I dont write Hoth, because i dont want to have troubles with Disney. I think, a Star Wars mod for SF2 would be a nice thing. Of course we can not have space battles, because the game engine cant handle it well, but a CAS or Strike scenario at the Iceplanet "Hoss" could be possible. Just for fun i started to made a 600 x 600 km all snow terrain with high mountains and flat areas and a fistfull bases. Some for the Rebell Alliance and some for the Imperial Forces. Since i have a Tie-Fighter on my harddrive, i want to have a X-Wing or Y-Wing as opponent. It would be nice if one of our modders could bring them to life. As long there are no X-Wings i use chinese MiG's as opponent. Screenshots: Attack on a Rebell Base was intercepted by Rebell forces, but the Imperial Tie-Fighters fought their way trough the defence.

I develop the terrain with SF2E and test it with SF2NA. In SF2E the Krivak is not included and does not appear in game. And with my SF2NA i have no problems with friendly fire, neither with Blue, nor with Red side.

I was unable to dublicate your problem on my computer. I flew circles around the ship with american and ukrainian planes and the ship was not firing at me or my wingman. The ship is a stock KrivakII. If you want to delete it go to [targetarea086] and replace the entry KrivakII with Patrolboat.

I have uploaded Beta 0.40 some minutes ago. If an admin gives his okay you can download it and enjoy Energodar and the other improvements on the map.

I wasted a lot of time with making a coastal defence missile system, and finaly i was unable to bring that thing to fire at ships. A pure waste of time. Thatswhy i was not able to hold my deadline to release the next Beta in this week. Back to the roots, terrain making. For the guys that use SF2NA as basic game i added the ukrainian flagship to the map. It acts as southern missile defence unit of the town of Nikolajew. I created a lot of streets and some more small villages. At the isthmus of the Crimean Peninsula now ground combat areas are set, so that CAS missions are possible. My idea to make a lot of CAS fields between Cherson and Nikolajew was not successfull. For that i would had to move the frontline in that area, but i cant bring myself to do that. For me the area of both sides of the river Dnepr is always Ukraine, not Russia. But CAS is only possible in game if one side of the combat line is on the red side and the other on the blue side. With both points at blue sides the game engine cant work properly. Sorry guys. As a small easter egg i placed the old fortress near the village of Perekop on the map. It was created in the time of the russian Czars, but still usefull in WW2. Even today you can find it at sat photos. So it looks in game:

What if the soviets would not have sold the technology for the project 33 to China and would have built the plane themself as MiG-33.

Over Energodar in the Ukraine.

I disliked the north coastline of Energodar. Thatswhy i made two additionaly tiles. Now it looks so:

Good to know. It would be a great addition to Hoth.

For my Donbass/Southern Ukraine/ Crimean peninsula terrain i'm working on a coastal defence missile system, as placeholder till GKABS will finish a real Rubesh missile system. I took the ZIL 157 SAM trailer and replaced the SA-2 missile by a SS-N-2 Styx. So it looks in game: The missile is not yet at the correct position. Thats no problem. I will change it later. But, how can i get the missile launcher to fire the Styx at enemy ships? Must i set it as "GroundObjectRole=Artillery" in the data.ini or "GroundObjectRole=WARSHIP" or anything else?

Bam, bam, bam, bammbammbamm bammbammbamm!

As opponent for this:

Just for fun a X-Wing and a Y-Wing, for some Star Wars action.

I added some small islands east of Energodar. Perhaps i will do some work on the north coast of Energodar. Finally all trees are "planted". Ground combat at the bottle neck of the Crimean Peninsula added. So CAS missions are possible now. My attempt to make battlegrounds between Cherson and Nikolajew, which are relevant today, failed. I got strange results. The game was doing what it wanted, not what it should do. I'm not sure wheter i can release a new Beta this weekend. But i think someday in the next week it will happen. Screenshot: Energodar seen from the east. In forground the new islands, which i added.
