Upcoming Freelancer MOD: Star Wars: Tides Of War

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 8:36 pm

I am Rear Admiral Talon, representing the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire in the Tides Of War MOD. I know your organizationlikes the Freeworlds MOD, and our TOW MOD is the second Star Wars MOD to come out. There are many differences to Freeworlds:

FW

Set after Original trilogy
Largest Capital Ship: Dreadnought
Many servers
Unlimited Factions and ships
Part RP
Roughly 15 systems

TOW

Set between Episdoes 4 and 5
Largest Capital Ship: ISD II (1760m)
Only one server will be allowed.
5 Main factions, plus a limited number of civilian factions. The 5 main factions (GE, RA, Black Sun, Hutts and BH) all have limited numbers of ships.
Total RP
Over 50 systems
True "Territorial Enagagement" battles, which must be scheduled. The attacking force must land 2 (space staions) or 4 (planets) troop transports to capture the base, and it will be theirs an the next month's patch.
Anyone can take over any base, even Civilians, just get a friend to help you. Of course the Empire might not like this.

All the info can be found on http://www.swtidesofwar.com You can join the EMpire through the forum link on that page.

Anyway, I am looking for new recruits to join the Empire. Already having large numbers (about 80) we are looking for mature and experienced Capital Ship officers and fighter pilots. All fighter pilots must start fly TIE Fighters or Bombers and get promoted to better ships by passing tests.

Now for the bad news. This MOD isn't finished yet, most of the work being done by 3 guys. However, the Alpha version of the MOD will be available soon, with 90% of the ships and 5 systems.

Thank you,

Rear Admiral Talon, Imperial Recruitment Officer

Use auto-login, then you don't have to worry about it

Out of curiosity, did we have rules on outside recruitment?

Post by **Fel** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 2:24 am

The previous incarnations of the receiving area had a policy of no outside recruiting. However, we haven't labelled that here, so it's not explicitly forbidden.

I can post it somewhere else if you want, Admiral.

Anyway, anyone else interested in joining?

Don't have it, can't.

Wow, even weaker than the original T/F? If those could fly in an atmosphere, the pilot should really watch out for rampaging mosquitoes...

Yeah, TIE Vanguard and TIE Scout aren't meant for lots of fighting, but hey! It beats flying a recon X-Wing - that crap-thing has NO weapons at all to defend itself. :P

Other than that I would like to check it out. Who says that our Freelancer "department" has to be Free Worlds only?

I will add it to my "to do" list. *sigh*

I agree, it's prolly well worth checking out. Of course, I didn't even know about FW when I last was on this thread )

Post by **Vortagh** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 7:15 pm

I guess you, Steel and I could check it out and then get together and say what we think about it.

Btw, the judges on the USA 24/7 server are finally moving. 7 positive votes out of seven votes alltogether. Now we'd need another vote to have a majority and the voting ends tomorrow - unless 8 people vote no all of a sudden, we'll have the faction by tomorrow! :D
