The Mere Cruiser
So, we have had a lot of discussion regarding our new Ugly fighters by Kad. Uglies while being fun to talk talk about, will be a vital part of the game. The Peace Brigade, pirates and many Hutt Mercenaries all use Uglies. The Hutts have a very aging and old fleet, relying on many of its forces be comprised of Pirate and Mercenary fleets such as those stationed at Ylesia and Kessel. The Hut faction will need to find ways to evade the Vong and Galactic Alliance in order to build up its shipyards and develop its true fleet, which will then allow it to finally wage war and expand the boundries of the Hutt Empire (alternate game history). But, until all that can happen, the Hutts have to use whatever old scrap ships they can find, which are slow moving cargo haulers outfitted with blackmarket weapons, that just happen to be effective vs Alliance forces due to the reinforced armor hulls from operating within the asteroid fields.
One such ship as this is the Mere Cruiser. The Mere is slow, weakly shielded, but above average armored for a light cruiser. This makes it a rather tough tank of a ship (for its size), able to pack a punch with its 8 medium turbos and 9 black market Imperial AA blasters. The Mere also has a hangar, and can launch 1 squadron of Ugly interceptor craft.
Special abilities:
Power to Weapons
Tractor Beam (passive)
Deploy fighters
The Mere was not fast, but proved to be an excellent defense platform with its heavy armor and numerous AA weapons
Is that ship made out of a venator? and other parts of course?
Sadly no, but that would have been interesting
Mere is a clone wars era cruiser, it is on wookiepedia
Starwars.wikia.com
This texture was a joint effort between myself and Azat, our newest texture artist in training. Azat is learning fast, and doing very well, we will have more to show from him soon.
>able to pack a punch with its 4 medium turbos and 9 black market Imperial AA blasters.
I see 17 turrets (10 above 7 below). so its either 8 turbos or 13 AA guns?
I apparently can’t add.... 8 medium turbos
Thx :)
ahh, Jedi Starfighter flashbacks I had a lot of fun with that game.
Can you made stronger version of this ship maybe Mere cruiser MKII or Mere destroyer it would be interesting :)
Only 1 squadron you say? with a hanger that size, I would guess it had more. That being said, this is a hut ship,which has limited supplies.
Still, that looks awesome!
If you look at the size of the zceptor you can get a better idea of the hangar space. Only 12 (1 squadron) will actually fit (we did this in 3DsMax)
Wow, you're right. Very interesting indeed.
This one doesn't look ugly it looks like a really cool pirate/hutt ship
Says on the wiki it has a composite beam laser on the front. Really cool ship!
