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.

Kind of wondering if the colony's size is causing some lag.

Looks awesome. Good stuff, Zombie.

What is that saucer ship bigger than reimagined Basestar next to those 3 on the fourth pic? Is that Basestar from the old BSG? I know that looked like that, but were they bigger than the new ones?

It should actually be a hair smaller in length...

The only issue that I have with the Hub (and I'm pretty sure it can't be fixed) is that it can't move from system to system (obviously because it's a planet structure). Would even be nice for it to "micro-jump" around the gravity well, and I've tried some coding for that myself and it can't be done. It's not really consistent with cannon, considering that even though it appeared that the Hub didn't have engines to move around, it could FTL to other systems. 

Otherwise, I think ressurrection works pretty well. 



I actually have a "Plan" to enable the Hub to move and phase jump while keeping it limited to the orbital cannon # restriction. Would need to decide what AI to apply to the HUB if I go that route.

OMG yes!!!!! That would be very awesome!! What do you mean by "what AI To apply"?

It would spawn as a Frigate and be associated with a hidden superweapon module slot. As a frigate we can get it to behave in slightly different ways (though not too many). It could for example act like a Colony frigate so the AI doesn't just throw it at the enemy.

Reply #2430 from Sins Forums Top

Ok cool. So if you give the Hub the same AI as a colony ship, and obviously not give the Hub the Colonize ability, will that work? ie. the AI won't send the Hub into battle or try to send it to uncolonized planets? A few other things:

- You may have to somehow limit the Hub to only be able to Jump in the system that it was spawned in, considering that Resurrection only extends to the system where the Hub was built. 

- Will the Cylon Titans still be able to spawn the Hub as their ultimate ability if the Hub is treated as a frigate? 

Reply #2431 from Sins Forums Top

dunno how it works but the first think i thought about was the flagship AI, it always stays in the home planet gravity well, if he could just retreat if there is too much too handle for the cylon, would be nice otherwise the colony frigate things seems like a good way though i don't know if he will make it retreat

Resurrection will follow wherever the Hub is actually. The ability is tied to it.

ok... I did some testing of the resurrection ability when I did some minor modding/testing of my own about 6 or so months ago. I created the Hub as a second starbase and when I tried to send the Hub starbase to a new system, it wouldn't resurrect anymore. Most likely I didn't set it up properly.

Awesome FTL effect! Just like the show

Reply #2438 from Sins Forums Top

KrdaxDrkrun did a cool job with this.

 

I cleaned it up some more so the effect happens exactly when the enter FTL like in the show. I'm working on a graphic that will display while they are calculating FTL.

Yeah, I setup the rest of it today. It's so much cooler seeing them just jump out like they are supposed to versus the wormhole standard effects.

Hey Z, have you a chance to work on resurrection?

Reply #2442 from Sins Forums Top

Hi Zombie,
I noticed two further little issues (maybe):

1.) Cylon Loyalist
Cylon Rebel can research "Are you Alive", "Procreation" and "Nanorobotic" to increase its population; but the Loyalist can't.

2.) Starbase-Upgrade-Hangar for Cylon
With the last Hangar-Upgrade you get 40 fighters or bombers.

Was that intended?

By the way the new models of Nep are awesome! And I really began to laugh when I saw the Yamamoto as Titan. The Yamamoto for the Pirates it's a really funny and good idea!
Ok, I was a little disappointed that you haven't chosen the Bismarck (joking:-))!

Take care,
Lusche

Hey Lusche... For the Cylon Rebels, the idea is that they concentrate their research efforts on biological reproduction (like Old Earth cylons) to increase their tax income. The Cylon Loyalists concentrate on "Hacking" (Programming research tree) to generate tax. It's an attempt to differentiate Rebel from Loyalist. 

Reply #2445 from Sins Forums Top

Hi Cylon_Luvr!

Ty for your answer!
Yes, that is plausible. I really like the Loyalist and their good old Basestar "Hades" he he :-)!. Ok, then I will make sure that the good old Cylon empire will be re-established.

Hey Z, 

Could you please make the following changes to English.str 

Could have sent you the updated file, but there are only two changes so I thought I would just post them here. 

StringInfo
ID "IDS_RESEARCHSUBJECT_CYLON_THEPLAN_SHARONBOOMERVALERII_DESCRIPTION"
Value "Boomer is sent down to the planets surface to install algorithms that vastly improve construction rates."

StringInfo
ID "IDS_RESEARCHSUBJECT_CYLON_THEPLAN_NUMBEREIGHT MODEL_DESCRIPTION"
Value "Number Eight's historical and religious revelations spread across the planet, bolstering resistance against false enemy culture."

Thanks mate.

Z, 

A few other things I've noticed: 

- There is no icon for the new Titan foundry that appears in the menu down the left hand side. 

- The Cylon Rebel Titan cannot be added in Galaxy Forge now. I tried to fix this myself but couldn't figure it out. 

- I must say... I'm really not a fan of the changed missile effects for Cylon at all. You can't even see the missiles anymore! One of the things that makes the Cylons so unique is their heavy reliance on missiles - it differentiates them from all other races. Aside from spamming raiders, missiles is their "signature" and needs to make a statement. Just wondering why you changed it?  I really think it takes away from the gameplay... the missile effects that you had in previously were spot on with cannon and the effects in the actual series! If you are going to keep the missiles as they are (not sure why you would), how can I revert them back for the previous version on my computer?

Yeah I agree with this. Can't even see the missiles anymore and the effect doesn't fit with the series. I much prefer the old effect.

I moved them to the Graphics add on while I did some troubleshooting. Just activate the Graphics addon and you'll be fine. 

Reply #2450 from Sins Forums Top

Thanks Z. Any way that it can be moved back into the main mod? Activating the Effects Addon also activates some effects that don't look good ie. when the missiles impact with a ship (some weird black sphere things and blue stuff when a missile impacts on something, which isn't consistent with the effects in the series).
