I refuse to move on! They'll have to rip the keyboard from my dead, cold hands! :-)

I'll probably be playing/tweaking it until I can't move my fingers from the arthritis, but then I'll have a direct interface to my brain...

Im with you Hard_Damage. But legacy is not out yet.(I may be wrong, dont attack me) And this mod(new game) will be free for downloading.


Anyone you would like to help out/give suggestions/apply for team(you'll almost immediately be accepted)/submit something you would like to see in the mod, please email me at Skuitar15@aol.com Thank you in advance.

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 
If you want to look at it by this standard, then I can tell you that Legacy will be released well before you get this MOD completed. Even if you get your team, to make this MOD "that good" it'll take ages, Legacy isn't going to take that long, and will be released first.

With that, people will simply play that rather than Armada II (regardless of MOD's). Also, I never said that we are all moving on, I'm well with Armada II, there is loads to be done with the game yet. I am simply stating that a lot of people who were involved with the game, are no longer about because they lost interest.

It will probably be out before any major mod goes from conception to realization.

You said "a new game, not a mod." Does that mean you are not going to use A2 at all?

Professional-looking games by fans are possible [Babylon Project], but that's extremely rare. That's the *only* example I can come up with, actually.

As others already pointed out, it's unlikely very talented people will commit a lot of time they don't have to something they know nothing about. That just doesn't happen. You are setting yourself up.

On the other hand, if you spend that time learning to create your own mods, at least you'll end up with what you create, and the knowledge you accumulated along the way.

The only thing I am setting myself up for is a great experience and a finished product that will hopefully surpass others expectations for it. As I've said I'm not giving up. But I'm glad alot of people care about this subject and are speaking their mind. I'm just gonna give it my all and hope y'all like it. And there are some(rare as they are) people who aren't busy with a mod) and I even if they aren't the best their help could be put to use somehow.

Massive ,
Massive,
Massive amounts of work, to achieve what you are doing, the campaigns alone will take months (iam still working on dark reflections trying to make it bug/error free and I know what Iam doing !!!), so good luck with that, and I just pray you havent bitten off more than you can chew .......

Re: Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!
 
first: i am still playing a2 although athritis has gotten into my hands for a long, long, time *cough*
but i play a1 and afc III as well, so legacy will add up to the canon, not replace the older games entiely....

as for the mod: why then dont you start with a smaller project? doesnt have to be ANOTHER sov. just think of something more original, as you wanted your A3 to be anyway.

and then new/changed missions (and for that no new models would be neeeded) would be something this community would go nuts for (paul did this, look them up, though they are not bug-free). as he said, month of work, but that would be an outstanding project to do. a tutorial for mission-editing is for dl here too.

and people: J7 and me sorted our trouble out. anyone is still alive. yes, that was off-topic. :bows:

I dont really have eagerness towards anything else except this mod for now.

IN another matter

-Mod news

Im deliberating on adding a new race to the mod called The Ganean(Ja-nee-in) empire.
http://skaters-domain.com/Untitled-1.jpgThe whole story is finished which explains their existance in this mod. But I will save that for the website that will be up
pretty soon: Most likely called STarmada3Mod.com. I dont want to leave you totally hanging though so here's a basic overview. The Ganeans are human and not an agressive race, avoiding conflict as much as possible. They ally with the Ferengi in order to gain neutrality in the system. The Ganean are a spiritual race who base their empire on a very high quality of life. They were the most adept in resource collection in their time(the future) peiod. And their life creating technology is coveted by all. They are not a biomatter based race like this suggests, although they do use biomatter along with all the others(resources),if this is possible.

Their ships style is mostly a mix of the smooth ships of the federation but with a slight pinch of cardassian construction. They defend their resources with extreme force. Ganeans are mostly friendly as long as they are left in peace. Although somewhat of pacifists, if provoked they will defend theirselves with the utmost extremence.

Also, I received permission from Major Payne that I may use the models in His Borg Incursion Mods as long as all credits from them are included. Mostly they will have different purposes as Sta3 is trying to be as original as possible. Also the Noxter will most likely NOT be included not just because of permission conflicts but they will not have a use in the storyline. I am also going to include a race for multiplayer purposes only that the a2 community influences heavily. They will be made so anyone who has a good idea for a race to be realized they may do so in this mod. Granted it is only one race it will probably be a convergence of different ideas from you guys. That way almost anyone can have a part in the mod. Just email race ideas you would like to see in the mod or you can email it to me if you like.

-:) peace all
