This is a total conversion of Sins of a Solar Empire. five new playble races will be introduced each with differing play styles and apearances. The focus of this mod will be small and large scale fleet stratagy and empire building.
The Helios Frigate is a new protype weapons platform produced by the T.E.F. The Helios is an extreme long range attack craft sporting a main gun with a range many times that of the longbow, the frontal gun measures the entire length of the ship making it one of the largest and most effective railguns ever produced. Able to send an armour piercing tungsten shell through a target on the other side of the solar system this ships range is devestating however like with all space combat kinetic weapons technically have infinite range, so targeting computers work of effective range which is the range at which u could hit your target with general consistancy, also the weapon is ineffective against planets as atmosphere drastically reduces the power of kinetic weapons. The current stratagy for this ship is often to either deploy them at the edge of a gravity well for accurate and devestating fire or deploying them somewhere else in the system and having the ships direct vollys at designated targets.
ok srry bout the quality had a much better one then Xsi crashed on me and i lost it all anyway i was hoping for this one that a teir 8 milatary research would give it the same abilities as a novalith cannon except specifically for ships and buildings (power is reduced when firing out of local gravity well)
texturing these ships is going to be hell lol
well of the most recent ships this ones probably the easiest baring the buzzard
:P
Cool. :)
the other one i made looked way cooler but the computer crashed and i lost it :(
it looks like a giant laser rifle, or that could just be me
