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:

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 guys are doing pretty good considering your using ingame models and parts to make your ships.Its been along time since i've used the shipyard to make ships those where the days.Oh will there be a robotic race wouldint be much of a mod without one and since your using the 23 centry races try the andriods from the original series if your a true fan you'll know who im talking about.Because ive always wished they did more with them it would be cool if they took on the federation or the klingons.

No robotic race at the moment. As there were none in Federation and Empire. However one of the rumors of the andromedans were that they are robots since no one has ever seen one and there boarding parties were robots. Who knows?

Thanks for the compliment and I'll keep your suggestion in mind. New major races will be needed in the future.

Wow, that USS-Titan is f***n great.

Well are you familiar with the storyline of Federation and Empire/Star Fleet Universe?

If not you could make an entirely seperate campaign using Fed & Emp races and it will be included.

Actually this mission is supposed to take places during the final days of General War here is the mission story,
With the General War near it's end, the Klingons have set up a seceret base on planet Kyro located in the Kyros system, a star system hidden in a massive asteroid field home to only one planet. The Klingons are attempting to build as many ship yards as possible so that they can rebuild their massive fleets. Recently a Confederation freighter was destroyed near the Kyros Asteroid Field,so now the Federation has sent a fleet to investigate.

Sure if you want, I'll include it.

Botany Bay (many Thanks for this particular ship)!! One of the most difficult 'item' of the Star-Trek Universe to transfer into a GC2 format, i guess. Pretty much exact, i might add.
Should be a real blast to use within any games.

You guys really think so? No way trying to brag but the Botany Bay was one of the easiest ships I have ever made. Took about 8-10 minutes to assemble.

Anyway there will be 2 Botany Bay ships in the pack. 1 will show up when you play the Federation Shipstyle and the other will appear when you play the Terran shipstyle. Figured it makes sense since the Botany Bay predated the Federation.

I can believe that Ronin: About it being an easy project. There were a couple of times that when I painted and modeled figures for WH40k that the one that impressed a lot of people. Was the one that took little time and effort to work on. I did not think it was my best. But others did....and I feel the same way about your work. It is great and you inspire me to try harder at it. Now after saying that. What is next on the list? I am assuming I got all the ships for the Carnivon's done for you. So unless you have the rest covered.........

Okay....should I try to follow the same kind of style that one of the other guys had shown and suggested? You seemed to have liked what he had done. And I had thought he was doing them for you.

I can also use the ideas that I had for some of the Roumlan support ships that I send you just the other day. Just let me know what direction you want to see me go in.

don't we still need the Tholian Holdfast and the Interstellar Concordium races and ship styles to finech the set?

AF, as a showing ofgraditude, I will make a map for sandbox games.

No need I have the maps for Federation and Empire. I will make them based on that.

Avian looking designs are good. Use their emblem as an idea.

I know they are not part of the General war as such, but will we be seeing the Seltorians and perhaps Andromedans eventually?

Seltorians will appear as a minor race as will as the Andromedans. In fact the Andromedans will take the place of the Dread Lords.
