Another advantage to untargettable hardpoints is that significant evidence in Star Wars canon shows that armour is virtually worthless against enemy weapon fire, IE. your shields are pretty much your only defense, and while shields are up, your hardpoints are protected. (This in particular may be a source for some debate, as apparently localised deflector shield burns-thru are possible, like when the Super Star Destroyer lost its "bridge deflector shields".)

That link will take you to a set of four pictures, showing the destruction of a Imperial Star Destroyer, as seen thru the window of the Home One during the Battle of Endor (RotJ). As you can see, it was perfectly healthy (except for its deflector shields presumably being down), until a single Mon Calamari laser bolt shattered the poor thing.

Yeah but its implied to be the same ship right? I hope it is anyway, cause it looks alot better.

Didn't The Clone Wars show retcon this ship into being much less hideously ugly?
I would use that design.

Nice model though.

No, it's that plasma is essentially like a gas, in that it wants to equalise it's internal pressure with the external pressure, meaning it would expand almost instantly into a diffuse cloud of nothingness.

The heat wouldn't bleed off very fast, because there's nothing to conduct the heat away. Things would actually stay hot for hours or days, slowly giving it off in the form of radiation.

Awesome.

Plasma weapons can't function in space. Maybe they could be particle beams?

Real cool-looking game though, there are very few games that give a realistic interpretation of space combat. :D

Alright, we got approved! :D

Hey that's the frigate from Battlefront 2. Awesome!

Those naval battles look really interesting.

I love tanks :D

How does it fly? Also that other one is awesome.

I never played Command and Conquer 3, so I don't got a basis for comparison, but this does look really good.

Is that a bit of the Rogue Leader theme at the end?

I really like this one.

Oh ok, although I know almost nothing about aerodynamics >_<

Oh I see. Cool.

Hey this mod looks amazing, some of those models are really sexy. I'm sad I was born too late to really appreciate all the space games like Freelancer D:

But yeah I can't wait for this mod's release.

Cool. :D

This is my favourite military plane. Besides the Predator and Reaper drones.

Really nice model, but when would this ship have been used after the Clone Wars?

What are those curved sections for?

The fragile structure is good, but you might want to make the whole thing a bit more radial, and the front end should be shaped more like a cone, for maximum protection against space debris. Also the engine section should be smaller, and again alot more radial, and possibly it has a few too many engines, ships are considered "faster" (with a higher delta-v) if they have a higher mass to propellant ratio, not with more/more powerful engines. But this is a great start, one of the more realistic designs I've seen.
