The Hoplites of Corinth
Keywords: titans, greek gods, corinth, hoplites,
yellow, gold, protectors & guardians.
The Hoplites' theme is based on the concept that was used by Ancient Greek city-states. These City-states employed citizen-soldiers as defence, which I have transfered to the future theme. This faction is the guardians of the trading & mining planet, apropriately named Corinth. The planet is under constant threat of being annexed by the other increasingly more powerful fractions. Hence the need for a citizen militia capable of protecting what is rightfully theirs.
I have not quite settled on the name and a few other things, but it will be something along the line of "The Corinthian Hoplites" or "The Hoplites of Corinth".
For now I have only been frankensteining & modifying a few ships, both as an experiment with the theme, but also to get comfortable with the artstyle of pixels. I have dabbled a tiny bit with the coding, and I am confident that with time i will reach my goals.
Current features:- 1 Wing of Fighters
- 2 Frigates
- 1 Destroyer
- 1 Carrier Cruiser
- 1 Light Capital Ship
- 2 missions
Ships:Fighter Wing,
"Dory" Class
First Frigate,
"Marpesia" Class
Second Frigate,
"Machai" Class
Destroyer,
"Cratus" Class
Cruiser Carrier,
"Soteria" Class
Light Battlecruiser (capital),
Heracles Class
The ships will likely be named after greek mythology, gods, heroes, titans etc.Features I hope to implement (evergrowing list):- More ships: Bomberwing, another frigate, another destroyer, another cruiser
- Balance ships
- Campaign support - add The Conrinthian Hoplites as a new fraction.
- Custom weapons - missiles in particular.
- Elaborate on background story for the faction and reasons for their presence (According to available Starfarer lore).
I know it seems ambitious, but I like to keep my goals handy.
--------------------------------------------
0.2alfa It includes four ships, and a testing mission. The mission is basically the four ships facing a similar fleet of original ships.
0.3alfa Added:
- A wing of fighters - Dory class
- A missile weapon for the fighters(in effect, 5 swarmer missiles that fire one missile at a time).
- A carrier cruiser - Soteria Class
- A new test mission, where you can try fighting versus the Hoplite faction (inverted mission).
- Slight tweaks of various ship loadouts.
- A LOT of fiddling with missile placement.
--------------------------------------------
General Notes:I advise you to change the option under gameplay, so that you take 100% damage instead of 50%.
All of the ships still need balancing, so I will be handing out over 9000 internet points to those who provide feedback
Feedback, praise and criticism are always welcome, so let me know what you think
