This mod will replace many parts from the original content converting the game in a complete Star Wars mod with 9 factions. Rebel Alliance, Galactic Empire, Black Sun, Old Republic (Clone Wars), CIS, Krayt Empire, Fel Empire/Galactic Alliance, and other three factions which I have not choosen by the moment.
Here you can watch a video with the Super Laser from the Death Star firing at a tactical battle. Probably it needs be increased at size. The range is probably the maximun in the game. But the point is clearly how it can destroy a ship with one single shot.
About destroy planets. The feature is not finished at 100% and it needs some tweaks. With luck, it will be finished soon.
Now the point can be if the mod will be released with the destroy planets feature or without it at a first version. It depends from how many time it takes. At the end, with the last changes, I need make some changes in the designs and it will take a bit more of time.
About the Super Laser, perhaps the Death Star will not be the most fun unit with this weapon. When you see the SSD Eclipse, you will agree with me.;)
