    Info:

    Server (For now): C3W's whitelisted server: Apply here: http://c3w.servegame.com, and connect with: c3w.servegame.com:4242

    The Trade Federation was a very powerful Republic commerce guild, trade cartel, megacorporation, and lobbying group that was founded in350 BBY as an association of business and trade groups with its owncommercial trade fleet.

    The Federation grew to dominate entire star systems and all major trade routes, and possessed a formidable private military. Toward the end of the Republic, it would become increasingly dominated by the commerce-savvyNeimoidians.

    The Federation played a major role in the Clone Wars for its allegiance to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. It was dissolved andimperialized upon the Galactic Empire's formation in 19 BBY but was not officially disbanded until the Imperial Senate was dissolved in 0 BBY.

    We are currently looking for a Star Wars themed server to settle on. But for now I'm preparing the ships listed below: ( I will update with ingame pictures as they progress.)

    Lucrehulk-class battleship: 50% Done.

    Ship building experience: Medium, I\'m Faily good, still need someone to teach me certain things.

    Why do you want to join?: Well, i was a fan of the CIS before, and i love the idea of a RP Star wars Map, CIS vs Republic. I would represent \'Rune Haako\' who is a sepratist leuitenant to Viceroy Nute Gunray, I would like to be a Leuitenant to an Admiral who is Commanding a Ship, preferably a Munificent Class Frigate.

    I won\'t be joining, but I just had a couple suggestions for your ships...

    You should have the Lucrehulk\'s center section be a separate ship that docks into the ring!

    Also, I\'d say the Vultures are too skimpy to build with blocks. x3 Just leave \'em out...

    I like your idea for the Lucrehulk\'s center of it detaching.

    See in this picture: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090311015216/starwars/images/9/95/Lucrehulk_battleship_TCW.jpg

    , it shows how it is attached, you should be able to have a mechanism their which detaches it, this would be ideal if the main outer ring is damged, and in critical mode, it could detache from the ring, fly off with booster emergency engines, and get away safely. or they should just add escape pods for the Commanders at the Bridge.

    Well... they are the most important cis starfighters. Its possible to build these small things functional without looking too ugly.

    Just made 2 versions of the vulture droid.

    (The right one is in scale (4m length) while the left one obviously isn\'t (8m) (Original length = 3,5m))



    [PS: sorry for my bad english]

    Well, the center ship doesn\'t really disconnect as an escape pod so much as a planetary craft. The central spheres can land on planets like Geonosis while the rings orbit the planet, being too large for atmospheric flight. It\'s enough of an achievement to make a ball that size fly, but the structural shape of the complete vessel would have it falling apart. xD

    Your English is fine! As for those fighters, eh... I suppose they ARE an extremely important part of the Trade Federation\'s naval efforts... however, in this game, do you have any idea how weak single antimatter cannon blocks are? x3 Put bluntly, these things had better be attacking in swarms of HUNDREDS (which will lag the server anyways) or they should only be present for RPs. Of course, if you made bigger ones, they\'d require a way bigger command ship... decisions, decisions.

    I\'d recommend you just scale the Vultures up and have fewer of them, since your server won\'t be able to keep up with the realistic number of Vulture droids anyways.

    Simple version: just have 10 or so big Vulture droids that have stronger weapons and shields.

    I agree with you their Wavelength,

    You should make a few larger sized Vulture Droids, and maybe a few bombers, seeing as the Vulture\'s wont pack enough of a punch, http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/102912857-4.jpg maybe a few of these, not a lot, just in case you were engaging an enemy Venetor Class Cruise or an Acclamator Class Frigate etc, the Vultures should have at least enough fire power to take on an Arc 170 which may be used seeing as it is Star Wars rp.

    Bud, did you seriously just call a tri-fighter a \"bomber\"? I\'d love to see you do a bombing run with one of those. Let me know how much damage you do... xD

    It has anti-matter cannons, SD-BB missles, and shields.

    Hahaha

    That won\'t pack much of a punch. x3 Sorry, but... heh... no. x3 Tri-fighters, by their NAME, are defined as fighters. Light, fast, and maneuverable, these little craft fire a minigun that tears apart the systems on enemy starfighters. Though they don\'t tear a ship apart so much as riddle it with holes, the internal systems of that vessel--and the air-breathing occupant inside--will very quickly cease to function. It also comes with a few light-weight missiles that really won\'t do much more than blow open some holes in the tougher bomber-class ships\' plating so that it can finish them off.

    The Tri-fighter is NOT a bomber. xD If yours functions as one, then it really isn\'t a Tri-fighter.

    What. Did you get a mod for it or something? xD Tri-fighters are anything BUT bombers. They\'re the interceptor fighter type. Now that you say you\'ve RECENTLY played Battlefront II, one of my old favorite games, it makes what you\'re saying sound that much more ridiculous. Have you seriously been flying around destroying cruiser hardpoints in a tri-fighter?

    Buddy, please do yourself a favor and grab one of those clunky white craft with the cockpit. Try using that on the capital ships, and you\'ll find your life exponentially easier. I shudder to think how much of your life you\'ve been wasting whittling down capital ships with a Tri-fighter...



    As for a Solar Sailer, yeah, I like that ship, too. x3 I\'m not in charge of this faction, though, so you\'ll have to wait for its leader to reply to that.

    No, you\'re an idiot if you refuse to learn from this experience. x3 The fact that you stepped down enough to call yourself an idiot means that you\'re not. I applaud you, gentleman!

    Yes, In Episode 3, you see the Tri-fighters engage Oddball and Anakin and Obi-Wan, The Little ball in the middle of the Tri-Fighter carrys Buzz Droids, which tear apart the ships systems, it also has a chain gun which is also their to tear-away the systems of a fighter, it is never used to take out Frigates or Destroyers, it\'s only used for Fighter v Fighter battles.

    The Reason i suggested that bomber was it might be simpler to use, or they could just use a bomber like in Battlefront 2, a favourite of mine also XD the bomber in Battlefront 2 though is the Fighter classed as General Grievous\'s Starfighter, so if this is a RP Star Wars Server then the Person who may act as Grievous will most likely want that to be their own personal ship.

    And i like your idea of the Solar Sailor as a VIP shuttle for the higher commanding Officers, they could also use something like this: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120524082735/starwars/ja/images/8/81/Armed_Sheathipede_variant.jpg :)

    I can\'t help but see that droid bomber as a ripoff of the TIE Bomber, though... xD It\'s the exact same concept. Same wings as the fighter, same cockpit just moved to the side, and a similar-shaped pod on the other side with bombs. I never actually saw that variant before, but yeah, I certainly see why you\'d want Grevious\' ship to be just his ship. Besides, it\'s got a cockpit... the droids wouldn\'t commonly deploy a bomber with a cockpit. xD
