Tibanna Gas Repository 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!
So this is a great idea..... it was all Wariscool (he's freakin awesome)
This model was originally from DICE Battlefront, retextured by me, fixed up by the amazing skills of Revan for rigging and shadows. It was going to be just a prop used on space maps... then WIC came along and delivered his idea:
In our soon to be released skirmish... This station will be buildable by the Galactic Alliance and Hutt Factions at their star base. When the structure is built, it can be placed anywhere on the space map (to be determined if there is a specified range). This structure, the Tibanna Gas Repository, acts like a small Tibanna Gas refinery plant... (not a gas collector, so it can be on any space map) -- it will earn the player credits while they are engaging in multiplayer skirmish battles.
The catch is this... once the player builds this structure, it can then be targeted by the enemy.... If the enemy destroys the Gas Repository, it will erupt into a huge explosion, heavily damaging the units of the player who built it.
So, these things should have a nice price tag, maybe take a while to build, and maybe should earn more money than asteroid mines.... this would make them worth defending... but, if they are destroyed, the defender might lose all their ships that were trying to protect it...
WIC is an evil genius... we are certain now about this.
Another great innovative idea soon to be adding new strategy and tactics to multiplayer experience coming your way soon.

While I try to quell the explosion boner I have ATM. Are you planning to add any shielding to this or give a good amount of HP so it isn't just those red barrels you shoot up in all those FPS games nowadays? While the idea that it is better than an asteroid mine and gives more money it is typically quite easy to bypass the enemy ships defending a mine and just shoot them consider it is as I said a red money giving explosion barrel.
What would you prefer?
Probably would give it some shielding due to how I am interpreting this idea of an explosive goldmine/red barrel that will make pumping out capital ships faster. If this takes awhile to build and is going to give an edge to your economy I think the engineers would want to put some shields up so the stray laser blasts doesn't set everything on fire in a nearby radius and also lose a large investment just due a few fighters and bombers needing to fulfill their murder boner as this would be on a top list of priority targets.
It’s not so much the damage that these give, but rather the importance is creating a new strategic point anywhere on the map for multiplayer. This allows the player to decide where the flashpoint of conflict will be located, and they can use natural obstacles such as nebula and asteroids to their benefit.
Choosing to ignore these targets will result in a huge financial increase for your opponent which they will surely say “thank you” by showing off their new fleet of capital ships ;)
Very nice space station. What are those ships? Is that what I think it is?
Fractalsponge.net
Nah, i made that ship years ago, it is the Y-9 Tramp Freighter, not the same as Fractals.
Moddb.com 2014 is when I invented it, it is a canon ship, but no picture ever existed of it, so my unique creation
Damn, i wanted to say welcome to taloran, but the background doesnt exactly fit
mother of god, that idea is awesome. y'all are nuts, i love it
But the attacking ships would be destroyed, too, right?
With how our code is set up, we can’t do that, so attacking ships are safe
