If this was implemented I would expect no less than to have a Death Star as well...

It should have shipyard, equipment dock and trading station facilities, and be armed to its teeth. And it should have a jumpdrive...

If I remember correctly even a normal Imperial Class II Star Destroyer is longer than 1Km. And A SSD should be more than 10Km long, if not 20Km....which is absolutely absurd. But cool, for sure

Well I think a shipyard in X3 is over 5 km, so it could be possible. A Death star would probably fill an entire sector, though...

How about simply making a new 'skin' for one of the planets or moons, to look like a Death Star? That would be pretty cool too.

I already have an ISD in my SSG mod(s) for X2.

To be honest, it doesn't really look all that X3-ish.

I have put 33 ships into X2...many of which I will be bringing over to X3 as I have time. (I'm not sure if the ISD will make it. If it does, it will need to be completely re-textured, which is a lot of work.)

You can check out pix of my X2 ships on this thread...
http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=87181

I currently have the Tie Interceptor, Tie Defender, and A/B/X/Y-Wing fighters ported over to X3 from X2.

I have also ported the Banshee (M3), Roger Young (currently a TL, but with lots of weapons and hanger capacity), and Sulaco (As an M1, but with 40 lasers, and a 90-bay hanger).

Then there is the Millennium Falcon, which I have in the game as a freighter, but spec'd as an M3-class ship so it can dock with TL's and M1/M2 capital ships. It has a fairly large cargo capacity, but no front weapons (although with 2 quad laser turrets, it can defend itself pretty well).

Most of these ships required a fair bit of re-work to make them "right" for X3.

I also have an YT-2400 "Outrider" in-game (new ship, not in X2) which I use as my main M3 fighter in X3:

I'll also be adding a few new ships into X3, like this M6 based on the Monsoon Gunboat from Babylon 5.

The thing you need to keep in mind is that it takes a significant amount of effort to bring a ship into X3 (or X2). It is not a simple "quick & dirty" matter of taking someone else's work, and wrapping an X3 scene file around it. I'm not saying it can't be done...but the results are less than satisfying, and that's not the way I care to work.

I prefer to use ship plans (or other people's meshes as a template), and build my own from scratch. That way you can control the quality, poly count and level of detail.

Since I only recently figured out a way to access the new X3 textures (about 2 days ago), I have decided to re-texture the ships before releasing anything for X3.

As an "FYI...the Gunboat in the above screen shots represents around 30 hours work

Nice! Looking forward to the release!

Atleast we know that is possible. It will be reallyc cool if you can rule the X3 galaxy using a star destroyer or a super star destroyer as your commanding ship. After that, all you need to do is to change your name to Palpatine and there you have it.

Repfreshing the topic ...

Is there an ISD or Super ISD ship model to download ? I know DDR MOD has an ISD but i dont want the whole mod (i prefer XTM) I NEED JUST THE SHIP

Thanks in advance.

Cycrow has a bunch of ships on his site, including an SD and an Executor Class SSD if i remember correctly.

If i recall, there is a Tie Defender model too.

problem with those ships is that when they get too big the will get weak points due to turret positioning, there are at max 6 turrets and that's hard codded

Executor Class SSD

I thought the Executor was a single ship.

No. The Executor class SSD was a TYPE of ship, with its first vessel being named Executor...there were at least...i wana say 3 more made however..Lusyanka, which was built AS executor, and then burried on coruscant so nobody would realize there was a second ship, then dont rember the other 2...
