So my Death Star needs to be escorted?
What a fuzz. Grand Mos Tarkin would have been very disappointed..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

In SE4 you don't have and don't need death stars to destroy planets.
You have small DS or LC that may approach the planet with a treaty, cloaking or by winning a battle.
The death star was strong enogh to battle anything by itself. There was a design flaw of too little PDC, but fighters were supposed to be unable to harm the station.
ISTR reading that they didn't even launch all fighters in the battle of Yavin because they didn't consider the rebels to be a threat.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I know that, but I still want a Death Star. One capable of carrying 1000 000 soldiers (1000 troops) and hundreds of fighters, plus the nastiest gun ever invented: The Planet Depleater Cannon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, Grand Moff Tarkin would have been dead, cause clearly that attacking fleet is no threat. I'm just going to sit with my finger on the trigger cause you're just making that up about the explosions and stuff. Yessiree, no danger here!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You got me there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Why would he be dead? What attacking fleet? The 30 x-wing fighters in A New Hope?

I just wannted to mod a Death Star into Proportions and I have not idea of how to replicate the superlaser.
It doesn't feel right if the superlaser is one of those tectonic bombs. It have to be a laser beam of some sort, with the "destroy medium planet" ability.

Re: OT: Starship size comparisons 1 pixel per meter
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Quite simply; P&N isn't Proportions.
If you're going to jump between mods, comparisons become pointless.

If you want a deathstar beam in proportions, you'll have to scale it up to match the new mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">SJ, could you post the txt file for the death star beam, to copy it into proportions?

I don't even know in which mod it can be found......

Re: OT: Starship size comparisons 1 pixel per meter
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">They are quite large (several times the size of Galaxy class starships). Don't rely on games, because games always distort things to work within the game mechanics.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">He wasn't talking about a particular weapon. He made a reference to a core mounted WMG on a Battlemoon in P&N being similar to a DS Superlaser in an earlier post.
