Hello everyone.
Since the last demo of Starfighter Secondarys, I have been implementing
some of the changes suggested by those people who left comments:
The lasers of the TIE-Fighter now fires like in
the movies.
And taking into account that Starvipers were a
bit overpowered in Vanilla FOC, I tried leaving them un-modified; In the tests
that ensued, they consistenetly got their asses handed to them when it came to
squadrons of A-wings/TIE-Interceptors and Starvipers flying at each other. However:
When Starvipers started right next to the A-wings/TIE-Interceptors (i.e,
inside the range of the Buzz Droids) the results were reversed.
So it basically boiled down to this:
At anything
resembling distance, Starvipers get owned;
At close quarters,
A-wings/TIE-Interceptors get owned.
Which seems to suggest to me that there is now balance.
B-Wings and TIE-Defenders are (now) too
close (In terms of strength and armament) to the standard fighters and thus
they will be getting an overhaul soon.
Also, as a part of celebrating my survival of 19 rotations
around the sun, I recieved that wonderful game that is Sins Of A Solar Empire: Rebellion.
(This explains in large part why I havent got more done)
I did, however, find time to do a bit more texture editing, mainly
fixing the textures of the Aurora - In the wrong light it looked REALLY, REALLY
UGLY - and I spent some time on re-texturing the Orbital Weapons platform.
(Which at this stage is a smaller Empire lvl. 1 Space Station)
This brings me nicely to my next topic: I'm Looking for a modeler person.
I don't have 3ds max, nor any experience with 3d Modellers.
If there is anyone who would like to make a model for me, please send
me a pm or email.
I am also thinking of replacing the Main Menu theme with something a
bit more Operatic (Star Wars is after all, a Space Opera) or something else
that is stirring and uplifting.
Naturally, I am looking for suggestions as to suitable scores. (NOT
DEATH METAL)
Finally,
Below is a link to a ‘FundRazr' campaign that I have set up. (Under the
