Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Atrocities has mentioned that he does not want to get invovled in developing a Star Trek Mod fro SEV as he did for SE4 . Let's all of us who enjoyed playing this mod let him know we appriciate all the work he did on it and maybe , just maybe we can get his creative juices running again !

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

As someone who also made a mod, not for SE though, I don't think Atrocities should be pressured. It takes a lot of effort, I certainly didn't expect how much when I got strarted and if someone doesn't have the time or willingness to spend that much time it's annoying to be pestered to do it.

I'd love a Star Trek mod for SEV, but not if it means forcing someone to do it that doesn't want to.

I've got a Devnull game going that has Tholians, the Dominion, and Ferengi themselves, and races based on The Federation, Romulans and Cardassians.

He's just taking a long break from doing modding and someday he will just get the urge to mod again and we will see him put out and other great mod (right now he's working on shipsets)I think http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

there is some good mods out now that are still good to play and in about a year or two we'll have too many mods to play http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

AT did a great job on his STM. Having playtested some of the earlier versions, I can just say it took a lot of hard work by a lot of people to get it where it is today. It just doesn't happen overnight (unlike FedEx)... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Other people can make a ST mod for SE5... like you! So get to work!

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

The Elerians are nothing at all like the Federation - it's just that the Federation shipset (both of them actually!) happened to have a female humanoid as its race portrait... the Elerians, a race which appeared in Master of Orion II (not 1 or 3, oddly enough) were a matriarchal society of psionic warriors! And might I say, the TK Projectors in Devnull Mod are quite nice - you just have to know that to get the psionic weapons you have to research Biological Weapons http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Fyron, if I actually bought SEV and had the time, I would try a mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

I'll put in my vote for a ST mod, no matter who does it. I'd like to see AT do it, but if doesn't want to and someone else does it, it wouldn't matter to me. Just as long as there is one eventually.

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Thanks for the kind words but Fyron is right, most of the modding I did was based upon the fine work of others. If I can do it, so can any one. And frankly I think there are more qualified individuals out there that can do justice to Star Trek in a far more true to nature way than I could ever possible come close to. Please go for it with my sincere blessings.

/me delurks..

Now that Space Empires has crossed into the 3D realm,.. if we all wish hard enough perhaps SE6 will have modular ship building not only of on board components but their 3D mode equivalents,.. so we can have a choice of hulls, engines, bridges, scanners etc. that can be assembled in 3D space like leggos. having 3 engines is one thing,.. placing them is what will make for a variety of ship designs. kind of like Doga. then, maybe then more people will get hooked on modding again.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

/me goes back to lurkville

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

I hope that never comes to pass... Aaron has far better things to spend his time on than legos. GalCiv2 has already shown us what happens when you waste tremendous amounts of development time on it.

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Would it be possible to put like 3 hulls of one size class into the game so that when you go to build your ship, could choose which hull you wanted to use for building?

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

You mean like in MOO2? I remember there being several "frigate" pictures, several "destroyer" pictures, etc. for each "shipset"...

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Atrocities has done some amazing things for Space Empires, from the line of shipsets that no one can live without to some damn fine modding and attention to detail in his Mods.

If he's tired or frustrated of modding at the moment, I for one say give him a break. He's earned it.

And, Fyron's right. Somebody else could certainly step up to the plate and try their hand at a SEV Star trek mod. That's not strictly a load Atrocities need carry http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yes, and that could actually be done in SE4/5 by adding 3 copies of each vehicle size that reference different pictures/models. You would lose the ability to retrofit between hull pictures/models though. It might be interesting to see something like this codified into SE6 (naturally, the extra model calls should be optional, since having to make 3+ variants for every model is a lot of extra design work).

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

I was thinking more along the lines of three (just a number out of the air) hulls with each one having a different capability. Say like:
1-Speed +1 (Ship design)
2-Additional hit points (stealth design factor or "heavy hull")
3-Miniaturization of ~5 to 10% (special role type ship)
You get the idea.
Could you add the hulls in this manner?

Re: Who wants to see a Star Trek Mod for SEV ?
 

Hmm, you might be able to do that in SE5...

The speed you could do with a bonus similar to the Propulsion Experts trait (not sure if it would stack with that or not)...

The additional HP you could simulate by adding damage resistances similar to the crystalline energy dampener, but for all weapon delivery types...

The miniaturization you could simulate by simply making the hull slightly larger to accomodate more components.

Would love to see a trek mod for SEV, can't wait for the B5 to be done. I've actually added a few trek like components into my own.
