ARC-170 image - Republic Assault: The Clone Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Republic Assault is a full scale conversion mod for the Petroglyphy game Star Wars Forces of Corruption. Using elements from both the current canon, and existing EU to create the best possible game experience.
The new fighter/bomber for the Republic at tech level 4, the ARC-170 is equipped with a multitude of weapon systems. Featuring a proton torpedo launcher for heavy payload against heavy ships, and structures, and a total of 6 laser cannons. 2 face backwards to protect against oncoming enemy star fighters, and the other 4 are use in fighter (Or other enemy ship) pursuit. The final stats are yet to be determined (It's a lot of laser cannons), but this is a heavy ship.
Also, I'm thinking of releasing 0.7 soon, at least before school resumes for me in a few weeks. 0.7 is going to feature enhanced/different models, more CIS ships, and a better GC at this point (All are subject to change), so be on the lookout for that.

Not a fan of those small red wings but ok
I assume you mean the smaller ones, right? If so, I feel the same as you , though I do have a plain version of the ARC so I might be able to remove it with a bit of photo editing.
They're supposed to look like that.
No, at least not the ones that can fold in and out. At least, last I saw.
Are you talking about the coloring of the S-foils? Or the S-foils themselves?
The texture on them, they have red on the tips, not red striping.
Gotcha. I thought you two were referring to the wings rather than the wings' texture.
Will we be able to spawn them in ground battles? Like anti aircrafts or just for that because I saw that in one mod.
I'd like to get fighters in land combat. Though I'm not quite sure how to get such a thing to work at the moment. At least with bombers anyways.
It loos great!
Wow, that's spot on. Will we be getting different colored 170's (like green or blue) if a certain jedi is present in the battle?
I swear, I think I've seen that somewhere..
I've got a plain, and blue skin ARC. Though I'm not sure if I'll put them to use.
If you're referring to seeing the model somewhere else, it is from the game Clone Wars Adventures.
Nah, I was talking about the color scheme changing. I swear I've seen that happen in some other Mod...it was based off of TCW series if I remember correctly. /:
Should be just 4 laser cannons, right? 2 foward-facing and 2 rear-facing. Don't see any others, and Wookiepedia as well as at least one book I have confirm that as well.

I think it's actually 2 front facing and one rear facing. The two smaller 'guns' on the tip of those wings are actually targeting sensors.
"In the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith The Visual Dictionary, the starfighter was said to have a projectile cannon above their wing mounted laser cannons."
Starwars.wikia.com
2 back facing ;) I have a RL model at home xD
Dunno where ya saw that on the wiki page. The armament list states it only has "Forward-mounted medium laser cannons (2)"
It might be that way, but it's fine the way it is.
Cool
