New Republic Space Station image - Rise of the Mandalorians mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
The Empire has fallen and a New Republic is born out of the conflict. But in the ashes of civil war, yet another life stirs...
I'm finally back! Sorry for the dry stretch there... My wife and I were in the midst of moving into our first home so we were without internet for a while, as well as having all the computer equipment packed up. That said, work has been ongoing on my laptop but I have several things which are about half done...not yet ready for screenshots.
In the meantime, here is a quick look at the New Republic space station model. The idea was to create a station that looked like it was a modified or perhaps improved version of the X7 Deep Space factory. The story behind it is that the New Republic, being somewhat young during the mod, needed to establish orbital defense systems quickly so they simply commandeered and modified former Imperial installations. Seemed reasonable to me. As always, feedback is welcome and now that I have my setup back...more updates to come in the following week.
damn, nice! it'd be a shame if someone just ... blew it up *chuckles in Mando'a*
in AotR the empire uses mobile starbases; maybe just remove the engines and stuff from an old cruiser and use it as a starbase? it doesnt get much quicker i guess.
I have plans already for both Mando and Remnant bases actually. Though, a derelict starship converted into a base is indeed a cool idea.
yea, would also fit the rebel-mentality of taking old stuff and using it until it completly falls apart. besides, for outer-rim-worlds this would be even more fitting (for example as an additional orbital defense platform - how should tatooine afford a GOLAN?)
It could work very well as a pirate or mercenary station, actually. It won't be used for any of the major factions though.
You used this thing for the new units in skirmish in the old version, didn't you?
What size is it going to be? It seems somewhat smaller than the vanilla station.
Looks good though.
Yep. I used several of the station variants from TIE Fighter in the old version. Obviously this is a totally new model and texture, as well as some of my own embellishments.
The final form of the station is actually about the size of a small capital ship...not quite the size of a Star Destroyer. So yeah, I guess a bit smaller than the vanilla stations but that was intentional.
Awesome Stuff
but only 4 levels ?
This isn't even it's final form.
That looks so damn good. I love your work, keep it up !
Utilitarian, functional. I like.
What about Derelict for level 1 on campaign? Proper station afterwards
That would make sense more for Civil War era mod, I think. The New Republic wasn't quite as hard pressed for equipment as the Rebellion. They did use a LOT of refurbished Imperial tech but weren't so desperate that they often used what most would consider garbage.
Pirates on the other hand...
A Star Destroyer, Nebulon, or Kedable would make a good lvl 1, as it can only build fighters, and have them for their garrison.
Wouldn't have to be derelict either - The space stations can move if given an engine hardpoint I think.
Yeah, you can have "buildings" which behave like units if you code them correctly. I've been playing with that for my Halo mod . Still have some research to do though.
Nice one!
Damn! This design is beyond amazing, especially the first two modules. It would be cool to have unique space stations which are real fortresses and you need a giant fleet to crack them down or with special building options.
So mainly I want stations to be a big No-No for assaulting with fighters. Gone are the days where fighter spam can blast open an entire station. Bombers can pack a punch, to be sure...but they will need support to win. Basically, no "lazy" tactics. You have to actually risk some ships.
First form would be very fun for my dog. He loves frisbees! And this one has little lights coming out of it :D
How about a Mandalorian Strill?
Very good textures! What programm you use? 3d coat?
Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. Everything is hand painted...even the ambient occlusion pass.
Nice work, Far!
Nice work!
(Even though stage two looks like a Star Trek Star Fleet Base.)
Lol. Thanks!
love it, I really wanna play the new mod version, keep up
Patience! Every day is another inch closer. There really isn't much left to do at this point.
You never fail to impress
Thanks a lot!
