Swiss Knight

The solar system is more then likely going to be in the mod, but we're going to be doing it ourselves most likely.

Very exciting update today, it’s our 2 year anniversary of the announcement of the mod, even though almost everything has changed since then. I won’t bore you any longer with this text nobody reads, and instead have a ton of screenshots, renders and concepts. Slavny Class Light Cruisers and Interceptors over the recently captured Galleria System.

Its a nice image I guess, but not really worth making a new topic for. Its not like nobody else could figure out how to type "starship comparison" in google.

Right, for those of you wondering how the DoV story came about, I've written a little history of what happened. [link="http://forums.slipstreamproductions.net/index.php?showtopic=5024&st=0#entry107079"]As seen here[/link]

[quote]Dragon, not to be mean, but shut up. It's NOT easy, it takes a LONG time to get decent with moddeling, and textureing. While he could do it, it'd look like some crap a three year old puked up. So if he wants a good quality mod, he needs to find someone who allready has the skills needed.[/quote] If he wants a good quality mod, he should realize that the chances of a devoted team of modelers, skinners and coders falling into his lap is not going to happen, and his only choice is

The only interesting thing about “Expelled” is how P. Z. Myers was refused entry to its premier, even though he appeared in the film. What kind of idiot “expels” a vocal opponent of intelligent design, from a screening about how we shouldn’t expel people who believe different things?

maybe you could just let that go too.

The mod has Space Nazis fighting Space Communists, the characteristics of the fighter planes are hardly the most pressing inaccuracy. So maybe we could just give this whole thing a rest.

We really can’t provide any sort of estimated release time on a mod like this. Our team is made entirely of volunteers and things like work and school tend to get in the way of modding. The best way to help DoV get released sooner is to just spread the word.

[quote]at your stage of the alpha, what is already done ?[/quote] That's classified too. All I can say is we have an internal alpha. It'll be released when it's done.

Oh my god we have some more updates. This time with the Soviet MiG-51 and German Bf-264 fighting it out in the Hammerhead Depths.

Its very easy to promise tons of new races and ships, buts its somewhat more difficult to find people to model them, skin them, and get them working ingame. Having Japan as a playable side, lots of minor races, etc, would be awesome. But for now were going to concentrate on our first release. edit: as for Superweapons, there still in development. But the Soviet one isn't so much a weapon as a massive ships with lots of weapons on it.

That is currently classified. I'd advise to keep checking our forums for updates.

Don't think you can.

Actually, the GalCiv2 mod is much newer having been announced 3 months after Dawn of Victory switched to Sins. It went into beta around August and is available to any who apply. I'm really the only one working on it, as its more of a side project.

[quote]1) No screniees of the good guys (democratic federation)?? 2) No screniees of the capships (Slavny doesn't count ) ??[/quote] 1) The Democratic Federation is currently planned for our 2nd release and as such, most of our efforts have been put into the Germans and Soviets. 2) Indeed, the Slavny is but a light cruiser, but I can promise you that when you see some of our Capital Ships, specifically the Soviet Rodina Class SuperBattleship it will be unlike anything current

Currently, the Scouts are still being launched from Capital Ships, but we are very close to getting them to act as an independent unit.

Another update comrades, here be the Soviet Scout in game.

Sorry, one more question/problem. I’ve been trying to upload my video to GameTrailers all night, but I keep getting various errors and timeouts. Is there any other way to submit it?

So is 50mb the absolute limit for both the standard def, and high def entries? It seems almost impossible to get the high def video under 50mb, and the standard def ruins the widescreen.

Might as well post a picture I took from the last topic about Custom Logos. [img]http://www.public.slipstreamproductions.net/swiss/signs.jpg[/img] It didn't take too much work, this biggest annoyance were the alpha channels.

This theme is amazing.

I’m not entirely familiar with the capabilities of Stardock Central, but as far I know it’s only for files of the official sort? Right now there are dozens of maps and mini-mods being hosted by whoever has the space, and a centralized place to upload all of them would be quite useful. I visited the Empire of War Files site a lot back in the day, and I think a site for Sins of a Solar Empire would only benefit the community.

[quote] OK...maybe i missed it but... HOW DO I GET IT?!?!? This is looks as exciting as the core game..and maybe more so to me as i was always a fan of the Waht if scenario that Turtledove frequently used.... I hit the DoV web site..nothing in downloads...when wehere will it be available? And i assume you can do multiplayer with anyone else with current version of mod too right? thanx! [/quote] Rig
