Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Quoting Cylon_Luvr, reply 2073Hey Z, SZO sent me a planet type for Cylons... its an asteroid with an old Hades basestar that has crashed into it. Its completely done and would only need to be integrated (although I think he created it as a separate mod to activate).

Would you be able to add it as a planet type for the mod? I've emailed it to you. 


I'll take a look at it. I'm hoping to create a planet pack with these systems too.



Helios Gamma System:

Scorpia: Terran Class, 50% water, 50% land?
Sagittaron: Barren Class, 75% Mountains, 25% land?
Libran: Greenhouse Class: 80% Jungle, 20% Water?
Ophion: Gas Giant
Thanatos: Toxic
Acheron Asteroid Belt: Asteroid class, series of these around the star.

Helios Delta System:

Aerilon: Terran Class, 80% water, 20% land (mostly around equator)
Canceron: Terran Class, 75% water, 25% land.
Aquaria: Ice Class, 95% frozen water 5% land (one mass)
Phoebe: Toxic
Styx: Toxic
Aeolus Asteroid Belt, Asteroid class
Hestia: Gas Giant

Helios Alpha System:

Caprica: Terran Class
Gemenon: Desert Class: Deserts, ice caps and some water
Picon: Oceanic Class: 75% water, temperate
Tauron: Terran Class:
Minos: Barren Class: Tauron Moon
Zeus: Gas Giant
Nike: Moon Class
Hebe: Moon Class
Icarus: Volcanic Class
Erebos Asteroid Belt: Asteroid Class
Persephone: Ice Class

Helios Beta System:

Virgon: Oceanic Class, Blue Oceans, Blue tinted land
Hibernia: Moon Class
Leonis: Terran Class
Ouranos ASteroid Belt
Hera: Gas Giant
Iris: Moon Clas
Eubora: Moon Class
Troy: Ferrus Planet
Pallas: Barren Class

I'm probably going to try a procedural planet generator to get some planets that closely resemble these systems and their colors.

That sounds good Z. though Scorpia is mostly Jungle in most of the description i've seen.

Ok, so with Resurrection sorted out, all that is left now is the Cylon economy? 

What are your thoughts on this Zombie?

There is still a lot of refining of abilities left to do and making sure all research ties back to something.

That said I think we need to level set what credits actually mean to the game. Credits is not necessarily money. Credits denotes what is created/produced by the civilization. Do Advent and Vasari REALLY use money like the TEC?

I do however agree with Cylon's being less focused on Planetary population and have made an initial step to dramatically reduce their "population" on colonized planets. 

Personally I think credits can be used to represent the stuff the Cylon civilization produces to support their infrastructure, manufacturing and organic material. 

 

I've given all Cylons a starting credit per capital ship to help balance their early game disadvantage. Add in resurrection recovering some credits through uploading and the ability to create new ships freely through resurrection and the Cylons should have a fairly unique economy without making so impossible to balance. 

We'll need to see how things flesh out after ships are balanced for cost/durability/dps. Also need to adjust the cost for structures as well.

 

I know some of you were set on removing credits entirely from the Cylons. I just don't personally see it working out and keeping game balance workable. You may however try making this model yourself by editing the mod files with Notepad if you would like to try this system and convince us it's the best way to go. I'd be more than willing to incorporate it if it can be proven out by someone.

I'm pretty sure removing credits entirely will break the AI as it will still buy/sell resources on the black market.

I think the approach that you have outlined above is perfect. Great that you have dramatically reduced populations (and therefore tax  credit) initially for Cylon. This is balanced through gaining credit from Capital ships, resurrection and research into hacking or natural procreation. I think it's fine as it is. 

Combining this with resurrection makes the Cylon race very unique. 

Definitely wouldn't work to remove credits entirely.

Don't like the planet colors... tough shit! that was a lot of work for one system and the coding isn't even started ;)

 

Once they are in game the colors can be tweaked further by modifying the atmosphere color.

I plan too. But the colonial fleet might have something to say about you trying to nuke us.

These are individually place-able via galaxy forge. I also have the galaxy forge icons for each planet. 

Whenever I release a new version I'll include the Helios Alpha system. You should be able to start building maps with them straight away and add to them as I release more of the twelve colony systems.

Decided to rewrite some of it to be ranged based on the Resurrection Ships. Appears to have solved the phase jumping mini-dump problem :).

I may upload a new version this weekend  :cylon:

Anyone notice the resurrection ships fly backwards? 

And that resurrection hub needs a serious retexture!

Awesome Z... would love to see a new version. Very exciting that you have resurrection up and running... makes the Cylon race very unique.
