This mod catapults Empire at War into 2077. It maintains the game's design philosophy, while adding new units, better graphics, and deeper gameplay.
Special thanks to Kharak for the wonderful MTC model and texture.
Rigging by Jeroen.
The MTC was designed by the Empire to efficiently provide a variety of logistics solutions, by swapping between nission function modules. It's capabilities include natural disaster relieve, post combat search & rescue, repair & salvage operations, planetary suppression and pacification, rapid planetary and system exploration, including natural resource surveys to swiftly assess the viability of newly found systems to support colonization.
In combat the slow Modular Taskforce Cruiser is completely incapable of defending itself, and can be deployed only as a support craft to a larger fleet.
All 3 factions can build (Or steal) the MTC, and there are two versions:
Planetary & System Observation Module: This module provides vision over enemy positions and forces on planets around the MTC on the Galactic map. In combat, it reveals the majority of the map with its powerful sensors.
Fleet Logistics & Repair Module: This module provides a construction cost and time reduction of 15% to Corvettes, 10% to Frigates and 5% to Capital ships on the planet the MTC is stationed. This bonus does not stack with multiple MTCs. In combat, it repairs Corvettes, Frigates and Capital ships in an area around the MTC, and can deploy fields of repair drones for repairs further away.

Love that ship. Also I appreciate how in this mod its an actual modular ship as per its intended role instead of just another cruiser.

Of course, for a long time I've wanted logistics based vessels but gave up after finding you can't do negative pop value in combat. Otherwise you'd have seen stuff like this a while ago!
Atm this is the only logistics vessel, filling multiple roles on the GC map and in combat, but if there's more interesting stuff available there may be more in the future.
Might have to rig an ability so that they deploy some type of space structure that adds pop value. I know its feasible for land units.
I need it to subtract pop value in combat, not add.
Cam Kennedy might be a good comic artist, but in my humble opinion he can't design good looking ships for sure.
Well, atleast they were original designs (as far as I know)
Yeah, everything subjective is also relative I guess...
