Ninja's Super Cool Mega Awesome Fantastic Sides Mod

This is a sides (era) mod which encompasses both Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. I started this mod a little more than one and a half years ago. The mod is about 65% done with what I plan to include on the first release.

What I want to include on the first "final" release:
-Rebalanced unit layout
-Rebalanced weapons
-Different Vehicles
-New skins, sounds, effects, and other such shiny things
-Rebalanced heroes
-New game modes


General Sides Layout:
Rifleman
Blaster Rifle (Auto)
Blaster Pistol
Frag Grenades (x3)
Health+Ammo packs (x2)
Melee Attack

Sniper
Sniper Rifle (Chargeable)
Blaster Pistol
Portable Shield (x1)
Portable Turret (x1)

Engineer 6 Points
Shotgun
Rocket Launcher
Fusion Cutter
Recon Droid

Melee Class 12 Points
Melee

Special Class 12 Points
Varied weaponry

Random Unit 18 Points
More powerful varied weapons, each side has and average of five different random units.

If you are this far in the post, I guess you would be interested in... SCREENSHOTS!
(some skins, weapons, bugs, etc. are not final.)

BETA


The reason I finally posted a WIP is because I need beta testers. Note that the betas will "closed" and released in a sort of "nightly build" format so early betas may still have various bugs, but probably few that affect gameplay.

What will most likely be included on beta 1.0:
-Rebalanced unit layout
-Rebalanced weapons
-Some new skins and sounds
-Credits list beta 1.0
-180mb filesize

What will NOT be on beta 1.0:
-Heroes
-New game modes
-Complete credits list
-Final Vehicles Lineup

If you are interested in beta-testing, send me a pm or make a post.

Looks pretty neat, keep up the good work! BUT-- Disclaimer: the following is by no means at all meant to discourage or put down the author of this side mod in any way. While this side mod may look neat and dandy, what makes it different from all of the others? What is original about this mod? All I see is yet another side mod that focuses mainly/only on the Republic and the Empire. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is true according to the pictures (which I can only see half of because I am browsing GT on my phone right now and Opera Mini is silly). In either case, opt me in to beta test if you may so wish to choose me.

I am uncertain, but I may want to beta. This unit is so fun to add effects around. It looks pretty...awesome.

I need to clean out my addon folder though, so I don't know.

I've asked myself the same question before, I plan on adding originality with uniquely structured maps and different game modes, as I have found that there is next to nothing involving sides that has not been beaten to death. Right now I am focusing on finishing the sides so that I can construct the rest of the mod.

Most pictures are of the Republic and Empire because of a few reasons: I use the Republic to test new weapons and balancing, and also because I started skinning them first because nearly identical white plastic armored units are much easier to skin than unique humans that include few parts of the skin with their teammates, and droids where half of the effort is used in figuring out their strange uv layout. Another reason is because more unique models exist for the Republic and Empire compared to the CIS and Alliance, so it was easier for me to think of new units for those teams. Ironically, the CIS actually has the most unique units right now, but most are in need of new skins (no sense is taking and showing screenshots of random stock stuff that will be replaced.)
