The Empire now has an
Imperial-class Star Destroyer model worthy of its name. With 157 unique firing bones and weapons to match, the ship is an awesome symbol of Imperial might. The main battery of six heavy dual turbolasers and two heavy dual turboions is capable of harassing enemy ships from range, while 120 light tubolasers and ions protect the flanks. Four Gemon-4 secondary engines allow the star destroyer to quickly accelerate to overrun enemies and, like a true warship, all power output can be diverted to weapons systems on command. In the screenshot below, the two new star destroyers, the
Imperial-class and the
Republic-class, face off head to head:
In addition to the new model for the
Imperial-class, all of the models in
Phoenix Rising have received an extensive overhaul. I'm sure some of you noticed how some of the ships were either too smooth, too bumpy, too glossy, not glossy at all, lacked ability particles, or had improper engine glows. All of these issues have been fixed. You can see for yourself on the
Screenshots page where I have uploaded a massive amount of new images, 30 in all.
We are still on schedule for a release. Stay tuned for the next news post in which I will provide more details!
