This is a total conversion of Sins of a Solar Empire. five new playble races will be introduced each with differing play styles and apearances. The focus of this mod will be small and large scale fleet stratagy and empire building.
For as long as the T.E.F has existed it has been plagued by not only alien menaces but also homegrown ones such as raiders and Terrorists, and whilst the fleet can handle these problems it cannot be everywhere at once so the T.E.F has been using orbital defence platforms to diswade enemy ground troop but also to keep enemy ships at arms length. The most recent addition to the T.E.F's orbital arsenal is the H.V.O.D.P railgun. this orbital weapon is a half kilometre long cannon (which to put this in percpective is 1 and a half times the size of the empire state building of old earth) this enourmous length allows for the round to be fired at massive velocities striking with an impact of 50 kilotons more then double the power of the nuclear bomb dropped on hiroshima. The weapon still has its drawbacks such as its slow turning due to the mass of the weapon this means that it can be difficult to target much smaller faster ships such as frigates. Also the magnetic coils all need to be recharged after every shot and there are alot of coils so the firing rate is pretty lousy. The weapon however is still extremly powerful against larger foes and despite its often expensive pricetag it is a must have for any T.E.F world.
ok so this is an orbital defence turrent the smooth beams are gonna be solid metal beams so they will be the texturers job to make pretty
It looks like a ship. Maybe make it not so long?
well it wont look to much like a ship once it is textured "hopefully" since alot of it will have the apearance of solid metal but maybe making it shorter might help
Alright.
lol im sure it will look great putting a kinetic round through the command deck of a Brawler regardless
Ohhh yes.
