Know Your Weapons... image - Yuuzhan Vong at War mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
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!
Turrets are a very important feature of our mod.
We have decided to standardize turrets instead of creating custom turrets for each ship. This is because just as ships are produced and sold by companies, so are weapons systems. It didn't make sense to me that every world would produce unique weapons for every type of ship produced, but rather dedicated weapon manufacturing companies would produce specific weapon types and sell them wholesale to the entire galaxy. Each different weapon we feature will be used by a variety of ships, each having different strengths and weaknesses such as range, damage and reload rate. This is what defines ship roles and makes certain ships better vs others.
The HDLT : Heavy Dual Laser Turret
"An oldie but a goodie..." The HDLT is a beam weapon type of laser. It fires a concentrated elongated beam of laser energy at it its target, causing moderate damage to shields and rock and literally melting away armor. The HDLT is hindered by a longer reload time.
Turret Design: Geroenimo
Texture: Burntstrobe
Rigging: Niko
The HDLT can be seen featured on such ships as the MC85, CR92, the Rejuvenator Class Star Destroyer, the Corellian Punisher, MC80 Liberty and the Indpendence (HomeOne Class)
Here is a rare seen picture of the Independence firing its 4 HDLT:

lol, you tease :P
lol, what fun would be if we just showed everything at once... :)
Why always repugnant NR Ships? Everyone knows the Empires the only choice.
In the Mod, will there be turret muzzle flashes and will they rotate?
Looks awesome, gotta love beam weapons :D
All turrets will rotate left and right, all gun barrels will elevate up and down.
Cheesecake is making amazing particles for all the weapons, specially crafted to reduce lag while also looking mind blowingly good.
yeah finally a beamweapon for the MC´s, i´m waited for it since I saw it in RotJ.
sadly it´s difficult to create beamweapons for normal HP´s in EaW.
can´t wait to see that guns in action
nice to see ya Wolf ;)
I didn't really understand Your point in the description, so sorry if my question may sound stupid: will You generally differentiate the turret's designs by the ships producer?
Thank You for paying Your attention to this
we have only about 30 different types of turrets. These same turrets are shared by all ships all across the galaxy.
So, when a ship building company such as Rendili Star Drive or KDY builds a ship, they are not also building their own turrets, but rather are buying turrets from established weapon developers such as Loronar or Taim & Bak.
This is why all ships use the same turrets. Independent factions that are not part of the Galactic assembly such as the Chiss, Vagaari and Ssi-Ruuvi have unique turret designs since they are associated with other worlds.
This is how we justify using the same turrets on all the ships. It is more believable to me, and also greatly enhances the scale and perspective factor since there is a similar reference point amongst ships now.
Thank You for clarifing this to me, it helped me alot!
Any time, happy to help ;)
I'm very interested in the missiles hope to see them soon!
nice little turret!
and with textures :O
;)
