Star Wars Ships & Status of SW Mod

[El_Phil]

I'd go for a small one, a middle sized one, a big one and a huge giant one. Thus covering the range of star destroyers in as much detail as is needed.

Ohhh and a special component: 'Hick farm boy' that can kill death stars in one shot.

Intimidator, I sent you the SW Mod stuff I had yesterday. Here are some reference links I've used:

SW Galactic Databank: http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/
SW Technical Commentaries: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/
SW Ships & Vehicles: http://frankg.dgne.com/swsv/index.shtml
Nick's Ultimate SW Page: http://www.geocities.com/poser_502/
Galactic HoloNet: http://www.galacticholonet.com/
Wikipedia SW Lists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Star_Wars_lists

The Wikipedia and the Galactic Databank are the most detailed.

YOu all must keep in mind that SEIV does not lend itself well to ship size scales. So all of the ships used will appear to be of the same size visually. That is just the nature of the game.

Are you going to put in a AI, or is this for player vs player only? /crosses his geeky fingers.

Hey, i need to do a small hijack to this thread: Please reply to the mails about STM mod game.

Ahoy, I’m still quite new to SE4 and still learning the game mechanics. I’ve wondered too why this pretty game still has no decent SW mod available.
Next the hero-facilities, there could be maybe a more flexible method for implementing heroes of the saga to the game:

Create special hero-starships with unique unaffordable hero-components and let the player start every game with them.

Compared to hero-facilities, players could decide in which sector/system they are going to park their heroes with different abilities like economic and tactical bonuses which affect one sector, the whole system, or the entire empire.
To prevent hero-ships attacked by ordinary forces you could give them the same cloaking ability like the civilian starships of the Pirates&Nomad and Adamant mod which would be only detectable by other hero-ships’ scanners.
To make things more interesting, hero-ships could be captured by the enemy to force them providing their bonuses to the enemy side.

Here are some examples of hero-ships:

Rebels
- Mon Mothma and Admiral Ackbar flying on the Mon Calamari star cruiser Home One presenting the mobile Rebel headquarters which provides bonuses in all categories (happiness, production, ship/fleet training, etc.) in the sector/system
- Luke (with R2) on his X-Wing with superior combat ability and combat modifier bonus for the entire system.
- Han, Leia, Chewie and 3P0 on the Millenium Falcon with diplomatic (happiness) bonus for the current sector/system
- Lando Calrissian on his Lucky Lady space-yacht with superior economic bonuses for the sector/system
- General Madine on a Nebulon-B frigate providing intelligence points per turn, superior ship boarding, scanner, and mine-laying/-sweeping capability - acting as the Rebel hero-ship hunter

Imperials
- Emperor Palpatine on his Imperial shuttle providing bonuses in all categories to the sector/system
- Darth Vader with Admiral Piett and General Viers on the slow-moving SDD Executor with bonuses to combat and economy but moral penalty by oppressive force in the sector/system
- Boba Fett on his Slave I with superior combat power inclusive ship boarding, long-range scanning, and intelligence points generating - acting as the Imperial hero-ship hunter
