I was looking in the Mt_commandbar file to see if there were any icons for ships you hadn't added yet, and I discovered an icon for a Vong coralskipper fighter. Are you planning on doing the Vong eventually?

[Casen]

Legacy of War was planning the Vong...

Would be a massive feat to implement them...their entire system of damage, attack, and defense would work differently.

[anakinskysolo]

Nothing is impossible for PR. Anyway, it would be like version 3.0.

[slornie]

Like Kacen said, the trouble with the Vong is their units would work completely different to anything else in EAW/FoC, or even PR. Add to this there are no detailed spec for any of their units, and cannot be adequately compared with more "conventional" units, so at best they would be almost 100% conjecture. And THEN you have to consider that there are probably no Vong models anywhere in the EAW community for Phoenix to use.

[Casen]

Actually Legacy of War has done some Vong models the Coralskipper and I believe the Warship and the drop ship and possibly more however I do not recall if they textured them.

Otherwise though I agree with slornie's post.

Didn't the z3r0x mod have the Vong in it?

Just to clear something up: I'm not asking PR to put the Vong in the mod. I don't even really WANT them in it. I'm just asking why a file in the mod suggested that the Vong might be in at some point.

They would be super hard to do.

I actually would like to second any sort of motion to add them in a future version. I always did love the NJO series and the whole aspect of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

didn't the complete guide to star wars vehicles and ships, have the yuuzhan in it with complete stats and descriptions, it should be hard to add the ships and canon, just making them work you would be hard.

What?

It does but it does not have complete stats. Most of the descriptions say what type of weapons it had but not how many weapons. Only the Miid Ro'ik has a amount of weapons and it just says it can have up to 60 magma cannons. I think the vong would be way to hard to add to be realistic. Also how would you repersant Vong-forming a planet?

The terraforming part would be difficult. However, about the ships, if you go to Wookiepedia, you'll see that most ships have their specific descriptions and pictures. The real problem would be the dovin basals, and how to represent shields.

I can donate a Vong Dovin Basal(Just make this the interdictor or a type of mobile shield generator, it's about playing with what you've got) and a Vong Warrior complete with Animations to this if Phoenix wants to do Vong. LoW had a firebreather modeled and textured, in addition to having several space ships, course warlords has some more space ships. Would have to ask Foshjedi for LoW's models. But all together it be probably fairly decent.

Vong-Forming? My guess would be you use Corruption from Zann consortium, and make the vong build multiple coral like structures for everything, instead of a singular building give them multiple smaller ones.

For shielding, the dovin basal defense could just be a black-colored shield hit. When the "shield" bar hits the end, that's when the dovin basals become too overtaxed to do more.

Or something.

[Phoenix Rising]

Heh, good spot. Let's just say I've done some testing... nothing more.
