sounds good to me newhorizons, the G'Quan ability could be something like 'draw fire' since physical blockage wouldn't really be doableingame shield restore could just be renamed covering fire, treat it like a ship's interceptor/defensive systems are turned to help another ship, could even add a negative effect to any ship using it like decreased shield restore rate -> to show how the ship makes itself more vulnerable by helping another ship, woul
I think teh too close thing is due to the herme's weapon range? I wouldn't mind seeing the weapon ranges accross the board being increased a bit, ships like the hyperion engage very very close because of the range of their lesser ranged weapons rather than their beam weapon. It creates alot of problems since they aren't manouvrable, increased range (and decreased power if you want to keep them the same kind of effectiveness) would help keep the battles more
Ahhh damnit guys, my 2 weeks holiday from uni is ending...gonna have to uninstall this cuz the temptation to play is too damned strong! Such a great mod.
I'm just messing around with how the weapons are set up on various ships, one thing I definately recommend is setting the duration of beam weapons to only 3 seconds, this is long enough for a nice effect but doesn't have the problems of the 6 seconds - where the beam is still firing on destroyed ships that are no longer there, or ships that are warping away. I know in the series you saw alot of longer lived beams sawing through ships, but it does look better with shorter times, also h
Here we go tobi, I literally just changed the colour. I've got a week off before I have shifts at teh hospital again, so I'll see if I can have a mess around. I just finished a load of modding I was doing for the project reality BF2 mod, so I'll have a peek and see if I can learn Sins a bit for simple modding (don't expect much, I've been modding BF2 for years, but never really got into the Sins system, but if I can do anything I'll have a go.) <
We have noone doing the particle effects at the moment. If you want to participate you are welcome to do them I just switched the colour of the nova's plasma to that of the hyperion
The problem with EA ships isn't that they are slower, its just that they get stuck on the spot turning slowly and that means they simply cannot negotiate obstacles when they thrust forward and turn at the same time, its much better, but they don't seem to like doing that EA ships should definately be slower and less manouvrable until they get gravity enabled ships, but only to the point it doesn't make them stop all the time &n
Awesome on the nova front guys, I was using the hyperion's mesh on it and this looks much more awesome. I am confused on something though antimatter supply the avaliable repair and refuel facilities (like the hermes) run out of anti matter and then are useless unless you demolish and rebuild them, the refuel station can't refuel itself or be refuelled? My solution (if possible) i
Firstly Tobi and the team, Thank you! its all great! though I'd suggest a couple of things 1) For ships that you have no mesh for atm, use the mesh of a done ship with a slight texture change (like a different name on the side) until you have the meshes, its just a placeholder but has MUCH better look and immersion. I'm currently swapping meshes around on my version to accomplish this. (I can't play multiplayer at uni anyway so no loss
Yeah there is only so far that scripts can take yo in any platform, no game engine is designed for one 3d modelling software, ya have to do some work youself, fortify yourself with wine and vodka and assail that slope mates, good luck!
this is the only area where Sins is really weak imo. Especially in larger maps, planets become nothing but resources, without personality or life; a few empire sim elements would be awesome alongside some cool side missions. however I doubt a mod can give this, and so this would have to come from the core sins game
is it possible for the older style vipers to preferentially engage bombers and newer style to preferentially engage fighters? Always makes me annoyed when my swarm of fighters rushes to engage their 1 squadron of bombers, leaving my bombers completely open to their fighter squadrons kill their fighters faster than they kill yours and you more effectively control the starfighter engagement, atm you have to micromanage it alot, would be awesome if t
Don't listen to the haters :P the scale of ENT suits a RPG or other similar game, a 4xRTS game demands a larger scale, which is featured in TNG and DS9
^ but ofc, I'd never distribute that stuff, I work on teh project reality BF2 mod, and thus I've a deep seated hatred of people screwing with my work then distributing it without my permission - its your intellectual property.
However nothing says you cant switch, or replace ships for yourself if you know how to do it. All we ask is that you keep your changes for your own personal use. Psychoak dont take too kindly to "userpers" [e digicons]:P[/e] yeah I have already messed around a little bit :P swapping Fed Capital ship abilities around, like giving the defiant the ambassador's assault ability instead of cloak, and giving them all the ambassador's marin
I really wouldn't mind the connie being dumped from the mod really :P its a beautiful ship ingame, and done very well, but just looks odd when flying through an area of space with more modern starships :P When the runabout is finished, it could possibly take up the scout role as well
meh, I was ok with it, they uglied her up during teh year of hell etc, placing unscarred hull plating thats been replicated or created using resources found on a planet on teh way isn't too unbelievable, in fact several episodes were dedicated to that search for resources to ensure Voyager could repair and power itself, after all the intrepid was designed for deep space exploration - and Voyager certainly did that. The look of the Equinox was what I'd expect from a ship that wasn'
I dont hate "everything" your avatar made me read that as Leonidas again, I DON'T HATE EVERYTHING, BECAUSE THIS IS SPARTAAAA! :P I was wondering if the star trek excalibur guys would be up for letting you use a model or two from their indie game, they have a couple of useful additions like klingon fighters, though you'd have to make it much lower poly i guess
Perhaps the titan dynamic can be used, but instead of uber ships, you get flagships, which could be modified versions of the base capital ship types; enhancing combat stats or other abilities. E.G. a nebula class that loses its torpedo pod, but gains back its sensor package, giving it range of attack boosts etc. Just throwing that out there, brainstorming etc.
I hope you guys release for diplomacy :) I really loved this mod, and prefer it over requiem in almost all respects. It really captured the Star Wars feel.
