You wouldn't actually. As I tried to imply in my post, I'm saying that the Super could be made into reality (aka. both the Executor and Super exist) due to a BS financial reason, and that the Titan wouldn't be the Executor/Lusankya. Though of course that does fly in the face of canon, but that's just a proposed alternative if scaling is a really big issue.

SSD wasn't a type. It wasn't even a class. SSD was just a name used to ruse the Senate.

I like the way you think.

Nice......

Progress has continued. I hooked up all the unit voice overs today. Definitely makes the game feel much more alive than the generic TEC voices we've heard a million times. 

In other news, you can check out the first gameplay feature on Moddb, about the Empire's rank system. Now even you can be an armchair Grand Admiral while conquering the stars!

Seriously though, Lavo knew about his a bit before I publicly released any images. He's already got a new UI for all of his factions to iron out, and with 6 of them I don't think he has the time to put this kind of detail into just the Empire. Even if I were to give him all the assets. 

Interesting questions. I have actually mixed a custom main menu song for Interregnum. Currently it is a combination of the Rebellion title theme and Battle of the Heroes. I have a couple of other themes I would like to thrown in there as well, but we will see.

As for your second question, I really hope so. The text that would appear is more or less what is on the first reply of this thread. I sadly do not have a video editor I could use to make the opening crawl right now though.

Here is a screenshot of the Empire's Starbase, the Jovan Station, in orbit around a Hydrocarbon planet. While originally designed as a supply and staging base rather than a combat platform like the Golan series stations, the Jovan's sheer size provides plenty of space to install weapon batteries, from turbolasers and missiles to antifighter quad lasers. Its abilities still focus on fleet support rather than combat however. It can call for free reinforcements from nearby Imperial ships and rapidly heal an entire battlegroup in its radius. The station is also an invaluable asset to Planetary Governors, with its ability to act as an emergency headquarters during a siege or revolt and as a symbol of the strength of Imperial rule, which can translate into more tax collection and cheaper planet development costs.

Unfortunately we do not know if this station was a standardized design or unique to the Jovan system, however historically it proved its worth as the base of operations for the blockade of the Yavin system following the destruction of the first Death Star.

Several different ways, but each player will only be able to have one of each character of course.

• This mod is based on my Enhanced 4X Mod, which has its own mechanic of hero units. I would suggest you try it out if you are curious. This mechanic allows 3 unique heroes per faction, which for the Empire are Captain Teren Rogriss, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Admiral Piett.
• A few of the game's titans, which you can also only have one of, are commanded by named Star Wars characters. Darth Vader of course commands the Executor, the Galactic Empire titan, and Admiral Ackbar has HomeOne, the Rebel Alliance titan. In addition, the Imperial Warlords faction may have 3 of the warlords command their own flagship, if memory space allows me to give them unique titans. These will of course be Yasanne Isard on Lusankya, Grand Moff Ardus Kaine on the Reaper, and Warlord Zsinj on the Iron Fist. You'll be able to decide in game which warlord to ally yourself with and thus which titan/character you get.
• Star Wars characters famous for flying Star Fighters will be spawned with abilities off either hero units or titans. For example Soontir Fel and the 181st Imperial Fighter Group is spawned by the ultimate ability of Captain Teren Rogriss, while Rouge Squadron and Wedge Antilles are spawned from the Alliance hero Commodore Han Solo. It is possible Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett may also make appearances in this way, but they are not finalized.

I initially planned to have the Millennium Falcon be spawned by HomeOne, AKA Admiral Ackbar, as a special Corvette. Pretty much everything about Ackbar is based on the Battle of Endor in RoTJ, so naturally I had the Millennium Falcon being piloted by Lando Calrissian as Gold Leader per Return of the Jedi. However, I realized that some people might want Han piloting the Falcon, which is a problem because he is a Hero Unit in a Mon Remonda type (MC80B) Mon Calamari cruiser, based on when he was a Commodore chasing Warlord Zsinj. Unfortunately none of the other trilogy characters have ever commanded a large warship that I know about so he cannot be easily replaced. When I start working on the Alliance I'll probably ask for feedback on just what to do about his because I am no longer certain.

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here, since Sins caps and titans can have 10 levels each. Since you have 4 abilities with up to 4 levels each, you can max out two abilities and be able to put 1 point in the other two. Also titans you get 2 points per level, so you can max out all your titan abilities if you like (though not the armor/hull/weapon upgrades as well).

In E4X I choose to give heroes fixed ability paths (you don't have a choice of what ability you want to improve, there is only one possible option), rather than let the player choose for balance reasons, a bit like in say Battle for Middle Earth. This was so all the heroes abilities could be unlocked early, yet the clearly better abilities would not improve until higher levels. For the most part Interregnum will use the same style.

Each capital ship and titan starts at level 1 and can reach up to level 10. In theory you could reduce the number of levels but not raise them. Capitalships and heroes are limited to 1 point per level, titans always get 2 points per level. Each ability can have up to 4 points put into it, but I do not use all 4 for all abilities. The heroes are designed to max out their abilities by level 10, and as mentioned if you so choose you can max out the abilities of your titan as well.

It will make more sense when you play the mod if you still don't understand it.
