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.

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.

Actually the Nebulon-B frigate will be a Rebal ship but I could give the Empire a modified version of the Nebulon-B frigate, here is an updated version of the Imperial ship list,

Cargo:
Colony Ship (Escort carrier)
Space Miner (???)
Spore Ship (???)
Freighter (Merchant Vessel, used by all civs)
Transport (Landing Craft)
Constructer (???)

Huge:
Dreadnaught (Imperial II-class Star Destroyer)
Ranger (Venator-class Star Destroyer)
Excalibur (Arc Hammer)

Large:
Battleship (Victory-class Star Destroyer)
Avatar (Immobilizer 418 cruiser)
Padlin (Demolisher-type Star Destroyer)
Sledge Hammer (Acclamator II-class Star Destroyer)
Overlord (Nebulon-C frigate)

Medium:
Fire Hawk (Broadside-class cruiser kdb-1)
Battle Hammer (Tartan-class patrol cruiser)
Survey Ship ( Lambda-class shuttle )
Battle Axe (Carrack-class light cruiser)


Small:
Defender (Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 starfighter)
Scout (TIE Scout)
Cruiser (TIE Phantom)
Phoneix (TIE Defender)

Tiny:
Missle Boat (TIE Bomber)
Star Fury (TIE Fighter)
Covert (TIE Intercepter)

All I need are ideas for the Spore ship, Constructer and Space miner

So as not to detract or go off track of Ronin's work. I have done a separate posting. Showing some of my work I have been doing to make Battle Tec ships. I would like any one here who is also a BT fan, to check them out. Would like to hear what you think Ronin.

Seth and Atlas, I'll be keeping an eye on both your posts.

Well I just tried to play the normal game since I had so much awaiting to get approved on the Library I thought I'd take a break from the ship building. Nope no luck. No energy to do that. So back to ship building. I've just pulled out Atlas' ships and after going through my list of what ships I want the Hydrans to get I'm off to work again.

AF, I have decided to form my own modding team that could rival I-Mod, I call it Star Hawk Productions,


and I'd like to know if you would join?

I work full time and school part time. My limited time off is reserved for girlfriend, homework, work projects, my novel, and Federation and Empire.

Don't have any room for anything else so ambitious. But I wish you luck.

To be realistic, I don't think you would have the financial/production capacity to rival us until your 18. B-Day
Besides, "modding team" is just around 20% of all, we are doing much more then only modding. What you see on the I-Mod website is just a fragment of what is happening inside.

But I'm interested why you are against us instead of with us? You could benefit from I-Mod in many ways when you try to make a mod.

Together is allways better then against each other.


@AF Ronin: Nice work on the shipstyles, I followed them on the library, you have a good visual imagination ;o)

Thanks Stefan. When my mod is done I would like to put it on I-Mod as well as the library.

As for playing with or against now that both I-Mod and Star Hawk Productions have said their peace I'd like any futher conversation of that topic be continued through other postings so this posting can focus on again the subject of Federation and Empire or related information.

!!! I should be a Forum Moderator !!!

Hello Ronin: Is there anything else in the ships department that I can do for you? Or is that all covered? I am making up the planet name list for you. But would love to help out more if you like and want me.

If I think of anything I'll let you know. Thanks.

Hey Af since the Federation if a minor race in my A New Era mod, can I use the Federation ship style you made?
Reply #666 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Must be a backlog for things getting on the Library? ;)
Reply #667 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
I can ask Kryo on the Library status post.

I downloaded both your ship packs and put them together. I count 24 .xml files and 12 .shipcfg files. So 12 of your ships should work correctly.
