This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
Recently I found some pictures of the ISD I model that Fractalsponge made, the one that I based my star destroyer on. It actually posessed a detail I didn't have on my ship, as I used his ISD II model for my ship. I added the small side turrets, 2 quad ion cannons, and removed 6 single ion cannons from the ship to compensate for the increased firepower.
That, and I finally fixed the issue where the turrets of both the Victory, and the ion cannons of the Belllator refused to point up. Simple pivot point misrotation. Works now. And that's about it really.
o.o
Looking at these pictures it's easy to forget that they're for a ~7-year-old strategy game...amazing work!
Honestly, waiting this long kills me, but it's the best thing ever.
I can't count how many times I see someone rush something out the door because they think it's ready, only to patch it many times after release.
But you take your time on things, like people should, and fix things you know are broken, and add things you think should be added.
In all honesty, when someone does this kinda stuff in their free time, doing it because they love doing it, it becomes a lot better than when your getting paid to meet a deadline, and that's why I love this site.
Just make sure that it ACTUALLY gets released...no rush. ;P
Thank you, and no worries, it'll most certainly come out ;)
Sweet I figured you had already seen that model before so I didn't post it here but if anyone could make that turret I knew you could. Awesome job now it looks just like Fractals.
Dang IPod thought I was still logged on as me.
Though I had seen his ISD I before once, I never bothered to look at it closer again, and thus missed the turret. Can't let such a classic piece of weaponary to unnoticed now can we ;)
Here is the link to the ISD 1 page and details in Fractal's thread in case you want to see more pictures of it
Bbs.stardestroyer.net
Oh I know the pages, just didn't remember he made a specific ISD I. Have looked a lot at his ISD II though, on his page: Fractalsponge.net
I figured you knew the thread when you had seen the mc90 pictures but I figured just in case I'd post the link. Maybe other people who visit this page might find it useful.
I would wish fractal did a few more Mon Cal designs, would love to see his take on the MC 80 for example. He usually does star destroyer like ships though.
Yeah I would love to see that too. I didn't discover the thread till last year but he did some sketches for the Mandator 1-3 which I really want to see but unfortunately the link is dead. I'm guessing they would look more like the Bellator and Assertor so I want to see him finish something like that too. Or the Tector is another I'm anxiously waiting for. Pretty much every ship he touches gets that much cooler.
"si" trust EAW & FOC not to be compatible with Windows 8.1, so now I can't play this mod, good going Microsoft.
To be fair, don't install 8, you should downgrade to 7, it's far supperiour.
Great Job
