Undeleted. Adding Titan Class to entrenchment.

it was attempted in the early times of the original

but it really messed up the game and was abandoned

Check with ManSh00ter.  He's incorporating a Titan-class ship and what he terms a Citadel into his mod, The Last Stand.  It has yet to be released, but I believe he's worked everything out.

And an SSD is in SOGE

yeah but theres the space station -.-

lol Starbases... I don't think they count as ships... those are more like a very large version of a weapons platform which has abilities and a heck of a lot more firepower, minus the Vasari Starbase of course cause that can actually move within the gravity well. Of course it can't phase jump... also... there is a class below the Titan class that has been left out...

Dreadnoughts, smaller assualt ship that is larger then a battleship class... though the Titan class is the largest war vessel you can get in most Sci Fi... though there is one larger class... which is Levathan class which is MUCH larger in scale compared to a Titan but that also depends on which Sci Fi universe your looking at

Man. Thing is, Last Stand and SOGE are total conversions! =( I just want a supership for TEC, Advent and Vasari.

The Last Stand isn't a total conversion.  He's only adding races and technology to what's already in the game.  If you really want it and can't find it, then learn the skills.  It's how almost everyone else around here has done it; I know that's how I started.  You could make it simple and just supersize one of the existing capital ships, increase it's stats, give it more powerful abilities, and tack on a load of research pre-reqs.

Oh, I th ought Last Stand was Total conversion. And I tried to 'learn the skills,' the modeling tutorial/tools link is broken. =P I don't know  where else to start.

Ah... want to learn to mod and do models eh? I suggest you visit this place. they have lots of stuff that can get you started

click on the forum and register and then ask around a bit and they'll show you to the right place. I can tell you I didn't regret it though I haven't pumped out anything as of late due to RL

Uh, that site seems to be down- I don't know how to ask for help. x.x

my suggestion was to give each pirate base one ship like the one suggested here.  Then the lag could go down form those large fleets.

no the site isn't down, I just checked, click on the FORUMS tab on that page and then register. And asking for help is easy... lol

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/332457 this is an old mod but i'm sure there's an updated version somewhere on the forum

Sadly, there is no updated version. He seems to have vanished.

And 'cos I have the Stardock version, I can't uninstall sims, go back, and install without the patches.

Oh god... that mod... ugh... I relaly think that guy made that mod just for people who have really good computers... having all the stuff that's going on in that mod is what made it fail so hard. Puts such a huge strain on your computer that the game slows down even on small maps... I've posted about it before that it isn't a suggested mod for people with lower end computers...

but enough bashing...

as for the titans in the mod... yes... those could work... maybe

See, his mod- At least his 'Titan" meshes, from those pics? The TEC one just... doesn't fit well. to me.

Gah, what tools do I need to try and figure this out for myself? x.x

Try Wings3d, look it up on google, it's a free 3d modeling program and it fits perfectly with the amount of poly count that Sins can handle. As for meshes and skins for the ships... I can't help there... I've yet to make it even that far

You can use Wings3D to make your models, but you will need to export it to a program that can export to xsi. SoftImage  (SoftImage Mod Tool - free version) or Blender are the only 2 programs, that I know of, that can nativelly Export to .xsi. Wings3D and other programs may have plugins that allow them to, I'm not sure. But if not then you will definitly need either SoftImage or Blender.

Gimp 2.6 (free) is a great program for doing textures, But there are numerous others like Photoshop, Zbrush, 3Dpaintbrush to name but a few, if you got the cash to spend. Your finished result will need to be in dds. format so a plugin will also be needed for Gimp & Photoshop. I'm not sure wether the other progams need a plugin as I have not used them.

On a side note: I have finished the pre-liminary structure of a mod that does add extra capitals (1 for Each race). Whilst they are not what you would call Titan class, they are more powerful, and my aim was to make them fit in to the SoaSE game how it is now. It still needs a bit of touching up texture wise and I havn't added a theme load up screen or anything like that to it yet. You may find it helpful for your mod and you are welcome to use it / parts of it to make yours. So is anybody else for that matter. It is only for Diplomacy 1.011 though, so that is needed

It can be downloaded from here; http://www.mediafire.com/file/uzjonihjnnr/Eclipse, Hidden Alliance's.zip

Another thing I almost forgot to mention was "Google Sketchup" you can use for making models. It does'nt export as xsi. but does export to obj. which SoftImage and I think Blender can import. Google3D warehouse has some spaceship models free to use, if you wanted to add those also.

I'm Making a mod that will add titans. But it is not due for awhile and other than mine I dont really know of one that just adds titans to the other races.

Ok good news i was going though some old files and find a mod with titans that works with Ent 1.041. Msg me your e-mail and i'll post it too whoever wants it.

please! Gimme!

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the link. Enjoy.

A friendly warning to the mod above, it is far from pollished and I am not sure if it works with the newest entrenchment. On another note I have been working on a new "titan" race, but there is still quite some work to do.
