Description
Second commission of the same guy who also commissioned the Escort carrier and the Hunter, after it was done I liked it so much I decided to use it in EawRe aswell. It might even replace the Victory entirely.
It looks nice what's the armament?
Why not both? And will the rebels get any new support?
Armerment is 3 quad turbolaser turrets, and 8 quad laser turrets.
The Rebels already have some incredibly strong support ships, like the new Quasar Carrier and the Corellian light cruiser ( Moddb.com ) Both fill pretty much every hole in the rebels arsenal. Between those 2 and the new Nebula SD, the Rebellion is very well equiped ;)
Keeping both in would be a bit too much, the ships basically fullfill the same purpose, and as you might know, I'm a huge fan of keeping ships diverse, and having them serve different roles. ATM the ships are just too much the same to keep them both.
Unless I change the Procursator to spawn no fighters, and increase weapons and armor so it's just a large bulk of armor and weapons, and tone down the armerment on the Victory, and increase the fighter spawns. That way they'd both make it in the mod, might go that route. (even though that goes completely against Imperial design by having a large frigate that doesn't spawn a legion of TIEs)
I would personally suggest keeping the Victory then, this ship is too much Imperator-Class looking.
BTW, would there be a chance for an Enforcer-class picket cruiser or Vindicator-class heavy cruiser in the game? There are really not much of them in any mods, and it could very well fill the place of a cruiser that's both mobile, and has good/well armaments, AND do that with style (with that awesome, beautiful, and lovely flat bridge, that I admit to being in love in it). So, any chance? Please?
Didn't the Victory also have like 8 missile batteries as well as other long rang weaponry? it could function as artillery of sorts personally if given the choice I would rather have the victory the other one looks to much like a Imperator-class. If you really want the pocket destroyer in game though you could simply make it a unique hero unit.
Watch the latest video, that's exactly what it is right now ;)
Nooooo, leave the Victory alone please!
Maybe you could put it in as a fast attack-cruiser with strong weapons, decent armour but weak shields. That would fit more or less with that bit of information wookipedia provides of that ship.
"The class was in service by 3 ABY, when Captain Firmus Piett and Admiral Kendal Ozzel observed three Procursator-class Star Destroyers that were part of a high-mobility fleet."
"The name chosen by the artist for its class is the Latin word for "skirmisher/forward-runner"."

I would recommend removing the center quad turbo, adding 2 duel turbos to each side and it could fill the role of a small escort cruiser, while the victory could go on filling its role of a heavy cruiser/light destroyer.
Damn gero all this work you are doing

I hate to ask this and will probably get voted bad karma for it but almost all of the time when you are doing something for commission like digital 2d art or 3d art or whatever money is involved and isn't it againest Lucafilms/Lucasarts/Disney's terms of use for star wars that you aren't allowed to make money off of anything star wars.
I just wanted to point that out seeing as paying someone to make you a ship,vehicle or infantry model from star wars is no different then someone making money off a mod by selling it...ect.
But from what i know the rules for that haven't changed only ported content has but if they have please correct me if i'm wrong.
Nonetheless these models you've been doing on commission are really nice.
Not really, this is pretty much like the guy asking for 10.000 $ to build a Lego Star Destroyer (http://kotaku.com/heroic-kickstarter-wants-to-build-a-13-foot-star-destro-1632240784).
Or anyone else that would build you a Star Destroyer wood model or plastic prop - or the guy that won against Lucas for selling the Stormtrooper suits in the UK. No difference whatsoever.
Pretty sure that the money I'm making from this is mine, and that I wont have to hand it over to lucas ;)
Besides, I'm selling my model. Not his.
Yeah i get that but you are selling something star wars,like they said in the terms of use (paraphrasing) doesn't matter what you make that is star wars it is 100% LF/LA and disney's and that we don't have any rights to anything star wars even if we made it ourselfs and we can sell or make money off of anything star wars.
But o well do whatever i guess.
This is the internet, if people can mass pirate movies with no issues I can do honest labour without issues.

maybe make the victory more of a dedicated long range support ship with its missile launchers and have the Procursator be more of an escort and/or front line ship.
release when?
When done.
I would hope this doesn't replace the victory..
