Star Wars: Interregnum is an upcoming mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion that builds off of the highly successful Enhanced 4X Mod. Fleeing the unknown terror that is chasing the Vasari, the factions of Sins of a Solar Empire stumble on a temporary wormhole that takes them to a galaxy far, far away. The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.
One little feature in the next update will appeal to Clone Wars fans. Neutral and Mandalorian Republic era ships, such as the Venator and Acclamator, will now fire blue turbolasers.
Imperial versions of these ships will continue to use the modernized green turbolasers.
It's a shame we can't get the neutral Acclamator via modernization dock for those who want their side to have blue turbolasers. Maybe an idea for a Modernization dock II? XP
The Mandalorian Acclamators are obtainable and also have blue turbolasers.
OH yeah I forgot you can spawn Pirate faction ships when you take over their base. So I take it the Pirate captain you can spawn will either have Venator or Keldabe via random chance?
Just Keldabe, since I figured that's what most people want. Also the Keldabe and Venator have different prices.
I guess that is true. Honestly I never played much stock EaW so I am not a big Keldabe fan really this would be my first experience with such ship.
Well I think you will probably like our version of it better then, since we stripped out the silly not really Star Wars weapons and features it had (Mass Drivers, Shield stealing beam) and gave it awesome armor and turbolasers instead. :-)
Sounds much more delightful indeed.
i think the shield stealing ability would fit perfectly into this game! However, to replace the massdrivers with turbolasers sounds quite cool indeed. What made the ship special were these ability and the massdrivers, without both its just a normal battleship (and you could probably just use the venator). Well, thats at least my opinion. Maybe we get a minimod that gives us the ability at least? But hey, do what you think is best! The mod is great anyways, so one detail doesnt have a that great impact (i guess), idk how the other EaW fans think about it.
I agree, I like the Kedalbe, but I much prefer the Venator, but its definitely not a game changer. This is probably one of the best mods for Sins I have played!
ups missclicked xD
I am curious. How may of the Mandalorian ships will be obtainable to the main factions?
All of them but the Venator actually, but it can already be obtained via random encounters (Pirate/Rogue Imperial Modernization Dock). All the unique Mandalorian ships are obtainable if you can conquer a Mandalorian Base.
Wait does that mean we have the Dreadnaught with red shields and Mando fighters also? XD.... I feel we need cut back a bit on the Dreadnaughts. Ever thought of using the Vengeance class Frigate but changing those god awful weapons it was given in to something more appropriate?.. Like a long range artillery Turbolaser?
Mandalorian fighters yes, Red Shields unfortunately no. Shield color is set only on the faction, not ship level. You can see this in game now if you capture a Rebel ship as the Empire, it has blue shields, not the purple it normally has.
Excellent! Always loved the Interceptor IV, I'm glad I'll be able to add it to my fleets.
love it. but was wondering Why not use Mandator II or III-class dreadnought as one of the following titans, New Republic (for a different look and closer to truly matching a SS destroyer), or for the titan you can get from the Kuat shipyard when it spawns, or even as a Mandalorian titan for defending thier planet or base. just a thought
For now the Mandalorians don't need a titan. :-) And the Mandators were only used by the Republic or Empire, not the New Republic, which have their own Dreadnaught sized ships.
Problem with the Mandator also is that it doesn't have a canon image everything surrounding it is merely a fanon design. The only evidence we have on what a Mandator could possibly look like is her cousin ship the Bellator who was based off the Mandator series but focused more on speed and agility than being a weapons platform.
The New Republic is getting the Viscount Star Defender as her titan since she is the canon dreadnought for the New Republic. I however also suggested to Goa he use the Viscount prototype which was a Battlecruiser as a second titan with the same role as the Bellator.
There really isn't much information about the prototype, and I think I'd rather have a different type of ship for a second NR titan.
Yeah, apart from being 3kms in length most the the Viscount's tales are in one book alone. Other than that though the only other real option is the Strident which doesn't have an official size at all or canon image.
Though I secretly wish for the Galactic class to be a NR capital ship... I love that fanon design so much.. XD
