INTRO

 

Hello there!  So yes, another busy week. I've been testing SWS and going back and forth with XWA comparing game mechanics, recovering from a PC failure, trying to get new jobs...and now paperwork. I'm not even sure if I mentioned it but our estemed COM, Phoenix is doing already a good job. I like the communication he's having with us and you can easily  reach to him on Discord. The perfect man for the job.

I can see why people have been so excited about SWS. In a sense, it is and at same time it isn't the sequel to XWA and the classics imho. It is a new game and the relation with the classics is analog to that of the Dark Forces series with The Force Unleashed...they're on same niche but each have thier own mechanics. We need to learn to live with this new platform without forgetting about the classics we loved so much.

There have been a number of interesting news TC-wise and I encourage you to read about them (the links for TC news are posted below).


I've been working hard to organize things here and fighting depression myself to resume writing and mission editing. The release of the new XWAUP patch (whose changes I adapted to our mod) motivates me as much as SWS gameplay does...same as The Mandalorian which is a great story...we just need more material about us, imperials. Anyways, onto the news!

  • As I said, be on comms, be active or say what are you up to if you're on a LoA but let your CMDR know either you're active or you're busy. I'll be chasing ghosts away from the unit following AWOL rules. 
 Your CMDRs' Own Crazy Activities Nobody Was Asking For.
I leave this as a changelog. I'll try to update the mod with the latest reeleases ASAP.

For what I want to do with the XW series, the plan remains, the general outlines of my fiction are done, writing now the detailed story before I start building missions.

After watching SWS Gameplay, I decided we need to include the TIE X1 Prototype as a main fighter oin the mod...thinking on what to replace, possibly the original TIE X1.  Also, the Gladiator needs to be included as well. Still deciding what to permanently replace if anything. Could be swapping the X1 and the X1 Prototype?  Swap the Rand Ecliptic with the Gladiator? Keep in mind the Rand Ecliptic is canon (see Wookiepedia) but unlike legends, its class is never specified (while in legends it is an Imperial II clas frigate), plus the Gladiator is more frequently shown. Yep , I still can't decide.

As for modding, if all works, on XvT we'd be playing the following flight plan:

1) TIE Campaign part I - Battles 1-7

2) Default XvT/BoP missions

3) BoP campaign

4) TIE Campaign II: battles 8-13

5) TC PvE enabled missions and battles.

Note: this would do a fine addition to the EHSP. I mean, enable the use of some of the custom craft the EHSP brings in. Plus, the 60 FPS patch and maybe the laser and bloom effects for XvT, not sure. But, I want to include the TIE campaign into it.This guy, Waylon , created a set of conversions from XW, TIE and XvT into XWA. I could adapt those into this version of XWA meanwhile ...until the TFTC is done. The XvT to XWA is a keeper tho. We could use those campaigns there. I mean, should be interesting to test them on DSUCP.

So there will be a lot of PvE for us to do on XvT/BoP.
For XWA I plan for us the following:

1) Converted TIE Campaign

2) Converted XvT/BoP missions

3) Converted BoP campaign

4) (Possibly, need to talk to Yoda) converted XvT/BoP PvE enabled missions/battles.

5) Storyline about us, the new canon and some events based on RL I wanted to propose on my fiction.

Either way we'd have a lot of PvE activity and I'd like us to try PvP not just with the default craft but also with the custom ones.
Also, whenver you have the time update not just your INPR but consider an article for your character on the wikia.
I'd like very much for us to do this on a weekly basis once it is ready. Possibly friday or saturday, I'd locally record it and post the gameplay to keep a flight record of our deeds as a squadron.
