An aging cruiser developed before the Civil War, the Broadside gained much fame for its notable heavy armor and devastating salvos of Concussion Missile volleys. Hindered by slow speed, the Broadside was still a challenging target. Heavy reinforced armor plating and dual shield generators gave the ship the ability to take quite a beating. The ship was armed with 3 forward fixed Concussion Missile launchers for dealing long range barrages with area damage making it a deadly ranged unit to smaller ships and fighter squadrons. For defense, the Broadside featured 4 dual Medium Turbolaser turrets, 6 Light Laser turrets and 3 Imperial Blaster turrets for AA defense.
The broadside also performed the role of a minelayer, deploying space mines against enemy capital ships.

this ship is the ultimate cheese vehicle XD
That burning KDY destroyer at 1:05 looked incredible. Awesome work
I kind of hate telling you, but that was only a test which since then got removed. (Or not ... not quite sure ... but won't be in the final release, that's for sure.)
But ... let's put it that way ... the test has been successful, which means: "[insert Burntstrobe's catchphrase]"
KDY is the perfect **** YOU to any rebel fleet
Dude. Amazing work
Explosions look amazing! Just a couple things: are the angles of fire going to be like they are in the video? I would swear the belly turrets were shooting through the ship, I may have seen bad though. Also aren't the concussion missiles a bit too agile for their size? Same thing about the turning speed of the ship (0:54), I would expect a slow moving ship by its turtle looks. Anyway the visuals are stunning, really good work, I'm curious to see the implementation of mine deployement, guess we'll be pleasantly surprised ;).
All material we showcase is work in progess.
So bugs (like the firing angles of the belly turrets) are being fixed constantly.
The ship is relatively slow, the "high turning rate" at 0:54 is the combination of a turning ship and the camera being rotated around the turning ship.
So it doesnt have baradium missiles anymore? :(
No, they have been replaced with Concussion Missiles.
Will any ships carry those warheads? Perhaps a Hutt hero unit?
How did you get the camera to follow the missiles?
I have no clue whatsoever...
That just happened when I tried to focus on the Broadside Cruiser with the "C" key and I went with it. Maybe the camera is focusing on the object under the cursor, rather than the highlighted one.
One of the ships I used the most.
