Star Trek Armada 3 mod!!!

April 16th, 2006 12:44 PM

First off i am requesting this being on armada2.filefront.com. Basicly this will be the next chapter in the st armada series. Everything will be changed. The 3d plane will be kept but slightly lessened. There is no storyline yet but it will probably be along the lines of the ..well i don't know yet. But one of the key features is that each race will be like its own game entirely and will be unique in the most extreme manner of the word. It will be complex and will introduce a new level of strategy than ever achieved an any other mods/versions.
I have all the skills neccesary for this except moddeling(working on it),wireframes(also working on it)and Texturing. I also will need graphics specialists(as they will be called) for weapons, nebulas, etc. But what I need the most is moddelers. I need the best of the best for this, as I expect it to rival the software companies own releases. But any moddelers committed will do. I am mainly wanting Major A Payne, westworld, and some others whose name escapes me. If you think your skills would be belpful, then email me at skuitar15@aol.com
ANY ideas models submiitted for use or any ideas. Or anything else is greatly appreciated. I will soon be requesting permission from some modders for usage of their innovations (as i like to call them).

The races will bet he originals(enhanced beyond fathomableness) and totally new races. Species 8472 will have been eliminated.(as in the planned stroyline i am working on) and replaced by the advanced Noxter. Or even the noxter and 8472 will join forcees and combine into one race. I may also make a new race like the ferengi but with ultimate trade and resource collection capabilities. And since they are a peaceful race they will naturally be targeted by the newly advanced borg. The timeline is aound 150 years after armada 2.
I may keep jean luc picard as the representative for the federation. He will have undergone assimilation from the borg during a lone exploration mission. And he was the test subject of new borg assimilation technology. He was eventually rescued by admiral pureethis from the USS Constitution> He recovered but the federations most advanced scientists could not reverse the newly discovered process completely. As a result he is now infused with cybernetic technology and has withstood the sands of time so far. he now has a an advanced armor compatible promethus class of his own. I'll have more as I am still developing it.

well serveral things really

1) to use the name armada 3 mod I would advice trying to contact "Yacuzza" whoes own mod had a name like this.

2) Modding Missions is very difficult, only one person has done it with any degree of skill (Paulhansel)

3) As this is obveiously your first project, I would advice making some smaller mods first and release them get a feel for modding on the community.

4) Westworld left the a2 community several years ago, Major A Payne works alone generally, and has a lot of other thigns to do. As for other modellers and Texturers, they are few and far between. Rarer still are modders with knowledge of sprites and a good understanding of AI modding.

5) I would get a better idea of what you want in this mod and then come back to us with your ideas.

I have made smaller mods for myself. As i said it is still in development. I have ideas and have already begun working on it.There is sufficient information here to know the basics of the mod. The missions are the last step in the mod and hopefully by then paulhansel will be on the team for that.

As for the name, it hasn't been officially decided yet. I will contact yacuzzi anyway though. And i have contacted westworl about this directly and im trying to get a little help from him

You underestimate me greatly admiralryan.

I think Ryan was just giving you some friendly advice. To be fair, we haven't seen your work, so we can't exatly believe leaps and bounds.

I disagree about there being sufficant infomation, you haven't said exactly what races are to be included, the storyline behind to mod, what special features this mod will have, what things will it change ect

I would strongly advice getting all this info in detail first

yes, this is mearly my friendly advice and experienced oppinion

I know what you mean. I am not excelled in the ways of modeling. As soon as I get to my computer at home later. I will submit some things I have done.
And screenshots.

I have lurked in the shadows. Observed you without you even knowing.
I sit and wait. Now I am coming out with a bang and something big is coming. Something big. As i told admiral ryan, Don't underestimate me. I have been modding this game for well forever. Big things are to came big things. But the slower you are to get this thing going the longer it is going to take.

I need a team d###it.!

EDIT: Wow, most of this post seems to be a tad negative. I'm not against this, I'm just voicing concerns etc.

Hm, well I (like most people) don't believe anything til I see it, but I'll be keeping my eye on this just in case. Isn't it a bit over-the-top to call it "Armada 3" though? It'd better be good.

The Noxter are a Fleet Operations invention, have you asked their permission to use them?

By the way, there are parts of your attitude which might come across badly to some people. The whole "I have lurked in the shadows. Observed you without you even knowing." thing isn't a good idea. It's an online community, it's not difficult to avoid being seen. And as for "Don't underestimate me." you're supposed to prove them/us wrong for underestimating you. SAYING "Don't underestimate me" could be seen as being a little cocky. I'm only saying though, I hope I am wrong. But you're gonna have to give a bit more than a few words for people to believe you.

ANYWAY, back on topic, you'll probably need to give more information to get peoples' attention. Like, ideas, concepts, what precisely is going to make this mod stand out from the others?

Okay atlantis.
The lurk in the shadows thing is just a joke. If superstarash said this you'd be laughin about it. I deeply apologize if it comes off as offensive or anything else negative. But thanks for your advice. as soon as i get back to my house I will go a step farther. Right now I'm just getiing everyone hyped up for it.

It's back to work for me.
