hmm no I actually want my A6 Juggernaught  lol its great - really it is  ok its a rescaled B5 but hey - I like it I went to some trouble to do this for the game. I have no problem with three Juggernaughts in the game. Yes sure A5 can be used by rebels too as a captured vehicle. They can use the AT TE also. From Rothana only.

I meant that rebels could have A5 "buildable", not "capturable"- or even rebel-only unit, and A6 imperial-only. And make A5 capable of crushing vehicles also!! ;D

ABout ISD mkII hardpoints: if you can't do it in another way, then good. BTW mkII don't have many ion cannons at all.

 

What do you think about adding the TIE Oppressor?  ;D  It rocks...

Nice ISD MkII too... Does it's hardpoints have break-offs?

TIE oppressor is non-canon And there are enough fighters for empire

ISDs don't have break-offs.

[jedi_consulor]

hmm no you misunderstand me, I said 'captured' not capturable. Meaning they can use A5 Juggernaughts by building them on Rothana only. Empire will use solely the A6.

 

Yes that's the best I can do with the ISD MKII - only has one Ion Cannons either side mind you. But I doubled it's firing rate to make up for it a bit. If I had placed them in other parts of the ship - it would not be right. I have re done the MKI as well. It should satisfy your needs for the ship now as well.

[Daft_vader_pff]

That for the Juggernauts will work

[shak4l 01]

Oh, that's good. Take note that A5 should have weaker armor than A6.

Ok, I'll not bug you about ISDs no more ;D They are correct now.

[Logan Felipe]

Does anyone know if the AT-TE is for Public use?

If not, is there a way I can ask fro permission?

@Logan - DV is right as far as that is concerned, you need to ask Avenger mate.

[Daft_vader_pff]

I didn't see a bug with the A-Wing

[shak4l 01]

@Logan Felipe

You don't need Avenger's permission, just give credit to Avenger and other authors of this model (I posted them somewhere earlier)

CiS permission update-read

EDIT: authors of AT TE are Psyk0Sith and Neomarz, Avenger only converted and animated it.

 

I didn't see a bug with the A-Wing

There was one with green icon of squadron being away from fighters.

Nice changes for Alpha 6.

After playing a bit more with the Rebels, I saw that you're right, Empire has lots of fighters now...  :-\

 

But Wookieepedia doesn't say that the Oppressor is non-cannon.

[jedi_consulor]

Some of the fighters for the empire will be made none buildable in later versions - they are buildable for now - for testing purposes, so things like the TIE Hunter and Imperial Gunboat's won't be buildable for example.

Hmmm...both TIE hunter and gunboat have hyperdrives

Making them not buildable is...well, un-canon but if you have other plan...

 

But Wookieepedia doesn't say that the Oppressor is non-cannon.

Maybe, but it appeared only in SW galaxies.

[Daft_vader_pff]

I think that only few Fighter classes should be buildable because teh Ships spawn so many

[HK-47]

Sorry to go off-topic, but:

Maybe, but it appeared only in SW galaxies.

And what's the problem with that? Many things only appeared in EaW, and as example others only in KotOR II (like the Basilisk War Droid that resembles the StarViper) and they aren't non-cannon - I know some consider EaW non-canon, so I used KotOR II as example.

Well, SotE is a canon mod at most, notice that 2-M tank (vehicle that appeared only in EaW so far) was changed to TX-130T (vehicle that appeared in many sources), Most ships was replaced with new models with more hardpoints, some heroes removed. I don't consider KOTOR I&II as non-canon, but EaW is messing up with canon.

Empire don't need another fighter anyways- maybe instead of  another TIE variant it would be better to put A-9 vigilance or I-7 Howlrunner.

BTW I have essential guide to droids and it don't shows that basilisk war droid resembles starviper.

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

I prefer the number of fighters the Empire has now as it gives more variety and more fun!

[HK-47]

The Emperor having fun with his 'toys'... 

[jedi_consulor]

The TIE Hunter was a rare breed I think just as the pilots flying them. (Used by Storm Commandos) so this is the reasons for removing it from build tabs,. It should be made playable in the game via some other resource. The alternative is to have it only buildable at one planet.

 

Being able to build lots of Gunboats is just the same as having lots of K-Wings I think. Too many can be over powerful, they need to be limited for better use. This make the player use them more wisely. I also have other ships that have limited build amounts - you haven't noticed ? - The Dominator (Interdictor Destroyer) and the Cruisers were only few a penny, the Empire did not have many of them. You want cannon, then certain ships no matter how nice they are have to be used in the game so there aren't too many of those types of ships.

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

Yes I am having fun with toys!

 

Yes I have noticed but I was trying to point to realism too.

[jedi_consulor]

ok guys I have finally added Katarn's Commando's to the game.

 

Team Leader (Kyle Katarn) of course this period of history - before Page took over.

 

Team consists of:

 

Kyle Katarn:

 

Gottu - Urban Combat Specialist

Idow - Urban Combat Specialist

Forral - Wilderness Fighter Specialist

Kasck - Infiltrator.

 

Not fully tested as yet - but I do not for see any real problems with them.

 

Any questions of course just ask

[ARC Trooper 111]

Sweet. Also,will you add the Gauntlet-Class SSD? It was used as escort for the Eclipse, I think.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Gauntlet_Star_Cruiser Edited March 12, 2007 by ARC Trooper 111

[shak4l 01]

No, we don't have Gauntlet class SD. It don't match timeline. However we are using model of it for Tector-class SD.

 

@JC

DOes any of katarn's commandos have rocket launcher/any other anti-tank weapon?

[wolfshadow]

Heyas...

 

Very excited to see the progress on this mod.  Been following it quitely since I got FOC a while back.

Any news on when there will be a version avalable for public download?

[shak4l 01]

 

Any news on when there will be a version avalable for public download?

 

Final release may happen in mid April. Depends how much will we add and number of bugs to fix.
