Star Trek unit preview thread

[Flamand]

No news from him yet... I would like to have some extra Romulans, early Klingons, early Cardassians and any of the minor races he has. I'm not sure if we need all that, but I could use it to fill some gaping holes here and there... The early Klingon fleet is still not right, still have to change it a bit. The later fleet are complete according to Thor. The Romulans only have 3 fleets instead of the 4 they deserve...

Flamand,
2063 is a very long time away. I'll be 77 years old. Not exactly a young pup.

 

[Flamand]

Perhaps late 2006 for the gametests and early 2007 for the release... But I use the principle of elastic deadlines, so no promises!

 

[sum_aar_jam]

Elastic Deadlines. I like it. If only my teachers believed in them too

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Well I PM'd Jig, and he's definitely received the message. He didn't reply though.

He knows what you're after Flamand, so I doubt it'll be too long a wait...

 

[Flamand]

Oh well, you did your best...

Alrighty the moment everyones been waiting for. The Dominion War mod that I have been working on for the past year is done. After realizing that I have a 10 page history assignment due the 29th of this month, I figured that I better get it done. Well all the units, resources, improvements, wonders, and such are all set on the map. Civilopedia entries are done for all the improvements and wonders and some of the units and none of the techs . I want to get the rest of the entries done before I release it.

Now the bad news. Its a giagantic map with huge files. It takes about 15 minutes to upload (but remember this is a War, the largest to hit both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, this is not some little battle) Every civ has their own tech tree, units, improvements and wonders. THis accounts for the slow load up time, that and all the units starting on the map. There are also bugs that need to be worked out which I will do and production and tech issues that I will iron out. Also and the worst news, is that I have Zero unit making abilities and everyone else is busy to make em. So there are just pictures representing the unit and not animations. Gotta go to class. Mod should be up next week, depends on how far I get on my 10 page history paper.

Chow all

 

[Flamand]

Well, if your mod can wait I can give you some of my units when I finish them. If you give me a list of what you I can also take your mod into accout in the order in which I make the next units...
I'll start making new ones again in a couple of days...

 

[sum_aar_jam]

Needed animations
Klingon units: A vor'cha cruiser, a K'T'Inga, a D5, and a Raptor
Romulan units: A D'Ridren, a D'Renet
Federation units: A Nova, a Nebula, and a Sabre
This is all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll look on my mod for more info.

 

[Flamand]

Those are all on my todo list, doing the Klingon fleets at the moment...

 

[Flamand]

I'm starting again. Here's the Federation F-111 fighter...

@Thor: could you please email me the Klingon TOS fleet? I've been trying to catch you online, but no succes so far...

 

[Stormrage]

Its cute good to see you`re back to work

 

[Thorgrimm]

Flamand, sorry for taking so long getting the next batch converted, but being a single dad I had to devote more time to my 5 year old boy. Sorry about that, but the TOS Klingons are ready. I should be on Yim most of the day today. Lil Bud not withstanding!




Cheers, Thorgrimm

The last ship for the Feds: the Endeavour class carrier.

Another excellent unit Flamand. Though my timebudget is quite limited at the moment, I am reguarly visting the thread, and really looking forward to the mod.

I am really exited about seeing the rest of the fleets. Especially the Klingon, Dominio and Romulans. Eventually the Breen could also have at least 3 fleets over the timeperiods. I think they should be seen as a major power aswell. Though I am aware, that the ressources for Breen shiptypes are quite limited.
Maybe its possible to make them more generic, like in Atrocities ST Mod for Space Empires IV. While the latest Breen shipdesign is pretty clear to all of us, the former (ENT, TOS) are not easy to make up.

Well whatsoever, I seem to have lost, what I wanted to say.

 

[Flamand]

Thanks Mentat. Anything you can do to contribute is welcome...

Zephram Cochranes Phoenix, an unarmed early scout... (thanks ZDarby!)

I could be asked first before this was done, since you didn't want to do it originally as well, but I was abscent(and will be agian for a while) I guess...Anyway, it's nice work, I'll still do mine that took ages to model, but in any case.

 

[Flamand]

I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware that you claimed the rights to make certain units... Besides, that preview is over 2 months old...
The unit list for this mod is not fixed and undergoes regular changes as Thor and I see fit. We will need to include a number of basic ground units as well to make realistic battles over planets. But making humanoids is clearly not my strong point and I gratefully leave that to you, if we can use some of those units for this mod... Feel free to use any units from this mod for the Federation mod...

 

[Mentat]

Hi Flamand, since I am working on a shipset for the Vulcans right at this time, I can again offer you the data and sources for those shipclasses.

[Flamand]

That would be most welcome... You can send it to my email agian...
