What about the Yuuzhan Vong?

Wouldn't it be easer to make it based around the new republic era (for balancing reasons) also if you decided you wanted to add another race there would be more to select from than in the classic era (ssi-ruuk, Yevathan, and the almighty Yuuzhan vong which you already have made models for)

Hey Blackhaze269 I will help you I just started today and have about 50 planets out,not even half way done!

Well ... yeah. The last Star Wars mod I worked on (and this will date me) was for the original X-Wing back in 1994, I believe. I made a new campaign for the game that took place between Empire and Return of the Jedi. I figure that, while it will be fun to just play skirmish mode with Star Wars ships, why not try to make a full-on single player experience out of it?

As for "administrative," all projects need administration. Chaos breeds poor quality. Eventually it would be nice to move from the "throwing ideas into the bowl" phase into execution.

well we cant do anything bvecause eville needs the files... anyways it seems IC and SD will cooperate with uss or so i heard

Hmmm, another problem has become apparent. IF we make hyperspace capable strikecraft like tiny frigates, they will fight like frigates.

By that, I mean they will move into range and stop dead while firing on their targets.

Now, I don't know if you can give ship type vessels 'strafing' behavior. Anybody else know?

Apparently maps in GF are flipped upside down and flipped right to left...

Not sure if any one has thought of this:

The Hutts might make a good pirate faction since they are a criminal organization and already control a portion of the galaxy or possibly an unplayable faction option you could ally with via diplomacy.

Eville,

I was just wondering, since someone mentioned the Hutts, did you ever create a model for the Darksaber, Durga's short lived superweapon?

I was just curious to see your take on what it would look like, and someone once mentioned to me that you modeled "The Eye Of Palpatine", is there any place I could visit to just see a picture of them, if they do exist?

Thanks, and good luck with the mod.

Perhaps the idea of a single placement interdictor could be possible(a structure)? Like the large dovin basals used by the Yuuzhan Vong. Would suck ships out of phase space int the middle of a jump?

(Sorry if this has been mentioned already, I was lazy and have only read a few pages...)

Is it possible to have frigates and above fighting like fighters, IE, actually moving around? I was somewhat disappointed that combat some somewhat devoid of movement in Sins, you have two options, you can sit there and slug it until the other guy is dead, or you can kite them around a planet.

I think I may have a solution to the hyperspace capable squadrons conundrum:

Create a host for them that is tiny and invisible. It would be unseen and not capable of being attacked. This way it could hyperspace in and launch it's squadron (not so different from the squadron emerging from hyperspace directly).

Now the difficulty is in how to control the fighters - especially when it comes to telling them to hyperspace out. One potential option is to tie the squadron's target to the target of the host (don't know if this is possible or not). Give the invisible host the squadron icon and issue it orders and the squadron acquires the target as well. The invisible host would be very fast and stay with its squadron so that the icon remains in the appropriate place.

Another potential option is to utilize the fleet mechanic to allow you to select the squadron by selecting the invisible host thus issuing them attack and move orders indirectly similarly to the first option. Not sure if it is possible to have squadrons join fleets with their host automatically though.

Last (and least desirable) option is to forget trying to abstract it and just admit that there is an invisible host ship that you have to issue your orders to while issuing attack orders to its squadron.

Now we are presented with the problem of destroying the squadron if the invisible host is invulnerable (and invisible). As a solution, firstly the host's fighter building rate could be very slow (maybe 1 fighter in 5 minutes or so). This is to stay true to the idea that its squadron is an autonomous unit operating independently and to prevent you from having a never ending squadron that you can't kill or chase off. Then maybe it will be possible to set it to self destruct when its squadron reaches 0%. Or if this isn't possible, remove its invulnerability when its squadron reaches 0% (in that case maybe instead of making it invisible give it a fighter mesh so that it can be killed when the time comes), don't know if this is possible either.


I know there were a lot of maybes in there but hopefully one of those methods is possible with the Sins engine. And if not, oh well, I tried

Ok sweet, if you want the high quality version just PM me n I'll email it to ya.
