Modding: SOD request.

posted on June 1st, 2009, 6:35 pm

Hi guys, lately I've been frustrated because of ships I want but can never get. Here is the deal... I've been modding and I have some pics of ships I've seen in either other games or a ship I got a pic of but never found it. So for those that are good at making SOD files, just know my thanks ahead of time for your effort. Two things to note, RAR files are accepted, I do not have milkshape, so just SOD and textures (a hp map can really be helpful since I don't like floating around gussing hps). And another request is to email me if possible the finished product.

My email address is: crisnmarkt@myfairpoint.net
please specify my name because it is a shared email account.

First off, a Galaxy class variant that I call the Odyssey Class. A zip file with screenshots from an inrto to the Game Star Trek Dominion Wars is included as well as a small FYI file.

Finally to note, I do like things that do have a good poly count. If you were to make it a minimum poly of 2200 that is appreciated, I'd liek my addons to look better than the stock ships. That reminds me, make it compatible with stock Armada 2 please!

It doesn't have warp nacelles. I remember when i played through that game being very weirded out by it.

Nah, they are just tiny, just integrate the Nacelles into the 'wings' of the hull and that will be fine.

Okay, for those that don't want to make an Odyssey Class, here is something a bit more difficult.

This is the Delphin Class Cruiser. It is on the edge of an Experimental Cruiser. (Please get those details, I like them details)

Is that thing cloaking?

posted on June 1st, 2009, 8:53 pm

No it is not... the Delphin isn't cloaking.

Looks like it in the first picture.

Hmm, it sure looks like it is cloaking, but it doesn't really matter.  It is a sweet ship, but I don't think it would look good in FO.  It looks like, and the name sounds like dolphin tho, but I would use it in my concept future mod.  It is available for Armada?

I'm asking if people can make these ships so I can use them in my Armada 2 mods. If you are intrested you are more than welcome to make them, I don't have a modeling engine or even any experience. But I am fairly good at making mods if given the good resources.

Okay, here is something simple. Please, just because it looks like a Defiant doesn't mean it is. Well, it could be a Variant (Sensor Variant?). Anyway, I call it the Ion Burner Class (ugh, my imagination is low  ). Any way, I want them details (I like details).

Reminder: I have to MS3D, so MS3d mesh files are basically useless. RAR files are acceptable...

Guys, please post when finished so that I can be informed. But also be sure to email the product so I can see it. If you'd like you can post a scrnsht of the finished product (I like screenshots).


Dont let the Borg get to them before me!



(No really, don't let them!)

You'd do better posting this on the A2Files forums.

It's generally quite rare for someone to make a ship just to send to someone else, to put in their mod. Normally modders will release the ships themselves on A2Files or similar, then you can get it from there (if you ask their permission).

Please also be aware that most modders are also very busy, and only really make ships when they want to (usually for their own projects), so don't be 100% certain that these ships will get done.

Now, I'm sure I've seen the Delphin before, though I'm not sure where. The Defiant-looking thing is the Prevaricate class, and was seen in the Borg Incursion 2 mod some years ago (if you want to use that, ask MajorPayne's permission first).

I specifically check Filefront every other day! These ships are not anywhere in there.
