Star Wars Discussion / You your own star wars faction

« on: September 19, 2016, 09:38:25 PM »

I had noticed a thread similar to what I'm about to propose but it limited you to only and imperial warlord faction. I wanted to open the table to mean any faction in general a warlord, pirate, or New Republic. What is it your star wars faction would look like?
My idea as a sort of guideline
Faction Name: Deep Core Empire
Short Backstory: The Empire was formed by rouge Admiral Troika since he took a more moderate stance in Imperial politics. Isard saw his moderate stance as a threat to her more extremist policies forcing her to try and get rid of him lest more of the Imperial fleet join him than was already loyal to him. Forced to flee after her botched assassination attempt to his secret holding in the Deep Core Troika gathered his forces. He remained loyal to the Empire despite Isards treachary vowing to help the Empire become powerful once again. His forces would go on to play a part in both Thrawn's campaign and operation Shadow hand. Although he only took direct action himself against the NR during Daala's reformation of the Empire because he felt the Empire couldn't afford for him to remain holed up in the Core any longer. He would be a leading advocate of the IR making peace with the NR during the time of the Final Imperial Push. However, His Empire still remained even into the Yuuzhan Vong War where it served as a rally point for fleets of Galactic Alliance ships moving in to retake Coruscant.
Capital Planet: Eclipse
Faction Leader: Admiral Troika: A veterain of the early days of the Empire Troika has immense tactical prowess on the field of battle. While He was not even in the same league as Thrawn he was noted to have the same amount of tactical skill in both space and land combat. He commands the Assertor Class star dreadnaught, Leviathan, in space and an AT-AT on the ground.
Space units:
two Super Class ships: Mandator MKIII and Torpedo Sphere
5 primary Primary Capital Ships: ISD 1, ISD 2, Space ARC Cruiser, Rejuvenator class Star Destroyer, and Secutor Star Destroyer
5 secondary capital ships: VSD 1, VSD 2, Assault Frigate MKII, Bakura class Star Destroyer, and Republic Class heavy Cruiser
5 support ships: Strike Class medium cruiser, Namana class light cruiser, Pursuit class light cruiser, IPV-4, and Nebulon B2 frigate
5 Starfighter types: TIE Avenger, TIE Defender, Preybird, TIE Punisher, and TIE Annihilator
Ground units:
8 Vehicle types: XR-85 tank droid, AT-AT, TIE Crawler, AT-MT, NR-N99 droid tank, Homing Spider droid, 1-H Repulsar Tank, and MZ-8 Pulse Tank
4 Infantry types: Stormtroopers, Black Hole Troopers, and Dark Troopers phase 2 and 3
If you want you can even throw in a few heroes to make your faction fun and unique. I cant wait to see what some of you guy's factions are like. Remember this is not limited to Imperial you can be a pirate, Hapan, or even Ssi-Ruuk if you want doesn't matter as long as its in the Star Wars Galaxy. Have fun with this

« on: September 06, 2016, 03:54:26 PM »

Hey I had a noticed in the Sins mod that you guys had included the Torpedo Sphere. Does this mean their is a chance we might see it in 2.2 for ICW? Or is it going to be a Sins exclusive unit?

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Space ARC Star Cruiser for the Maldrood

« on: September 06, 2016, 11:10:29 AM »

I had a suggestion for a unit for the Maldrood. Its the Space ARC Cruiser.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Space_ARC_Star_Cruiser
Its a 1km long battleship mostly used by the Galderian Space pirates, but some others were also used by the Rebel Alliance. It is supposed to be capable of going toe to toe with ISD MK1s and MC80 Liberty cruisers despite being much smaller than both. I remember Corey mentioning that the Maldrood would have some Pirate units in their roster since they had contact with a lot of pirates. So this is the perfect ship for them since its one of the few larger pirate ships that could make a difference in combat against more advanced NR and IR ships. Let me know what you guys think of this beast.

