A/SF-03 B-Wing Lancer Superiority Fighter image - Yuuzhan Vong at War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
The pinnacle of Verpine technology, the Lancer project set out to push the B-Wing concept to the limits. Using the same armor strength hull and shield generator as the previous 2 B-wings, the Lancer's removal of the S-Foil wings allowed greater stress to be endured by the frame of the spacecraft, which allowed for maximized acceleration. The Lancer was noted to be as fast as an X-wing, possibly slightly faster. The increased speeds allowed the fighter to perform as an excellent Superiority fighter to hunt enemy fighters. The Lancer maintained its gyrocockpit as well to make it an increasingly difficult target for pursuing enemy fighters as well.
Armed with the 4 cockpit mounted blasers, the Lancer also kept its twin torpedo launchers in the main hull, and in the twin tail gun pods featured 2 concussion missile launchers. This increased payload enabled the Lancer to focus on a wider variety of targets, switching from fighters to capital ship targeting locks with dead eye precision thanks to its advanced targeting systems. With the removal of the S-Foils, an additional third heavy laser cannon was installed as well as a third medium ion cannon, making the Lancer a very deadly craft against everything.
Total Armament:
4 cockpit mounted blasters
3 medium ion cannons
3 heavy laser cannons
2 proton torpedo launchers
2 concussion missile launchers
Due to the additional weaponry and faster speeds of the Lancer, its weapons systems and flight avionics proved to be too much to handle for human pilots and most other species, and were only capable of being fully utilized by the Verpine themselves.
Model Design: Kitbash of Battlefront 3 (unreleased) B-Wing by Burntstrobe

The last of the B-Wing lineage.
The 01 B-Wing was classified as an assault bomber. It has no special abilities in the game, but is just a very heavily armed weapons platform. This will allow the player to select the unit while playing and press "C" to center the focus of the camera on the B-Wing squadron and enjoy its animation without having to worry about special abilites. The 01 will automatically deploy/undeploy and rotate while firing all of its weapons.
The 02 Aurora Bomber is a fixed wing bomber with no animations, but has a much stronger armament better suited to capital ship destruction. The Additional torpedoes and mass drivers of the Aurora make it a ship killer.
The 03 Lancer is faster, and its weapons are designed for handling both fighters and small capital ships. Heavy lasers can drain shield power almost as fast as ion cannons, which allow blasters to shred through the hulls. Concussion missiles cannot bypass shields, but do heavy damage against exposed hulls. In addition, the 3 ion cannons and 2 proton torpedoes allow the Lancer to be able to engage just about any type of target and prove victories thanks to its increased speeds.
We will be working on the rotational animations of the Lancer soon, expect to have all 3 B-wings released over the next few days.
also..., I do wonder how many fans of ours can call themselves a "Legacy Fan", and actually remember when we first announced the Verpine variants...
Moddb.com
we have come a long way :)
Remember it? I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning! No wait, I can, Toaster Strudel! But my memory still sucks! But I still remember when concept art was show, it had that weird inside a box with mirrors look.
I remember the one first anouncement, just hope the vagaari fighter you guys anounced a bit after comes soon!
so the missiles wont bypass shields in the mod?
So... Are you guys gonna do this kind of stuff for many other ships or just fighters/nebulons?
The Nebulons were unique with variants because there were many made. It was a highly modular ship used by many factions, and we had found canon references to all of the varieties. We still need to texture the Nebulon B2, but we have decided to remove the Nebulon H from the mod.
The Verpine developed the B-wing, and the 2 variants were found on the web and listed by other sources, the Lancer being here: Rpggamer.org
I do not think any other ships get different variations, just the Nebulon series and the B-wings
No Nebulon-H? Will we still get the model release?
isn't RPGgamer about 90% fanon? I'm pretty sure if it's not on Wookieepedia it doesn't exist. (read that in Jocasta Nu's voice, lol) I thought this was a "Legends Canon" mod?
we have expanded upon some areas of lore with our own custom fannon. I would say the mod is about 90% true to the novels, for they are our Bible. We are about 80% true to Legends, and the rest is fannon lore developed to fill in plot holes that were just left unanswered in the novels.
We have to make a game that is balanced for 3 factions to be 3 fully complete storylines with successful and unsuccessful story lines. To do this, we needed to create some of our own lore to fill in the missing pieces. We also honor community favorite fannon designs, such as the works of Drone, FractalSponge, EvilleJedi, and AdomKop.
Fair enough answer. :)
*laughs worriedly and prepares tie fighter armada and lancer frigates*
Looks nice as usual.
But one pointless question: how it lands? I think it's not so comfortable. xD
it does not land, used exclusively for within the Roche Asteroid system only. It just docks with clamps at hangars.
and as mentioned, the entire body will rotate around the cockpit just like the B-wing, so in a vertical docking postion
Oh, exclusively, nice.
Vertical position not so comfortable too, i think. Too high xD
Ok, just kidding. It's awesome x).
I really like how much love and passion you put in every single thing of this mod.
so.. Roche system will be in the mod?
Looks so much like SWTOR's BT-7 Thunderclap ship (the Rep Trooper transport)
But still awesome design ^^
