um.. thats not what i was going for.. I wasn't trying to make it work like EVE, actually i've never even played it. I was thinking of making the planets part of the skybox (like homeworld 2) and instead of stars at the center a massive gravity well for large battles with other gravity-wells in the system being large structures or other points of interest.

I like the changes, especially in regards to the TEC defensive structures. I'm interested in trying them out. Download?
Hello all! Well yesterday I was looking at an image from EVE online: And it got me thinking... what if we took the skyboxes in sins and make them into something like this ^ Where the Stars become Planetary systems that you jump between and the gravity-wells around the "planet" would become

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="337" id="2811457"] i've had my own file for the normandy waiting patiently for awhile now, in it i didnt use missiles as the primary weapon but instead lasers, but i'm guessing i messed up somewhere. I'll go compare your file and mine and see if I cant find anything. I bet you were figuring it would take a miracle to get the Normandy when you sent me the files yesterday! hehehe.

i've had my own file for the normandy waiting patiently for awhile now, in it i didnt use missiles as the primary weapon but instead lasers, but i'm guessing i messed up somewhere. I'll go compare your file and mine and see if I cant find anything. Thanks (edit) I think i found the issue, i'm using "usesFighterAttack TRUE" on mine. is there anyway to have this and keep it from firing backwards?
Hey zombie, I noticed that when i was using the Normandy that even though I had set it so it could only attack the target its facing in game it would continue to fire backwards after it passed the ship. I'm wondering if its a directional issue with the weapon mesh points or maybe I screwed up the coding. Thanks
wow!! [e digicons]:D[/e] thats awesome! thanks! yea all thats needed now is shiny new texture and it'll be amazing

Sorry if I sound like a person who thinks he knows it all. But if i remember correctly the US Navy which is what the UNSC is based off of calls ships a she, I came to figure this because in the Halo book series
[quote who="SivCorp" reply="1" id="2679590"]what format is the mesh? If it isn't in a standard format, you may need someone with another modeling program to get it remade. I could do that with 3D Studio Max if you want...[/quote] Hey SivCorp, thanks for the offer! and to answer your question It has multiple formats included: 3DS, MAX, and OBJ. Here's the link: http://www.filefront.com/17049679/SSV_Normandy_SR2_v1.0.rar and by the way, th
Hey peoples! I recently downloaded a model of the Normandy SR2 from mass effect from Scifi-meshes.com and have been fiddling around with modeling trying to get it in game. i havent even been able to open it up in xsi in order to attempt to asign mesh points. I take no credit for the model, all credit goes to: Thorreign (aka: matt/mathias) Since i have no experience in modeling i'm really in the dark with what to do here.
yeah we've got some ideas and a few things goin for us, thanks for all the input guys. and if anyone has or knows someone with modeling and or textureing skills any help would be apreciated

[quote who="Caesar914" reply="32" id="2541673"]It makes me really happy to hear you say that's how the combat will be. I definitely don't want to see tiny frigates dying from a dreadnought slug because they're too slow. So does this mean that ships will have a main gun for long range and then GARDIAN lasers for close-up anti-fighter/frigate fire? [/quote] Yeah the GUARDIAN lasers will have limited range and firepower but they will also be able to target fighters. some ships will

thanks people! like the ideas i've seen so far, ive actually implemented a few of them. right now im working on the gameplay of the mod, basicly ive got the foundation done but for now im stuck with vanilla sins meshes till i can get someone to volenteer to model for me.
yeah thats true, im probly gonna make some kind of alpha that uses sins meshes till i get someone to make the actual models. i do have the nifty little mesh resizing tool so that could come in handy
yeah i remember asking about that, danman said he'd look into it but i never got anything back.. oh well I guess it can't hurt to ask again.
