Negh'Var Polaron Beam image - The Trek Wars - Revival mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This mod is a “Revival”, that is, a continuation of the original Trek Wars mod made by SMG Modding team. The “original” Revival team (led by Kavok) added factions such as the Klingons, Romulans and Dominion as opposed to the SMG Modding Team that had only added the Federation. Now, a new team, led by Imperial aim to continue these teams’ great work by refining their work and adding brand new content. Our progress has been slow, but we have been working on a new release that will add a lot of new content, and with the help of new team members, our team is producing more content than ever before!
Negh'Var firing its Ion Cannon at a turret. For some reason the beam won't fire from the hardpoint at the front selected, although the particle is there.
Was it not a Polaron Beam in Armada II? Looks not like an Ion shot. :)
The Negh'Var Ion Cannon in Armada 1 and 2 was a large fireball. In the Armada 3 mod for Sins of a Solar Empire this was changed to a beam weapon which looks cooler, so I decided to follow its lead.
Absolutely, the beam is much better than this stupid ball. Nevertheless, I would give it the cooler name "Polaron Beam" instead of "Ion Shot". Sounds not too Star Wars-ish. :)
