Star Wars Tides of War MOD Alpha

Star Wars: Tides of War MOD Update

After a mix-up about the release date, the alpha version of the mod was not released on Xmas Day. The new estimate is two to three weeks from now, so here’s a sneak preview of what will be in the Alpha: (please note: this does not represent the final version at all)

Systems: Coruscant, Ralltiir, Kuat, Balmorra, and Corellia. The final version of the mod will contain over 50 systems.

Stations: All will currently be standard FL. The Alpha version of the MOD is mainly designed to test the ships. Eventually we will have some real Star Wars Station models.

Stars: Will have better effects in the final version

Engine Effects: Capital Ship Engine effects won’t be too good in this version, but the final ones will be all original and designed to like Star Wars.

Guns: All Fighter guns are below, and all Capital Ship guns come pre-mounted and can’t be changed, also, most Capital ship guns will look to small, as we are still using FL guns and not our custom ones. (They are being designed at the moment.)

Taim & Bak KX-5 laser cannon (standard)
Borstel RG-6 laser cannon (fast, weaker)
Tenloss TX-12 laser cannon (slow, stronger)

Armek SW-2 ion cannon (standard)
Borstel RK-8 ion cannon (fast, weaker)
Borstel RM-2 ion cannon (slow, stronger)

Taim & Bak H3 laser turret (standard)
CEC AG-2G quad laser turret (fast, power hungry)

Krupx MG-5 concussion missile launcher
Krupx MG-7 proton torpedo launcher

Infocards: There will be no infocards yet, these will be one of the last things added ofthe final version of the MOD.

Heres a list of Factions you can join:

Galactic Empire - Wanna rule the galaxy?

Led by the fearsome Emperor Alexandus, the Galactic Empire is always on the lookout for Fighter Pilots. We also have a couple of Capital Ship places in reserve. (I happen to a Rear Admiral in this faction)

Rebel Alliance - Freedom and justice!

Led by the brave High Admiral Remian, the Rebel Alliance is looking for pilots to combat the powerful Empire.

Black Sun - Go to the other side of the law

The Black Sun is a pirate/mafia organization led by the shadowy Prince Jadean, the largest of its type in the galaxy. They are always looking to make a profit in the Galactic Civil War.

Hutt Syndicate - Wanna be rich?

The family of Hutts, of which there will be eight, are looking for new hutts to fill roles in Ramza the Hutt's organization.

Bounty Hunters - Faction Full, No more Applications accepted.

The following men and their ships will kill anyone for the right price. Contact the Hutt Lord to arrange a bounty:

Gavin Tirane-Toscan
Wally- YT-2400
Shik'Tas- YV-666
Grimm Omens- YT-2000
mdiesel- YT-1300

Civilian Groups: These groups are made up of civilians, and are semi-official factions. They will not get any special ships.

Galactic Spanning Corporation:

Led by President Roland Carr, this is a trading/mining group simply in it for the profit. They are on the lookout for Traders and Escorts.

Disac Pirates:

Led by the self-proclaimed Commodore Zathis, these are a bunch of wild pirates, attacking targets of oppurtunity.

Roughneck Mercenaries:

Ledy ex-Imperial Kobra, this Mercenary Squad will do anything for the right price. Expect high profits from this group.
