I remember a long time ago you created a moncalamri star destroyer hybrid - just for fun
Could you use that as a rebel unique maw ship?
A third unit would be nice, you could bring that awesome predator back which i think you removed?
Moddb.com
Yeah I was thinking about that ship too.
If the hybrids files weren't lost to time, which, sadly, they were, both Arvis and I no longer have the files anywhere, I'd consider it. The predator I wasn't overly fond of myself.
It is by far the best rendition around of the limited images you see online, it does look less imperial than the rest but i like the retraction mechanic.
hello, i have a problem with the mod, i bought the gog versin of the game and installed the mod, the mod works and has worked fine for the first few days but after the audio has stopped working, the game (gog version the steama and cd version still works) doesn't play the audio and if i go on settings i cant eve tuch the audio setting because its black, unfortunatly i cant give you a screenshot because when i try to get one the only thing i get is a white screen, biut that is a windows 10 problem, can you help me, i alredy tried redownloading the mod and replace the audio files with the new ones, any idea on how to solve this problem?
Very exciting changes.
I know it's appearing everywhere now but the Raider corvette could be a cool Maw research vessel. Give it a cloaking device and some powerful proton torpedo launchers so it can be like the submarine of Star Wars. Sneaks in cloaked, launches torpedoes and sneaks out or goes power to engines out of there.
I might give this to the mc 30...mmm, evil thoughts...
Looking forward to the update and changes, sounds pretty good and fun!
oooooooh Goody :DDDD
Like those plans, sounds very promising :)
Nice, I wonder how you'll make it happen. ;)
the Legacy-SD makes more sense, but I'd love to see your take on the Malevolence.
---Crap, I forgot I wasn't logged in---
These changes are wonderful, very streamline. I can't wait for these changes to come.
I also can't wait to take on those new space stations. They look amazing. Also if it's not too much trouble do you think it would be possible for the new research station to spawn a garrison to defend itself. Probably Tier 3 ships at the maximum.
It would be awesome to see them have a unique animation of them coming out of the station from a docking position like the Star Destroyer's you showed in the other concept picture.
I know it's more than likely improbable; but on a more hypothetical level would that even be possible with the game engine?
Maybe through some heavy scripting, but I'm not going to do that. It'll have a reasonable garrison, but the station itself has enough weapons to adequately defend itself without issues.
Here is me hoping to at least having at least a star destroyer to 3 destroyers (since it's an advanced research base)
That's alright. I still think the station is going to be a formidable obstacle to overcome so I'm going to look forward to this update either way.
Thank's for answering my question.
P.S - Still a badass station design. I don't know how you did it but damn dude. It's outstanding.
Thanks, the station itself was a commission from someone, that's when someone pays me to make something for them, and a lot of commissioned stuff I end up using in the mod in some way. Wasn't sure at first if I would be able to use a station of this size but for this it fits perfectly.
And the blue diver as a research for the rebellion instead of another mc-80?
Moddb.com
That qualifies as "gunbarge" since it doesn't perform any function other than weaponplatform and carrier.
And making this area in the circle heavy ion cannons and reducing the amount of turbolasers and health?
Gyazo.com
The ship disable the enemy ship and relies in his own fighters/bombers to take it down.
Nah, not specific and visually clear enough. People need to be able to see that the ion cannons are powerful, this is why Nebula has the large turret, unique firing sound, unique projectile particle and unique projectile impact. And still I get questions from idiots "Yo bro the nebula is a worthless battleship dawg, what's it for?"
You have to smack the fact that this ship is for disabling other ships in their face because people are to stupid to understand it otherwise. The blue diver just doesn't have the "I disable starships" look to it.
One last stupid idea. Remove side hangar bays and add malevolence ion cannons in that place
https://gyazo.com/6a56c8dc59aceea3b2dbdea4d3c5526b
Yeah, that is a stupid idea. The previous ones weren't, but this is.
Support the steam version will be in the new version?
already supported. read the summary on the home page
Is the Titan Star Destroyer, based of the model in HW2 warlords mods, and in other previous EAW Mods? Or is it a new design?
The Titan was based on Anon Cruiser #1. The EJ titan looks cool for sure but if you want a bit more original Fractal did a real quick sketch of Anon 1 on page 46 of the star destroyer.net forum.
Bbs.stardestroyer.net
Just as another researchable ability what about long range Turbolasers.
The Legacy type used right now would look out of place. When you redo the Legacy SD, you should design it such that it better fits the style of the Nebula SD.
When-ever people spew forth these opinions, with no arguments to back them up whatsoever, it always ends up sounding like some random guy comes barging into my home, tells me I need to move my cabinet, bed, and computer desk. Why? I don't know, he just felt like saying it. Might as well talk to a wall at that point, since I disregard such talk the moment the mind finishes processing the words.
Why would it look out of place, why should it be in the style of my Nebula sd, and what style is that even? These are the questions that spring to mind when reading stuff like this. Without them answered, I can't take any of what you said in your comment seriously.
Aside from the texture, I think it looks fairly ok: Media.moddb.com
And it will look even better when you finish overhauling it, but i have a couple of questions with the "new" units, the MC80 with the deflector shield "looks" a bit overpowered because it has no shield hardpoint to destroy, the power to shields ability and your new glorious model has even more firepower than the one who is on the actual version of the mod, even if the hp is the same on both ships it looks like a BIG improvement for the rebels (at least on paper).
