Federation and Empire

Federation and Empire

This had begun as a collection of starships based upon the Star Fleet Universe and other sources and has now evolved into the development of a full complete mod.

What you can expect to see:
9 custom major races to choose:
United Federation of Planets; Klingon Empire; Romulan Star Empire; Kzinti Hegemony; Lyran Star Empire; Hydran Kingdom; Gorn Confederation; Tholian Holdfast; and the Interstellar Concordium.

8 Custom minor races.

Custom technology trees and weapons set up for each race.
Custom player useable shipstyles for every race.

2 Custom Immense Maps: "Federation and Empire" and "The General War"

Custom Campaign: "ISC Invasion"

Starship sets are being developed now and available for use here:

http://library.galciv2.com/index.aspx?a=2985422

I gladly accept ideas for this mod and collect ships that you make to add to the ship sets. Feel free to share your ideas. I'd love to see your screenshots as well.

Hey guys, first off let me say great work. I am brand new to GC but played F&E and SFB for years. What you guys have done so far is great stuff.

Question for you though. You mentioned that the Lyrans were in the Library, but I am not finding them. Can someone post a link or let me know where to locate them? Thanks.

Can't wait for the full mod.

They were uploaded but not approved yet. Thanks for the interest. More to come.

Your welcome. Some ships of course have no models to off of so I try to do whatever my brain tries to come up with.

I got 3 uploads awaiting for approval. 4 if I can get the Tholians done today.

I am trying not to do 24th Century ships but this Valdore class warbird is in the expansion pack:

Do you have access to the old SFB ship damage forms (they had an actual name but it escapes me). They were basic forms that were used during the playing of the Task Force Games Star Fleet Battles game. Wouldn't those at least give you general shape?

I might have some of those forms still around, so if you need any let me know and I'll see what I can do to help. I have no artistic talents though so don't look for desgin help. :)

I'll have to send more pics though unless you want to finish making the events. BTW what do you think of them.

I have the Federation Commander ones which have the shapes on them. What I am refering to is that they didn't make ships for say colony or spore or mining . . . usually. So I have to make them up from scratch. I make these hulls because I want people to be able to use the ship sets to set against the normal galactic civilization races. That's why I upload a set as soon as its done so you guys can play with them right away.

Look good so far. Let me know when you upload you updated ships. If you get the set done I'll promise that the Geckodons will appear as a minor race. :) They have nothing to do with Federation and Empire but they'll appear.

I did upload the ships pack yesterday, but I forgot to save them as templates. Also we'll have to wait for it to be approved which won't be anytime soon.

So I take it the approval process is not that quick? :LOL:

If you need any additional help with things, let me know and I can see what I might be able to help with.

LOL, the Tholians are weird because they're half living rocks half bugs. But the weirdst part is, they make noises like dolphins. Really retarded if you ask me.
Reply #618 Top
Tholians are done and uploaded to Library for approval. And I'm exhausted. Here is a screenshot showing the player useable shipstyle works:

all thats left is the Hydran Kingdom and the Interstellar Concordium. do you have all of the races done or not.
Reply #621 Top

But then there are some minor race right?
Reply #624 Top
And I must say that so far this is my favorite ship that I have designed. The Paravian Battlecruiser. You should see this ship moving in a battle. I think it may serve as a possible core design for the Romulan Winged Defender.
Reply #625 Top
Yes but except for the ones that Atlas has been putting together they need only 1 hull per size. So no worries.

Some minors use ships by the other empires too. Like LDR uses Lyran.
