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.

Z, tried to fix this myself but couldn't... The Warstar starbase upgrade (which now works) to build ships only allows frigates to be built, not cruisers as well... 

It's probably an easy fix if u know what ur doing!!
End of Mord_Sith84's quote

You need to click on the planet to construct cruisers.

Reply #2327 from Sins Forums Top

So you can't build cruisers from a starbase? If not, the description will need to be changed, because it says that the research will allow cruisers to be built also.

End of Mord_Sith84's quote

They will build from the starbase but the option will only show when you click on the planet due to the move order button having higher hard coded priority. 

Reply #2329 from Sins Forums Top

Damn... The button can't be moved to a vacant square in the starbase menu?

It's not possible as all of that is hardcoded by ironclad and thus not accessible to modders.

Hey Z.... I've just sent some updated files to you... just tweaked a few things:

- Reduced the amount of antimatter required by the Resurrection Hub to resurrect ships, to improve the effectiveness of Resurrection

- Updated the String again

Could you please add them to the next build?

Thanks



Got it... The changes look ok. I only found one string for the defense platform name. Where there others? 

End of ZombiesRus5's quote

Nope, pretty sure that was the only change, thanks

What does the "Ties that Bind" research actually do in the Colonial research tree? (Quorum of Twelve research tree)

Also, with the new build, some of the other races are having issues... i.e. there is a minidump if you try to use Plague. Can load Plague if you load the patches 1.80.29.1.2 and 1.80.29.2.... but then, the Fall of Kobol mod crashes!

Looks like a copy paste issue on the research description. I'll update that in the new build. It should improve relations and increase tax income for the ally.

You'll need to download 1.82.33.x from moddb for Plague to work right.

Reply #2334 from Sins Forums Top

Z, what an amazing modder you are! Was just reading through some of the comments on the moddb page for Sins of the Fallen..... So many confused (and lazy) people who freak out at the prospect of having to activate a few races and addons, even though the instructions are CLEARLY listed... You have so much patience! Thanks so much for all the work that you put in to these mods, you're one of a kind dude!

I know you've seen me lose my patience though ;)

Anyone have any thoughts on what a good Colonial Military Lab would be?

I'm also looking for some ideas on a Hangar bay. Thinking about mashing up something with the hangar pods and turning them into a orbital structure.

Reply #2337 from Sins Forums Top

Well, as far as designs to draw from I can only think of the armistice station, Ragnar and Scorpia Shipyards. Armistice station with flight pods might be pretty close to what you want. They still use solar panels on their satellites, so I suppose that's worth noting.

As for the military lab, hm, well there was an idea out there that the Hades were originally Greystone space station things, so maybe something vaguely reminiscent of that, but obscured with colonial equipment. Otherwise, I'd just suggest something that cherry-picks their other design elements. Or maybe all of those: Solar-Panels + Sot13t Attackstar (Colonialfied) + Ragnar Ring haha.

Reply #2338 from Sins Forums Top

A few idea... you may have to get permission to use the designs though? not sure

Also, how cool is this (even though you're not looking for a Defense Platform: 

Reply #2340 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks for the ideas guys. I don't think any of Ice Dragon's models would be allowed though they are awesome looking. But it did get me thinking.

Here is the new military combat lab for the colonials...

A mashup of the TEC lab and Cloud 9.

I'm looking at the models to see what I might be able to do for the hangar bay and culture center.

Reply #2341 from Sins Forums Top

Scratch that... Here is the new military lab (using the one above as the Temple currently) and a second choice for colonizer (basically flair).

I also replaced the starbase constructor as I never really cared for that model.

For some quick mashing they do look pretty sick. Have the buttons and icons for them in game too.

Nice work Z !

Mashups are like playing with legos ;)

Reply #2347 from Sins Forums Top

I almost feel like there should be more of a base around the Cloud 9 discs. 

Looks pretty good though, and I'm totally down with the ship choices!

 

And question, what do you think of AB Raiders as vintage bombers, or is that too much?

I'm thinking about it.

End of Cavil_Volente's quote

Since I'm masking I'd need something I could throw around to accomplish that. I could take the ring around the base and resize it to fit as one option. I thought about doing something along those lines but ran out of time.

Not sure I have any AB Raider models. I'm considering adding the vintage Raider though as an option.

Reply #2349 from Sins Forums Top

I just finished packaging what I have for the old raider.

Reply #2350 from Sins Forums Top

I was thinking about starting work on an AB model. I kind of want to move on from hack-sawing materials and meshes, and actually make some. It's a pretty basic design, and if I can't make it, I can certainly texture it.
