I just tried playing the Orinda campaign, and I noticed the Imperial costs just as much as in vanilla, putting it as less expensive than a Venator, is this intentional or a mistake/bug?

I'm glad you're enjoying it :). And yes, this will probably be updated for 2.2. However, don't expect too many new things as it's been almost two years since I did any modding for ICW. In this regard, the Thrawn's Revenge modding team has done well in picking up the baton focusing on the Warlords, Post-Endor timeline and adding more heroes. All things this submod would have added had I continued further with this submod back in 2014.

Intentional. Unlike the Pentastar Venator that relies on TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, V-Wings and Torrents, the Imp Venator carries far more deadly A9s, TIE Ints and TIE Bombers. The cost of ships is scaled according to their firepower, pop cost and health plus the cost of fighter complement with the cost of reserve fighter squadrons scaled down. Unlike in vanilla ICW, the Venator has capital grade shields instead of frigate shields and both TIE Ints and A9s rank among the second highest cost tier for fighters.

sorry, there has been so much conversation on here, and I don't have the sub-mod. what all does this submod change from 2.1, and what do you want to have for 2.2. sorry, I'm new around here
do you know what really makes me mad? that the NR didn't make as many different SSDs as the empire. they would have won much faster had they done so. it's just not fair. but, if their were more NR SSDs, they would be absolute SUPER-CARRIERS.

but, i'm a member of the PA at heart, and my wish here is to join the ranks of grand admirals... sorry, the elite imperial alignment

I can't speak for the 2.2 plans but for 2.15 it mostly overhauls the Pentastar Alignment, but it also adds things to the New Republic like the MC80a wingless and the Republic-Class Star Destroyer. It also adds the Greater Maldrood as a playable faction in certain GCs. Pentastar additions include but are not limited to : new heroes, Carracks and Tartan Cruisers on certain planets, strike cruisers on certain planets, goodies on Kuat, goodies on Coruscant, goodies in Zsinj's territory, and a lifetime build cap of 24 on all Clone Wars era ships (not including the Imperator or the Victory I).

oh, ok. can't wait to see what this mod will do once 2.2 comes out and Vulcanus can start modding again.

Can someone explain this to me right now, it might be because I'm extremely tired but here's the question. So is the download that is linked on the first page the most up to date version? Because when I try to go and download the files down the forum it says its not available.

so, it is probably already asked and answered, but will you keep working on this after 2.2 comes out? or will this stay at 2.15? because i enjoy your infinties GCs for the game

There are already a host of things the sub mod has planned after 2.2 but I mustn't spoil anything, let's just say heroes, units and some interesting possibilities may or may not be opening up in a sub mod near future..

thanks. but at the moment between work and the normal modding for the team I'm not sure I would have the time.
But I'm happy to help in consulting/brainstorming if you wish.
I am also working on a new mechanic which the team might refuse in the end, that might go to you then.
