I think he just means the Galactic Map getting a makeover, i.e. new textures and moving planets around. We haven't seen any pictures of the GC map in v5.0 so I'm a bit curious myself.

Honestly Farseer, I wouldn't worry too much about the face; it's higher quality than anything else, and most people won't notice it.

When it's finished.

That's understandable. The Avenger didn't totally sit well with me, though the idea of the Victory being a capital ship still feels weird. I suppose I'll just have to play the mod to get accustomed!

I noticed the Units Article now lists the Victory I Frigate as a capital ship. Has the Avenger(I think that's what it was called) been replaced?

I prefer aesthetic over "logical design". This is Star Wars, practicality isn't an issue, otherwise there wouldn't even be ONE Death Star, much less two. Nothing in the Lancer, Carrack or Tartan really says "Empire" like the wedge-shaped design does. I think most mainline Imperial ships should resemble Star Destroyers, hence why I like the Acclamator so much.

It's not finished yet.

Cool! If you need a commission, I can pay for the model.

On the subject of Imperial ships, I know you've got more than enough on your plate for the release but if you ever decide you need another Imperial corvette for a future post-release update, might you consider the Raider-class Corvette?

Starwars.wikia.com

It exists in both Canon and Legends thanks to the new Battlefront II(Bad game but hey, a broken clock is right twice a day). I can't find anything about its usage in the Imperial Remnant in Legends but I'm sure they had plenty, since it's a small ship and could be easily manufactured. In Canon, its remnants were SUPPOSEDLY seen on Jakku, which would indicate its usage by a post-Endor Empire, which doesn't mean much but I understand that you're using some music from the new movies so I thought it'd be worth mentioning.

I absolutely love the design, as a sort of cross of Star Destroyer and TIE Fighter. IMO, it just seems Imperial-y in a way that neither the Tartan Patrol Cruiser nor Carrack Cruiser satisfy. Then again, I am a sucker for the Star Destroyer design.

I've got to say, this may very well be the most detailed Hero model you've ever done. The quality is astounding!

Nobody asked for this, but I decided to do it anyway.

Since we're so close to release, I decided to celebrate by taking the the Unit List article and adding links to all the units that currently have images in the art gallery. I uploaded it on my account's blog here: Moddb.com but I'll take it down if the_Farseer requests.

I absolutely understand your reasoning, though Super Star Destroyers are cool as heck and I'll dearly miss the Viscount Cruiser. The Executor in the base game was just too humongous to be used in any meaningful way, and I've rarely seen a mod that was able to add them properly.

...BUT we know that modding takes time and effort, and have no intention of rushing you in anyway.

Same. I think it should be out soon, I believe the_Farseer's ETA was some time in first quarter of 2018?

However, in the meantime, the answer I always give is "when it's finished."

Yeah, they're not gonna have a guy named Ackbar use a suicide attack.

When it's finished.

Amazing. The Christmas drought has been very hard on me but it's nice to come back to new pictures. I can only hope they're soon to be followed by release!

Before the end of the year, assuming no delays.

Now that the Kandosii has been revealed, are there even any units left to be shown between now and release? As far as I can remember, this was the last on the list.

I think he dropped them, since the Kedalbe fills the role of a Capital Brawler well enough.

Looks fine to me to be honest.

This is beautiful. One of my favorite ships from FoC, and I'm so glad you've kept the design intact.

So, will this be the New Republic infantry shuttle?

I do like the siege units, but I would have preferred something a little more "organic" for the MM, like a Stone Giant.

Everything else looks good though!

LITERALLY sounds great!

Will there be any new music in the mod?

Perfect! This helps a lot! Thank you!

Sorry if I've been bothering you, I've been kinda thirsty for info to hold me over.

Thank you for answering. So the Kedalbe would be more comprable to the ISD or CD10? I assumed the MC80 fulfilled the role of a "workhorse" for the NR, with the CD10 being a variant that exchanges health and reliability for additional firepower. Am I incorrect?

I'm a bit confused on some things regarding Mandal Capital Ships.

1. What are the roles of the Capital Ships? In a previous image, it was stated that the Kandosii MkII fulfilled the role of the ISD or MC80, i.e. the "main" capital ship for the Mandalorians. The Aggressor is obviously a super-specialized ship, with light armor and weapons in exchange for a masive primary gun. What exactly is the Kedalbe supposed to do? I was always under the impression it served that role, but now I'm unsure.

2. In the Factions and Units news article, Ram Zerimar is stated to get a Kedalbe ship, and Novoc Vevut is getting an Aggressor class.I'm guessing this is just outdated info, but now that Ram is getting a (heavily modified) Aggressor class, is Novoc receiving a ship?

Oh right, I nearly forgot about that one! Completely slipped my mind, my bad.

(Shame about Ackbar- I feel like the New Republic is kinda lacking in alien heroes.)
