What ships, special weapons, staions are planned yet?

The article about the cardassian dreadnough procides the most information about cardassian canon technologie. Hope you are gonna use most of them.

Cardassian ATR-4107 - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki

Gonna appreciate the project and will contribute as much ideas as posible.  Playse start a discussion on the playstyle next.

What do you think about the infos found here?

Hey RCIX, well done! Any chance this will be compatible with TUN's (The Undying Nephalim) extra avatars for the stock factions? Or with minor work to make them compatible on the part of us user types.

It might be well worth getting in touch with Dan1025.

I think this mod for stock A2 pretty much gives you all the reason you'd need to get in contact!

So far things are going a but good!

Yeah, there will be 3 avatars, so it would Require TUN's mod to an extent. Once this is finished many will be surprised with our hard worked results. We basically have ar Advatars defined, and majority of the models are ready and being tested. So it won't be too long until finishing!

Would help if I actually linked the mod I was talking about!

What about special weapons? And do you have all normal weapons?

* Plasma Wace
* Thoron shock emitter
* Thoron field
* Duanium shadow
* Thoron disruptor
* Computer system for predicting hostile actions (see ATR-4107)
* spiral-wave disruptors
* one main phaser
* possibly two wapr cores
* three or more impulse systems
(last two shall just say, that a galor or keldon is gonna fly on and on even if bein half crippled)

Note: canon data

Weapons have already been decided. Sorry, just we are working quickly. But maybe if we come out woth a 1.1 or 1.2 version we could take additional suggestions.

Hope you haven't invented something like graviton beam etc. again.

If you are planning to have a good mod, you will have to make further verions and will get bombarded with suggestions and critics.

posted on June 24th, 2009, 4:05 pm

Yeah, it is just that we are trying to get this out and on the FO market. we'll take suggestions on first release!

posted on June 25th, 2009, 2:20 am

any idea when we can expect it?

posted on June 25th, 2009, 5:02 am

Can you guess? it'll be done when it's...Done! I hope to complete the first version in a month or to but no guarantees.

Special weapons: i do have need of some ideas  an a couple on that list look doable as abilities. I've been tossing around a dual-warp core ability idea for a while but was not sure how well it would be recieved. I'll definetly add that in.

Playstyle: i don't want to give away too much info, but here it is:
Low cost, high buildtime
lower than average stats
Veterans pretty well and fast
Each ship starts with a passive ability, gains a special weapon at officer rank, and another passive at veteran.

I won't be contacting Dan due to the fact that the team has not one but 2 modelers who, if i may say so, are highly skilled.

Please, discuss!

Hey RCIX and Gamer

So far things are going a but good!

First, i dont see why it would require compatability with his, since you can add a third avatar now, without his mod heh. But if youre right and it does, wouldnt it make more sense to integrate the two mods? I saw you asked him to make you a couple of avatar pics for you... It just seems like a logical choice
Lastly, can we get the names and a little basic info on your avatars?

like
Gul Dakal Kentar - Advanced heavy weapons tech
Legate Prekon Matan - Kessok tech
Enabran Tain - Obsidian Order

Only problem is that there is no obsidian order anymore... Unless you are planning on explaining how they are back in power somehow...
