Borg Retexture?

posted on March 27th, 2010, 5:33 pm

Before I start I just want to say that I love everything about the game. The graphics, the ships, and the gameplay. However, there is one little problem I have, and that is the textures on the borg. They just dont seem very Borgish to me. It could just be me. but I think things would look a lot better with say this texture. It would give me more motivation to build something besides a Tac Cube. I hope it doesnt sound like I am complaining, and I fully respect the Dev's style and hard work. I know how it feals! This is just something I thought I would throw out there and get an opinion on.

I personally love how the Cube looks now. It's the best model out there in my eyes. 

Though I kind of agree in sense, a possible re-texture soitenly wouldn't hurt. I know that Dan1025 did an awesome re-texture of the FO cube for his game. Look here: Armada 2 Files - Picture of The Day

To me, it looks more like the TNG Borg Cube. I'd love for something like that to be implemented

Interesting... I was quite impressed by the Borg textures in general in FO

i would sopport a little retexture of the borg, if it would include more greenish parts because on low detail levels most borg ships are simply black and i always have to push my gamma up to see them (and believe me, with higher gamma the colors look terrible)

I personally love the textures, saying that they are somewhat dark, I think more green needs to be added...

Just curious... but what resolution and AA do you guys play at?

1024x768 , lowest detail, no Anti-Antialiasing, gamma slider one step above the middle

Looks a lot more detailed and clean to me than even the original  . Incidentally, the TNG style Cube looks nothing like the previously posted textures either - but then again, we haven't seen what the FO team has planned for the Command Cube (though the FC Cube and FO Cube look quite similar...).

Hmm interesting... The cubes I see are really dark boxes that are hard to see.
