SSD - Setting ship below the battlefield

posted on September 30th, 2010, 2:47 am

That would be so awesome if you could. I love the Super Star Destroyer, but with its size it totally dirupts the battle. By dropping it below the other ships and adding AVOIDME = 0....all my problems would be solved.

You guys are awesome, too bad in day-to-day life you don't meet people that are this outgoing.

Avoidme = 0 will be necessary so that's a good catch. As soon as permission has been received from the author I'll go ahead and lower it in MS3D. Feel free to send me a message here on the FO forums

I believe the Fleetops RTS file says ships can go +150 and -150 from the original plane. I was thinking if the executor was lowered to 200-300 that would be best. It is a Super Star Destroyer, so if dropping it down that far makes it look small, i can just make it bigger.

don't forget, this thing should be huge. 



Notice the argus array, ang galaxy class in the lower left

I'm a trekkie, but i fully appreciate Star Wars. I have to say, although there is nothing sleeker than a sovereign class....the Empire would eviscerate the Federation.

Lmao since when did the Dominion Dreadnaught become three times the size of DS9?!?!?!

And the Scimitar smaller then a Warbird?

Scimitar should be similar to the D'deridex in size, but taller.

Only if they spammed Star Destroyers in the thousands. Otherwise, Starfleet ships are better (Star Wars only has size and number). We'll never know who would win, though.

Yeah, that picture is not the most acurate, but it does help with scaleing how big that thing is.

btw, almost have permission.  Got starfox's ok, now I just need to get thunderfoot's(he did a lot of work on that one too and starfox requested that I get his permission too)


I might want a copy of this too TUN, but I did tell them it would stay a private mod, so I wouldn't post it here or anything if I were you. Not at least, unless I ask first.

in that chart the o'neill class is bigger than an ori ship

why not?

we have seen an onscreen visual comparison of the two. and the ori ship was clearly larger.

I'll send it via emails I suppose.

As for the chart... a lot of things do seem inaccurate indeed... I find it reeeeeaaallly hard to believe the Doomsday Machine that ate entire planets is smaller then a Dominion Dreadnaught, which is now almost twice the size of a Tactical Cube, which is now smaller then an average cube, which is now about the same size as Starbase 375. Also... I'm fairly certain the Argus Array is much larger, considering on screen the D was about the size of a tiny dot above it. 

I'd not be surpsise if the Dyson Sphere was put on that chart and listed as the size of a Borg Sphere.

that chart was pretty crap
