Default Star Craft Armada

Basically, I've come up with a few ideas. Nothing off of paper yet, but that's alright for now. What I've got in mind is a basic TC for A2. Really, all I need help with are are ship models and getting authentic sound effects from Star Craft. I've got basic concepts for weapons, which a may need a few sods for. Of course the Protos will have shields and Terrans and Zerg will just have their hulls. The only worries as to authenticity will be with the ships themselves. There just weren't many ships in Star Craft including the expansion: Brood War. The way I can see to solve this is to make orginal ship designs that really look as if the Terrans, Protos, or Zerg may have actually used them. When it comes to making ships, there is little if nothing I can do. When it comes to making weapons and setting up a base for this mod, I can go pretty far with that.

I ask for help with this from fans of Star Craft. If you can make ships and you are a fan of that game, I would be more than happy to let you help. I can begin on the mod in between STA2.5 Beta and the final; I will also be able to work on it after I complete the STA2.5 project. Hopefully, I can get a small dedicated team to help with this. I'll try to keep in contact with whoever helps out, but I can forget pretty easily.

Draconis. Whilst this is a good concept (I've had this in mind myself but for A1), your going to face two problems:

1) Lack of units. Whilst each side has got a couple of flying units your going to be stuck for a full set, as you've already pointed out. One possible solution for you to think about is a kind of warhammer 40k, and give infantry units jetpacks of some sort for the terrans.
2) Blizzard are incredibly protective, still, of anything to do with starcraft, and I do know that someone attempted to do a C&C Generals TC based on starcraft but Blizzard issued a C&D order. Since then I'm not sure if the tc is still in the works.

I would say go ahead with it anyway, and good luck.

Thankyou for the advice. I'm taking some time to think of a strategy.

No, I won't really start this thing up until I get several people to help work on it. I need modellers, sound artists, and a few other misc. types.
