Okay, here's one. The infamous Star Destroyer (Or is that too big).

And, maybe the smaller one from rebels that that kid kept saying that something was a star destroyer, but then a star destroyer came and this ship was about 1/5 the size?

Also, the medical frigate, and how about the ship transport from rebals that they use as a temporary base? And, maybe the walker that Rex is on when Ashoka sends them to get him.

And so on.

A Star Destroyer is a concept I have visited in the past. At the time, the game had memory leak issues and just could not handle the size of such a construct especially to scale. Thus I had to scrap that whole project. My Nebulon-B really pushed the boundaries of what the game could tolerate without major performance lag back then.

Even though they have come a long way as far as optimizing the game engine, games like this, minecraft, etc, have limitations to the size and complexity of builds before they turn your computer into a molten blob to hurl at your neighborhood cat. At some point I will be willing to test the limits and see what I can do in terms of a destroyer but it will be no where near scale and it will take quite a while to complete even then.

Also please understand I have a lot of projects I have planned or am working on and they all will take time and patience, ergo I do not really accept requests since creating things with the accuracy and detail I do is a lengthy undertaking (it took a week just to get the AT-ST to walk accurately) and I would never get a project completed if I took all the requests that were submitted. So you are welcome to throw ideas up here, just understand you may never see some of them from me for the above reasons.

In the meantime, might I suggest checking the workshop for those items you have listed. I have seen a few of each in my time playing this game and some are very impressive even by my standards. A friend of mine D3LT4-07 has some amazing walkers on his workshop page.

I am sorry if this dampens your spirits a bit and I am really appreciative of your loyalty and fervor. I promise if you stick around there is plenty more quality builds coming your way.

Okay!

Don't worry. My spirits arne't dampened, I just need to find an obscure ship that no one has thought of... also, can't want!

Also, is it just me, or does his name sound like a stormtrooper designation number?

what about a droideka?
i think it'd be nice.
also they're kinda funny.

@CTH2004
It kinda is, his name is derived from one of the characters from republic commandos

@Xor fo xob
I seem to recall seeing one of those on the workshop a while back too. Check around, may still be on there somewhere.

Also, It is always a good idea to make your own, your way!

maybe a tiny teeny b1 battle droid?
i just love the battle droids!

Sorry I don't know why Steam doesn't alert me to new comments anymore.

CTH:
I have an old Nebulon-B on my workshop page you should check out.

Xor:
All my builds are made with strictly what's available in game. I'm not sure if you are suggesting an NPC mod or building a battledroid walker of some type. I have never attempted a mod myself and if that's what you are requesting, that's not really my field. But I suppose a walker could be viable.

Have you checked that you are subscribed?


And, I think Xor is talking about a walker, and if you can get it small enough, a reactor powered battle droid (The small ones, with the frame, brown, infantry, the B1. I would estimate they are no more than 2 meters, about the size of the player, but you can always make it slightly bigger, just not so much that it's obvious (Going to be 1.5 times as big isn't a major issue)

Yep, box wasn't checked, not sure how that happened. Never used to have to do that anyway.... Probably why I didn't bother to look.

Anyway, creating something that size is impossible without being a modder. Even small blocks wouldn't allow for that scale. The only option in vanilla would be a walker but your'e talking near scale of my AT-ST especially if you wanted it to look and move accurately.

yeah... yeah. Because a walker using remotes that walks like a person, at 1 meter tall, wouldn't work, and if you could get it to work semi-wirlesssly (There are ways to make blocks connect to blocks far away by removing blocks in the bp file), so the motors are much bigger, still would be too much of a Klanger! But, those super-battle droids might be feasible, since they are much wider, and a little taller (Still smaller than your AT-ST, but bigger than a B1). And, also, since it uses a remote, put some cameras, and you couold automate it! MWAHAHAHAHA!
