Arachnid Dragonfly Bomber image - Starship Troopers: 1st Interstellar War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Currently being developed by Starside R&D, this is a Total Conversion mod for the game Star Wars: EaW Forces of Corruption from Petroglyph Studios. You decide who has the right to survive, the Terran Federation or the Arachnids and their allies, the Skinnies. It will include space & land skirmish and Galactic Conquest and is based on various aspects taken from the movie, animated TV series, and the original book. Command your Forces in the silence of space or the roar of the battlefield, be it the Terran Federation or the Arachnid/Skinny Alliance. Use old favorites as well as brand new units developed for this conflict.
The Arachnid "Dragonfly" Bomber is slow, lightly armored, and only generates two plasma "bombs" at a time but those two bombs pack a major punch. Traveling in swarms of 3 and usually escorted by at least one swarm of "Wasp" Fighters, they are feared by the capitol ships they are designed to take out.
Model made by Rebelmoon.
nice :)
EaW supports model animations doesn't it? I would love to see snapping jaws and undulating tails and flapping wings in this mod :-P
I would say that at least 50% of the Bug Schips schuld be animated
I agree it would be very cool but I have very little experience in animating and I'm not sure on how much time I want to spend learning that aspect and then animating at least 7 models to cover 50% of the bug ships. All I can say is I will consider it for a later release but the 1st beta version probably won't be animated.
Currently I'm fine tuning the bug designs I've put together over the past year and trying to come up with some designs that will represent the bug hero ships.
to my knowledge it doesnt support model animation in the space half of the game (somehow) and only the ground half
Well, I know the defense satellites have build animations, but I'm not sure how much of a toll multiple constant animating ships flying around would have on game lag. I assume it would be considerable. Regardless, it's not high on my priorities now. ;)
It should drop a plasmabug for the bombs they make nice BOOM!