Star Wars Discussion / Megador and Dominion

« on: March 02, 2016, 08:13:15 PM »

Hello all I just wanted to get some ideas from everyone on the SSD Megador and the SSD Dominion. What do you guys think they were? what did they look like? I love SSDs so the idea of 2 that I cant get a picture of in my head is driving me nuts. Here is what I can infer myself.
1. Both combined are large enough and have enough firepower to push back an Executor class SSD as evident in the battle of Anx Minor when these two ships managed to beat back the SSD Guardian until Ackbar destroyed the Experimental weapons testbed EF-X causing it to detonate and blow up 6 ISDs and damage Megador.
2. Dominion for some reason seems to lack a hangar as evident when it was destroyed by a mass kamikaze Starfighter attack with ease.
3. Megador has a special command bridge that allows its commanders to get a better 360 degree view of fleet maneuvers implying its bridge is not the standard Kuat drive yards T tower bridge which has a rear blindspot.
That's all I can manage hopefully someone else can help me figure out a little bit more about these ships.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Eye Of Palpatine

« on: February 21, 2016, 10:09:15 PM »

I had a really interesting idea for a unique Era 5 ship for the IR. The Eye of Palpatine was a massive 19km spherical dreadnaught that was built into the shell of an asteroid. It was intended to be used to exterminate a hidden group out Jedi, but it was sabotaged on its way and ended up lost in space for some time. It was however later reactivated in an attempt to gain more power for the IR. It was however destroyed before it could meet up with the IR fleet. It was very well armed with tons of special heavy turbolasers and could carry a ton of Starfighters of various types. It could be put into Era 5 as a unique ship for the IR and would be acquired in a similar manner to the Knight Hammer. Capture a particular planet and the Eye will be added to your fleet. It would give the IR a little trump card since they are on the ropes in Era 5. but it would be a one of a kind ship forcing you to use it wisely against the NR's masses of Starfighters which can overwhelm a lone ship if it is lacking in support. Basically it would be a more well armed Executor class with a larger Starfighter complement, but weaker shields due to it being an older design. It is a cool ship so it was worth a shot suggesting it.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Torpedo Sphere

« on: February 15, 2016, 02:43:31 PM »

I just wanted to suggest the addition of the Torpedo Sphere to this mod. I think It would be a perfect unit to provide the overwhelming firepower that Delvardus favored. Since the Warlords are not really going to get any really large ships it makes sense that they could get something small that still packs a very large punch. Admittadly this ship was designed to only attack planets, but it has shown that it is so capable in the ship vs ship role that it could even face down an SSD as Admiral Pitta demonstrated. This ship was 1900m and carried 500 proton torpedo launchers in addition to 10 heavy turbolaser batteries. It really had limited hanger space however and while it could possibly carry some fighters it more often carried ground assault shuttles. It was very well shielded and all the firepower was concentrated at the front making the rear and sides a blindspot. I think that since the warlords are looking for anything they can find using the potent Torpedo Sphere would not be out of the question. This is just my two cents. if it happens I will play the crap out of this ship but if not then oh well. I just think that giving the warlords some diverse units will make them seem like they really were, men who were desperate to build a better army than their rivals. As such this ship would allow them to challenge even the larger factions with their SSDs without putting to much of a strain on their wallets since it is only slightly bigger than a ISD 2.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Ships for the Warlords

« on: February 13, 2016, 12:46:16 AM »

I am a huge starship fan so I wanted to wrack brain for some ship suggestions for the warlords. Here is the list I have compiled so far feel free to add some more if you want.

Torpedo sphere
a ship inspired by the Deathstar. it is well armed with tons of proton torpedo tubes and atleast 10 heavy turbolaser batteries. its size is a maximum of 3km as far as I can estimate, but the more common ones are 1.9km

Eye Of Palpatine
a monstrous 19km dreadnaught built into a asteroid's shell to disguise it. It is extremely well armed and can carry huge amounts of fighters.

Vengeance class Star dreadnaught
a massive 19km long ship that is the production variant of Jerec's flagship Vengeance. its capabilities are similar to the Executor class.

Assertor class Star dreadnaught
a massive 15km long starship that is covered in guns and could possibly go toe to toe with an Executor class.

Mandator 3 class Star dreadnaught
a 12km long dreadnaught that is capable of engaging a Executor class to a standstill. Even though no pictures of this ship exist since all of the Empire of the Hand ships are made up I will keep my fingers crossed.

Super Class Star Destroyer
a 8km long version of the Executor class that is still well armed, but is more affordable for the resource strapped warlords.

