07/04/09 - Star Trek for TA - IS AVAILABLE ON THE NEW FORUM

Oh yeah, just so everyone is aware, these are not to scale yet, as they are still in testing! (yeah this was really just a sneak bump even though I'm not even sure if they are needed any more!)

borg make me scared...

Wow awesome job and cant wait!

Hey Renfl. Where did you find that cool wallpaper to your computer?

Good job guys. Too bad you can't smack spleeze and wake him up, he'd be a great addition to your ship design team judging by the shots of the ships he has modded. Are you going to make seperate tech trees or just update the tech tree a little?

Wow. It looks beautiful.

nice! as soon as this is done ill be more than happy to use it

GO MOD TEAM![

Spleeze ships are awesome! I think they really inspired part of the team ,they did atleast for me, but last I heard he's still very busy and hasnt' got the polys down, these poly's will be much lower for a more stable game - and yes a completely seperate tech trees are being worked out....and hmm I think i got the wall paper at www.3d-passion.com, some cool stuff there in their 3d section....currently i'm having a problem with converting these ships correctly, I got the method down but one of the programs i'm using is causing the ships to only be able to hold 1 weapon/propulsion/defense, and well that just plain sucks! But Han is helping me out and his all work fine so i'm sure we'll both be putting out tons o ships soon.

Hey Dustin! nice job you make advertising for our Mod ;o)
thats good go on like this *smile*

post all screenshots you can find of us here
the people shall see what we are doing ;o)

hehe, wait until they see whats coming out today - but i think after i put these next ships out i may hold back on most of them for the mod

Thats my good old Disruptor, one of the first steps of my modding career

I thought I show this for people who hadnt see that till now ;o)

This is a preview of our Mod Launch - window
I made it one week ago and the Main menu is finish too ;o)

it's absolutely an awesome job, keep going! i can't wait for it!
i have installed the Enterprise "E" and it look so good!

galactic civilization + star trek = masterpiece!

Awesome job all around. I would like to make a suggestion though, the mod launch window the name is "Doom of the Federation" Sounds a bit cheesy, no offense, perhaps change it to something not so race specific, maybe "The final conflict" or something, I know that sounds cheesy too but just thought I'd make the suggestion. Also, what races are you planning on entering the game? Fed, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, thats 4, any ideas on any others? Hopefully the Dominion/Cards will make it in. Damn, I wish I knew how to model the ships into the game lol. I think I might get the free trial of 3dmax and see if I can figure it out lol

Spectar

Fed, Klingon, Romulan, Borg, thats 4, any ideas on any others?

Actually we do, and Dominion, Cards are up in the running, along with Species 8472, Jem Hadar, Ferengi, or maybe if what I'm hearing is correct all of them.... (Yeah I know, six ships styles)

With the Cheesy part, yeah I agree, but nothing is final yet so hopefully we can edit that. I'd prefer something none race specific as well.

Hey EVERYONE -

If you are interested in not messing up your ships with how the hard points are placed, please use the

Ultimate Design Freedom Mod (UDFM) by Rasori - Its in the Gal Civ 2 website downloads sections and can be used with these ships and any/most other mods. I've put in a reques to him to include the files (there isn't many) in with the ships, but will not do so with out the okay. This is mentioned in the README files also. If I get the okay, i'll edit the above post saying so!

you find Doom of the federation cheesy? :o(
It was sooo much work to get everything into the dxpacks,
mhh ok when you can give me some better ideas...

I thought of Doom of the Federation cause we have a little preconstruct of a campaign we want to do and this matches to the title
and it has a message in it that it will give a crisis with the big Federation...

(sorry but I must defense it ;o) )

Dustin, you could open a topic in our forum with the discussion, which name the mod will have, you have time till 27 august (then I will be back )

I opened a Forum in our Member area "Mod Title Voting "

there are some Ideas which came to my mind while I was reading my Dictionary

Havoc Encounter
Inner Riots
Inner Disturbances
Deceptive silence
Deceptive Horizon
Shadows of Horizon
Deep Horizon

my favorite is Deep Horizon

Be aware: Choosing a Title mean we have to build our story on that

I hope you like these Titles more, making the Launch window and the Main Menu was a hell-work. (This is the Time for applause, nice words or something in that way *Joking*) Am I a good (open for everything) Coordinator? (Dont say something wrong hehe

Sorry, didnt mean any offense for the title, just thought I'd make my feelings known on that, honestly, you can call the title "play this pos" and I dont care so long as the mods as good as it can be. (which judging just by the ships launched is going to be great) Honestly, thank you all for the hard work and great mod!!

What about Cardasian,they are not mentioned...its been some time since i have seen the show and i havent seen last seasons of DS9 and Voyager.Werent they Major power at some time?I think they look cool,bit ugly ships though...

Cardasian ships and race will be available.

Terraner definately can talk about the Title but I'd have to say we should go about it in the exact opposite fashion....lets discuss the storyline we want to put, the outcome we want the player to feel they have at the end of the campaign, and THEN base the plot line off of that...

Well what kind of storyline would anyone else want to see? I mean, your not making a campaign or scenarios are you? So it will basically just be sandbox mode, I would guess the story should be something like this, 3 years after the dominion war, a borg planet is discovered on the edge of explored space. The UFP has had several major members leave (goes into why their minors. Feds mobilize to attack the borg, the Romulans, who have since allied(not so much a alliance as much as sharing some info, tech trading, just basic thing) themselves with the Cards and the Ferengi in a effort to oppose the fed-klingon alliance see this as a oppurtunity to make a premptive strike on several key fed worlds. Back by the Ferengi and Cards they make some good progress, causing several more fed members to leave, the klingons join in the fight. Meanwhile, the Rom-Fer alliance is eventually brought down since it was basically the roms who took planets and the fer are angry they weren't given any of the spoils. Things are further complicated by the arrival of a massive dominion fleet into the alpha quadrant. They immediatly seize bajor and several card border worlds. So now the dom and cards-Roms are at war, the ferengi are basically neutral, they make peace with all major civs and plot the invasion of many of the feds member planets that left (minors). Fed-Klingon are engaged on two fronts with the borg and the romulans. Rom-Cards and engaged with the Feds-klingo and the dominion between them. Things are even further complicated when the fed task force arrive at the borg colony world to find a massive borg-8472 fleets engaged in a battle. (voyager hasn't arrived yet) So the Fed are unsure of what to do, before deciding on a course of action a 8472 ship accidentally fires on a fed causing the feds-borg-8472 into a giant battle. Long read I know, but this is just my take on it. It really prob wont matter what kind of story it has since more then likely you'll start out too small to really think of yourself as one of these major empires that spans hundreds of star systems.

Ferengi Ships have now been added.

You ARE the MAN!!! lol
