The Exiles Voyage

Description
"The Exile's Voyage," by AQT, is sort've a mini-side mod. It redoes the Imperial and Rebel sides, but it's only applied to Endor and Naboo. It works like most current addon mods do now, as an add-on era using the 1.3 patch.

Both maps have similar sides for the Imperials - a black-hued stormtrooper regiment called the "Inquisitorium" or "514th" - I can't remember which. Endor has sides (bizarrely) consisting of CIS battle droids and Mandalorians, while Naboo has standard-ish Rebel sides (I say standard based on the fact that they follow the same general design as the basic Alliance infantry).

The sides themselves were well-put-together - the weapon setups didn't stand out as exceptional (and I think they rarely will as tastes on these kind of things vary so easily), and as with most sides mods they felt a little more powerful than the stock weapons (this is not necessarily a bad thing).

What did stand out to me was some smaller changes made. First, I liked seeing the Rebel combat speeder from SWBF1 used in Naboo - I think it is a much better "urban" combat vehicle design than the SWBF2 combat speeder - and I think that it's underused for being a stock asset. I also really liked seeing some sound changes. If there is one thing I like to see in any given mod, it is... good scripting, but if there are [b]two[/b] things I would like to see in any given mod they are good scripting and good sound design. Sound is a big thing and it is much too often ignored - it was nice seeing it get a little love here.

In any case, this is a nice small sides mod that I'm sure you can enjoy. Give it a try!
