Imperial Unit Suggestions for Future Versions

[Darth Stalin]

Yep, as he once wrote, he made his mod "as he himself would like to play", i.e. with lots of stuff not always very "canonica" (but often very "fanonical" anyway) - like the "mirrored" (i.e. with bridge up and down the hull, being a "twin" one...) ship used in a fan-made movie about "stormtroopers bringing peace to the Galaxy" (IIRC "the unit" or sth similar...?).
It's nice but sometimes my fleets in Alliance get packed with all that new stuff beyond any recognition, as I like to build all heavy ships I can - thus I finish with some ~20 SSDs of various classes...

You're thinking of I.M.P.S The Relentless.

Yep, that's right:

Just got done listening to my old cassette tapes of the Dark Empire radio type performance or whatever it was.  Well basically a book on tape type of thing.  Anyways, in Dark Empire II when they're attacking Balmora there was this big deal about the Empire's new star fighter, the Shadow Droid.  The Empire doesn't have much in the means of capable star fighters that can act on their own besides the tie defender until the Pellaeon era.  Otherwise standard tie fighters are only good for those instances when the New Republic and Empire of the Hand don't include significant numbers of star fighters in there fleets.  Maybe the Shadow Droid as an exclusive to the Reborn Palpatine era would be useful.

Already planned, actually.

I've never been a big fan of the Dark Empire graphic novels but I did like some of the units like the Shadow Droids, they seem deliciously diabolical and the Empire could indeed do well with some of those cyborg nightmares. I look forward to getting my hands on them.

Just had an idea about a possible Imperial unit. In FOC, the producers were originally planning to have buildable shuttles that could latch onto and steal enemy ships. Why not do that with the Empire, but instead of shuttles, make it the mole miners that Thrawn used in Heir to the Empire?

You can't do it without it being either overpowered or useless.

Yes Senza is right. It's even been brought up in a few other posts I think. It would a be a very interesting aspect added to gameplay if it was feasible, but sadly it is not.

[Revanchist]

Guess I never really thought of that. What about spacetroopers, though? They could be like fighters, but with proton torpedo launchers as well as laser cannons.

has anyobyd suggested the Turbulent-class Star Destroyer (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Turbulent-class_Star_Destroyer)?

[Corey]

Yes, it has been suggested, however:

built by the Imperial Remnant following the Swarm War.

The mod goes from 6ABY to 19ABY with allowances for technology up to the start of the Vong War (25ABY). The Swarm War took place in 36ABY.
