Behold the Yuuzhan Vong Army! This mod adds the Yuuzhan Vong Race as a playable faction and all units of this era. We are a community of modders working for the greater goal, so anyone who wants to help or support us is welcome!
We've been debating the Victory Class Destroyer for a while.
Whilst having a nice base model originally made by Jeroen and then heavily modified, it was too far off canon for most team members' taste.
Moddb.com
So after going back and forth, we decided to bin Jeroen's model and all derivatives we had and remade the VSD model from scratch following the original sketches as close as possible, whilst still giving it our own touch.

The mod will feature the Victory Class I, Victory Class II and the Imperial Remnant's modified Victory Class, commonly labelled Victory Class III (not in the picture).
The Victory Class-I Destroyer
The Victory Class I serves as both, a long range missile platform and a close range brawler. It's up to the player to decide whether to use the mid to close range Heavy Turbolaser Batteries or the long-range Advanced Concussion Missile launchers.
The Victory Class-II Destroyer
The Vicotry Class II - having lost all missile capabilities - is a ship for close quarters combat. Ion Cannons, AA-Capabilities and additional Turbolasers allow the small and fast ship to engage other ships at point-blank range and come out on top.
Having lost the resources to support a large fleet of ISDs the Imperial Remnant had to use its resources in a more intelligent way, so they started the production of the VSD-III as their main line battleship ... expect more details soon(tm).

Oops, I forgot to mirror a few of the turrets ... that's what happens if you do stuff like that in a rush during your lunch break.
The victory class has really grown on me over the years. I used to scrap em all in campaign for more isds
You'll have an interesting experience in YVaW when trying that tactic.
Looking great, though I did think the previous Victory MK3 model did look great too.
Will you be releasing the Victory III-class as a free release model atleast, or did you scrap it entirelly even for free release?
We won't work on a model we're not using in the mod.
There will be a Victory III, which will be released publicly with the mod, but it will be beased on the new model, not the old one linked in the description.
I agree, this looks great but the previous one had something about it I really liked.
It was a nice looking model... but it just didn’t look like the actual victory sd that Lucas Arts invented, it was way too tall and thick... essentially the same model as the ISD, just made smaller and with wings added and a new bridge.
Don't forget the narrowing near the tip of ger's VSD, which is really unnecesary and distracting imo.
I've been meaning to ask. Your avatar pic, what is it from?
If your talking about Burnstrobe it think it is supposed to Lord Shadowspan from EU.
Crap. I should have clarified. I'm talking about _W_'s avatar. I've got a funny feeling I've seen that somewhere before...
Then I have no idea, Sorry.
So this is Kad’s first actual model for the Vong mod. He made it from scratch, not modifying anyone else’s. Doci was generous to give us his version to review before we made ours. We threw out Jeroenimo’s model which we were originally using for our Victory mk3 because it really did not match the Lucas arts concept work. Kad did a great job on this and I assisted him with detail placement.
Great job Kad, this came out wonderful. With this new model, we will include a mk1, mk2, mk3 and s Chiss version
I actually liked that model. I thought of that and the fractalsponge model as the vsd m3 a and b
Awesome work Kad and Strobe !!
And congratulations to the first model contribution mate :) !

For my first proper model this is incredibly well received.
So thanks a lot to all of you!
Gotta wonder who would win in a fight, a VSD 1 with its longe range missle capabilities or the VSD 2 with its superior brawling abilities.
I'm going to break this down in phases exactly how I think this would go down
Very Long range-
VSD I should be holding position or accelerating away from the VSD II, as it's missiles are guided and will vector to hit the VSD II.
VSD II should be closing as fast as it can, and bolstering it's shields, until we hit mid range it will be mostly wasteful to fire on the VSD I.
Long Range-
Both VSDs should continue using the same tactics, and begin launching fighters (They can only carry 24 TIE fighters each so it's a pretty moot point) at this point the VSD I should be taking some decent shield damage but still be closing the gap between the two ships rapidly.
Mid Range-
This is where the real battle begins, and the first decision the VSD I made comes to be REALLY important. At an overall firepower standpoint the VSD II is at an advantage. It has Ion Cannons which will now start tearing into the VSD I's shields. A smart captain would have been forcing a running battle from the beginning rendering the firepower difference moot- I feel that if you forced a 10 minute closing period into a 20 minute chase you will have taken their shields to where you can overwhelm it with sheer turbolaser firepower and several more volleys of missiles as fast as they can with a complement of ion cannons. We will go with what the average captain would have done, which is holding position awaiting the enemies charge because it shows the difference in firepower types better (Types Because the overall amounts of weaponry are similar)
Medium Close Range-
VSD I's only hope now is it's better hull and shielding (Check Wookiepedia, VSD I is slightly tougher overall) VSD I accelerates to combat speed and continues to lay out full volleys of missiles and turbolaser fire, VSD II Carries on with prior activity
Close Range-
At this point the battle is decided, VSD I's shields falling since they didn't force a chase and the VSD II has been hammering them with it's Ion Cannons, and the VSD II's shields are barely holding up but are still online, the missiles and turbolasers couldn't possibly disable them within that little an amount of time. The VSD II can now surgically strike out at the less maneuverable heavy cruiser's engines and weaponry. They would have to settle for destroying her since they have a 440 man shortage on manpower in carried troops, and they don't have enough crew to pick up that slack and assemble a skeleton crew for her.
Overall the combat types for the ships are two entirely different beasts. VSD I is a long range/brawler. She uses her range to soften up targets then rushes in and strike the killing blow. VSD II Rushes in and hammers a target to death.
Thanks for the answer, although i think any captain who was in the least bit competent would bait the VSD 2 and run.
The VSD 2 is faster.
So I followed the link, it seems that Moddb only holds a 4 year buffer for images on a mod page </3 can't go back any farther than the VSD III
You need to add the “archive” to the URL:
Moddb.com
It's a really bad feature, prevents one from chilling and scrolling back normally. There's also a "browse archive" button under the share buttons.
The older model by Jereon seems to be intimidating and able to back up its bite. 4 octuple-barbette heavy-turbolasers on the smaller victory class SDs, is not something to be laughed at. I can only imagine what you have planned for the Victory class Star Destroyer mkIII.
Very nice models but the Victory II should have quad laser cannons intead of dual at the sides
Any sources for that claim?
That's the official canon armament:
Turbolasers batteries (20)
Double heavy turbolaser cannons (20)
Heavy Ion cannons (10)
Tractor beam projectors (10)
Brilliant work! Can't wait to see what VSD III looks like in time.
