Space catapults. You got to love them.
Face it, nothing instills fear in the heart of an army commander as seeing a big, lumbering device of total destruction being dragged into a firing position. Over time, names have changed, but the idea remained the same - to drop something big, heavy and possibly explosive on the other guy's head.
The Last Stand mod follows this fine tradition of warfare by giving each new faction a specialized capital ship which has only one role - to deal massive damage at extreme range. And as these things go, they are also made of glass, at least compared to the hulking battleships on the front line.
For the Xin, the ship in question is the Sovereign.
Much like other Xin capitals, the Sovereign is immense in size. In fact, these ships are so large they have been known to get stuck in denser asteroid fields at times, though certainly not for long - one discharge of its powerful weapon is usually enough to clear any such paltry obstacle as a floating rock!
And while the Sovereign is a powerful ship when used correctly, care must be taken not to place it in situations where its weaknesses, most notably the lack of strong shields and less-that-average armor plating, can be exploited. Also, to fire its main weapon, the Sovereign must not only align itself with its target, which makes it incapable of tracking and targeting smaller and nimbler ships, but it also has to expend a significant amount of its internal power reserves. Stock ships are estimated to have enough power to fire only five or six shots before their weapon capacitors need recharging.
This mod is awesome. I wish I had the technical skills needed to help.
The quality is unbelievable
It's the giant space jelly fish with a big sting! Nice work!
Great job guys, I really love the idea and the models.
awesome.
