i used to play it but i got bored 1st you would have to talk to ccp about it if you were going to pull their models out a mod for homeworld was alowed to do that i think but under very strict conditions (one being it cant be released in any form till they had looked at it and where satisfied) otherwise eve would make a great mod it has plenty of ships ,tho not to many, there are ideas for structures and there is a base of refrence for what they could be like against each other. if i wasent busy with my bfg mod i would help but sadly mine comes first in this situation  ( 

Heh, Heh, Heh.... To convince more people to play I mentioned the fact that the game was like EVE as an RTS.

The advent mothership looks a bit like the Myrmidon.

Haha, the very first thing I thought when I saw that Advent ship was "OMG a Myrm!".
The second thing I thought was "This game could be awesome with an EVE mod".

It even has many of the same things: A fair number of spaceships, enough to add frigs, cruisers, BCs, BS and capships (although perhaps only 1 or 2 of the models), several playable races, and while EVE has 4 vs Sins' 3, you can make the rebels Minmatar since they only fly spacejunk anyway and actually ARE rebels (bwahaha ), a mysterious race that is kicking another race's butt (Jove in EVE - Could be added in an expansion to Sins if they introduce the race) as well as you can convert the research outposts to the space station models in EVE. Likewise, different hauler ships in EVE could be used as refinery ships and trade ships in Sins and you could even restrict phase lanes to stargates if you wish to go that far into the EVE universe (The Vasari phase thingy between two distant planets could probably be modded for this).

Yes, I have thought about this entirely too much but merging my two fave space games would be incredible beyond belief

that reminds me i have to change my skill!

Well I still think its a great idea and if i knew the first thing about modding i would try it myself. Can any one tell me a good place to start I might try this my self

The homeworld2 mod was not allowed to pull the models and art out of the eve client,
they have been making them on there own, all they got from ccp was permission to make the mod.

It's called "fair use".

I played for about 3 years before i got tired of it. Did the big Corp, then Alliance thing (ASCN during the G, and IRON wars), but got tired of paying 15 bucks a month only to do what others told me to do. So i turned to Piracy. I quit after that got too old. A few pir8's vs big ass alliance's didnt go very well, and empire war deccing wasnt enough of a challenge to bother with. Most would just stay docked, and smacked you from the safety of the stations (even if i was in a crow solo). We did get some ransom but it just got old.

My weapons of choice were in order of skills to fly, Caracal ("suicide caracal" preferably ), Crow, Drake, Cerberus, Harbinger (only non caldari ship i felt was worth a damn).

CCP did that with the homeworld 2 mod to make sure the mod doesnt "suck". AFAIK they have no issue as long as profit is not being made off of it.

lmao

Actually there is now a way to extract the trinity high res models. It can be done granted you have the go ahead from ccp.

CCP gave Zatch permission to use models straight from the eve client for the Homeworld 2 mod (check it on the relic forums). However CCP wants to look at the mod before it is released. They want it to be quality. For free use of CCP material, and IP i think that is a very fair request.

However i doubt they will extend the same courtesy for multiple mods. Doesnt hurt to ask them. If they say no you may need to model the ships yourself so be prepared.

Good luck with the mod.

soon as I played this, I knew it needed an eve mod
