The Age of Legends is a total conversion series based on the Star Wars Expanded Universe, from the aftermath of Endor to the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong.
The latest subfaction I'm adding for the New Republic is the Smugglers' Alliance.
This loose coalition of smugglers was united by Talon Karrde and only exists thanks to his leadership.
The Smugglers' Alliance won't function like any of the other subfactions in the game, and they have a unique system I've designed for them. When Karrde is in battle, he can deploy a nav buoy which broadcasts his position to nearby Smugglers' Alliance ships who can then come and aid him.
A random selection of Smuggler's Alliance ships will then hyperspace in at the nav buoy, to assist him in battle. There will be almost 25 smuggler ships that might appear when the nav buoy is deployed, ranging in size from the Star Galleon 'Lastri's Ort', to the Preybird starfighter 'Raptor'.
Smugglers' Alliance ships will often have modifications on their original design.
The ships in these pictures are:
- HERO: Talon Karrde in the Action VI 'Wild Karrde'
- KDY Star Galleon 'Lastri's Ort'
- HERO: Samuel Gillespee in the CR90 (mod.) 'Kern's Pride'
- IPV-I 'Sudden Demise'
Didn't Karrde's associate Aves command the Lastri's Ort at that time?
"Smugglers' Alliance ships will often have modifications on their original design."
that sounds ... interesting. could be coupled with a seed so the modifications could be random
Blue_Fyre it won’t work exactly like that, the ships’ components won’t be randomised, but what ships appear will be (effectively) randomised. I have a list of c.25 Smugglers’ Alliance ships that could be summoned.
that was also my thought. i didnt thought that seeding the equipment of the ships would be possible; was more something of the solution you thought
