This looks like the perfect game for a WING COMMANDER mod?

from Sins Forums
Once again judging from the screenies and the community posting here.
This game is fertile ground for so many mods.

Mainly I was thinking

Star Wars - bit over this franchise though
Star Trek - could be good, ships always seemed to be a bit prissy though
Wing Commander - I especially like the ships from the movie that everybody hated. This is a really hard core universe.
Even a Homeworld2 mod - perhaps they come to the worlds of the inner core instead of deep space
Angels Fall First - I hope these guys will harness this game
Babylon5 - some cool ships\sides here
Nexus - some pretty classic ships here too
Warhammer epic ship battles - this could be a very very interesting mod. Consider all the character it could bring to the menus.

Not so much Battlestar Galactica due to lack of ships or even Space Above and Beyond
due to lack of ships in that series.

P.S. Is there a demo out soon?

I forgot starship troopers

yeah that would be very tough since there are just so little ship designs for it.
Siege of Centauri

Personally, one franchise strikes me as a perfect fit -- Freespace.

3 races, plenty of ship variety, and... well... lots of beam action

Gotta admit, it'd be nice to kick some Shivan butt again It definitely has the ship variety, and the mod tools will hopefully allow ships to be scaled (Colossus, Sathanas were.... large) and that could be lots of fun.

To this day, Freespace and Freespace 2 are among the most memorable games I've ever played Still remember the mission briefings, the hectic action, and the Colossus going down to the second Sathanas Not to mention the first mission against Shivans in FS1, where you have to chase that damned Dragon that was quick as hell and try to shoot it with your weapons that barely even tickled its shields And the GVD Hatshepsut was a beeaaaautiful ship.. I could go on.

What about Miles Vorkosigan? In those books the plot has about 35% of space combat, and there are 3 (if not more) big empires (Barrayar, Cetaganda and Jaksonians). So, if you want any more material about Miles, go to link:

Few ships on the Human side, yeah.. but if you throw in Atlantis you can combine the two into enough. You could have your X-302s and Ancient Jumpers as fighters/bombers, Prometheus class (for lack of a better name, I don't believe they ever named that ship class)



The "Prometheus class" was the X-303 if im not mistaken and the "Daedalus class" was the X-304.

And in Atlantis they had the "Orion" which I think was another class, but im not sure.

But It would be cool to see a Stargate Mod.

Wasn't Orion the name of the Ancient Aurora cruiser? Though it may be the other way around

Edit: Oh actually, two of those ships were part of the series. One was probably named Aurora and the other Orion That would make the most sense..

An interesting take on a Star Gate mod would be to have all the players be varying factions of the Goa`uld... the SG1 Humans would be guess what?


The Pirates.... from a series point of view it makes allot of sense, we only really have the one planet, and a few tiny craft but advanced craft, and we got trying to blow up the Goauld mostly for fun.
