Here's the new version: download

A few ships don't have systems yet - I'm planning on making some Star Wars themed ones for them to use. The weapon grouping for most of the variants is extremely messed up right now, and I still need to take a closer look at the wings.

The next update after that should bring full campaign integration.

Edit: fixed broken sim refit battles.

Full changelog:

This mod was originally created by washout. The old thread can be found here.

I haven't tried this yet, so maybe it's suitable, but don't go too nuts with built-in. A lot of the fun in this game is the customization.

Good luck with the Ship Systems.

I really like the "Tie Fighter" ship systems. It really helps capture that feeling of fighters coming from all over the place.

[Swor]

I'm really excited about playing this in the campaign, is there any way to get these ships to appear in the campaign?

[bluntfang]

The ships appear, there just isn't a way to get them other than combat.

The ships in general are not that powerful, they have huge crew sizes, use tons of supplies, the weapons are wildly innaccurate (they tend to build up flux quickly as well, they often peak out after 3 or 4 volleys are are vulnerable to overload).  I am not too concerned on that point.

It would be great if the rebels and the empire would fight each other..."hint, hint". 

I really do appreciate you taking this on. It has been fun to play with them.

[Tyrant]

Mod dead?

[bluntfang]

It is playable, but not integrated.

[wolfsruhm]

just m2c but i think fortress shields would fit the Mon-Cals much better then HEF, since they are known for heavy shields fluff-wise

[ArkAngel]

Gasp a starwars mod?? My childhood beckons I must play

[ArkAngel]

Is this still being updated or is it dead while you work on other projects?

It's dead. Anyone is free to take over work on this mod.

[ShadowFox]

If anyone has partial work on this mod that was never released can you forward it to me? I have started working on this mod with a vengeance. Im a die-hard star wars fan, and I am making two versions of this mod. One will have fewer weapons mounted to the ships, as they are currently, balanced for vanilla play.

The second version will be a far more intensive process, as all ships I will use will have the EXACT number of weapons they carry as per lore. This will result in MASSIVE numbers of projectiles and bolts flying around the screen, so it will be recommended for higher-end computers. My system is a dual-core 2.2 GHz with 4GB DDR ram and only a 512MB PCI-E card on a 1.0 bus. An imperial star destroyer with full weapons fighting alone just barely lags my screen in a 1024x768 window. Thats 135 individual guns putting out 2-4 shots every few seconds. Its beautiful to watch but game play may be tricky on older systems like my own.

I will continue to post updates here or start a new thread if that makes more sense. Kinda new to the whole forum concept.

Thanks and I look forward to presenting my work to you all.

While you are at it, maybe in the Lore version, we could use proper scaling.

The ship sizes are way off. But I'm not sure how the game engine will handle it.
The TIEs might have to be shrinked more, so the biggest ships won't be absurdly increased.

Take the Interdictor SD. It should have 1600 meters, which would be 1600 pixels according to Sproginator's chart.
The TIE fighter has 6.4 meters, so only 7 pixels for them. They are gonna look like pixie dust.
And if you decide to add the Super Star Destroyers, they could go up to 19000 pixels.

Now if you don't shrink the TIE which is currently at 32 pixels, the Interdictor would need to be ~ 7300 pixels.
It's now currently 450, so we need to increase it by 16 times.

Well, if you need help, I can spare some. I'm really good at coding, but not that much at drawing art.
I had some models in 3d, which could be used to render a top down version of the ship.
But I suck at drawing detail in it.

Here's a video that I had created for a mod for another game:


I just had time to prepare the video, but didn't do the audio.

you dont have to be 110% accurate to sprogginator's chart you know, its only a helper.
and even in vanilla ships arent completly to scale. talons would probably be MUCH smaller than they are now

[ShadowFox]

TIEs will be shrunk some, with the idea that if you zoom in all the way you can see they are a TIE. otherwise they WILL be little more than small specks shooting tiny little green shots. Also, anyone have a clue how the color codes work in this game? im trying to modify a projectile color and cant understand why there are FOUR values. last i checked decimal color codes have 3. any insight would be great. Trying to make blue turbo-laser shots for the Venator.
