[MOD] SoaSE: BORG INVASION

from Sins Forums
As you have probably guessed, the point of this mod is to add the Borg to Sins. I have already done quite a bit of work on the mod, but now find myself in need of help from anyone who would like to contribute model and/or texture work.

The Borg will be comprized of:
Cubes, Spheres, Diamonds, and Assimilated versions of the ships of other races. 

There will be a Starfleet faction included in the Mod which will use the excellent ships created by Ezraeil.


Some of what is still needed...

A Tactical Cube
Borg-style looking stations like ship factories, Military/Civic Stations, etc.
Support ships such as Construction, Trade, etc.

I also welcome any other great ideas for Borg that might be included in the Mod




Beta release is coming soon, here's a teaser screenshot:

The advent cap ship Rapture has the ability domination that takes over ships of other races you could base assimilation off that. But you'll have to change the texture after to make it borg looking (no idea how).

Which one is going to be the colony cap ship anyways? A variation of the cube?

here's a question:

does any know if we can make the Borg a separate race...
not just replacing the Vasari or Advent?

I am replacing some TEC with Starfleet ships, rebalancing all races,
and it would be sweet to have a 4th race option: Borg.

why not keep the diamond cube powerful but keep it down to a max of 1 time as its really a flagship anyway like the enterprise E.

Draven:
Ok, I have stayed away and looked on from afar for long enough.

Count me in, and I bring my team with me.
Heck, Startrek was on the list anyways!

Ok, just my two cents. The ability from HammerSun's mod works great, and I was thinking Borg all the way while I was playing it.

Secondly, making new races...is my specialty. If you want the Borg, or the Federation as a separate race, I can do that.
I was going to do it anyways once I merged Ezraeil's mod with mine.

Now, my main focus will be with 7 DEADLY SINS, but I would be glad to offer my services here too, and I am sure that my team wouldn't mind the challenge.

Let me know what you want to do.

hey dreaven,

Had to go out of town the last couple days so I didn't have time to work on any modding but I did do a borg tactical cube hull plating and all. no texture yet but I did finally get illumination to work finally with "photoshop elements 3.0".

I will post some views of the tactical if you like it you can have it.

I am making some stations but am unhappy with them so far but I will post some previews soon.

What about the idea of making it similar to some of the components from voyager when you see the unimatrix along side the transwarp hub. Just trying to throw out ideas to get juices flowin

I thought the tactical cube was the pinnacle of borg ships.

And i thought the regular cubes were like cruisers compared to the tactical cubes?

Hey all,

Just wanted to touch base so you'd know I hadn't died or anything.

Not much to update yet. I have been testing and playing around with the Mod as it is now, trying to fix some issues.

diresaint,

That work you're doing on the meshes is excellent. Any idea when you'll have the texture for the Diamond completed? Or are you, like me, waiting for Ezraeil's texture tutorial?

waiting on the tutorial from EZ.

I have been working on some things myself If you would like I can rar the files and pm you the dl address.

Its actually the entire mod but far from done, maybe you could see if you want anything from it and use it for your main mod?

let me know.

Any idea when this mod is going to be ready for download? I'd love to see a good strategy game with the Borg as a playable faction.

Assimilated starships of all sorts would be great. This is how the borg should build a fleet actually. Once they have enough ships assimilated another cube can be built.....

the assimilated ships must turn into something a bit different though, twisted looking as they are upgraded

did this die with entrenchment?

Reply #70 from Sins Forums Top

No it died when Lokis borg add on was merged with SoA 2. Look at the dates This topic is almost a year old.
