Hi, I have done more work on this mod, and changed it a bit, but i dont know if it in keeping woth what you wanted.
the huts have the same asteroid stations, and no capital ships.
the hutts build ships specific to each capital planet. normally this is 1 capital ship and 1 support or frigate ship.
I have redone the venator, so it is a bit more powerful.
I have removed the ipv from the hutts, as well as made most fighters non buildables, like the empire.
I have done this as to me the huts are beings that take old and once powerfull things, fitt them with chap labor, or droids, retrofitt them, and send them out to die.

The pirates.
I have removed the 3 asteroid bases, and I have replaced with one lv 3 star base, instabuild, But to build lots of ships, they must have other structures, so far I have 2 of them, and I have plans for a third, level 4 starbase planets can build 1 of thease, while level 5 can build 2, and maybe capital ship planets 3?
I have added the valiant, an improved venator thing,
I have added some of the CIS and Mando units.

The buildables space things are
1)mando station
2)CIS units
3)Black sun stolen stuff)
I have only made minute changes to ground so far, and none to tech or AI, should I continue and finish this, or change direction?

Oh I found some models for a Black Sun frigate. I know you said about using old models. But If Hutts and Sun don't have their own unique models, it's just separatists vs. republic.

Flare.solareclipse.net

Some of the ground models you want are already been made though, they just need a new paint job. IG-86 units are used by the Black Sun Syndicate and the IG-Lance droids.

Images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org

They have a Black Sun paint job, along with it's emblem.

And there is a lot of Black Sun members that we can add to the list we already have. Ziro the hutt, is a Vigo of Black Sun. I like his model.

I was thinking of give the hutts droids as ground units, in accordance with the game where Jabba had the droid works, but more types of droids, but only droid infantry, I think that they should have AtPT and skiffs as their tanks, for space, then need to lose some fighters and some corvettes, and gain 1 light frigate and 1 capital ship, or 2,

I was thinking on adding artillery units to the Black Sun and the Hutts (like the ones Empire and Rebels have) but I just didn't have any appropriate ones to add.

That's why I made the crime factions have more money and larger unit cap, to compensate on their lack of diverse units. This way you can spam your enemies with Starhoppers or Z-95 flyers, Rancors, Assassins etc.

I am thinking that for the black sun, yes, maybe,m but the Hutts where all for single, strong units, and also, there are too many fighters for the hutts. (for balance) If there are to be many fighters, which are good fighters, like x wings, dont have hangars on ships, they are a bit too many. Or, remove fighters, and make them weaker, and use them in garrisons, i think keep daggers and Kryat bombers, get rid of the rest, waken them, and add them to the hangars, but less, and not from venators / hutt frigates, i spam thease and get so many fighters i never need to buy any.

I think there a two good models I found for the big ships. Unless someone has already made them.

I.imgur.com - Don't know the name of this ship, but it's part of the Cartel Navy (think it's old republic era)

Img4.wikia.nocookie.net - This one looks as big as a Star Destroyer (they are basically giant space yachts)

Tiure-Class Space Yacht - Fc05.deviantart.net

And some super tank Yacht from the SWTOR: This thing is huge - Deningart.com

I found the sister ship of that Hutt shuttle(it's a Hutt freighter) - I83.photobucket.com

I like the Tiure Space Yacht and the giant one. But without models I can't do anything about them.

I've already searched for Hutt models and it was only Warb Null's good will that I got the ones I have.

I am trying to make some of new models. But I am having issues getting a working 3Dmax program that can import the .ALO models.

Any of you guys know someone with knowledge with this?

I think I got the 2015 version and it wouldn't work with the plugins, so I trying to download the 6 version. Might take a few days to sort this out.

The frigate looks nice, I would like to have a game compatible model of it.

Ziro died in the clone wars if I'm not mistaken and the IG's were his personal guard. I guess I could replace the Falleen assassin with IG-86 Assassin droids, but there wouldn't be that much of an improvement to the gameplay.

I would like these as Black Sun's most elite infantry.

Starwars.wikia.com

And this fortress as once per game structure that gives you large income boost, garrison of troops and perhaps the ability to hire special units (here we could put the Foot soldiers and IG-86 Assassins)

I would keep the Falleens, they look cool. Is there no way to add more units to the buildings?

You could give Black Sun a droid factory and make the units IG-86 with the Vigo paint job. It would look really nice. And maybe add Hk-50/Hk-51 units and Lance droids.

I have seen lot of mods with multiply units with the same function.

What about Xizor's palace guards? You know the ones in the comics and book. Sorry I think I am overwhelming myself with too much to do.

Well the only unit I might consider is the IG-86 as it only needs re-texturing of an existing model.

Everything else is impossible. Finding ground unit models, specially infantry, is even more difficult than finding vehicles or spaceships. Warb, best free release modeler barely made any models. Now that I remembered, he made imperial ground transport from SW-Rebels, I was planning on adding that to the Empire.

Yeah I am starting to think we need more people on this project with experience on making the models and animating them.

I am way over my head as I have no clue how to even use the 3DMax program to make new models or even modify existing ones. Then you have to add texture skins :/ lot of work.
