Victor III Escort Frigate image - Forum Wars: The Mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This Mod is now just a pet project carried out by s-t-n. Once the mod is in a state where staff is required, this page will be updated with full details and lots of media! Currently, I am currently working on:- Sound Galactic Map Planning And to a lesser degree I am working on:- Campaign Planning Galactic Conquest Planning
The Victor III Frigate, as her tooltip reads, was a modernised and readily available model of the old Mark II, designed for primarily anti-fighter duty. She is seen here firing her flak cannons (albeit only 2 shots; my bad on the screenshot, flak is intended to work in large clumps).
For this purpose, she has a large mass of anti-fighter flak cannons, firing solid slugs to rip through fighters. Unlike conventional corvettes, this frigate fires in bursts of large amounts of flak, relying on the density of her munitions and their area damage to rip nearby fighters from the sky. They function best in pairs or small groups, where their inaccurate but dense flak fire chews through fighters in the crossfire.
She also serves as an effective picket frigate, but with only 2 turbolasers besides her flak cannons, is not outfitted or armoured for capital ship warfare.
Cool! I've always loved these!
Check the more recent picture (and view the original for full zoom); it has much better view of the now finished flak projectiles at work.
