from Sins Forums
there are plenty of races in stargate and plenty of ship designs to be added

SG1 races-
humans
goauld
asguard
Ori
Replicators(type 1)

Atlantis races-
atlantian(ancients)
Replicators(type 2)
Wraith

it seems SG1 is going off air if any of you have been watching you will know its left a cliff hanger there gonna cover it with 2 straight to dvd movies however i think it should be taken one step further and let the gamers decide who wins

atlantis is still going......slowly tho

ill add a link to the story and some of the ships.

would be cool to see how this looks would do it my self but i wouldnt know where to start or how to do it.

the problem is that most tv series and some movies do NOT have enough designs for a full fledged strategy game. if you look at sins you have approximately 15 ships per side and about as many structures. now, if you mod facions like you listed above, what options do you have?

humans:
F 301 (rebuilt goa'uld glider)
F 302 (combined airplane - goa'uld glider)
X 303 (prometheus class capital ship)
F 304 ? (deadalus class capital ships

and thats about it for humans, save for scavanged ships of other races. so, bottom line is that it will be very hard to build a mod with sufficient ship variety based solely on the series. if a modder included some own designs that meld with the existing style, I'd be happy to give it a try, I just wanted to bring that to your attention.

for more info on stargate ships and techs, you can have a look at WWW Link if you don't know it already.

btw. from the link: cost of development of hyperspace capable battleships 2 billion $ :D I wouldnt be surprised if development of the stealth bomber was more expensive. a nice series, but I never saw anything as detached from reality or plausibilty like that.

thats where a little creativity comes in do u realy think it would be hard to devise different vessles from the ones each race allready has?

I'm not the creative type, so I cannot answer the question. but as I said, if you pull it off, I'd be happy to try.

Alternatively, you could wait until the Stargate Worlds game (MMORPG) comes out and take some hints from that.

On a side note, if I remember correctly, the 301 was a disaster and prolly shoudn't be included.

yup, complete desaster.

hmm, are there any legal issues if you use models specifically created for other video games? I mean for series I can't see it ever was a problem, but in the latter case the IP would belong to the software developer. anyone know that?

You could always meander over to Sci Fi meshes and take a gander at some of the fan-deigns for ships. Though they do tend to be for Earth ships more than anything else. Although for different classes of Goa'uld capital ships you could simply modify the mesh a bit and shrink it slightly. Same could be done for Wraith Cruisers and Hive Ships to create smaller capitals and a middle ground between the Cruisers and Hives.

I suppose you could also try making a Human Battleship by cutting the flightpods of the Daedelus increasing it's size and bolting things on here and there for weapon platforms. Possibly making the nose a bit more bulky and blockier. Likewise with the F-302 you could elongate the cockpit a little extend the wings a bit and then strap on missile and gun pods to create a Bomber or Fighter-Bomber craft.

Anyway, good idea for a mod and one that I would love to play.

OK Are you trying to tell me that the Advent isn't ALREADY a total rip off of the Ori? Everything about that race screams Ori, there is no way in unity that it's a coincidence!
