Ranger - Class Gunship 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!
Following the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty, the New Republic Defense Fleet began to focus its efforts on eradicating pirate and smuggler threats in the Outer Rim Territories. As such, the Fleet required a vessel capable of engaging small to mid-sized starships while matching the speed of outlaw vessels. The Ranger-class was designed to fill that role specifically, and proved effective with its powerful turbolaser cannons and "hi-track" quad laser batteries. The design principles were based on the Lancer-class frigate.
Fast, well armored with decent shielding, ability to detect stealth units and and 5 quad fast tracking AA turrets with 2 dual medium turbolaser turrets.

gotta say you have not disappointed at all looks incredible cant wait so see this little beast in action :D
Looks quite good ;)
Quite??? :/
;)
there can always be MOAR dakka but thats what capital ships are for ;)
I have to say this is one of my favorite ships so far. It looks really cool, kinda reminds me of a helicopter with the lowered front part.
And almost everything that has "gunship" in its name is awesome by default.
It is supposed to be a sensor craft as well.... Right? Or am I insane?
It can detect stealth units ;)
Are there even stealth detectors in the game? Don't recall that ever being used by anyone, or seeing it.
Well if I remember correctly, Vanilla FOC had some guard towers on the Dathomir mission that would reveal your stealth heroes (like Zahn, and Urai)
Ok so Im not crazy it really did have enhanced sensors on the shortened Nebulon B frame and held quite a bit of anti Frigate type firepower. Awesome.
This is the one I've been waiting for.
Fits in very well alongside the other units in the picture. I think you've done very well guys. Congrats on a solid design.
"Ability to detect stealth units"
Is that something that's being implemented to the mod in some way?
Yes, it is :) we plan to use the line of code, I Think, from jedi masters and sith lords in FoC, whereby they can detect cloaked Consortium units. This in vanilla terms would be equivalent to giving stealth-detect ships the force, but it does get the job done.
However, if the sensor array gets destroyed, we plan to have it lose this ability and decrease line of sight range. That's the plan anyway... ;)
Going to be interesting trying to link that ability to the sensor array. Also've never seen anyone use a sensor array on a ship. Only seen it on space stations so far.
Tie Phantom was stealth, Vengeance Frigate was stealth, Urai Fen was stealth, Tyber Zann was stealth.
Luke also had stealth, if I remember correctly.
Quick question. If I had a big battleship cruising into battle and it's shields went down, and then engines went down, would it just go like it had lost main propulsion and went on backup thrusters, which are in the same section as Main Propulsion anyways, or would it be like losing your main engineering section and you would lose movement capabilities other than turning?
Thank you for providing a picture for me to see when reread the NJO books. Could picture the shield ships and the ImpStar but never the Ranger
