I know you said the Corellian Destroyer... But damn, I didn't think it'd dwarf a Dreadnought cruiser like that. Makes it look so much tougher than I first thought.

The asteroids also look nice as well. Good to hear it they won't be static as well. Will the direction they move be random?

One last question: Will any ships be immune to the asteroid fields?

Well it is just a bit smaller than a star destroyer and the Dreadnought is only about 1/4 the length of said ship. I'm trying to scale as accurately as I can.

Fighters and corvettes obviously won't be affected by asteroids but all the larger ships will.

I'm pretty sure the asteroids aren't getting their due in this shot. The MASSIVE Corellian sexy beast is really stealing the show. It's like saying you watch porn for the story.

Wait...you mean you're more interested in HOW Sindy got that A+ than why she needed it?

Failing her graduating class, Sindy begged for a D...just so she could pass.

See, we could be porn writers already! Lol

Would be great if you could get a point defense system on some ships to clear away asteroids, that'd be pretty cool :D

Woah! Now that IS an idea :) And if I'm not mistaken...completely doable. I'm off to attempt it now.

You might want to have a chat with Burntstrobe about that. We do have something along those lines in the mod.

Description

Density has been adjusted so that asteroids are spread out vertically as well. This hopefully creates a sense of volume... It's not as if asteroids rest on a plane, there is no up and down in space (even though we play the game on a virtual plane of sorts) so really, they should be arranged more in a spherical fashion.

I've also updated the texture and slightly adjusted the animations so that the entire field moves, albeit very slowly. In this way, you don't have static asteroids with only a select few that appear to be tumbling through space.

Lastly, I've added shadow volumes to the entire prop, so that asteroids not only cast self-shadows but cast onto each other and onto ships that pass by (or through...if they're crazy enough to follow us!).
