Basically this mod will just adjust the units and gameplay of FoC to make it more canon to Star Wars lore. At the moment it will only be space. This means all ships will be rescaled and the amounts and types of weapons will be increased in order to try and bring them to spec. This is not meant to balance the game, but to make it more "realistic". There will be no fancy new ships or stunning new graphics (yet), just a difference in gameplay that will hopefully mimic the style and action of the films.
Some more images from the mod. By the way, with the Acclamator, if anyone has any idea how to let it be dropped off at a set height above the ground instead of at ground level, let me know. I have tried many things, but no luck. I'd really like to have it appear already in the air.
is this space and land in the same battle cause that would be cool
not exactly, this is the closest thing the game engine will allow as far as i know
well basically you can add all space ships to land battles too with hardpoints included
the gargantuan has hardpoints
it is possible but lots of codding is needed
I was wondering, wouldn't turbolasers made for space combat instantly pwn anything they shot at on the ground?
since most sw space weapons have yields in the gigaton range (despite trekkie claims to the contrary), yes. however, i did my homework, and there have been several instances of capital ships providing support fire to ground forces without nuclear-level detonations. therefore, assuming the empire wants to capture a planet intact, smaller-scale weapons are assumed to be in use. (dont worry, though, they are still strong enough to almost instantly pwn unprotected ground forces anyways)
