Star Wars: the Fleet packs

Star Wars: the Fleet packs

I have always loved this game because just when its gets stale the sandbox element allows you to do something new and its like a whole new game. 

I have to thank Ronin for the newest reemergence for me, his Federation and Empires mod has inspired me to go back and create some ship packs of my own.  I think I will, of course make them available here soon, and include them as a option in the Star Wars mod, that we have been working on, sorry it has taken so long, but you can appreciate that we are pretty busy sometimes, (I am a grad student).  But the mod is alive and well.  

Just wanted to show off what I have done and wanted to ask the community if there was any ship they would like to see, my ownly limit is it can't be a super capital ship since I made the ISD's the huge hull, and really this is because I don't know if I could do them justice, I might try again down the road.

Planned packs:  Imperial, Old Republic(including KOTOR era), Rebel/New Republic, CIS, maybe a Consortium (includes all crime groups but not sure yet, a later on project).

Well here is my little fleet.



The hammerhead will be for the republic but I didn't want to leave it out.

Ships right now:
ISD
Dominator
Venator
Victory
Acclamator
Bayonet Frigate
TIE fighter
TIE Interceptor

Ships still planned:
Carrack
Dreadnought
Lancer
Imp Gunnship/missle Gunship
TIE Bomber

Could use some suggestions for huge and large hulls, please keep in mind ISD's huge, Vic and Venator Large

My cargo hulls ships are the :

Modular task force constuctor:



The Imperial Cargo Carrier



The Imperial trader tug

No, I think you can still use Vader, just REALLY spell it out in the Readme that this is a non-cannon interpretaion sinnce Vader is SO iconic.  But it really depends on how your mod uses Vader, I think if you keep him in the spirt of his character as a bad ass sith lord I think that would be cool but I wouldn't make him the lord of the dance or nothing.  Lucas Arts might not like the destrcution of a beloved character like that.  I think that is the kind of non-connon issues that fall under that "foxed" rule.  Keeping characters true to form.  It would like making Luke a drug addict or something.

Vader is still the ass kicking villan he is.

Han Solo though, he is the leader of the Corellians plus Boba Fett is the elader of the Mandalorians.

accturaly if Boba Fett is leder of the Mandalorians, then he is not Boba Fett he is Mandalor, that is the title to all manalorian leaders.

I'll have to do more research.

well if you have any questions about star wars tell me and i will gladly help.

Using some "imagination & creative license", i opted for Boba Fett as leader of the 'Clone Army' Minor Race in CoSH... which may not be so obvious to some. ;)

Reply #32 Top

Yeah I could totally see Boba Fett being the leader of a rogue element of the Clone Army, or maybe not even a rogue maybe the Empire allows the Clone Wars clones to retire and Boba leads them back to the Mandalorian ways.

 

Hay also I am proud to present this pic.

 

Doesn't look like much just three ships I made, BUT... its the Imperial Hull type and its working fine right now all the ships are there.  I am stoked.  I could release it right now.  I am going to wait just a few more days.  I want to add in some more small ships (Imperial Missle gun boat), and the TIE Bomber, and a Troop transport.  But I promise to release it before I go on Vaction this Wednesday.  And this is only the beginning.  I am not done with the Imperial I think I will add to it like Ronin did with his packs, release a V2 while I am working on the Republic, which the next set of hulls I will be working on.

If your a fan of the Federation and Empire Mod these packs will be exactly the same in format.  I used Ronin's blue print, which works perfectly.

Han Solo being the leader of the Corellians is explained later in the campaign. I can see Boba Fett being the Mandalorian leader.

Hay does anyone havve any thoughts on what the Imperial Troop Transport should be.  The sential shuttlecraft is a obvious choice but its more a shuttle not a dedicated starship for moving troops.  Which makes me think the Acclamator but I would really like to add a new ship.

Landing craft, hello! Or mabye an AT-AT barge.

5 times I submitted this question to www.starwars.com over the years and never got an answer.  Ignore me? HOW DARE THEY!

