Yea the plan is to finish these guys then scout troopers. After that I'll be onto special forces. First up will be the SpecForce Infiltrators then Storm Commandos.

Essentially so far I have SecForce and the Imperial Army setup in 3 platoon types. Scout, Line and Weapons. SpecForce and Stormtroopers will have the same 3 types as well. There's a few differences in weapons/bikes used. SecForce and Imperial Army will be able to be recruited anywhere, while the "elite" infantry platoons won't be. Special Forces will be a miniature version of all 3 types. So they'll be great to have as a supporting platoon, but will be completely out matched against regular infantry.

Yes there's a new backpack and weapon as well. Technically the head is "new", as its from the fleet trooper, since the one on the default forest infantry was pretty irredeemable. Yea I figured out really quick that the helmet, weapon and any big accessories can really upgrade the vanilla units. Saves performance and creates a consistent style. Also with how many units I want to do it allows me to slowly upgrade them all.

I do have some other combinations, such as different backpack variants for Sergeants and the First Sergeant of platoons. But I was referring to species variants and urban/desert/winter variants. Though some of those variants will have a lot more changed than others.

Trying to remember the exact WEG book its from. But this is the model from SWG that was based on it.

Looks great. I've never seen that design but it fits in well.

Thanks Sly! It's good to be back. You need to start posting your work again. Makes it easier than following the streams to see what new units you've finished lol.

I'm actually basing the look of SecForce on fleet troopers. The idea for this came from early RPG sources (West End Games) and the movies. The early RPG sources describe that the Alliance may be tough on resources, but they're very much a standing army and at the very least can provide an almost standard uniform. Secondly, in the movies the only time that regular Alliance soldiers are seen is at the base in Yavin IV and aboard the Tantive IV. Both the troops at Hoth and Endor are both SpecForce.

Ah yes the Crusader pistol from SWG. Its a bit lighter and more turquise ingame, but it looks a lot like it. Great job, love your heroes you do.

I'd say keep it the same size Doci. They were all on the same chasis and had the same length. The lights are actually bigger on the 1-L by design. Beautiful work.

Really like the detail on the legs. and the little hairs you have along the body. Do you have any concept art for these? The designs are very different.

This is the stuff of nightmares. You should take a picture of the poster when you get it up. Looks great :P

I like the Eriadu Authority one a lot. Imperial Warlords needs swords that fit with Star Wars more. Crimson Empire should be crimson. Good to see all these factions getting more exposure.

Or like the Vong you appear randomly from the Unknown Regions :) Great to see you back!

Motti is in there. Guess I was just tired at the time.

Nice icon pack. Will definitely consider using some of these. You're missing a few Imperial officers, such as Lennox, Jerjerrod, Ozzel, Tagge, and Motti to name a few. This selection is already pretty comprehensive though.

Inb4 Nebulon C frigate or Nebulon E frigate.

But the reason why the whole ship was red because it was made with another alloy that was that color. Admiral Kendel was desperate to complete an order of VSD's and decided to try a different alloy for the hull. The result was a red ship, needless to say the Imperial high command and crewmen weren't happy about the change of color.

All those blast marks and scratches are really going to hurt the resale value.

I don't know whats worse. When you're the modder who's working on the project and knows this, or when you're the fan who's following it.

I never thought I would be so excited over flora... Great job. Loving the additional styles of trees and looking forward to seeing future updates for these.

This is very good. I do like the layout and really like the idea of the CSA and Hutt space being represented. I also like that some factional alignments for planets were changed.

Are there any plans to replace the intersections now that they're becoming less needed? Instead you could perhaps find planets or named stations that fit those locations now.

I'm going to have to rewatch this a few times to see if I can spot any other big differences.

64 hours out of a possible 144 hours. You're still eating and sleeping so you're good.

Two negatives. The one CapnDan already mentioned and if you have all the planets from one system you eliminate some planets that will never be playable. An example of this would be Corellia's system where planets Selonia, Drall, Talus & Tralus could never be playable ground or space maps since you're not going to take Corellia out of a GC for one of them. Though these cases are actually relatively rare.

The polycount reduction seems huge. However, is the polycount even the performance killer for large GCs? Isn't it the fact the AI just likes to move around the planets with hundereds of single stacks of units? If the planet polycount reduction increases performance than this is quite a good upgrade.

Look forward to seeing updates on this.

Porting content from games really depends on what the game company, publisher, or owner of the IP policy is. I'd imagine Halo's is pretty restrictive and wouldn't allow porting of their content, but I could be wrong.

Thats one unit that I actually didn't know about. Funny I can spot a random dungeon ship from like an old RPG supplement, yet this one completely slipped my mind. After looking at the pictures of it from Galactic Battlegrounds I think you did a great job of keeping its design and giving it a more realistic and proportionate look. I like the CR-75 designation and the backstory it fits in perfectly.

No problem, I'm very into the weird little details and after the other comment didn't offer an explanation I thought I would chime in to help until they responded. I could tell after looking at the base game's CR-90 bridge portion, but wasn't 100% certain so I didn't want to assume. The original models are really a hit or a miss, some of them are really good with only minor proportions being off and others are just way off.

Love the texture work. You made the DP-20 and Maruader look better than I've ever seen before. I love the design of the CR-75, though I can't help but find the irony in light corvette, yet it having a giant gun. Though with how ships are classed it makes sense. The gun reminds me of like a Flak 88 in space with the description you provided of it.

The only thing I guess FreezPopp could be critiquing on the CR-90 is the forward bridge of the ship. In your model its a lot more thin and wide, almost hammerhead like. While in the movie model and other depictions its shorter at the sides and more bulbous (examples linked below). Though all in all this has to be one of my favorite models of the CR-90 yet.

Whats the poly count on this beast? Also are you using substance painter for texturing? Or the old fashioned way? You're churning turrets out pretty quick, keep up the good work :)

I like it, it looks like it could also be used as an emplacement, like the turbolasers in vanilla. Ive actually never seen that turret, got a link to the reference image you used? Good job, can't wait to see how it looks on the Munificent.

Very nice Oberndorf am Neckar a major center for weapons manufacturing. Love details like this.

Texture work is amazing. Looks like it came from a AAA title. Though that soldier who beat this weapon up so bad has some explaining to do :P

Beautiful. These should make a lot of people very happy, and increase the quality of a lot of mods in the process. I hate to be that guy, but are there plans to update the Imperial ship pack?