The vengeance will be only built on the Maw?, or they will still have access to the Mass driver version, I ask this because if you remove the standard one, the consortium will lose the almost only long range ship in their rooster (not counting the aggressor, who is built for heavy long range suppresion against BIG targets, and even then, it miss half of the shots..., Damm you Alamo engine...)
I believe that you have some kind of master plan for all of this ****, but i still have those 2 concerns
I actually only now just remember that it's called the Aggressor, not the Vengeance. The Vengeance will remain in place, the Aggressor will be moved up, is what I meant with the whole thing. Damn how did that pass me by lol.
Obviously the Maw versions of units will be a lot stronger than their standard counterparts, that's the point of them. The mod however is balanced around the non-maw units obviously, so if you can't get the Maw under your control you'll still be able to win, it'd be rediculous otherwise.
Thanks for answering J, although it could l be cool having a Beam Vengeance too, like some kind of ultra expensive long range anti frigate unit with low rate of fire and almost pinpoint accuracy, (and because beamz rules, no one could argue with that XD)
Also i remember the Arcus siege plattform costing a fortune on The old republic at war (9500?), so if you go this way too, i´ll have no complains.
And the last question for now: these new units will be available on skirmish too?, or do you plan on making some kind of special map with the new space station in it?
I didn't elaborate because I thought it was self-evident. I agree more now that I see your reference. I was using this as a point of reference:
Img06.deviantart.net
I thought it would look out of place because of the aft of the ship. The image emphasizes the size of the venator-like engine block, something atypical of Rebel like ships. Plus it has a really large developed bridge. But nevermind you right, I concede.
The Nebula is just the perfect fit for the Maw. It's a highly advanced ship and much newer than the Legacy in the Star Wars timeline hence perfect for it being developed in an advanced research station. Why not make the Legacy the tier 5 and the Nebula the Maw ship. Nebula's advanced research could make it a longer range, more accurate heavy ion platform so it does the disabling role better than the Legacy plus it can have better speed and shielding to keep with that advanced research ship theme. Legacy has the firepower to always make it useful and still has heavy Ions that give it a chance against ISD's but they aren't longer range so it can't sit back and disable like the Nebula and it has to take fire.
This is answered in the picture, the nebula is the ship disabler. Without the ion cannon, it doesn't disable, and then we have no unique tier 5 warship, which means no tier 5 warship at all.
Against ISDs you don't want ion cannons, you want turbolasers. Imperial shields are ****, but their capital ship armor is some of the heaviest in the mod. Rebellion has the strongest shields, which is why pretty much all high level imperial and consortium ships don't have shield penetrating weapons, save a few here and there, the mod is balanced around the Rebellion having their shields.
And then there's the Kandosii, with its semi-nukes, being OP as usual. You can buy almost two mon cal cruisers for the cost of a single Kandosii though.
With the Legacy being the tier 5 you still keep it a unique Ion cannon ship thanks to those big turrets. Other option is the Recusant destroyer which has some massive cannons on the front that could be made heavy ion cannons. There's the smaller version or the 2.5+ km version that Grievous used in one of TCW episodes that makes it look more fitting for a tier 5. Basically I think the Nebula is a perfect fit for the Maw research ship, and sounds like you had the same thought at one point, so I am just throwing out ideas for a Rebel tier 5 to replace it that would keep the same role the Nebula currently serves. Nebula can keep its Ion cannon though personally I'd make it a long range heavy turbolaser so the tier 5 is an Ion disabler and knocks out the shields then the Nebula barrages the unshielded target from afar.
Just re-watched that battle and the giant Recusant would be a cool tier 5
Youtube.com
Lots of turrets on it plus a giant chin turret that could be made an Ion Cannon.
Will we see more "local" ships ?
Like for example the Hapan Battle Dragon?
No. I don't add units for the sake of adding units. It's uninspired and lazy, and I don't do either of those.
The rebellion lacks any really any sort of ship for dealing with the armor of the imperial late tier ships.
How about giving them the actual canon Mk 1 Starhawk class battleship.
It was built using parts scrapped from imperial star destroyers and it was a totally unique new republic/rebel ship. It had firepower that was more powerful then an imperial star destroyer and had a unique weapon a tractor beam that used magnite crystals which gave the tractor beam 10 times the power of a star destroyer. This tractor beam was used to destroy a star destroyer during the battle of Jaku.
The fact that it had such a powerful tractor beam could give you interesting options in how to use it or incorporate it which would make the ship unique. And it would give the rebels at least one powerful ship they could use.
And it looked like this, even the look of the ship fits with the rebels since it has the mon calamari design.

I'd be fine with the kandosii though as well.
So I'm new to this mod and I was wondering what the supply crate upgrades do in the galactic conquest when I'm defending my space station and buying the upgrades?
Hey man, love your work!
I only have one problem: Is there a way to have the old space stations back?
I love the new ones and all, but to be honest I prefer having different space stations for each faction. They would also change looks after each upgrade.
Like is there some file that I need to find and delete/change, I was trying to do this all night.
Everything else is superb and very authentic.
