It's been about a week since I've started work on the mod from scratch, and this time around, things are going smoother than usual, considering it helps to know what to do and what not to do... but you don't want to hear about me! So let's move on to some notable gameplay improvements:
Jagged Squadrons:
This mini-mod by Daimonoth was the skeleton of the original mod, and I've kept it that way this time around as well. With improvements in both fighter balance and realism, you can now expect to be concentrating on your bombers and fighters just as often as you do on your capital ships. Changes to expect include: faster projectiles, scaled fighters, and more powerful armament (ie: proton torpedoes on x-wings, proton bombs on TIE Bombers, etc.)
Improved Graphics
Taking note from other mods including enhanced graphics, ETM will include high-res textures of many vehicles (thanks to The_Farseer), as well as new particles and projectiles.
Improved Strategy-Based Gameplay
Emphasis will no longer be on the largest fleets, but on tactical and strategic moves on your part. A shipyard planet such as Kuat, for example, may be important to your war cause, but with the right infrastructure, even a planet like Tatooine can have enough to help bolster your fleet. Players will also be encouraged to think deceptively, as extremely powerful new defensive space stations and garrisons will oftentimes be guarding the space above a planet. This will force you to sometimes use special or mercenary units skilled in planetary raiding to take control of the land.
Unit Showcase
ETA-5 Heavy Interceptor:
Seen in The Legacy of the Force series, the ETA-5 is the Alliance's most advanced starfighter. Its role will include combating large enemy TIE formations as well as small frigates.
A seemingly powerful ship spotted patrolling the vicinity of Mandalorian Space, this unknown vessel, though quite small and agile, may be of the capital ship classification. It's up to you to help me name and classify this vessel.
That's it for now guys! Help me name the ship, give me some weaponry you'd like to see, and i'll consider adding it into the mod if it works out.
Here is my suggestion for the name of the ship
Name
Concordia-Class Battle Cruiser
Desricption
Named after the Mandalorian planet Concordia, the Concordia-Class Battle Cruiser is a one of a kind vessel. With super tough armor made from the Iron of the planet Concordia, the Concordia-Class Battle Cruiser is an extremely formidable opponent. It is said to be able to even withstand multiple direct hits from an Imperial Star Destroyer and remain unscathed.
I like the name, but i don't want this to be another Mandalorian ship as there will already be so many in the mod. Thanks for the suggestions!
Wow I didn't know you would be making any new models. Will you be trying to remake any of your old ship designs? Also parts of this ship look like they came from the Empire's starbase.
I most likely will not, I still have the Vengeance Stealth cruiser though, which was one of my favorites.. It was being used in another mod, so you'll see that again (:
Ship Name = The ravenger Assualt Crusier.
Description = once a old scavanger ship the underworld refitied the ship wit 4 mass driver connoncs, and 6 heavy turbo laser cannons.
Abilities= assualt, and Cloak.
