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.

A full research tree requires around 140 research tree items. 30-40 of those are common fleet and diplomacy techs so no big deal. The rest all need customization from design (what they do), layout, labels, descriptions, icons.

 

Standard Tech Tree

Combat

Prototype Unlocks

Weapon Upgrades

Durability Upgrades

 

Defense Tree

Starbase, Hangar, Turret Upgrades

 

Non Combat Tree

Colonization Upgrades

Culture Upgrades

Resource/Trade Upgrades

 

Diplomacy Tree

Envoy Upgrades

I wish i could've helped more with that, Z. I would start now, but i leave on Sunday for Boot camp!

Stopping by the forums for probably the last time for many months. Wanted to express how grateful i am for all of your work here on Sins, your mods have made my experience pretty incredible and led to many hours of entertainment.

I hope you keep up the excellent work, and i really look forward to downloading updates and playing at least one round during my break after i graduate at the beginning of March.

They are all available in the SVN. I'm working on Rogue's Titans and research trees right now.

Well, they are my favorite. Some of you guys that love Cylons can put your heads together to layout a research tree design.

Zombies, would it be okay for me to release an addon to SotF .12 that uses stacking to add some Distant Stars-style enhancements to some of the races?

EDIT: .12 doesn't have the extra SVN races in it, so never mind.

Permission granted whenever... I haven't had time to work on the original factions to get them to a release point :(

Reply #1466 from Sins Forums Top

Well, I was planning on doing it mainly for the races I play like the Colonials, Rogues, and Hypercorps, but what's the point if they're only in the SVN and I'd just have to constantly update my files to match your changes?

Reply #1467 from Sins Forums Top

If your using SVN, I broke Flagship victory on purpose. If you select it you'll spawn a titan which the AI won't do anything with. I'm just doing this so I can easily test titan abilities right now without having to constantly spawn one via the debugger.

When I release Rogue later this week I'll change it back to their real flagships of which Rogue will have it's battleship assigned.

Anyone finish off the Blood And Chrome Machinima ?

Reply #1469 from Sins Forums Top

I've finished it.  I can't believe they were actually planning on showing that on TV at one point.

Reply #1470 from Sins Forums Top

they are showing it on T.V. in Feb.

 

Reply #1471 from Sins Forums Top

Did you have to remind me of that unpleasant fact?  I can't believe anyone at SyFy thought this was worth spending money on.  I've already read through a massive thread on another forum about why it is so bad and I don't want to repeat that here, so let me just finally say it is a bad show, you shouldn't watch it, and you're not missing anything good by not watching it.

Reply #1472 from Sins Forums Top

I guess that's why this mod changed its name? Too bad, Blood and Chrome was a good name.

In some ways I wanted to distance myself from Blood and Chrome. I also wanted names that reflected the nature of my mod and it's core concept of fallen empires.

Reply #1474 from Sins Forums Top

Blood, and Chrome may not be that great of a show, but it has a ton of canon material you can use. Like the Orion class battlestar, and the Hybrid Cylon basestar that is a mix of the old and the Guardian base ship. Like with SoA 2 i use what is canon (and makes sense) first before resorting to fan art.

Yeah I got the theme, I just didn't know what Kobol was until I Googled it just now.

End of Major's quote

Yeah, but it also pays to be careful using things that aren't the best in the show. As a Star Wars modder for example, we could use a lot of the material from Empire at War, yet IMO the stuff that game adds contradicts the universe so much it should never have been considered canon. Clearly it was made so that the player gets to do as much awesome stuff as possible, which is fine, but it making it canon you just legitimized too many crazy events. In the expansion in particular a character created in that game basically out smarts and beats every single character in the main time era. Why the hell is the galaxy terrified of the Emperor and Jabba the hut when this guy just comes along and plays them like nothing?

 

Anyways, I digress. Point was in that case if I used ships only from sources like video games that aren't really great and not included anywhere else in the universe, I'd try to give them minor roles like scout and siege frigate that don't really exist in Star Wars anyways, while the ships from the Movies, books and good games got the major combat roles.
