Federation and Empire

from GalCiv2 Forums

This had begun as a collection of starships based upon the Star Fleet Universe and other sources and has now evolved into the development of a full complete mod.

What you can expect to see:
9 custom major races to choose:
United Federation of Planets; Klingon Empire; Romulan Star Empire; Kzinti Hegemony; Lyran Star Empire; Hydran Kingdom; Gorn Confederation; Tholian Holdfast; and the Interstellar Concordium.

8 Custom minor races.

Custom technology trees and weapons set up for each race.
Custom player useable shipstyles for every race.

2 Custom Immense Maps: "Federation and Empire" and "The General War"

Custom Campaign: "ISC Invasion"

Starship sets are being developed now and available for use here:

http://library.galciv2.com/index.aspx?a=2985422

I gladly accept ideas for this mod and collect ships that you make to add to the ship sets. Feel free to share your ideas. I'd love to see your screenshots as well.

Other than: Orion Pirates; Seltorians; WYN; LDR; and Andromedan Invaders, does anyone have any ideas for minor races? I'd like 4 more.

Aren't Kazon Delta Quadrant?
Reply #255 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Yes they are. They were the first "villians" for the Voyager crew. I would really like to see the Ferengi in there. They would be the ideal "Yankee" style kind of trader civ. Could be natural enemies to the Orions. ;) Other wise.... how about:
1. Cygnets (I believe that was the name given to the avian race in the animated series)
2. Xindi ?? (You could spin if off as 5 or 6 separate races there.)
3. Neo-Roma ?? ( I have always wondered if the Roman Earth in the Original Series joined the Federation or tried to carve out a Space-going Empire.)
4. Mudd's World (All those androids that old Hartcourt Fenton Mudd influenced in the Original Series could be fun. Needing to go out and "protect" the humans)

Hope those ideas help.

BoTF had quite a few different minors in there as well. You might get a few good ideas from those races. I also like the idea of Kazon's...even though they are delta, that shouldnt matter to much unless you are going on a strict timeline or something.

Also, GREAT JOB on the ships...I have them all now Fed, Klin, Rom, and Gorn...cant wait for more!!! I found some star trek weapon sounds online and have put them in and the lasers and missiles sound great now!

Well I would like to see more Starfleet Universe minor races (well other than the ones you already mentioned), but thats just me. A few off the top of my head.

Milky Way Factions
The Jindarians
Xorkaelian Empire

The Iridani Cluster factions
The Iridani Questers

Triangulum Galaxy (though these are in testing)
Arachnid Worlds of Union
Helgardia
Mallarans

And their ships are just sooooo cool, it'd be a shame not to try one of those at least!

Ok here is my custom made Kzinti Hegemony race logo transparent .png file. This will be in the ship set along with the circular one but since I made this myself I felt I needed to show off. So if you want to use it copy it off here or just wait for the ship set to come out.

I will include an optional race logo which was used in the animated series of Star Trek.

Excellent, can't wait to see the Kzinti in action. Hay Ronin with everyone starting to chip in some great ships around here I was thinking of trying my hand at the Lyrans as to balance the races at 3 for the Alliance and 3 for the Colation, unless you would prefer I worked on some other faction? I would love to help out any way I could.

Also thought of a few more minor factions.

Vudar Enclave
Carnivon Hordes (grante these guys were driven out by the Lyran and Kzinti but as a minor race the could work)
Paravian Marauders (they were technically wiped out by the sun snake space monster but again for minor races they might be pretty neat.

I was thinking of compromising. 2 F&E minors and 2 Star Trek minors:

Paravians
Carnivons
Ferengi
Cardassian

I was going to try the Lyrans next but if you want to try to knock out some and give me a few ideas that's cool.

Or the minor races will need ships too and this is where I will REALLY need help on:

Paravians - Paravian ships
Carnivons - Carnivon Ship

I have very little to go on and these may have to be done from scratch. These two I need the most help on.

All right.....here is my attempt at building a Hydran Colony Ship. And a Constructor Ship. Two different styles to the Bridge - Nose section. Which do you guys like?
Reply #264 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
This is the constructor ship
Reply #265 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Ah well I like the Dervish bridge better but the ships don't have to all have the same nose.

Bad lag on getting the photos transfered to this site. Here you go
Reply #267 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
yea thats true. Just wanted to get an idea as to what you liked....it is a challenge. since about 80% of the Hydran ships look about the same.
Reply #268 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
WEll this is rolling now and I feel useless since I cant design ships or such. Do you need any help with XML files or what not? Those are pretty easy to do and id be glad to help out with this even if its in a small way?
Reply #269 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Got the xml stuff covered. Can you draw?
Reply #270 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
hay Ronin how the ships coming
Reply #271 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Ok I took the AAS fighter and the AS Fighter but didn't change a thing except I needed them to be tiny hulls instead of small. Easy thing to do, I got in to the .xml file and changed the word small to tiny. Presto Changeo its done.

AAS fighter is now the W'tsai Starfighter and the AS fighter is the Slasher class Assault shuttle.


10 more to go and I can post the Kzinti.

I would love to work on the minor races for yeah. I already started digging around and trying to get a feel for the Paravians, even have a semi-working concept of what their ships might look like, just a few drawings I am doing in my free time but I will work to make them more concrete soon.

The Luna is driving me nuts as for your "Section 31" are you sure that's not the Prometheus class?
