This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
So the Mandator Mark III was a joke, that will not be in the mod.
This on the other hand, I think might make it. Build from scratch this time, unlike the one I built for Yuuzhan vong at war, this Bellator is much more accurate to Fractalsponges original Starcruiser. Incase you have not seen that, shame on you: Fractalsponge.net
The Bellator holds a special place in my heart, measuring 7.2 Km in lenght, I loved the ship ever since I first saw it years ago and yesterday I decided it deserved a better model than what I made years ago for the vong project. So I started yesterday at noon and with far too much free time on my hands I finished it today. It went so fast I actually had the feeling the model made itself.
So the question now becomes, use the Allegiance as a high tier warship, or use this, and have it be a hero starship? Unsure, the Imperials don't really need another heavy battleship like the Allegiance, the ISD does a marvelous job of shooting down everything that's not on the Imperial side. Then again, they don't need this either ;)

the allegiance-class.
choose wisely people :)
Imo:
allegiance will be more relevant gameplay-wise.
but for sheer awesomeness id pick the bellator.
so the bellator wins imo.
Allegiance for skrimish as tier 5 battleship, bellator as minor hero/limited unit for gc
Perhaps this unit could be very expensive and only built once? There could also be a build limit on allegiance class ships just to keep the imperial faction sane yet fun. That way you can use your favorite ships but must keep them alive instead of being a mindless econ spammer :)
Oh, forgot to add, this is the most faithful tribute to Fractal's ship I've ever seen and I have yet to take this lovely ship to battle in any mod so far. So... I may just want to see this.
My vote would be for the "hero" option, for the Alliance. There are a lot of Imperial heroes that have their own impressive starships, but there are few Alliance heroes who do, in comparison.
Allegiance is cool, but this? Kick-***! Please do use both.. :D
My vote is for the Allegiance.
As cool as the Bellator is, I never liked the rounded engine section, Always felt off to me.
Allegiance as tier 5 Battleship, But 4-5 Bellators can be available to the Imperials as limited production or hero unit.
Btw, will the Rebels receive Bulwark Mark III to counter these Imperial monsters??
They do have a tier 5 Mon Cal cruiser to do it, which carries lots of fighters.
Oh while I think of it then how is this ship for anti-fighter defence?
Apart from Blue Diver, I think Bulwark Mark III is another choice of Rebels' Battleship since its found in Rebels during Rebellion era and act as a fortress in the middle of space battle....
I think not, I don't like the ship and it will not be in the mod at all.
great model
the model is spot on, i love new hero star ships, bcuz if they are op, just dont use them, but if you need a little help, send them in guns blazing! great models
I'm going to try to make this not all too powerful, perhaps reduce accuracy or something.
considering the armament, reduced accuracy is the only way it won't blast anything and everything. Maybe make it impossible to fire behind itself thus leaving an opening like in any other SSD. Ion cannon + positioning = dead
sorry being out of topic but why rebels can't play with the ISD? in the expanded universe NR and GA alike use imperator class destroyers
This is the time of the movies, the rebellion certainly did not have any ISDs.

This is one of the most beautiful models I have seen in a long time... Thank you Geroenimo. I feel like it could be used as an expensive, very late game hero unit for the mod.
:'O Awesome. I get why we aren't getting an ssd, but this is just as good.
@Geroenimo Also, I don't know if it's too far gone, or if the Keldabe is already tier 5, but what if the Aggressor was the tier 5 for Consortium? I loved the Aggressor's to death, but they were op if you spammed them. Something like the Aggressor should have been hero-only in the first place.
The Keldabe is the tier 4 battleship of the consortium, and the Veragitor the tier 5. The aggressor will still be in, but it'll be balanced differently.
O_O Oh god, the Veragitor...This will be fun.
I'm looking forward to see what you do with the Aggressors! Should be amazing like everything else.
Thank you, glad you're so excited.
I'd say let the Bellator be a Hero unit or something I've never really been able to play it except in Alliance mod which the space combat is weird and almost irritating plus this model is epic, hell I'd say let them Have both really that's how the empire is really even after losing the Emperor they were still kicking ***. You could argue they started to do better lol.
Will this be returning in future versions of the game?
How or where to build bellator and allegiance ?