Bakura class star destroyer
a 850m long star destroyer that uses the reactor of the ISD making it far stronger than any other ship of a similar size. It is well armed and features anti fighter laser cannons mixed in with its turbolasers and ion cannons.

Procurator class star destroyer
a 1200m long version of the ISD that has fewer heavy guns, but mounts them all in the centerline giving them a much better firing arc.

Recusent class light destroyer
a well armed but weakly armored 1187m long ship. It served extensively in the clone wars and saw much service afterwords as well in various groups hands.

Namana class light cruiser
a well rounded 400m long light cruiser made for the bakurans

Pursuit class light cruiser
a 500m long crusier that is armed to the teeth and carries a good fighter complement to boot.

Star Galleon class frigate
a somewhat slow but heavily armed 300m long transport/frigate

Shree class cruiser
a well armed 900m ship that carries a large fighter complement. Even though it is a Ssi-Ruuvi ship many were captured after the failed bakuran invasion so it is entirely possible the warlords could have purchased some of these exotic ships to bolster their fleets.

Victory 2 class frigate
a medium sized cruiser that had a long service life from the blockade of Yavin 4 to the Vong war.

Imperial 2 class frigate
a 400 meter long cruiser that is decently armed and carries a decent fighter complement.

Interceptor frigate
a roughly 200 meter long frigate that is well armed and can dominate most corvettes and other light vessels, but struggles against larger ships.

Assasin class Corvette
a drastically uparmed and uparmored version of the classic Correlian Corvette.

Tartan class Corvette
a potent anti fighter corvette that can boost it weapons to destroy whole swarms of fighters or challenge larger ships, but at the expense of shields.

TIE Avenger
A really powerful TIE variant. Unlike most versions this one comes with shields and a hyerdrive. Its well armed with 4 laser cannons and a launcher that can fire many types of warheads. In addition it can also mount a small tractor beam projector.

TIE Phantom
A stealthy TIE variant that mounts a cloaking generator allowing it to mount surprise attacks or flee undetected. It mounts a shield generator and a hyperdrive. it is armed with 5 laser cannons.

let me know what you think of these ships and feel free to drop a few more I didn't get because I love to see new ships .

Missile Boat
a fast Starfighter equipped with shields and a hyperdrive. It is designed to use missiles as its primary armament and as such can pose a threat to even larger capital ships.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Bakura Defense fleet

« on: February 10, 2016, 11:32:45 PM »

This is my first post here. I am new to this mod and I already love it so far. I wanted to make a suggestion for a possible new faction.
The Bakuran Defence Fleet. After the failed Ssi-Ruuvi invasion of Bakura the Bakuran Defense fleet was formed to protect the planet. Also at one point they were allied with the Ssi-Ruuvi albeit it was a trick to get them to lower their guard for a second invasion attempt. So Ssi-Ruuvi forces could be used to bolster the Bakuran forces.
A possible unit list could go like this
Space:
Fighters: Swarm class droid, Tie fighter, Tie Bomber, and V'sett class fighter.
Capital ships: Tartan class patrol cruiser
Carrack class cruiser
Bakura class star destroyer
Namana class light cruiser
Shree Cruiser
Sh'ner carrier
Ground:
Infantry: Ssi-Ruuvi soldiers, P'w'eck troops, Bakuran militia
Vehicles: AT-ST, AT-PT, AT-MT, speeder bike, and AT-AT
They lack any really large ships but the Bakura class star destroyer packs quite a punch and as a bonus most of the ships come with laser cannon batteries making them a bit harder to fighter spam. The Ssi-Ruuvi ships also boast large hangers with tons of the lightly armed swarm class droids capable of being carried. providing excellent fighter cover for your fleet. The Ssi-Ruuvi troops on the ground will function as heavy infantry as their scales are quite tough capable of protecting against light blaster fire. The P'w'ecks could also be a part of the forces providing more mobile support as they are smaller and faster than the Ssi-Ruuvi, but their scales are not as tough. The All Terrain Mountain Transport is a possible addition as a unique unit its a well armed heavy walker with 2 heavy laser cannons and 8 twin blaster cannons mounted on the leg joins. So their can be some unique units for this faction. let me know what you guys think about this idea.
