Post news Report RSS December Update Part 1

Four ingame screenshots, a render, a brief explanation of the shipyard system and future plans for the website.

Yellow,

I'd first like to mention that we've added two new mirrors for the Fall of the Republic minimod on the downloads page. The minimod is now available from EaW Filefront in a rar, as well as a new filefront link to a zip file, as it was requested by many people. The new links are on the FotR minimod page on the site.

One of the more major changes we've made to the game is the addition of the shipyard system. Each faction has three different shipyard types: Capital, Heavy Frigate, and Corvette/Light Frigate. There is also a fourth type, the Heavy Capital shipyard, however they are only used by a few factions, and are not in skirmish. Each different shipyard level can only be built on certain planets; Light Frigate/Corvette Shipyards are buildable on all but the most backwater planets such as Helska IV, Heavy Frigate Shipyards are buildable mainly on highly, populated, industrial or important planets like Xa Fel, Mechis IV, Corulag and Bothawui. Capital shipyards are only available on planets that canonically have shipyards, such as Mon Calamari, Kuat, Fondor, Bilbringi and Sluis Van. Heavy Capital Shipyards are only available on Syca, Kuat and Fondor for ThrRev: EotH. These are limited even further by the type of ship, for example Kuat may be able to support a capital shipyard, but this is pointless to the Rebels, as their capital ships are all fishtanks, and require Calamarian crew.

Next we have a few ingame pictures of the three Golan platforms, and a small Rebel task force.

And some news on the site. I'd like to get a bit more information and other stuff on it in the near future. I'm currently working on adding unit lists to the different factions on the factions page. When I'm done, each of the logos will link to a page with a description of the faction and a unit list. I also plan on getting an image gallery put on the site, however this will have to wait until Nezill is back in action.

Finally, we are in need of skilled mappers, and one to two voice actors. If you would like to apply for any of these positions, then email me at ThrawnsRevenge@gmail.com .

S'all for now,
-The Thrawn's Revenge Team

The skins for Empire at War are typically 512 x 512, any larger causes a bit of lag. We bump it up to 1024 for some larger ships though.
