Default Re: Star Wars Mod - II (Sci-Fi Xover Mod)

Well I wanted close ups of very big ships so the only way to make them fit was to put them very close.

BTW details of the Agamemnon's cannons would work great for components.

Changing the names would be easy. There are just text in texture maps all I need to do is find a matching font and type another name. Any suggestions?
And BTW you cannot read Enterprise, the tag number is hard to see and you can only recognize it if you're already know it.
But wait why should I change the names?
Many crossover stories (fan-made of course) include those ships
So that ISD could be the "Devastator" (Lord Vader's ship in ANH) and that X-Wing be piloted by Luke Skywalker and Artoo-Deetoo.

The ships ramming each other:
The Agamemnon rams the Devastator, and is destroyed taking most of its shields.
The Enterprise would have been able to avoid the explosion with more ease, but Picard waited until the Last second to order the evasive maneuvers so it's impacted by a few debris that bounce harmlessly from its shields.
As the star destroyer's shields are down, the Enterprise beams a small team to the Devastator's bridge.
Vader slices Worf in 2 with his lightsaber while the stormtroopers finish off the rest of the invaders.
The Enterprise has problems targeting the many small and fast TIEs that swarm around it.
The good old method doesn't work:
"Ensign, prepare to fire phasers on the nearest fighter on my mark."
Pircard stands, straightens his uniform and orders "Fire!"
On the other hand there are more than 60 trigger happy gunners shooting at the Enterprise, computer programmed evasive maneuvers are no match for them.
They are too distracted by the easy target that they fail to see the X-Wing approaching from the bottom until it's too late.
Luke fires two torpedoes directly into the star destroyer main reactor.
Vader had escaped in a shuttle but the nor crippled Enterprise is able to take down his shields and beam him on board before he can jump into hyperspace.
The dark lord of the sith makes his way out of the brig by making a hole in the wall with his lightsaber and starts slaying anyone he finds.
Vader forces Geordi to freeze Riker in carbonite.
Troy: "I love you."
Riker: "I know."
Luke lands in the shuttlebay and hurries to help.
Lightsaber duel, Vader cuts Luke's hand off.
Vader: "Luke I am your father. Join me together we will rule this galaxy as father and son."
Luke: "Nooooo!", and he jumps into the warp shaft.
Then the Falcon comes and helps Luke can get away.

Ok that was too much and I was getting nowhere.
