Sith Harrower and Supremacy VI Intercepter image - Republic Assault: The Clone Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Republic Assault is a full scale conversion mod for the Petroglyphy game Star Wars Forces of Corruption. Using elements from both the current canon, and existing EU to create the best possible game experience.
More or less me just showing off a few personal projects. Not quite sure if I want to use them in RA yet.
However, me and a few people were talking about it on the Discord server. The plan I have floating about, is for a few Sith Empire planets to hold scuttled ships. And the first person to capture the planet, will receive a few ships. IE:
•Take Dromund Kaas, and recieve a Harrower
•Take Ziost, and receive a few Terminus Frigate
Credits:
•Bioware - Wings, and cockpit of the Supremacy VI
•Warb Null - The rest of the Supremacy VI
•Barlex - Everything on the Harrower, texture and UV on the Supremacy VI
First off brilliant models I love them. Superb texture and model
Secondly I feel like putting putting these in would feel out of place in the mod. I know its only 1 or 2 ships but I feel you quickly could be oversaturated with old republic ships.
My advice is to stick to clone wars era and only use old republic if you can't find anything else to suit a role. It keeps the download size down and improve performance slightly.
so in conclusion its a clone wars mod not an old republic mod and please don't make it an any era ship mod
Way too many assume/conclude these content-void eras in Star Wars had nothing absolutely happen in them. Say, when people add ships from the Old Republic to the Clone Wars, Empire or whatever else era, they should take note that it would make a lot more sense to just make up their own ship which would have been made during said void eras.
Although I can't blame people who have no skills for it. But most of the time I feel like they really don't think like that. They really do believe those void eras have absolutely nothing happen with regards to "new" ship design and such. That's what frustrates me.
Thanks, but I wholeheartedly disagree.
While this is a Clone War centered mod, that shouldn't exclude older ships. Perhaps not the Harrower however.
Ships like the Invincible, and Hammerhead already have made it into modern day. And the Alderaanian Civil Fleet also has Thrantas, though they seem to be under a different class. A corvette classification is rather ridiculous for the Old Republic's main cruiser, but that's another story.
Anyways, I do plan to introduce some Thrantas and Valors at the start of the GC. I personally find it ridiculous that there are enough Clone War era ships to defend each Republic planet right off the bat. Acclamators, Arquitens, and Venators need to be built over the course of the Clone War. While planets will have unique defense forces.
IE:
•Naboo would have a small fleet of N-1 fighters
•Corellia would have a fleet of CEC ships like the Corellian Destroyer
•Rendili would have some Dreadnaught Heavy Cruisers, and Invincible Dreadnaughts
•Alderaan would have a few Thrantas and an Alderaanian War Frigate
•Rothana would start off with Acclamators
•Kuat would start off with a few Valors, and an Inexpugnable
More generic plants would make use of just general Old Republic ships, like the Thranta, Valor, Hammerhead, Praetorian, Foray, Axehead, and so on. I suppose ships like the Interdictor, and Centurion could be debated as well.
Even old Sith Empire ships would have been recovered and used by a system's local forces. The Harrower class was a reliable Imperial ship, so it would be no surprise that some planets during the Clone Wars might end up using Harrowers, especially in the Republic.
But as I stated before, if you're feeling creative making your own ships would make a whole lot more sense than recycling millennia old ships.
Sure, for richer planers I suppose that would work. But for the average planet, a ship is still a ship. If it ain't broke, don't fix it so to speak.
I don't plan on having TOR ships stay long, or be the only ships for every generic planet anyways. They'll be part of the initial forces for several Republic planets, but they can't be rebuilt.
I really like the idea personally. Would make sense some local militias would be using old Republic vessels after Ruusan effectively disbanded the Navy. The Thranta and Valor are some of my favorite designs in all of Star Wars.
Correct, the main bulk of the Judicial Forces space navy actually were a bundle of rather old, but still sturdy and dangerous ships.
Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers and the 2011 meter long Invincible-class were the main and most numerous of their "capital" ships but it isn't out of the question that they maintained some more different old reliables as well.
Local planetary defense fleets are yet again another pair of shoes as they could have great diversity of available ships.
Carrack Cruisers, DP-20 Frigates (aka Corellian Gunships) and some other already well-known ship classes were also already available and used.
With the formation of the GAR all these were centralized and incorporated and while the new classes like Venators and co. took center stage, second line ships and some sector defenses still used these old vessels to fill gaps and provide reserve forces.
I hope to see the Hammerhead, honestly it should be a mainline Republic ship as the design was versitle enough to last over 4000 years in on variant or another
i really like the idea of planetary militias with unique units. i noticed pretty far back in the pictures for this mod that there were some old republic trooper models. the only visualization of the judicial forces id ever seen was from one of the old comics and they looked more like something out of startship troopers or some other space sci fi than star wars to me. obviously planets like naboo would have entirely unique militias. but i think it would not only be a nice parallel to the clone troopers, but that it would also make quite a bit of sense for more militarized core/inner rim worlds such as annaxes and corelog to have their militia units equipped with old republic trooper style armor. given those worlds long history of stout military service to the republic and the fact that they have been training and recruitment centers for the republic military since times of old it would only make sense that their respective planetary defense forces/militias be much better equipped than those of others. whats more while clone trooper armor began with design elements taken from mandalorian armor such as their t-shaped visor, its hard to miss the similarity phase 1 and 2 armor tends to have with the old republic trooper armor. it simply looks and feels "right" and like i said the armor just fits to well with these planets in particular to leave out. and i could see them using ships such as the centurion (i know of at least one model that is freely available) would be a good fit, its quite large, only a hair shorter than an ISD, and narrow with an excellent profile, and its said its bridge is the size of a concert hall, and that certainly seems to fit the high class, time honored military tradition type asthetic that these aformention worlds seem to have, im not suggesting it be a ship of the line mind you perhaps more along the lines of a command ship, pride of the navy type deal. it wouldnt be a huge leap to assume that at least one such ship, large as it was, could have been retrofitted with the amount of weaponry warrented by its size at the start of the clone wars. perhaps im reading to much into it, but i for one really think its a golden opportunity to use those types of models in a way that not only makes sense, but fits perfectly visually. hope the recomendation is considered.
