Star Wars Mod - II (Sci-Fi Xover Mod)

Why can you build the death star prototype in this mod? Wasn't it only used to test the idea of the super laser?

Because this is a mod, not a scenario. It is designed for general play within the Star Wars universe, and not every universe has to act identically to the movies.

Well the DS prototype was nothing more than a hollow skeleton. I could understand it's purpose being there if it was a prerequisite to building the real thing, but I don't see any reason to have it in as its own combat ship.

Might have to install some drivers if it's an old OS. Maybe he's not allowed to do that on his work computer.

That is so true. I wish I could do stuff like that, but I got to follow state policy. Heck, my boss frowns on me doing anything unofficial on the computer as it is, but allows me to do so.

Because it could be built as its own ship...

I'm also using an outdated bad shape computer that has no functional USB port.

What do you mean as its own ship? It was built to research the super-laser, and see if such a large laser could be aimed and operated. It would have no combat value. Now, it COULD have been turned into a fully working Death Star, but then it wouldn't be a prototype any more.
