Lordxorn, I was wondering if we could not implement the "Hutt Empire" http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hutt_Empire
This race would be ideal for a mercantile feeling.  Problem is "maybe" a lack of ships... But in the lore they had a fleet so maybe maybe we can do a work-around and Modify Some freighters to military purpose ? Change some icons on the hulls ectra... basicly i see it more like a ragtagg fleet.

Furthermore, I noticed in my game as the Imperial Forces  "The private sector"  made some frigate's / Cruisers of the alternative shipset.
Maybe we should consider to add alternative shipsets ? ( I know ships sets are hard to get ) but if someone finds stuff can you add this in the mod ?

Sincere regards 2guncohen [:D]

The New Republic is considered part of lore, as the books are sanctioned by George Lucas.

After watching that famous review/critique of Episode I and II (www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKtZmQgxrI), I'm not sure whether to trust Lucas anymore.

However, the ships still look cool lordxorn, I'd be still interested in using them! :)

Couldn't agree more with you Webbco, I don't trust Lucas with anything anymore. However, he didn't write the expanded universe stuff, so it's probably way better than anything he could come up with.

I'll always be grateful to Lucas for creating Star Wars, but I wish he would take a step back and let a talented writer and director take the helm. The prequels will be with us forever, no matter how hard I try to forget them. All I can hope for is that future Star Wars features will bring back the greatness of episodes 4-6. Having said that let's try to avoid stuff like this;-[;)]

Dreadnaught, Bulk Cruiser, Galleon-class Star Frigate, IPV-1 System Patrol Craft, Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser, Marauder-class Corvette, and Modular Task-Force Cruiser would all be good candidates for the alternate shipsets.

LOL that is golden, never knew this stuff existed. I always suspected those Rebels were spaced out versions of hippies, lol.

If anyone wants to put themselves through the agony of watching The Star Wars Holiday Special, I recommend the Rifftrax version which you can find with google. Just remember, this stuff is deeply disturbing and may emotionally scar you for life. If you love Star Wars and the prequels were bad enough, then The Star Wars Holiday Special will probably damage you forever.

The prequels weren't horrible, just really, really cheesy. You definitely didn't miss anything if you skipped them. Although they could have been improved ten fold if Jar-Jar had gotten shot out of an airlock in within the first 10 minutes.

The RedLetterMedia critique of the prequels is spot on and funny. "Proto gonist. email me if you want a pizza roll."

Lucas ruined his chance with the prequels and then went back and mucked up 4-6. I don't care what Lucas says. Han shot first!!!

If Han hadn't shot first, he'd be dead and Greedo would still be well...greedy. hehe

You said you had discovered the Planet Destroyer in one of your games, anyway you can send me a savegame file for that?

The biggest issue for any race besides the Empire is the lack of "Good" top down models. So I just finished this MC80 Mon Cal Cruiser for the Alliance Cruiser Model(Ready for Use in Game). For comparison I will post what the Space Empires Shipyards mod site has available to use, and a model I textured to look somewhat decent. So the Rebels will take some time, of course I invite all web surfers to post links to good quality top down Rebel ships, or other races like the Hutt stuff 2guncohen. [:D]

Updated Mon Cal MC80 with better texture, and added MC80 Home One Type Comments Welcomed

Ill send the save with "the Planet destroyer" If i can still find it .... I had to blow upp the Planet destroyer  in my game ...[:(]
I had issues to protect the stuff... Ill let you know if I still have a save for this. "

Oh  and I Found some good renders for the rebels  [:D]  seems some "fan" of Star Wars uploaded them in a *.rar so that people could use his renders.
I will see if I can open them in my autocad/w3ds-application [&o]*prays to the lord !!!*

But your right its realy hard to get good quality upside down models....

I had some idea about making a New "space station", looking like a "space yard" with mini-SSD's attached to the model.
So that it could look like the Kuat shipyard.  This in a round model


Ow, I have a good rebel picture with a flagg = Just like the imperial picture with the trooper propaganda !!! => This is the picture

some links to goodies:

xwing
Aclamator
needs to rotate the picture but it will work perfectly = this is maybe a good model for a frigate in the Imperial Fleet ?

This should be some very great material !!! Download link to rapidshare for the GSB mod of star wars

Rebel frigate
Other frigate
Manny pictures to an intersting mod for a Empire at war mod

First of all I want to thank everyone on this thread for all of the great ideas, especially 2guncohen with the treasure trove of links that have provided a wealth of good models to work with. As such I have plans for the following races,

Galactic Empire (finished)
More Galactic Empire ships*
Rebel Alliance (Half Done)
New Republic
Hutt
Chiss
Mandolorian
Sith

There are tons of stuff out there to fill out the races of this mod to give it more of a Star Wars feel, in cases where there are no specific Chiss freighter available I will substitute a generic model and recolor it or add some kind of race specific identifier if possible.
