Star Wars Mod

I figured since it is inevitable, I will start a thread to get ideas out on a star wars mod. Who will the sides be? What will the map look like? Units? Tech? etc.

There is a very unbalanced release of a few of the models. It is a good many pages back, but there is a site for it.

Because the hardcoded limit for capital ships has been increased from 5 to 9 in 1.1, are there going to be 4 more cap ships in the Star Wars mod?

The Star Destroyers need moved to cruiser slots to make room for the real capital ships. The Star Dreadnaughts (Super Star Destroyers) Executer, Soveriegn, and Eclipse. Danman did exaclty that with his Atlantian Race and it worked extremely well...

But if an ISD isn't a capital ship, I don't know what it is, because it certainly isn't a mere cruiser. It's a FREAKING STAR DESTROYER! IT BELONGS IN THE CAPITAL SHIP SECTION!

Sorry, but a Star Destroyer is a Star Destroyer. That's all there is to it.

And I certainly hope EvilleJedi releases at least the Executor for the Empire in his next release.

I'm guessing that Eville is somehow going to have to make another tab for the "super" class ships. Personally I think they're so big that they should be built by the Empire's builder units (like TEC's LEVs).

The SSD you are talking about were mainly one offs as they were so big. So an ISD IS a capital ship - the SSDs are BIG captial ships :)

SpardaSon21---Star Wars canon sugests that a capital ship is any military starship larger than 300 meters in length. meaning that even a murauder corvette is considered a capital ship. im not suggesting that star destrouers are not capital ships, only that they should not be in the same class as star dreadnaughts. "the Imperial-class was a huge warship, but in the Imperial Navy, it was one of the Empire's smaller main capital ships, a mid-sized warship like its predecessor, the Venator-class."-starwars wiki
Star Destroyers were designed as midsized battleships, that could operate on their own or provide escort for larger command ships such as the executer.

I can understand that why you want to split them up. However, a Star Destroyer does not belong in the cruiser slot. As you said, they are battleships, and battleships are definitely not cruiser-sized. If they were, they'd be battlecruisers.

And Vader's flagship was a Star Destroyer until he got the Executor, so escorts they are not. They are front-line battleships, and that justifies them to be in the capital ship slot.

They shouldn't be moved to less than capital, because then Star Destroyers wouldn't take up a command point, and could be spammed relatively easily.

And unfortunately Sins does not allow any more than 3 build classes. Otherwise we could do frigate, cruiser, capital, and supercapital.

because of how sins works, ISDs will be capital ships, but primarily because the cruisers are at least 1/4th as powerful and you cannot tie certain in game abilities to non-capital ships. ISDs are basically force projection, they are the battleships when a real battle ship isn't around.

I will be eliminating the free capital ship and then rebalancing the costs of the capital ships to be directly proportional to their offense and defense. This should eliminate any issue with the SSD being on the same tab as an ISD, it will be worth its weight in ISDs and will be a investment equal to its capabilities.

For right now I won't be opening up the capital ships to 9 because of the extra work involved. I have plans for these slots in the future though.

Well, you could have SSD's require certain research so you can't get an Eclipse-class right off the bat as an Empire player. That would force the OP star dreadnoughts until much later game by which point the Empire player has most likely already made a few capital ships, and so would have to bankrupt a few systems to build an Eclipse.

FYI, I thought you guys should know this, as this effects your mod too.

oh and the only other thing i really want to go with bigger tactical circles is the option to bypass planets so that you do not get stuck crossing these expanses.

I don't know if someone already asked this, but are the Yuuzhan Vong going to be a third race?
Because that would be awesome...
