ETA-2 Actis (Vanilla, 6 Paint Schemes)

Description
Mod.io version is available here.[mod.io]

"Flying is for droids..."

History

A shiny replacement for the aging Delta 7's, ETA-2 symbolizes the new era of interceptors with cannons so powerful, they need S-Foils to drop off excess heat. Serving with both Jedi Order and some non-Force sensitive pilots of the Republic, Actis performed well and deserved it's place in the hearts of many pilots. When Galactic Empire Ver. 2.0 replaced the Republic, ETA-2's stayed in service for some time, but not for long, being ultimately replaced by V-Wings. However, despite their short career, these Jedi interceptors did serve as a massive inspiration for the future TIE-line of fighters, utilizing very similar canopies, engines, and radiator panels.

Pros: presentable armament, pressurized cockpit.
Cons: awful range, garbage maneuverability. Hey, at least it's pressurized now!

Additional Notes:
  • This is not a fighter per say, but rather a collection of different ETA-2's that we saw in Episode III / TCW, so grid itself is just a station that holds all of these interceptors.
  • Even though I was able to fix pressurization, this thing still suffers from non-existent maneuverability and very weak lifting strength. Wouldn't be my first pic for an SE fighter but hey - who am I to stop you.
  • Also, because it doesn't have any fuel tanks on the main grid, it always shows 0% hydrogen on board. To give at least some indicator, I placed LCDs on each wing to show Energy and Hydrogen script.



SPECIAL THANKS:



In SE, this is literally a flying egg with fuel tank-wings. Don't even try to change my mind.

I don't know Alec, I don't know how it got 2K subs.

Frankly, I am more surprised that people actually enjoyed it that much. Like, holy crap, how did this get 2k subscribers.

I am surprised that the community has gone so far as to create hero starfighters.

@Ahsoka Tano yea, and a lot of those mods break the art style of the game. Again, times have changed and now game is, at the very least, playable in vanilla.
Ahsoka Tano 21 Aug, 2023 @ 12:53am 
hell, 2 to 3 I can easily deal with, especially if this means more lore accurate hanger doors on top, or shields (though we can add those ourselves really), what I can't stand is a ton of modded blocks, windows, inside stuff, conveyors, etc that adds up so fast, heck, I can even put up with modded weapons (though these days we hardly need em lol)

@Ahsoka Tano yeah, I am certainly guilty of doing that myself a couple of years ago. And to be fair, game did improve a lot, so many of the things that we used to use mods for are now possible in vanilla. At worst, expect 2~3 mods, but I will try to minimize it to just 1.
Ahsoka Tano 20 Aug, 2023 @ 10:28pm 
hey, way I see it, if the mods are needed to make it work, I can handle that. I just don't like the ones with like 90 mods or what have you, cause those just lag like hell

@Ahsoka Tano well, mostly vanilla. I will use mods / DLC if I find them necessary to achieve the desired result. As to the ships listed: Acclamator is already in works, but Separatist ships are currently under consideration. Even if I do decide to make them - designing the hull, designing the interior and making them functional will take a long time.
Ahsoka Tano 20 Aug, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
wait, so is that venator vanilla as well, and are you intending on tackling the larger ships like the munificent, recuscant, providence, acclamator, etc?
