As I've posted in a previous article, FW: ToW have been looking for ways to improve the Star Wars experience of our mod. One of the ways to do this is to get scaled and detailed models into the game that just make people go, "OH MY GOD". Well, this news piece sure won't disappoint you in that regard.
Sovereign, our head importer/model wiz, has been hard at work scouring sites for the best models/textures he can get. He honestly works about 8+hrs each day changing the models/textures in a way that Freelancer (FL) can use in game. He's also big on scale, and has scaled each ship to their canonical length. Now, I have to warn you, most of these ships I show you here will NOT be flyable in game. We've produced a player flyable shiplist that we're pretty adamant on not changing. That being said, for future updates to FW: ToW, this may change. So, if you dream of flying a Executor Class Super Star Destroyer, you may get it :)
Anyways, enough blabbering, lets get to the EYE CANDY:
These next two shots is to give you an idea of scale.
Scale View of Vessels. The Executor Class Super Star Destroyer is 17.1km in length and the biggest ships viewable in this image
Well, I hope you enjoyed this latest update. A big thanks goes out to Sov for his importing work.
And, for those of you interested in system creation, I urge you all to take a look at Oma's recent post here: Moddb.com

Nice work mate, the cap ships are lookin preeetty preeetty.
Thanks Red. The real credit goes to the modelers/textures of these ships and Sovereign, though.
I can't wait to watch FS fighters duke it out around these massive caps :)
Holy ****, that thing is huge. Oo
Some great work here! Love the close flyby of the Executor!
WOW, things how come a long way since I last played freeworlds 5-6 months ago. You could almost have dogfights inside the executor hull it seems XD
We're hoping that would be the case.
and another mark... sushi, are you devs going to include as many ships as the last version of FW had?
No, we're definitely cutting it down by a lot. We only have 108 ships, instead of the 300+. This is because every ship is created custom from the ground up.
sure would love a Executor Class Super Star Destroyer :)
