Consortium Recusant image - Empire At War Remake: Galactic Civil War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
Consortium variant of the Recusant. This will be an Underworld specific ship, buildable at their regular shipyards. Lore behind it being the Consortium continued to develop the Recusant design after the clone wars and now contributes it to the criminal underworlds war effort.
Changes from the normal Recusant: Speed reduced to 33%, more armor, front superheavy dual turbolaser cannons replaced with a long range turreted boom boom cannon (the Keldabe's heavy mass drivers), top superstructure removed, as are the 2 turbolaser batteries that were situated there. 2 of the 4 flak cannons have been replaced with Diamond Boron missile launchers.
Quite expensive but an effective artillery ship. It retains the point defence ability of the CIS Recusant. The Vengeance has been removed, this will be the new standard long range siege platform for the Underworld.
There may or may not be an entire fleet of Hutt ships coming to the Underworlds arsenal as well, at this point we've got several contributors to the Underworlds fleet, the Black Suns units, Mandalorians, the Consortiums heavy firepower in the Aggressor and Recusant for example, and the Hutt fleet that'll be revealed later. I'm trying to make the underworld seem like it's consistent of several internal factions, like the ones mentioned above.

"There may or may not be an entire fleet of Hutt ships coming to the Underworlds arsenal as well"
You love to tease don´t you?
They're not ready to be displayed yet. The models are finished, but they're Warb's, and I don't want to display his work as my own here, so I'll wait until they're textured. All credit to the hutt models to Warb.
"The Vengeance has been removed"
My laptop approves :D
Just an opinion, but since this is a extensive overhaul of the main ship, should'nt it have at the very least a new paintjob? also maybe add some crew quarter buildings and visable missle tubes? unless ofc its still supossed to be controlled by battle droids.
This is just an opinion doe, just want to be constructive your overhaul of the recusant looks stunning but this one the ohter hand looks barebones like a striped down rescusent rahter then a upgrade.
again just an opinion i do love and aprriciate your work!
Think of it of what the rebels do with the Dreadnought cruiser, they strip it down, modify it and upgrade it, it´s the same concept here
Pretty much what Overseer said. Though I'll consider adding some model detail.
yeah but comparing the dreadnough with the resucant is kinda unfair, you have to keep in mind the dreadnought was designed for organic life forms, the resucant on the ohter hand wasnt its a minimalistic desing specialised for droids wich means its kinda odd to have a more stripped down version for the consortium in my mind organic life forms would tag stuff on it rahter then strip the alrdy spare space for a ship of that size
again just my two cents iam not a Consotrium player myself i just giving my opinion about this version of the ship
Nope, is just adapting a existing design to suit a certain role inside a certain fleet, exactly the same case as the Dreadnought,if you can adapt a design to cut down manpower from 15000 to 2000 people, pretty sure you can adapt the Recusant or other CIS ships for sustaining lifeforms for a few months rather easily.
There's was nothing saying they didnt sustain life. There's plenty of events of humanoids boarding the ships or them being commanded by a living commmander.

Yes but this is a 1200m long warship with almost no crew quarters and actualy space to keep any logistics for organic life the dreadnought is a whole diffrent story it was a outdated design fited with heavy automisation but it had alrdy all things needed to surstain organic life
this is a 1200m warship wich was orginaly intended to be fited with just 200 droids suplimented by an "ship ai"
plus the fact that you now add boron missles which again need alot of space plus the crew quarters
Honestly despite all things, this might work i just thinhk it looks a bit plane adding some parts to the ship even some kitbash with diffrent shipparts seams more appealing and intressting, trough have to say its a very good idea to add some diversety to the faction by adding diffrent sub types to certain factions, makes those factions more fleshed out
The main point of my criticism is that i thinhk jeroen can do more with this and make the desing more intressting
again just my two cents, still trying to be constructive.
I understand what you mean with more interesting, but the ship was based on the Recusant variant in Revenge of the Sith, which it is accurate to. To the right of the providence is the variant, to the left of it you can see the regular recusant: I.redd.it
