I would prefer this as having only 2 major factions and maybe pirates would be a much simpler approach. I have a Galactic Civil War map that shows regions that are contested and would help with the map design.

I would also agree with this, but it seems that the faction list is already set in stone...?

(One of the biggest mistakes people tend to make when creating mods/computer games is shooting for the moon and falling short/costing too much money/taking too much time.)

KISS - start small and expand when appropriate is always the best approach. As soon as a saw the faction list from Ambushclose I knew they were asking for trouble.

Imperial vs Rebel + pirates/hutts/smugglers etc. is the general layout of the star wars universe with Jedi vs Sith as an overarching conflict providing additional context, and Old Republic vs CIS as an almost additional conflict, and New Republic vs Imps/Ssi-ruuk/Yuuzhan Vong etc. adding more complexity later.

But, as I said, the faction list determines everything else, and the one they have therefore determines how complex the mod has to be, and is probably too much...

imo i just work on imps and The Rebel Scum Alliance for now once they are done then talk more factions

PS i just do not want to see this project die again

Isn't their a render in TC with an orbital ring around Earth? Sounds like a start to me Kuat Drive Yards is the war machine for the Galactic Empire after all.

Also I agree we should step back and take a breather on the Total Conversion and just see what we can accomplish with lets say A Terran Argon replacement mod.

Given the pre-scripted war plots this could tide us over as a simulacrum of the Rebel Scum vs. Galactic Empire. I think using ugly variants and YT-1300/2000's variants for Hutt/Yaki/pirates faction. Maybe some star Vipers to rep the Blacksun as the major pirate faction.

Best of luck on the project... but unless mikhailskatchkov is in on the particular mod being discussed, I think it may be preferable to begin a different thread.

Ender_Xenocide · Post by **Ender_Xenocide** » Thu, 10. Jul 14, 23:29

So what is the current "best version" Star Wars mod (for AP) we collectively have available? I.E. If I wanted to start downloading it now, what should I go for? The one on this thread?

Also, will that mod be compatible with the latest version of the XRM? Or Litcube's Universe? Making the Empire an OP version of the Phanon Corporation would be awesome.

I have installed Star Wars Chronicles 2.0 with Litcubes Universe but the ship balance is off and I'm sure it breaks something if played long enough.
There is and XRM version of Star Wars
I started a new thread pertaining to SW Chronicles 2.0

Thanks. When you say "There is and XRM version of Star Wars", do you mean someone made some (other) mod that is compatible with the XRM, but this one isn't?

I have used this mod with XRM and it works but the XRM weapons are not something I care to have in the project as I am looking for more Star Wars authenticity than endless beam battles.

This is the mod I was referring to originally it's not finished but has many Star Wars ships in it for XRM

some notes:
I am not making a total conversion but integrating the star wars universe into X3 universe, however i am replacing some x3 ship variants with SW ships.

after im done with ships im gonna work on some planet surfacesю

PS

I'm replacing OTAS with Alliance (not New Republic as Argon are sort of the New Republic)

Any suggestions on who to replace with the Imperial Remnant ?

Amazing work. I have been on the hunt for a Star Wars total conversion mod for a while now, all I can find is "vapor", cancelled/ dead projects, etc.

Otherwise it's either German and I have no idea what the features are / how to install, or it's simply dead links and 2009-ish old posts.

I was thrilled to land on this one as the ships seem awesome, also I'm glad to see the creator posted recently. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see how this turns out !

Hello!

CaptainShack here with the YouTube Channel TheXpGamers. I've been keeping an eye on this thread, as well as general modding for X3:AP Hoping someone would take on the task of adding Star Wars Factions to the title. Your progress is looking great! I'm looking forward to seeing a release version.

mikhailskatchkov · Post by **mikhailskatchkov** » Sun, 21. Dec 14, 22:51

Looking forward to have a small test version soon. There are really nice ship models

So is the mod dead?

Alex Corvis · Post by **Alex Corvis** » Fri, 6. Mar 15, 18:10

Just for the case that this project is not dead yet:
@mikhailskatchkov
Have you ever considered using the ships from Jorkin Shipyard (a russian xsp website, as far as I remember)? They had the most beautiful and detailed Star Wars (and others) starships I have seen so far. Unfortunately the page went offline quite some time ago, but the page's been archived. And I still have my own copy of the complete ship package.
