I was immediately reminded me of Battlefleet Ghotic designs when I first saw the TEC Kol in game.

This certainly does not belong in modding.

I have very little interest in a BG mod. What i would like to see is if FEATURES of the game integrated into SINS.

Especially the boarding stuff and ship killer torps.

Gentlemen,

Moo2 had assault shuttles that were alot of fun. These could be used to board an enemy ship to attempt to takeover or damage the ship. They were an alternative to fighters and in SOASE could be brought to battle by carriers or be used by a planetary defense hangar.

If successful the boarding party could damgage the ship or take it over, or it could be scuttled by its own crew and explode. If successfully taken over it could be scrapped or perhaps become part of the winner's fleet after the battle.

It would make for the best radio chatter!

My opinion is that this game modded by a bunch of semi-pro's to look like BFG would probably be about as fun as this game modded to look like star trek or battlestar galactica. It would just be freaking cosmetic.

In my experience with stardock, that being galactic civ II, I found the game very hard to mod for outside cosmetics and already established values --- meaning that witting boarding code or making a mobile planet or any of the other really interesting things that would give a mod flavor would be unlikely to happen without serious developer interest.

What I am suggesting is that these features I have mentioned are generic space combat game features that this game should not be without. The one I would most love to see though would be boarding. Everyone love to see a good boarding also I wouldn't mind seeing planetary invasion - everyone loves a good invasion.

Can you imagine how cool it would be seeing a "boarding vessel" fire off "marine pods" and watch as a large battleship ends up turning its guns back on its own guys. Or maybe just an easily destroyable pod carrying demolitions experts that can if unmolested take down a cap ship or disable a cap ship. It would be hot!

Well the only real factor i didn't like of galactic civ 2 was the fact that I couldn't control my ships in combat and pull off sneaky tricks. It was just all done by math --- boo math.

I miss being able to board, shoot down incoming missiles, disable ships. All which were present in that great game MOO2 which I'm not saying should be cloned but def. should be looked at.

Another option of course is to completely copy G-civ 2 and just make a fleet and let it go then just do math when two fleets meet but I guess that would somewhat negate the "thrill" of micromanagement.

hey there peeps, just been told by one of my mod team about this game, and ive been looking through vids and screenshots and it all looks very impressive.

im currently running a BFG mod for supreme commander, here our moddb: http://mods.moddb.com/8835/gothic-commander/

if this game plays well and gets sufficient mod tools we may switch to this game,

just a note that we havent updated recently due to family issues on my end and uni comming up for myself and a few others, expect more content soon.

thanks for the offer and comments but ill have to decline, hardly anyone uses the forums anyway, and i think a forum is a form, there all the same, i could even host my own on my webspace but meh... lol

myself and 1 other builds the models and we have a very very good texture artist

BFG for this would be awesome, how would one do the boarding? Aside: Vasari already look like eldar, and the TEC do look like Imperials IMO.

a map editor? they already said that it wont have any AI scripts or anything like that so scenarios are out. Also we already have code herders model import tool unless you mean anything else.

They're going to release OFFICIAL tools. Including a map editor, model editor (well, actually, "some way" to get models into the game -- might just be a converter or something), and they haven't released what else.

i agree thrawn but it sucks worse for me in australia we dont even have specialist games down here i have to order from america or britan

and wow kentor does that mean yoyr coming over to sins? if so maby i can help you with getting models out faster my friend was just starting on chaos cruiseres and frigates

EDIT: also is there going to be no way to make turrets move or have they said no to that completley last time i was looking round here they said that the big ships might but i never saw their final decision

il take that as an order then if i do il nead some help with coding this game what file system does it use?

well the model man says yes so we will start. what is the general polly limit we should aim for for caps cruisers and frigates?
