So I decided to create a complete reboot. I'd lost the source files anyway, so as long as I was rebuilding from scratch I might as well make large changes all over the place.
A couple months later, I've made enough progress to show the unfinished product, Tientia: Downfallen.
Premise: The GAR's 364th Aqueous Legion arrived in the Tientia system to investigate reports of a CIS-sympathetic pirate syndicate forming in the area. As their Venator entered orbit around the system's only habitable planet, a blast from the surface disabled it, and it crash-landed by the side of an eroded impact crater, which had filled with rainwater to become a lake. On the far side, the pirates mobilized from a hidden hanger to finish off the Republic troops.
Featuring vehicle combat over a lake and two custom sides, Downfallen is a spiced-up version of the original.

Rifleman, Rocketeer, Sharpshooter, and Engineer all use this unit mesh:

I'm quite proud of the sky - I was surprised that a simple, near-monochrome texture would fit in so well in-game. It's particularly nice when occasional lightning flashes reveal the trees and rocks around the edges of the lake as dark shapes against a lighter backdrop.
