This mod aims to bring the extra-galactic race of Yuuzhan Vong into SW: FoC as a playable 4th faction. Original factions will receive new units to fight these invaders.
As any other race Yuuzhan Vong will have a special weapon in space skirmish. Due to some engine limitations, we have to come up with and idea which is not flawless, but original/Vong specific and working.
The final name is not yet decided, but the idea behind it is following: after purchasing an upgrade (as Rebels/Empire have to do for their ion cannon/hypervelocity gun) you can use your Dovin Basals to open a hyperspace window and hurl a swarm of asteroids from other galaxy against invading fleets. Nimble ships will be able to dodge the main projectile, but this shouldn´t bother you much - the swarm damages a rather big area and, which is its unique feature, spawns an asteroid field damaging any enemy ships passing through it.
And here´s a quick demonstration of the particle, projectile, AoE damage and spawned asteroids. Enjoy ;)
Okay, that is cool!
the ideas of this mod are very original and great
and it looks awesome! love the vong <3
It looks awesome.
I would only have the portal take a bit longer to open and close. It looks kinda silly, appearing and disappearing so quickly.
idk, I like it this way. and from a "let´s pretend we care about logic" point of view, it makes more sense, since you need the window open just for the moment for the asteroids to enter this space. any second longer would be wasting of energy needed to keep the window open.
Awesome ! But make them instakill ships
Empire-take down 1-2 hardpoint;
Rebels-take down shields and disable engines;
Underworld-take down 1 hardpoint (though you don´t need to buy the shot again);
Vongs-destroy entire ships?
that could be cool (and you can achieve it by editing just 1 number in the xml file), but I like this one better:
Vongs-take down shields OR 1 hardpoint, damage units around, spawn a tactical obstacle.
I was thinking this super weapon looks like the death star ray of the Maw
