A BSG mini-mod? How long until I can sic a Cube upon the Cylons?

Well, For now I am shooting for the end of the year, which means this should have plenty of cool stuff in it, however, 3.0.8 might cause problems in developement, and  you never know.  I might get a large amount of free time to work on it, so it could be sooner, but don't get your hopes up.  Like I said, I want to enter this into the end of year modding contest at FF (assuming they have it this year.)


Any way, all my weapons should be made by me, but All the models I will have to get permission for, so that is another factor to consider.  Also, I have never made a mod this big, or anything close to this before, so it will take lots of time to get it right, but I am makeing all the ships, and weapons as clost to BSG cannon as possible, so so you don't need to worry about that.

Well if you need someone to bounce Ideas off of or test things for you I be happy to help. Also are u planning on including tos era vessels and fighters as well? In any case Im sure this "minimod" is gonna be very cool. Ha Im kinda drooling now lol. You do some nice quality modding and you always put in 110% into it at least from my perspective. So I know this is gonna be some cool peice of work. Good Luck!!!!

    Well, I wanted to origionally, but I couldn't find all the right models, so right now, the Cylons will just have their 6 point base star, and some raiders, and the colonial side will have mercury class battlestars, all sorts of fighters, and some other things I will not say, but If you know where I can get a cylon bomber and cylon war era basestar sods, I would be very grateful.  (if you were to find those, I would imagine, I could find a way you could alpha test fore me, but that goes for everyone aswell.) 

    There won't be many different capitol ships, involved, so it will be mainly fighter combat based, but the Rail guns of the battlestars, can target several ships at once, so the battles should be spectacular. Like I said, the weapons and ship sizes will be cannon, so at least battles will look really cool.

well there is a hades class basestar on afc in the downloads section....its under A1 mods but to me it looks bland....I myself was working on creating a sod for a tos basestar, I got the mesh how I wanted it and it the number of polys was under 2k....unfortunately I suck at uv mapping.....I problably pissed away 10 hours between ms3d's texturing tool and lithunwrap 1.3 trying to get textures aplied corectly......now between modding in some of the coxxon rework meshes I am experimenting with porting bc ships...anyways I will keep an eye out for things that might fit into ur mod.

Great looking mod, can't wait for it to be finished. But when you say ship sizes will be canon, will it also be in relation to the ST ships?
Because the battlestars seem a bit small at the moment.

filefront is probably the biggest armada site out there (followed closely by armada fleetcommand [AFC])

FileFront isn't an Armada site, the Armamada site is just one extension of FileFront.

Lucky there are not many Spanish people to laugh at your whoopsie. In Spanish, "mamada" means... err... "something-not-appropriate-for-this-forum".

Most embarrasing typo I've ever made... did you need to include the meaning?
