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.

Yes but except for the ones that Atlas has been putting together they need only 1 hull per size. So no worries.Some minors use ships by the other empires too. Like LDR uses Lyran.

What about the Geckodon ships, I never saved any as templates, will you do it for me once you download the ships?

I am trying not to do 24th Century ships but this Valdore class warbird is in the expansion pack:

Without THAT excellent Valdore, the Romulans would be 'incomplete' and somehow, unexpended (Why should you even refrain from having other well known Trek stuff? I understand it's hard to make a choice from the giga resources available, but the mod appeal & overall feeling of quality would come from diverse elements rather than specific styles.) - me think.

Which is to say... Scimitar? ;)

Now, that one IS a challenge beyond the 'easy' Botany Bay.

Nope. You should post the set on the Library. They were pretty good.

Comon! That's no excuse... i'd simply be curious IF it can be made close enough to reality.
Maybe once you have completed the essential assets (remaining fleets & other mod items).
In fact, i may take it up for myself since i --now-- have a MUCH faster & efficient PC; at 1680x1050 on the LCD, i can actually see the entire hard-points more clearly and the DualCore along with the 3gig of Ram have just made the whole task of creating ships (even for X-Worlds, btw) highly easier.
Click, place, tag, shift -- child's play.
Still have to fiddle with contrast and gamma settings though.

2 ideas.

1. I had this idea originally to create a unique combat formula for this game. And although it would have made a more Starfleet universe feel to the game it would made you unable to mix the fed and empire races with the other races. So I am thinking of changing the weapons to match the races as planned but leave the defenses alone.

2. I want to get the tech trees ready and when they are I will e-mail 1 tech tree with that race's ships to 1 person. You then will play the game normally and basically using the templates, flesh out the ship a bit. Then these ships you create using my templates can be e-mailed back to me and well become the "core" ships of that race.

Once Hydran and ISC are done I'll be taking volunteers. Need 8 people since I'll be using the Feds. First person come, first served on picking races, but you don't get to yet. I'll let you know.

Hello Ronin: Here is the Paravian Dreadnought and Battleship. I am very proud of the Battleship. Really wanted to make it look like a Predator Bird. So tell me what you think.

Say you are playing the Terrans. In the shipyard you have 3 lists to choose from. "CORE" "USER" "ALL"

The Core ships already have weapons and stuff installed on them. What you are doing are designing those using the template ships I provide.

So whenever anyone uses the provided races if he/she chooses to use the CORE ship provided they will end up using the one you provided.

Romulans for me? Pwwwweeeze??
;)
Including a Scimitar just for kicks!
Reply #642 Top
No Scimitar. No. No. No.

I'll work on the 24th Century stuff when this is all over.

Okay Ronin, the Paravian's are winging their way to you. I hope you like them. Now is there something else I can do for you? I am going to have to nail my hand down. So I don't keep waving it to get your attention. Be be one of the lucky guys to try out a race tec tree. (snicker,snicker) What about planet names? Will you want to put some in or just let the players make their own as they go along? I have Captian's Log #16. Which lists a large number of the SFB planets. Plus a large collection of FASA material for ST RP. Let me know.

Okay, okay **NO** Scimitar... but should i assume that i would be testing the final solid greeny wacky Romulans once you start sending in the tech-trees & trusting us into developping some of the core ships?

Early morning birds get to the water source first, they say!

Okay then, wel basicly it's a Star Wars mod, but it takes place in alterative universe, it includes a campagn with 10 missions that take place in small of the SW galaxy then there is the final mission where the map is the entire Star Wars galaxy! The United Federation makes a guest appearence but only as a minor race as well as the Geckodons but they be called the Geckodon Monarchy. It'll be great but I need help with making the styles, ad I waswondering if anyone would help me?

You should start your own posting with this since I'm sure the Star War fans will get in on this but I will say don't forget the Nebulon-B frigate.
