just do what you heart tells you to do ;)

Re: Save Apocalypse!?
 

Good idea, but i want to get the ships sorted before i start on the buildings, i have a number of Son'a buildings in thought, just i need a Collector (which is being done) and another conversion - but good idea none the less - will think about it!

@ Elrond - if your telling me not to give up my MOD, then i'm telling you not to give up yours

What do you mean by that? I sense a little Sarcasm there, would i be right in assuming this?

@ Elrond - thats a lot your giving up there mate, i'll take that under thought also, although i recently read on a2files that you, draconis and jolteon are doing a MOD togeather!? - i wouldn't want to slow that down as if a2.5 is anything to go buy with weapons / textures and ships etc it should be good. - good luck with that you three!

@ everyone else, i guess its thanks for the positive comments! (even the sarcastic ones), if i do continue, you will have to be paicent, even with help like what Elrond has laid out it will take time, ships and stations is all i have at the moment (plus physics, bitmaps & buildbuttons) AI, Weapons, Special Weapons, Sprites, Tech Files - all is to be continued, there are also certian .odf files i haven't touched yet!

I'll keep you all posted! There are five ships in the process, Collector, Galor MKI + MKII, Son'a Battleship MKIII & Prometheus! (others may arise) and there is also the big problem of an eigth race! Anyway, thats all i have to say for now!

PS: Maybe someone could have a look at maybe the Vidiian ships? - or (another idea) i know i am trying to keep this as Trek (canon) as possible, but 24th Century Xindi Ships??? (TMP, TNG & DS9)! (would be a nice eigth race)!

Yeah, I don't think I would give it up completely, but I could help you get some stuff done in your mod a little quicker if I can find some stuff in my mod you can use. I have the Universal Armageddon mod and my own personal mod that I use just to test stuff and put as much as I can in it. :lol: There are 300+ Federation ships in the personal mod, which is being reduced to 40 at the most on my UA mod. Out of 300+ Federation ships, I can help you there. I made a Klingon Bird of Death (converted it) for Greathor's Klingon Compilation mod and Joelteon7 and I are planning on doing a compilation for another race. One those two are finished, there will be Ghost's Federation Comp Mod, Greathor's Klingon Comp Mod, and our * Insert CLASSIFIED race here * Comp Mod. ANd then there will be Draconis', Joelteon7's, and my mod, then there will be the Universal Armageddon Mod, and then there will be the Universal Armageddon: Apocalypse Now! Mod :p. Then there's CaptSyf and Majestic doing the combined Federations/Mirror Wars Mod, then the A1 Future Tense mod, then the A2 Fleet Ops 3 mod, etc. There's like 20 mods coming out within the next year. It's going to definitely take a toll on site space for armadafleetcommand and armada2files. But it sure is worth it. When I put these mods up on armada2files, I'm certain it will take a long time, even with Cable, to upload them, but that will all be worth it.

Anyway, we can discuss the details of the Apocalypse Mod when the details become available. I might email you a list of ships I have - and screenshots for ones you may not have seen. If you want, you can get a ship and station list together (pretty much just by copying the techtree you have so far) and I can see what you have as of now. The odf files are the simplest to edit, we all know that. But in a manner, they are also the most tedious - to have a good balance or rather a canon balance between the races is one thing that is always so hard. Everytime I rebalance my ships, stations, and weapons, there's always something that I have to recalibrate to make sure that everything is canon. In truth, it's almost impossible to be completely accurate on those things. That's why I can show you so far what I have as far as odf files and vice-versa so that we know where we are going and what standard weapons power and ship strengths are.

Please don't direct comments towards me, I really don't like that.

Re: Save Apocalypse!?
 

I'll let you know Elrond, at the moment its a simple case of getting the ships and stations togeather, once i've done that then the real help will be needed. Also, you mentioned about balance, well let me tell you now, in Apocalypse balance will not be an issue as there will be none! This game will be decided on the player, not the AI skill!

Re: Save Apocalypse!?
 

Well, as in balance, I sort of mean balance of misbalance - the Borg will be canon - which means they can decimate fleets of starships instead of having one Sovvy blow it up! :p The Borg cubes (and other larger ships) however will take longer to build and can be bigger (canon size of 3000 meters instead of what looks little bigger than a Sovvy).

Re: Save Apocalypse!?
 

Yea, thats what i ment! Borg will be tough but will take ages to build as will the better ships (IE: Sovereign and Negh'var) compared to the NX & D7 will be a huge difference in the build times, likewise, the Sovereign and negh'var will be might powerfull compared with the NX & D7 (but the Cube will still rule them all)!

Re: Save Apocalypse!?
 

I have quite a good many Borg ship's I've made, a few Andrew_of_Borg made (the Dominator, Cuboid, Fusion Cuboid), etc. I made a Super Fusion Cuboid and an Ultra Fusion Cuboid. The Ultra Fusion Cuboid takes a long time to build. It's been hard for me to get the fusion for larger ships to work without setting avoidMe = 0 on those ships. To build the Ultra Fusion Cuboid takes an hour or more - and some of the missions take at least that long. The Borg will have to build up to that point before they are able to begin construction on their ultimate weapon. There are two sets of Borg races - the good Borg (Queen 0001) and the bad Borg (Queen 0002, 0004). The strongest unit is the first queen's ship, which can defeat most all other ships but can be defeated by an Ultra Fusion Cuboid and a Super Fusion Cuboid. Some ships may only be available as hero units. If you want to see some of those Borg units, I can show you them. Good luck. :)
