Well Wookiepedia describes the Home One as a MC80 Battleship, It doesn't mention an MC85 - however, I think its possible that the MC85 was named such in the models as to not confuse the model with the other MC80 in the game. I have to say that according to wookiepedia that's what they call it. Hey according to my Star Wars Visual guide they call it a Calamari frigate ?! If you also check the article on the Home One on Wookiepedia it also has links to the Sister ships of the Home One - you will see either they have used those pictures of a Home One looking ship through lack of evidence to support what the other ships looked like - or its the latter that they all look the same. They were identical. If you have a ship that has a sister ship Take the Titanic for example - its sister ship follows the same designs as the original - perhaps with some minor differences. You just don't get a sister ship that looks totally different. Hence it would not be a sister ship - but an entirely different class of ship. This is way off topic from the mod itself. Anyone got idea's or things they would like to see in the mod itself ? - The Home One and its sister ships argument is full of conjecture - for the sake of this mod the screen shot I posted above is the model for those ships. Whether its an MC80 Battleship or an MC85 Battleship Thanks for the feedback on this ut I don't think it's that easily resolved. My sources I generally use are places like the TheForce.net and Wookiepedia, it can be argued not anyone site is then 100% accurate, after all everyone has the own take on the EU and such. You mentioned Dark Empire ? - I recall I have that in my collection too but when I say the earliest build date for the MC80-B was 1.5 years after the Battle of Endor - that came from two sources I'm happy with this information, and besides I said before this mod covers years from 0 ABY to +10 ABY JC

Yes sure I'm not getting anything out of Rapidshare right now though. Please use megaupload if sending me files. JC

The Mon Remonda was made after the Battle of Endor (the earliest building of them) I think I read 1.5 years after the Battle of Endor. I got that info from the Force.net I think - read about it today

Yes I am resizing the units as I go - no all their units appear to be the correct size. by the way the one with out wings could be the MC80A The one with Wings is the MC80 as far as I know. This information seems pretty messed up in peoples archives. There should be the MC80, MC80A the MC80-B and the MC85 Battle Cruiser - being the largest in the fleet. - the Home One was said to be the biggest ship in the fleet. It wouldn't have been that if it had just been a normal MC80A Class ship. (This is the one with out the wings) as far as I know. JC

Yes its a very good mod V3 the models are awsome.

LOL well for arguments sake we will assume the Home One is an MC85 for the sake of this mod. Rather than me coding three different models. We will say they are all MC85 Cruisers. They are supposed to be sister ships after all. They are supposed to be the same class of ship after all. So there are 3 ships of this class for the sake of this mod and to show that they are similar ships.

I don't think it is.. take a look at this quote.. So all of them were like sister ships to each other all being the same class of ship. Would make sense they are all the same ship but named different.

I don't think the Empire would have much use for the Interceptor V though would they ? - but sure that code could easily be done. The IPV and Pirate fighter could technically be unlocked via the Space Port I guess as special build units..hmm Yep that MC80-B is from Frankies mod - Expanded Space Units V3 - so if you want them for a personal mod you know where to look. Otherwise for a public mod you'd need to ask him. I already got permission to use the units

bit of a problem with that ability but I might be able to come up with some thing. You need requirements to corrupt a world such as completing a particular type of mission first. Such as Intimidation and so which in the prerequisites requires you have defilers and what ever else is required for a mission. Complicated I don't know if I could find away of doing this. But I am not saying its impossible, just need to analyse the code. JC Some more screens: MC80-B http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/MC80B_scrn.jpg

hmm no idea - I haven't thought about that. What are you thoughts on that - what would you like him to do ?

sure that would be cool Mikan please share the code. send me a PM ! I will most likely add Xizor as the Empire minor hero as I mentioned earlier - cheers

During this time period After Darth Vader failed on his mission to cloud city Vader was ordered to to work with Prince Xizor. To coordinate the shipment of materials for the construction of the Second Death Star. I was there for going to add Xizor as an Imperial Warlord (infringing hero) at the point were he was working with the Emperor, and trying to deceive people that Vader wants Luke Skywalker dead. So Prince Xizor would be added as a Warlord buildable for the Empire side. I don't necessarily have to add the entire Black Sun faction into this Story in the game.

First screenshot The Outrider (Dash Rendar's ship) - now been added to the game as an Infringing hero http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/Outrider_Dash_Rendar.jpg

Yes it does involve scripting I edited several Lua files to get the AI to see Ship yards in the game so it can build them. According to some people they say the AI will build them anyway. I really don't think that is the case you have to edit some of the Lua files in order for the AI player to know what it is building. Oh the Space Port, I got that idea on these forums.. know idea how the other one will be like though but I image the development will be different. I have decided to use a XQ2 Space Station model as the model for the game. I'll post plenty of screenshots of the game in the coming days. I am just working on a few things at the moment. But the next beta will have the Outrider in the game I hope. JC

I'll say again. This AI does apparently build shipyards. I appreciate your scepticism, but trust me it obviously did. There is no other way in the game it could have build an MC80B Cruiser - it has to be unlocked from a ship yard. It had also built other orbital structures too. It built a Golan I Station and an Orbital Space Port I added to the mod. With more testing we should be able to see how often it builds them, and how far into the game its starts building them. I think it was day 5 or 6 when they attacked Tatooine with quite a fleet - I was out gunned and had to retreat with a limping Admiral Thrawn

Shadow of the Empire is only loosely based on the name sake. It will feature Dash Rendars ship the Outrider though and Prince Xizor

no, and nope. I don't really see a place for them in the game. However As this mod is based loosely on Shadows of the Empire, it will feature Prince Xizor, and Dash Rendar as a space hero these will be coming up in the next beta builds when I get to doing them.

hmm well my AI does I had the rebels building heavy ships the other day as they attacked Tatooine that was lightly defended - they came at me with a few MC80 Cruisers

I added the Space Layer tag to a couple of Starfighters (TIE Fighter etc) and it seems when I zoom in on them now they are more visible that you can see what your looking at. My scale for the fighters in my game is 0.3 I used the Capital space layer to test this out. Other wise they are normally too small to see them clearly. With them being scaled at half the size they normally are.

Well there is always the beta program ? you want to be on it ?

Yep I know, this has been the problem mate Thanks for the icons I'll see how they look does any one want to see any screenshots of the unit in skirmish mode ?

There are a lot of people who still like the warlords conversions. Have to face facts if they hadn't of been done a good many mods would have not been possible. Personally me, I want balance in a mod I want more land units to the game as well as space units. I'll try to get my mod out with a good measure of both. I think land units have been neglected by people in mods only concentrating on space unit mods. I hope we will see more mods adding more land units. Mine for sure will be..

It works great Just tested it in skirmish mode. Thanks for the scale suggestion - I will do that scale for the model and see how it looks
