POLL: Which mod would you prefer?

[Cryptotec88]

There is already some good ship designs out there for Star Wars at Kuat DriveYards http://www.geocities.com/kuatdy/

There is one B5 design at Rambies Shipyards http://www.xmission.com/~rstulce/SE4-Index.htm

I don't know of a Star Trek mod but am currently looking for one. Nor have I seen a SC2 mod.

Just trying to let you know whats already out there so you don't waste your time. Looking forward to any race design you decide to make.

This has been discussed before, but Star Wars and Star Trek might not work to well as mods as the basic structure of the universe isn't the same. B5 might work. It all depends on how close to ideal you want to come I guess. I don't know what Star Control II is so I can't comment on that.

If I could wish for a mod it would be for one based on David Weber and Steve White's starfire books based on the boardgame starfire that heavily influenced Space Empires IV.

I want you to make a pirate mod, and replace the space squares with water... and, and.. replace planets with islands.. and, and, you can have boats instead of starships, and whrilpools, and nebulas can be fog.. and and..

no. a bab 5 conVersion would be really cool. I think there is a race conVersion for the earthforce out there, but if you are doing a full game mod with multiple races and other graphic tweaks as well, that would be sweet. Thanks to everyone who is rolling out the great file sets, they really help the game experience.

I'm already creating a Earthforce Race with the Rambies shipset. I will post it in the next days.

Star Control II!!!
www.star-control.com (It has ALL the info)

"Ok, human, this is it! The Last battle, your final moment of triumph! Don't screw up. And in case you're wondering, I'm not going with you, Captain. I'm staying on board with the bomb. Why, you ask? BECAUSE I'M LOCKED IN HERE -- THAT'S WHY! HELP!!!"

I also think a B5 mod would be cool! You may be hard pressed to come up with a enough capital ship designs though. Unless your going to make some up.

I just finished a total Star Wars game using the Shipsets from Kuat Ship Yards along with the Ship Names for the Empire and the Alliance. I used The Rebels, Darth Vader and his shipset as the Imperial Order, the Emporer and his set as the Sith, the third empire set with that blue faced guy, the Trade Federation from Episode 1, and teh Black Sun set. It was cool!! I customed the 5000 point racial types as best as I could guess. I also made a few changes to the settings, made pop harder to kill, lowered the number of black holes (to many ships get sucked in if you don't move them yourselves each turn) and nebulas, increased production values, etc. We were all in partnerships until the tech had gone a fair ways up. It ended up being the Rebels(me) vs. Darth Vader's clan. I kicked the AI's butt, (of course, who couldn't?) with the tactic of Warp In,create Black Hole, Warp Out. With movements of 12, you can do it in one turn. It almost takes the fun out of it, if you weren't creating a gigantic BLACK HOLE to totally destroy everything in their home system, that is. I'd get the force concentration report, warp in, enemy fleet bye-bye. I had higher tech by that time, and the AI hadn't constructed any system black hole/nebula shield facilities. Anyway, it was fun to have a strickly Star Wars game.

SEIV is great, I hope that they fill it out more, more techs, and better AI use of existing techs, and more AI routines besides just agressive, neutral, or defensive.

I have completed a star trek ship set based on the Federation (UFP). If you will like the set email me at sabre21@gateway.net. I have sent this set out to quite a few guys already. I am trying to get the time to do the Klingons and Romulans.

My vote would be for a B5 mod. I'd love to see ship sets for the major races that are up to quality of the EarthForce set on Rambie's ship yard. I'm assuming that many ships would have to be stylized from existing designs though as I doubt there is enough footage for all the necessary classed.

Aside from ship graphics, I also think that the B5 universe lends itself to the game mechanics far better than the others. I'd really like to see a good tech set from the B5 universe.

Just my $.02

I've got a Romulan and Klingon shipset almost complete...unfortunately I can't find anything to use for troops or weapons platforms for either race, and I can't find anything to use as fighters for Klingons.
