Description
B/SF-17 heavy bomber, replaces OTAS M8 (OTAS is Corellian Engineering and Incom merged company)
B/SF 17 or more commonly known as trashcan or cannon fodder is a great choice for any pilot willing to die a horrible death in the sweet cold arms of space.
It is equipped with the SNailDRive 2.0 engine, which allows it to accelerate to the unimaginable speed of 1m/sec. This impressive speed and the AntFart12b deflector shield helps enemy fighters and point defense to make short work of the ship.
Furthermore if the pilot uses Attack Pattern Retard and Formation Boomchain the probability of death can be increased significantly.
The bomber's defensive weaponry is only for show, but its payload ooooh man. It is equipped with 356 trillion spaceballs, which can be magnetically launched from the ship. Well if you can manage to fly over your target.
Finally let me introduce the pinnacle of spaceship technology, the most important part of the bomber's defenses: the Plotarmor 20000 TLJ variant. This awesome defensive mechanism creates a subspace anomaly in space-time, which allows one bomber of the squadron to reach its destination in any circumstances......................................................................................Oh i feel dizzy. Its like something disturbed my mental stability. Anyway the model looks awesome, it sucks that i have no time to play the mod :(
Keep up the good work!
you do realize what this is trying to emulate thru historical warfare right? If you think of it in that sense it fits the bill perfectly.
for those who have no clue what I'm speaking of. Look to World War II the "Good Guys" relied heavily on B-17 Fly Fortresses (USA) and the Lancaster (UK) the full name for the resistance bomber is the MG-100 Star Fortress!!! It fits this mold perfectly as the Flying Fortress was a death trap.
History FTW
I don't think anyone misses the historical references. It still is a wildly impractical and ineffective machine as it's shown on screen though.
I think many do, but I agree completely They were pointless. I think its a way to show just how backwards and desperate the Resistance was. The Y-wing wouldn't have been much better they always died too.
100% this.
Are you doing the same with Imperial and Terran ships? I'd love to see the raider class replace the Katana, for example. Great work, so excited for 1.0!
Terran are gonna stay Terran for now, just less presence in war sectors, The Empire is using Raider-class corvettes, so you'll will see more of them in the battle field, I'll be making updates to Ai life as the war goes on, these updates will not affect savegames.
Awesome! Really happy to see where the mod has gone, been here since about 0.6. Great work as always, can't wait to see what comes up too.
