Slornie and I have been discussing 4 unique ships for the Maldrood, 3 of which may severely piss off some people.

Gentlemen you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

tlmiller · « **Reply #164 on:** July 27, 2015, 07:43:47 PM »

Yeah, I am curious as to what ships that fit the Maldroods style haven't been used.

Sorry to interject here, but while there is discussion of adding other factions/units, are there any plans to add the Hapes Consortium as a faction? They had more unique tech than the Yevetha, which made it into a playable faction. Or perhaps add Hapan tech as buildable to the NR in some scenarios?

Pentastar Enforcer · « **Reply #168 on:** July 29, 2015, 12:20:19 AM »

Idk I think after all this fancy stuff is done for 2.2 there should be a 3-4 aby scripted scenario about the fall of the emperor or something cool like that.

Wouldn't fit the time period of the mod. I think this has been proposed before but was dismissed for various, but legitimate reasons as i recall...

The Hapans have only the Nova and Battle Dragon as well as two Fighters that are unique to them so they are barely more diverse than the Yevetha and the Yevetha were included due to the Black Fleet Crisis scenario as a small GC for those who wanted a small easy one over a massive one.

While the Hapans do have more unique tech (Star Home, Battle Dragon, Nova Cruiser and 2x Miy'til - plus a corvette and fighter without design which we haven't used) they also don't really have any crossovers with other factions to broaden out their unit roster (particularly ground). Whereas although the Yevetha only have two unique units (Thrustship and D-type fighter) their back-story lends itself to widespread use of Imperial tech which we have used to fill out their build options.

Hapan tech is accessible to the player in at least one of the Zsinj campaigns where we have amalgamated the Hapan, New Republic and Imperial forces against Zsinj, and they should also be available to all factions from one of the capturables in space skirmish (merchant dock?).

Nowhere. Not in the current released version of ICW.

A GCW pre-Endor GC would require significantly different content from the rest of the mod considering; it would essentially be like making a whole different mod. It's a completely different time period. Also, doing any significant amount of scripting to make a scripted GC would take a massivew amount of time, for the limited amount you could actually do in EaW. The Katana Fleet mission, for example, took over 3 months.

Allegiance is 2.2, not 2.1

Fair enough lol. I think the Hapans could become a minor sort of faction, make them custom basic infantry like how the raptor troops were made or something.

They are a minor nonplayable faction in a few GC's. Just not playable.

But you can get a hold of Hapan units if you take Hapes or play as NR in Into the Cluster

Why not make the hapan units exclusive to build on hapes for new republic solving the problems

I always liked the thought of just having the Hapans as a 1 planet minor faction, well defended with custom units and maybe like some T2B tanks or basic rebel vehicles or something with custom Hapan infantry. Then like with the PA and its Lucrehulks, allow the NR or the controller of the planet to construct battle dragons and such there.
