Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach. 

 

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Which cylon ship is going to be able to colonize? The basestar?

Research Facilities
End of Cylon_Luvr's quote

It's the Resurrection Ships Research Facilities ability. As you know Cylons don't really colonize planets, but they did use them to setup various research projects. 

 

Reply #1129 from Sins Forums Top

Well the nasty part of getting the colonial research trees templated out and tied to the right icons is done. Now the grunt work of filling in what the research actually does and making sure the names and descriptions are set. Also will need to build a few research based abilities too.

I was hoping I could get this out but because many of the research have no underlying implementation I can't do it.

When I get some base values stubbed in for the Colonial research I feel fine releasing it even if it's not fine tuned.

this is back a couple of pages, but don't you think a re-spawn for destroyed Basestars in a system is a little OP?

Not really, no. why?

Reply #1133 from Sins Forums Top

besides the fact that the cylons wont have to worry about 30-50% of their forces getting blown up. any battle against them would only be a temporey win. even worse is if they don't need resources to respawn theses basestars then it would be like fighting the undead on warcraft 3 with them having an army of necromancers. unless I missed anything about restrictions on the respawn, but from what I read it seemed that the Hub would instantly respawn any destroyed basestar at it's location. 

 

 

p.s sorry for the spelling its about 3:30am here.

The restriction is having to build a superweapon to get the effect.

In the end this only amounts to a small economy buff for the cylons as they'll be Resurrected at level 1.

 

Reply #1135 from Sins Forums Top

a small economy buff? I find your definition of small to be fairly big. considering that cap ships cost on the order of 3k credits along with their crystal and metal cost. if they're being re-spawned for free (ignoring the hub cost). you can build a few ships for the cost of one cap. coming back at lvl 1 is hard coded anyway.....i think?

a cunning player wanting to lvl a titan would find out were the hub is, stick a fleet there and repeatedly blow up basestars as they re-spawn.

They'll need it as their economy won't be anything near the colonials.

It's not nearly as OP as you make out.

I don't think that it will be too OP. It will reflect the show very well i.e. if you want to destroy resurrection, then destroy the Hub. The Resurrection Hub could also be very expensive relative to superweapons for other races and there is a restriction on how many you can build. 

Considering that a majority of the Cylon war fleet consists of basestars....  and basestars are going to be cap ships where you can only have a very limited number... will there be a weaker version of the basestar that can be built as a frigate, like Kyogre12's version? 

Reply #1138 from Sins Forums Top

Resurrection hubs will have a small chance to respawn frigate and cruiser class Basestar variants on death (Light, Long Range, Siege, Carrier, Heavy). 

Capital class Basestars will have a 100% chance to resurrect when a resurrection network is in place. Destroy the hub in that system and they lose resurrection.

most llikely it will crash, but test it if you want.

if it works initially I wouldn't count on any long term stability. 

I have no estimate on when a 1.04 version will come out.

 

Reply #1143 from Sins Forums Top

Unless you have any plans to use SttC, it takes a few seconds to get a mod up to 1.04 standards. Other than a minor gamplay.constants change, here's an example of the planet file change. Bolded is the new line that needs to be added to planet files:

planetRuinDef
    ruinPlanetType "PlanetAsteroidBeltOuter"
    attachType "Center"
    effectName "Weapon_EmpireCapitalPlanetBombing_Hit"
    startTime 9.000000
    soundID "EXPLOSION_SUB4"
    creditsOnStrippedToTheCore 2000.000000
    metalOnStrippedToTheCore 750.000000
    crystalOnStrippedToTheCore 6700.000000
    extraScuttleTimeOnStrip 200.000000
ShieldMeshName "SuperShield"

Hey Lavo, my issue isn't Rebellion 1.04 compatibility really as I've been working in 1.04 since it released.

My issue is I started tearing down the research trees and creating all new before 1.04 came out and haven't finished yet.

Hence I don't know when I'll release a 1.04 compatible version and won't spend any time updating the previous version.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, that's a nice beast in and of itself, apologizes for my stupidity in missing that.

I should have a beta ready for Colonials shortly after the next patch is released. It won't be complete which is fine, because I would like some feedback on them for changing or improving abilities, stats, etc.

Best bet would be to wait for me...

 

I've thought about opening up the Blood & Chrome mod a bit and add some team members giving them some creative responsibility to define the underlying implementation for the abilities that are mainly rough sketched out at this point.

If some people showed some interest in doing that it might help speed up some things. Otherwise my free time is closing down due to work related projects eating up any of it I had.

A little creativity would help as I'd probably assign something like a Titan and it's ability concepts and tell you to come up with something cool for the associated buffs. Basically you wouldn't get to design different abilities from the concept I laid out, but you would get a lot of freedom in deciding what they do.
