New Faction - The Meme (work in progress)

Well, those models look really nice. If everything is on par with them, you'll end up with a very nice mod. Good luck with it

Thanks Uzii

Here's another model I've just completed.

Heavy Frigate

Memes? THE HORROR!
Ships phase jumping in stop motion!
Cannons shooting pretend attacks!
Our collective minds cannot handle such damage!

P.S.: Nice hull designs.

heheheheh I really like the idea behind this race. Would be great if you could have some covert and witty references to Dawkins (i.e. preferably taking the piss)

I like how the designs are extremely utilitarian... very mechanical. I would think these ships were created by a race of intelligent machines (haha MASS EFFECT ref to the gell)

EDIT: I hope those massive engines make some big thrust, haha
EDIT x2: Can you give us an ETA? (It's okay if it's really broad; it is a new faction after all.)

I love that construtor.

even if you never manage to finish the whole race please upload the ships you have done as one off downloads. they look great so far and i think they'd be very popular. good job

I love the battleship design. Good work  

Your models look excellent so far, keep it up.

WOW!!!! Great work, what program are you using?

i can help you with texturing and all 2D graphics

Very nice so far. I look forward to seeing these finished.

If you know enough to add a whole nother race to this game, more power to you! and so far is looks and sounds like its gonna rock!

All of those ships looks absolutely gorgeous or. uh, handsome if you want to put it hat way. Well-done.

I love symetry so even though I like the TEC ships, many of the larger ones are lop-sided. I always wanted a human Capital ship to have a more traditional shape like that of a raised supercenter or fo'castle just like the new battleship you have proposed.

Great work.

I like the battleship, it reminds me of a giant robot fish, like in those darius games.
Anyway very cool, keep us posted and I will definitely consider trying it all out when it's done.

Here's the latest models, the light carrier and the command cruiser (apologies for the poor screenshot).



Thanks for all the kind words.



Thanks, they are designed to be utilitarian and modular (if you look closely you will see that all the ships of the same size class share similar engines). The faction I'm working on is very focused and not very creative by nature, so the ships are low tech compared to the other factions, but well engineered and easy to produce.

Not really sure on an ETA. I am nearly finished with the ship modelling now, but I still need to do all the texturing and the modelling of the planet structures, as well as finishing off the gameinfo files. I will probably release a version of all the ships as a mini mod in the next couple of month or so, but I don't know as yet how long it will take to complete the entire thing.



I'm using XSI.



Thanks. Currently I am going to see how I get on with this myself, as although I haven't done much texturing, I am experienced with photoshop/gimp and it maybe that once I crack the technique I will be ok. But if I find I'm struggling I will let you know.



I'm very pleased with the Battleship. I wanted it to have parallels with traditional battleships, while also looking a bit like the Kol, which is my favourite Sins ship. I plan to make another capital ship along similar lines.

I have one suggestion for your battleship. We all know in real-life, they are about redundancy in systems and firepower.

What do you think about turning the engine nacelles or outlets horizontal rather than vertically and make a pair of them- one up top and the other, of course, below. Very-much like how you have the command cruiser's (stacked, basically.)


Your battleship looks so mean and muscular that the very thin part of the ships connecting the nacelles the rest of the ship looks too frail. Just on looks alone, it kind of makes the ship almost look aquatic, like a fish with it's tail fin.

I think, that putting the command cruisers rear-end on the battleship would be perfect....but that's just me.

i love the siege frigate, thats exactly how i picture a siege spaceship.....looking like the entire craft was built around a cannon.

what are your plans for the structures?

Excellent! Can't wait to see the finished product   . What kind of weaponry does the faction use(beam, missiles, lasers, etc.)? And what about abilities? Superweapon?

I think you're thinking of mimes.

Nice models.

They look like they're on par with the polycounts of the original ships, which is the part people always seem to get wrong.

this looks really amazing. i like the utilitarian design of the ships. that was one of the downsides to sins was how jumbled all the ships. good luck with this ill definetly download when it's done.

you should let danman merge this mod into 7 deadly sins

Any progress on this?

yeah this definitely looks cool but when i tried to pm the creator about it i haven't gotten the answer...

It seems like alot of mods or projects have went this way, I tried to find the one with the guy making the insect like race but can't find it at all.
