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!
Sometimes all you need is a little luck, or maybe it was the Force carefully pushing us in the right direction.
As we've hinted at, we're modernising the mod's framework, and a lucky shot in the dark opened up a path we previously thought blocked.
After dismissing the possibility to dynamically display objects in the galactic map ages ago, we have found a way to pull this off.
Don't be fooled by the screenshot, it originates from the development environment for the new version of the framework, thus none of our custom assets are present. But nonetheless, the giant Tartan Cruiser is a bigger breakthrough than you might think. This Tartan Cruiser is a proof of concept, that we can display and manipulate objects on the galactic map during gameplay without the object being part of any vanilla system like the fleets, planets or buildings.
We can now think outside the box, add or display stuff you couldn't previously see:
+ More orbital structures than the vanilla two.
+ New visual effects reflecting the state of objects.
+ New visual indicators which reflect new gameplay elements.
DISCLAIMER: Items in this list are examples, not a fixed list of things to appear in the mod. This feature is a complete and utter surprise to us. No planning has gone into how to utilise this feature or whether it will be utilised at all.
Ah, the Tartan-Class Star Dreadnought. Truly the Pinnacle of Imperial engineering.
lol
so, will we see Worldships dominate the north?
We've just discovered this feature.
No clue how we'll utilise it.

Well ******* done guys!
This is what YV worldships would look like if they were a robotic race.

We shall continue to watch your career with GREAT interest.
My lord, is this... legal?
I will make it legal
Best. Reply. EVER!
This must be something I remember hearing was in the vanilla game long ago and was removed before Petroglyph released the game.
No, it's more like we're doing something we're really not supposed to, but it worked anyways.
if the tyranids super hive was an underpowered imperial escort...
