ok well im thinking of making a mini mirror universe mod (humans) but after reading more information about it ive found some interesting things
here are 4 pictures of the same ship with different hull styles

Federation


Terran Empire


Terran Rebellion (DS9 terrans)


Galactic Commonwealth (Apparently post DS9)

I would just like to know peoples opinions

Looks nice, though different glows and blacker hulls might be good for the Terrans. Something more evil-looking.

mayb but from what i remember from watching episodes based in the mirror universe is that the only difference are the hull markings and instead of uss its iss (oh btw apparently the galactic commonwealth use fss meaning Free StarShip)

Canon mirror universe had 3 versions; only ISS (TOS), ISS and hull markings (Enterprise) and no markings or ID at all (DS9). They never settled on a single style and changed with each series.

Looks interesting, hope you find the time to bring the mod to life.

And Eraldo, seriously WTF was the point of posting that? All you do is come of as a jerk and make people feel unwelcome. If thats what you think fine, but there was no good reason for you to take the time to post that except to start trouble. You post things like this time and time again, maybe you should just stop posting unless you actually have something of value to add.

well reason for the post was to get peoples views on how to make the mirror universe humans different to the prime universe also whether to make them a new race or a 3rd avatar and which faction would people like to see (Terran empire, Terran rebels or the galactic commonwealth (which apparently is in the novels but can not find a description of their icons or hull designs so made mine up based on feds ans todays commonwealth logos)

No i come and give my opinion so swallow it and then deal with it because there nothing you can do.

Im tired of so many new mod ideas or confirmed mods that never EVER get released... its boring.

Everyone's all like yeah wow i cant wait then it gets bumped 2 years later and a few schmucks who are still actually waiting for it are like is this done yet.... er no it was never even started.

Its nothing personal to blade at all, but i also play hl2 games and there are a million mods for that out there that are still on websites but have never even had any work done on them.

If you're trying to create differences from the base Federation, there are a few things you could do. For instance, have some different special weapons systems for some of the ships. You could change out some of the defensively oriented ones with something a little more suited for the mirror Terran counterparts (like the Akira's Defensive Pattern ability replaced with its original Armada weapon or something similar). Another addition you could make is increased offensive power. After all, the more warlike Terrans are bound  to have stronger weapons at the expense of shields. Finally, you could probably add some unique mirror unit or ability that the other Federation avatars don't have. Good luck on your project, hope this helps

well i agree that in ent and tos the terran empire were war like in ds9 the empire collapsed and became the terran rebellion they seamed less warlike and just wanted to be free but from what ive read about the novels concerning the future of the terrans they join with the galactic commonwealth which sounds like a federation sort of thing

my plans for the mod would change depending which route id take but generally would be similar vessels to to the prime universe except possibly allowing cloak and a few vessel alterations and swaps (was also thinking if going back to the empire then include a subspace weapon (if i can figure out how) or making defiants the main vessel if going down the rebel route)

so would really appreciate thoughts on which route to take (was mainly thinking rebels or commonwealth but feedback is welcome and definitely would need help deciding how to make if differ to the prime universe and should this be a new race, replacement race or just a 3rd avatar (if full race avatar choices would be cool)

once the faction is decided i'll start on the hull edits and write up a ship list

Really? Youre sick of people proposing new mod ideas and then it doesnt get done? REALLY? I didnt realize you owned the website and were entitled to having people post here ONLY if they had a finished mod for you. You sound like a five year old. This forum is for anyone to pose ideas on mods they may like or like to make. Not just to pose completed mods for Eraldo to keep him amused. And who is to say he wont actually finish this mod, youre the one making assumptions that he wont. And what relevance is there in pointing out how many mods dont get finished? So what, mods take time and effort, no one is obligated to make them, and your attitude doesnt make people WANT to release them to the public. If youre so annoyed by people talking about mods they would like to make then maybe you should just stay off the forum.

And apologies to Blade, I dont mean to derail your thread.

Please keep further personal comments about attitudes and mods to the PM system: this goes for Eraldo, Equinox and whoever else is getting disgruntled. Thanks

hey guys sorry to de rail at start but know i havent been on in a while. blade osunds like a sweet idea about the terrains, an idea that struck me as there the terran rebellion and obviously dont have noce shipyards u could mak everything look likr its jerry rigged and look like salvaged federation ships. i would also say that they should have cloaking devices and serious offence as they could de cloak and lay waste to unsuspecting ships. an i dea i had for special weapons would be some koind of ship disabling weapn maybe somehting similar to what the breen had to disable a ship so that they can board it and either take the ship or steal supplies, just my thoughts

I actually read the Mirror Universe book, Rise Like Lions, that introduces the Galactic Commonwealth.  I could probably explain a bit on how they work later.  To simplify it though (spoiler ahead if you intend to read this book) ,  they are like the Federation but definently more on the aggressive side due to the Universe they come from.  Heck they openly admit to having Genesis Weapons constructed and claim that they will fire them on anyone who would attempt to attack them.
