Ok so here is an early version of the 1st avatar for the Undine race. For those who do not know the Undine is the name given to Species 8472 in Star Trek Online and this mod introduces them to Fleet Operations.

Now the first Avatar is pretty much what you get in stock Star Trek Armada 2 using Chiletreks awesome models and animated by me. It will eventually introduce a regeneration feature that helps them recover but beware it will remove weapons and greatly reduce speed. It will also get the Mother Matriarch upgrade.

The second Avatar when added will include the Terrasphere and will concentrate more on infiltration but more on that when I actually get it ingame more.

Alpha version 1.1

Although I have started balancing its still over powered soo feedback and advice greatly appriciated (does not have to just be about balancing by the way)

Knows Issues:-
(red means not yet fixed,yellow is when I'm working on it, green means fixed just waiting to be uploaded)
- Over Powered
- No XP gain when destroyed (for other races)
- Tooltips incorrect
- Scaling too small

Blade you ninja you XD. nice work


just outta curiosity while i'm d/ln, did you use chiletreks models for it?


and edit again. seriously did not read far enough to see you said that. i was so excited :wub:



and another edit: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THIS IS SO AWESOME



and another edit: in the way of bugs it looks like your hex is broken, the avatar tooltips retain their klingon heiratage, and there is a second battleship gate in button that is missing. "idk if its supposed to be their or not."


eDiTz: you might think about increasing the size of the models too. their kinda small O.o

PENTAEDIT: Since you haven't done ranking yet. a cool idea to think about is maybe give the Undine ships a supply per kill mechanic to suplement their econmey. kidna like the klingons but more consistane

yh not really dne tooltips due to needing to do the balancing

ranking im unsure as it breaks the biopulse

good idea about the resource kill thing i'll consider it :P

not sure what you mean about the second gate thing

i'll look into the scales (chiletrek made them small on purpose (there small in the series))

ah ok

using resoure on kill will inhibit ranking anyway.

you simply reduce the XP needed for rank to 1, then use next rank craft to rank the ship into itsself. that way every kill provides supply and your biopulse is not broken

there is a 5th build button for the battle ship on the fluidic gate that shouldn't be there i think

true true. but a small increase in size could really help readability. especially at max zoom.

oh yh that its for a unit called the matriarch guardian buildable once you have a matriarch (theres a hidden special weapon button on the mother that once you have all 3 research stations allows you to turn it into a matriarch)

1. romulan ships did not rank:
yh thats due to not having worth xp command (said it was an alpha)

2. 8472 ships are op:
I did mention that in my 1st post

3. ai stops attacking after 1or 2 pushes:
you mean the undine ai? if so dunno ive tested the ai against a borg merciless ai and it won so not really had much more testing

4. ai didnot expanded:
its using the stock a2 ai at the moment will try and make it better though

5.8472 base has medium range:
errr is that a bug???

7. ships stats for 8472 do not show properly:
as i mentioned in an earlier post not really done tooltips until the balance is better due to it being a pain and i'll have to just redo it again anyway

and some reason bug 6 was missing but oh well. thank you for the feed back will fix at least issue 1 and the scaling by next monday (im away for the weekend)

Is Valerie Archer the first avatar? I haven't checked it yet, butt it would be purrfect for the terrasphere if she, Admiral Bullock or the good old Boothby were the first avatar. :)