I know AT-ATs have troops in them.  I know Star Destroyers transport them.  BUT HOW DO THEY GET THEM DOWN TO THE SURFACE?

Reply #37 Top

That is easy, the theta-class ATAT barage takes them down.  I am more concerned about a dedicated troop transport, because your right Ronin, the ISD ferries troops about.  What would be a good transport for the game?  Right now I am leaning toward the Imperial Dropship transport, seen in Rogue Squadron 3.  Its the last one I need to do before I release Imperial pack V1.  The TIE Bomber and Imperial Gunship are done.  I think I will include the Lancer, Carrack, and Dreadnought in V2, mabye V3 with the Dreadnought since it will be in three factions Imp, Rep, and Rebs all use them.

AJ, I was thinking for the New Era mod, for a custom map should I make the entire Star Wars Galaxy since I am already doing that for the ANE campaign?

Sure

well i whould go with the Acclamator becase it can hold the shuttles of something.

Reply #41 Top

Yeah I agree, Acclamator will be the trooptransport for now, I reserve the right to go back and add more cargo hulls though.  I am uploading the V1 Imperial Pack today.

 

Now on to the old Republic, which will go from the KOTOR era to the Clone Wars.

Reply #42 Top

Well I am back and starting back with a fresh sense of purpose, got a few ships done, the Legacy star destroyer, the dreadnought, and the centurian battleship (ravenger).  I can't seem to load pictures right now on imageshack but I will get them here as soon as possible.

and this is republic? if so make it gray and red

for empire make it gray and black or just all gray becase the colors just don't look right. but good job.

oh i have an idea you can make costom Terro stars for the rebulic the empire

Rebulic Starforge

Empire Death Star

what do you think.

Reply #46 Top

Aggie, what ship prefix are you using so I can give you the B-Wing?

Reply #47 Top

@Freeman43, I used white with black trim for the Empire.  I went Gray with red trim for the Republic.  Probably dark grey and blue for the CIS and I hadn't thought of a color scheme for the Rebels yet.  But it doesn't matter you can choose any colors you like.  These are just my show case colors so you can easily tell which ship picture belongs to what pack.  W&B Empire, G&R Republic and so on.

 

@Ronin, thank you so much for the B-Wing.  I haven't made any Rebel ships yet but I was planning to use ARR,  I was going to use REB but its so close to REP which what I used for the Republic.  ARR= A lliance to R estore the R epublic.

Started to really work on the cargo hulls.

 

Finished the AA-9 Coruscant Freighter

 

 

Next is the Ebon Hawk if I can figure out how to get the half circle shape right.

Reply #49 Top

Encase it from a spindle or antenna reach & then resize to hide, aggie... can't recall the exact component number but i certainly saw a kinda_half_elliptic type of thingy which may fit what you're describing above.

Ladies and Gents,

 

Have a question.  The next release AFTER the final ship pack, IE Empire--->Republic---->Rebels---->CIS---->Minor Races----> Superweapons.

 

What kind of stuff do you guys and gals think I should include and is it possible to include them?

 

Empire---> Death Star (still working around the whole Terror Star issue)

Republic ---> Dark Forage (is it possible)  Some sort of miner that gives you a free ship, I guess its possible but might be hardcoded not to work.

Rebels----> Do they have anything?  Or maybe I should go another route with them like somme sweet tech like Force sensitive pilots that make those plucky little ships tear it up or something, but again that is full mod talk not ships?

CIS---- Death Star Alpha?  How can I make this distinct from the Death Star or should I give the Empire something else like worldcrushers, and make the Death Star Alpha a super Space Station???

 

Also what do you all think about minor races?

I am two options on this.  There are tons of minor races out there but some are REALLY minor and in not complete faction, even for a minor race so I am thinking of combining them alittle for example creating a Cartel Consortium to include the Black Sun and the Hutts and so on, sort of a Evil Rebel Alliance?  Or is it better to just make up stuff to fill in the gaps? 

The issue there is I want this to be a cannon as possible.  I have taken some liberties with the time line, IE the Republic will have ships from the KOTOR era through the Clone Wars, but they are all technically Republic ships.
