Something new... the Torpedo Sphere image - Star Wars Rise of Hope mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Star Wars Rise of Hope is a mod that will be based on the early Empire and its fall against the Rebel Alliance and its following sucessor the New Republic.
The Torpedo Sphere was a massive mobile battlestation manufactured with the purpose of knockning out a planet's planetary shields.
The proton torpedo tubes were designed to fire simultaneously in a single salvo. Because all the tubes had to be calibrated and coordinated to fire by teams of technicians, the launchers could not be automatically fire-linked, and therefore could not be synchronized to fire at targets less than planet-sized. It was possible to link up to fifty tubes together using fire-link controls taken from other weapons to target and fire at normal starships.
Along the proton torpedoes, it was armed with several turbolasers and around the tubes there was a ring of 10 heavy dual turbolaser turrets.
In the mod, we still dont have the capacity to use planetary shields the way we would wish to do. The Torpedo Sphere will have another role, it will serve as a support ship against the shields of Mon Calamari ships, being those the best shields in the mod and the proton torpedoes being able to pass through them.
Also, I´m happy to say that this model was made completely made by me. I know its a simple design compared to other ships but still I´m proud of myself.
Great job! Keep up the progress :D
Good job commander.
Ah, yes. More things for my Starfighters to destroy!
So the MC80 ship shields are so powerful even an ISD or the Executor will have trouble with them?
You´re going a bit away with the Executor having problems with a Mon Calamari shields, but what I meant is that their shields are the best on the game.
If a Star Destroyer engages a MC80, it will take a bit to get down its shields but ultimately in a 1 vs 1 situation the MC80 loses.
The Torpedo Sphere is meant to accelerate this process or in other case support a fleet consisting of smaller ships than a ISD.
It depends on your way to play, if you want to spend your money on 15 ISDs and destroy everything at your way or if you like being more diverse with your fleet. Like the Crimson Command, a fleet of smaller yet faster ships.
Man, so good.
Nice work I take it the 10 cutouts are for the turbos.
You´re right ;)
Their shield generators will be no match for us now!
Even if they are from old Praetor's!
