Federation and Empire

Federation and Empire

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:

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.

Alright. Here is my 2nd shot at the Hydran Dreadnought. I like this one for it does closely match the drawings of the ship. I was thinking of tweaking the first attempt of the Dreadnought and make it the Battleship. Here is the Iron Duke, my second try:

Here is my first try at the Dreadnought that I well rework:

I will also rework the cockpit on the Sparrow.

Ok, I have reworked the 1st Dreadnought with the intent that it be the Battleship. And here it is.

After that, I read a little out of the old SFB rule book and picked up on how the Monarch Battleship was just a stretched, thickened and widened Paladin. So I then built this version.

An to show you how big these boys are.

Well I am sorry to say that the Chandley class is beyond my capabilities to make. Either I can't get it to work or the parts available I can't get it right. The angles of the "wings" bend too much. After 3 days I find myself giving up.

However needing a Federation ship to replace that one in the Expansion pack I have put together the Larson class:

The expansion pack has just been uploaded to the Library.

Hey AF_Ronin, Seth and I had a funny idea for a minor race,

The Irken Empire from Invader Zim.
The race portrait,

We could make a shipstyle.

looking for more star trek based but maybe in a revised release of the original mod.

Currently I'm running on V.1.96. I started this on the TA Beta and I check everything whenever I install an update. So it should work on every version of TA.

yes except for the minor races. some of them will share others. For example the Lyran Democratic Republic(LDR), a minor race will have the same tech tree as the Lyran Star Empire(major)

Thanks for trying AF...sad to hear that the Chandley wont be making it, but its good to see the Larson, another ship from the FASA game Im familiar with. I had wondered if that angles might be a bit much, but was still holding out hope! But hey, thanks for trying and GREAT JOB on what you have done!

LOL, to the point. ^_^

I was thinking, for the Tholians there could be a fleet component that has status effects... so perhaps, it slows down enemy ships in their own territory, and enhances weapon damage in battle.... That could perhaps operate as a Tholian Web.

Will the Tholians have a Y-Class planet, or a Dyson shere for a homeworld?

Isn't that part of the Super-Isolationist ability? I was going to give that to them. And I can do the class Y world. No worries there.

I'm very curious what stuff you have put together.

I love Star Wars storywise much more then Star Trek but when it comes to the starships I felt that next to the Star Destroyer the fleets of Star Trek were the best. And I love seeing them battle it out, which is the focus of the Starfleet Battles/Federation and Empire games.

:) I kind of forgot to add Spore ships for the Carnivon's and the Hydran's. So here they are. First the Hydran Valkyrie.

Now the Carnivon Scavenger.
