Description
So taking a bit of a break from the constant clone style stuff, I've been debating the fact if I had wanted to go about giving special features to a planet beside their bonus. For instance, if you own Corellia, you'll unlock the ability to build the CR90, the DP20, or possibly the Gozanti. Or if you own Mon Calamari, you'll be able to build the MC55 (In the photos), the MC80, MC80 Home One, or MC30.

I really like this idea!
Well, since most planets were known to have produced items unique to themselves during the Clone Wars period, you could encode many unique opportunities into your mod.
For instance, Corellia not only produced the CR90 and DP20, but also a destroyers, battleships, freighters, and a whole host of other units.
Also, the CSF had Jedi working within their ranks, so you could create a special buildable squad of CFS Special Forces, and some of the members could have a force power combined with a regular ability, especially as not all Jedi carried lightsabers, and Corellian Jedi were considered to be Gray Jedi in most instances.
So, blaster wielding force-sensitives would not be rare in the CSF. Limit the number of squads one can have, and increase their cost to balance them out, and you would have a unit which is currently not in any other mod, at least that I have ever seen.
Anyhow, just an idea and example of something unique to a single planet.
For MonCal, it is interesting that the Quarren also built warships.
Thyferra's bacta could make creating a special medic with wide area effect plausible.
The carbonite tech of Polis Massa was not exclusive to the Underworld, and there could be possibilities there.
The tech of sonic blasters from Geonosis were also used by Imperial Field Commanders in SW BF II. Perhaps an advanced FC equipped with this and a swappable grenade launcher (also SW BF II) could be unlocked by conquering Geonosis.
Like I said, just suggestions though...
Well, there's the fact I lack models for most of those, but space wise, Doci could probably handle it.
I do like those ideas, and I might put some of them into play.
Cool :D
Is this a MC-55 MonCal ? :)
It's indeed the MC55.
