Great job so far, keep up the good work.

It just dawned on me this morning that a death star could use the VL titan's ultimate move. Please tell me this is the case, or if not seriously consider it. I want to destroy a planet named Alderaan. 

May I just say this is an awesome mod?  After playing Entrenchment Requiem, this is an enormous improvement.  The graphics are great and I like what I see for the ships so far (granted it's just the Empire at the moment).  In the Entrenchment mod the ships struck me as too small.

As much as I do love what you guys have adopted from other Lucasarts titles (did I hear an X-Wing Alliance pilot?   ), I do wish that in the Entrenchment version hadn't been so thoroughly done.  You guys worked so hard to balance it out that I think something got lost along the way.  Maybe it was just me, maybe it just took getting used to.

All I can say is I'm much more delighted with this Rebellion beta for Requiem.  I hope you can keep it up!

e: after checking up, it seems I might've been on that other Star Wars mod.  The problem is, I downloaded two but only unpacked one and have, since that time, uninstalled all of 'em.  Anyway, it might not've been Requiem I played with the diminished ship size.  And either way I do like what I see so far here.

That is not possible. A Death Star cannot be made in Sins.

It's impossible to destroy planets like the Death Star does is what I'm getting at. It's scale would also dwarf everything in Sins, even those in a strictly Star Wars total conversion, and it would be treated as of it was a normal ship by Sins' engine, rather than as a massive battlestation.

what about trying this a diferent way, the deathstar not as a ship or orbital at all, just a graphic, as in , when toggle scuttle, at 5 seconds remaining show graphic Deathstar, at 1 second ramianing show deathstar beam.

now i have no idea what the engine will or wont allow you to do, but having it as a not interactable graphic image that is triggeered by the scuttle planet ability, fake destroying the planet, by shooting a image that appears to be a beam at the planet, while in truth the planet is using its own abilities that have been there the whole time. 

It is awesome as the titan.  And humongous.  And beautiful.

They should have sent a poet. 

Great mod for Diplomacy I can tell it is going to be even better for Rebellion with what I've seen so far in the beta.

One suggestion I am going to throw out there. (I've been meaning to try this for my own mod). I like bombing planets into the stone age but as rebels, this seems out of place. Maybe you could change the bombing graphic to the colonize one and remove the planet explosions but still keep the damage modifier? This way it "appears" as troops are landing to recapture it. It's a minor thing though that  doesn't stop me from enjoying the mod.

Perhaps the Death Star could function as a Titan, but given the problem that it cannot destroy a planet due to Sins physics, perhaps it can target and destroy ships and structures, (similar to its use in Return of the Jedi). Give it an ability that can instantly destroy one frigate/cruiser/capital ship/starbase/defensive structure and with a reasonably long cooldown, (maybe between half or the same of the the Novalith cannon for example).
