I have managed to get the last klingon ship ready last week. I am putting in 12hours a day and some days up to 14-15 hours. I only get 1 day off during the week, and thats when i try to catch up on things here. Im still looking for a better job.

I said 0.03 would be finished before the end of the year, but it doesnt look like it is possible with all the work we have left to do. We still have models to prepare, and import, and we still have balancing. So sometime after jan 1. I cant say how long after, because we arent sure ourselves.

Tell me, is the Suvwl QeH class in there, I love that ship.

Hey Major Stress, just to clarify,

The Cardassian merger with the Dominion is just temporary and they will be separated later?

or might be separated later?

...what was unclear about that?

Only thing I ever liked about nemesis (personally) was that it really showed off what a Sovie could do in battle as well as the introduction of the new Valdore's.  The rest of the movie, I must agree was crap, plain & simple.

Like Shimmer said, Spinner did it himself.... Saying that his age had made it to difficult to continue playing his character & asked them to kill him off....  Quite sad....

But yeah, Nemesis.... any ST battle scene rocks in my opinion, but the movie has very little value after that.

Hey guys does the demo 0.02 work with Sins version 1.11?

Afraid not, as it says in the OP

"Demo 0.02 will not be adapted to the 1.1 patch all support for demo 0.02 ceased as of the patch release"

thanks

What we are working on now is a plan to release 0.03 in two parts. The 1st part 0.03a will consist of only the full Federation and the Klingon lineups. The Klingons just need some balancing and UI work right now.

The Romulans, and the Dominion will be released separately in 0.03b. Those two factions need much more work before they are worthy of a release right now. Oh, and the Pirates should be finished by then too.

With the inclusion of the Breen, and Cardassians the Dominion Coalition now has a complete 15 ship lineup. Right now there arent enough "good" units out there to separate them. You guys dont want to play with crap, Do you? (waits for the 1st one to say yes so he can smack em). What is funny is when we 1st started the project you guys wanted the feds klinks and romulans to be one faction. I wanted all of the races separate, but with the lack of any good cardassian models it is impossible to do so right now. We had a choice. Re-use the same models for multiple roletypes, or make them part of the dominion. I think the choice was clear.

Once 0.03 is out the door ill start designing my own cardassian units (not galor wannabes).

0.02 is no longer supported. There is no point to support it because the mod was completely rebuilt for the 1.1 patch, and is totally different from 0.02. It is not hard to convert it over if you want to try for yourselves to convert it. However dont post it here if you do because all it will do is just create confusion. Convert it only for your own personal use.

Ok guys, we had a very successful test of the mod in its current form in MP, incredibly we couldn't stop playing afterwards. So you will most likely see us playing online alot more as we test out new updates, don't be afraid to say hello if you see us!

You guys rock

I'm terribly sorry, I know you don't want to hear me say this. When can we expect 0.03. Your revealing of how awesome the MP is is driving me half mad.

Next year (not going to say "when" next year) You're right i didnt want to hear it.

Seriously, We are having much success right now, but there is still much work to be done. SoA 2 moves at its own pace, and for the mod to be good we need to keep it that way.

As Shimmer said we are doing multiplayer testing right now so you will see my ugly mug on ICO from time to time. We had an excellent comp stomp game where the hard AI just ripped us apart.

The Federation, and Klingons are complete, and the balancing is almost done. Those are the two factions you will see in 0.03a. I just need to redo the UI to add all of the new Klingon units. We hope to release soon. Hopefully by christmas. The Romulans, and Dominion along with the pirate faction will be released later in 0.03b. Those factions are far from finished despite the fact we have full ship lineups for them. Patience i guarentee will pay off here.

The 1st two demos were just a taste. The next series of demos will blow you away (pun intended).

Tho 0.02 was featured in PC gamer i cannot find the article anywhere. Can someone PM me to point me in the right direction, or scan it, and send in a PM please?

Hey Stress sent you a PM with the details of where to find the article. Hope it helps.

I have been somewhat following this thread, but not completely, so my question may have been asked. If it has I apologize, and please just send me to the proper post.  My question is , will the starbases in the upcoming mini releasing by stardock be usable in this mod? Or will Major Stress be adding them to this mod? Im sure this had to have been asked, but I cant find the thread. Thanks.

We as in Stress and I will be supporting the starbases in the next release from stardock. Its our plan to put up bases you can build and expand our mod!

I say you make the pirates Orions myself.

PICS PLEASE....my PC gamer ran out in september and i missed the october edition

I say you let us do what we want to do with "our" mod thank you very much

It isnt much of an article. its more like a vague mention with a link and one picture of a dderidex.

Guys you all need to give Darkshimmer the highest of praise right now, because he pulled off what i could not. He balanced the mod. He also made most of the 0.03 weapon FX while he was at it. It is a totally different mod than 0.02 and i am very happy with it. He is to the gameplay aspect what i am to the modeling aspect. Combined it kicks ass.

Once we do the final MP testing, and finish up the UI 0.03a should be released soon.

We plan on using starbases. Be it for 1.11 or entrenchment. I do not have entrenchment myself, but i do plan on getting it asap.

Spacedock Anyone?

The original plan was to have the Spacedock type (TNG scale) in the superweapon slot. Now that entrenchment is upon us that may change, and it will be obvious where it goes with the expansion. However i plan for those without entrenchment to be able to build a starbase anyway. Like i said I do not have entrenchment, and i have no immediate plans on getting it soon (no job so i dont have the 9 bucks lol).

For standard sins i am still planning on the superweapon slot with easy research req's to be able to build it in mid game. However this will be for the future demo 0.04 where we are going to concentraite on adding all of the trek structures. Once the 0.03 series is out that will be our main focus.

thanx very much for your time and effort guys the mod is great n i cnt wait to get my hands on the final release i know its gonna be worth the wait, cheers i hope you have a great christmas

Well hell, sorry to hear you're out of work. It's brutal out there right now! But I don't intend to let you go without Entrenchment, so I hereby pledge $3 to the Buy Major Stress Entrenchment fund. Anyone else want to kick in a buck or two to reward Stress for all his hard work?

Thank you, but that isnt necessary. Ill get it on my own Appreciate the offer though.

I still dont see any Kudos for Darkshimmer anywhere. He did a major portion of the mod, and i am sure he would appreciate you thanks

Ill leave you with a couple shots of what is now becoming my preffered faction, The Klingons. Ill let you guess the ships.

BLAMMO!
