This mod consists of a transformation of some of Dark Crusade characteristics by adding more techs, including the powerful Veteran tech, new units and abilities that make all races different from the ones in the original Dark Crusade. Some of the new features of this mod include aircraft abilities, like thunderhawks dropping bombs on the battlefield or valkyries bombing a target. This mod is still in the early phases of development, so stay tunned for updates.
Just a small demonstration of the psybolt and psyflame upgrades.
The psybolt upgrade turns the storm bolter bolts into psybolts which is visually displayed near the end of the video.
The psyflame upgrades turns the heavy flamer into a powerful anti-daemon flamer (visually at least).
The upgrades are independent from the the weapons themselves and so you must have the 2 conditions to have the visible upgrade, for example to use psybolts you need to have the storm bolter equipped and the psybolt wargear equipped. That means the visual upgrades can be made without changing the main weapon.
If it becomes desirable to have the upgrades as a weapon option (for example upgrading from normal storm bolter to psybolt storm bolter, it can be easily recoded in OE to suit that need), which would mostly be useful if psy upgrades were meant to change armour pierce tables and similar aspects of the weapons, rather than damage stats.
