Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Heh ok, that's ok then. No need to apologise, i wasn't having a go, i just say any concerns I have so they can be clarified, so we know whether you're joking or not, what you mean, etc. There's a lot of times when people are just misinterpreted. Not your fault, or anyone elses.

Anywho, i look forward to seeing more :-)

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Interesting, like others have said its best to start small and work big. I have been in the community (AFC) since 2000, many others here have been in it longer than I. Show proof of your work. Many modellers/modders are busy with their own projects, I know that MAP is currently working on a new project though I do not know what it is. Others like CaptSyf and myself are working on the Microverse Mods and Parallels. EAS_Intrepid is working on Parallels as well as two other mods, Atlantis has the Microverse mods as well as his own B5 Mod last I heard and the list goes on. There are many who have left the community or at least have slowed down.

Most people these days have their own mod/projects to do and don't have a lot of time to help others out.

I hope this isn't just another Star Trek mod but will indeed be something new and unique.

I wish you luck with it.

Again sorry if I insulted anyone. As for the copyrights I do care. I was just submitting possible ideas. Give me a BREAK people. Anyway here is the constitution class (credits go to fingers for the model, I just added an odf, build button etc.)

This klingon starbease is the property for armada concept future mod and has not been added to the mod. This is just for demonstration purposes only. I will submit a zip file of the const ship with all its includes to filefront. Joelteon look for this as I am doing it now.

Here is th first chapter in the storyline:

Following the ordeal with Species 8472, the Borg and Federation agree to a treaty settling all hostilities between them. (Or so the federation believed) Within this treaty the borg must agree to restrain from attacks of any federation races or her allies. Normally the Borg would have fired up their holding beams at such an agreeance. But leaving fluidic space already weakened, the Borg were met with an armada of federation ships. It was then that Jean Luc Picard and the fleet forced acceptance of the treaty on the borg. For the survival of the collective, the queen reluctantly obliged. The small borg fleet retreated to what was left borg space. They were met by the Ferengi who were busy salvaging a peculiar section of borg debris. The weary Borg moved in closer as the Ferengi scattered, well except for a few small ships too slow to escape. As the Borg sifted through the remains of their once great base, they acquired a piece of dark matter. Further analyzation of this object revealed it was branched off from a collapsed Neutron star. It was said that if made into a weapon, could seperate dimensions of time for hundreds of years. The borg experimented with small pieces of the dark matter but to no avail. After re-assimilation of the Borg Homeworld, one of the new colonies found a lone drone which they believed was a refugee from the war. He was brought to the Borg Queen immediately.
He stated his name was Sophos and he believed he was 276 years in the past. He told the queen that they had created a ship out of the dark matter and were testing prototype special weapons when they were thrown out of the Space-Time-Continuim. His ship was destroyed but he escaped in a pod that landed on the planet.The Queen reavealed the collective's psession of the dark matter. The two formed a pact and began research of another ship using the dark matter.

The rest is coming very soon. But ppl start applying for the mod team please. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Right... With what I am going to say, I apologise for in advance if it comes across as in the wrong respect. I'm just voicing my opinions, and maybe some opinions of others, yet they choose not to say.

Firstly, the name "Armada 3" you wouldn't "really" be able to use. If you look at how much better Armada II is to Armada I, that is what you are going to have to do in order to develop a respectable "Armada III". - So a name change would be ideal here.

Also, you've stated that you wish to do this MOD, yet, just as many others have done in the past, you say "I'm creating a MOD, but I can't model or texture" - let me tell you, very few people have actually said that, and have managed to produce a proper "MOD". Without the skill of modelling and applying textures to that model, you aren't going to get anywhere, let me assure you of that.

As for asking for help from certain individuals. The "professionals" wont help, why? Simply because they are working on big projects themselves, or, simply have no time for the Armada II community as it stands.

The Noxter are a creation from Fleet Operations. You plan to use them, yet they don't let others use their work (under any circumstances) - So you'll be at a loss with them. Your storyline also seems flawed. You haven't even got a solid one, and (for a project with what you are aiming, a storyline is first needed). I've seen a lot of "May's" & "or's".

As for the projects you have done yourself, what are they exactly? You can't really call a few .odf changes as a major achievement, because they aren't. Anyone with Notepad can do "personal projects". You also say how people are underestimating you, we are yet to see you show us anything "remarkable".

As for "modding this game forever" and such, if you had been with it since the beginning, then surely it would be wise to assume that you got bored with the simple things, and went onto modelling and such - this you haven't done, so... with this, I don't think "a couple of months" classifies as "forever".

Also, the picture that you posted (Constitution vs. Outpost) - WOW!! I mean, like that hasn't been done before... But yea, thats me done! I personally don't think anything will come of this. It's happened before with people saying they are going to create a brilliant MOD, then a couple of months down the line, they either say they've cancelled, or simply nothing becomes of it.

I await for you to prove me wrong.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

I will try to prove you wrong:) But you guys are starting to ruin it for me:(

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Well, no one is saying "you can't do it" or "don't do it," it's just that these announcements can only be received with skepticism. Besides, you *are* saying "I'm creating this mod...but I need other people to do the work." How is that "you" creating it, then? I'm just saying, pace yourself, learn the basics, do some work, get good at it.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Well, as for that Klingon Starbase, it's the Unity Station from SFC3. It doesn't belong to Concept Future, as it's an Activision mesh (in fact, that one is the one I converted, years ago, they used mine :-P. So you're free to use it if you like, long as i'm in any credits list).

And nah we're not tryin to ruin it, you'll just get a lot of criticism from this community, everyone does.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

:DFor now it is only *I* creating the mod. My models are not what I want them to be, thats why I need a team. Then it will be *us*. It's impossible to do what I want to do with just one person. It would take way too long.
Thanks Atlantis, it just may be in there. And trust me you'll be in the credits if it is. (I'm to afraid people here would come after me if I didn't, lol )

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Again, not getting you down, but you'll find a lot of MOD Projects start up with a great idea, yet nothing happens because people aren't interested enough.

Many people have had great ideas, yet lack the skill to do anything about it. And with others not jumping in to help, nothing becomes of that idea. An example of this would be my old Apocalypse MOD. The ideas I had for that were outstanding, yet, because of the lack in interest and help, it had to be cancelled.

Now, with that, I've got Zero Hour (my latest MOD) - And again, even though this one isn't yet cancelled, it's going at Snail Pace simply because there aren't that many people willing to help. Everyone either wishes to do their own MOD, or simply can't be bothered.

Armada II is an old game, and a lot of people have moved on.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 

Yes that is why I "would like" to make this mod. Th a2 community needs a new game not just a mod. Thats the purpose of this in the first place. I will work on it even if no one helps because nothing is going to stop me. EVER!
But I really want help with it as 5(or more) people can create something 10 times better than with just one person.
