by pre fed I ment ENT era and there will be only a couple of borg ships that go back in time and they join up with borg from that period to fight the premonition and the species that will make up the federation you will often encouter assimulated vessals from other races in that era aswell using this the missions can be like the mission "Into the breach" where the borg themsevles arn't that strong but the fusion cube is very strong.

AdmiralRyan. Even with as many problems as I've had in the past with Opec and Doca, its still not a good idea to come making boasts such as those you've done here on THEIR forum. You also have to be extremely careful when making promises such as the points you've posted. If you don't hold up to any of them then you've going to create some very bad press for yourself and your project.

Still, its your thread, not mine. One thing does occur to me though. I'm certain that if Optec, or Doca were feeling threatened by your current project values then they would most likely just delete your thread.

Finally, you have to remember that not everyone likes every mod thats been made. There will always be features that appeal to some and not to others. Also at the end of the day, people who mod do so for themselves generally. Its only an added bonus that the playing public get these mods (as well as making the game last longer, but even mods can only go so far).

They can delete it if they want I wasn't expecting to get any members this way but on the outside chance...

Anyway this can serve as a reminder to fleetops that they are not alone in the super armada2 mod catagory

and to cpt ryan ghosts mod is partly where I got the idea from only it will apply to nearly all federation ships but not in the same way. They will not change shape but will increase in firepower, speed and health.

umm you do know that telling your project members off don't really give you good press, do it privately and if need be mention you have done it, but public telling offs make s you look so unprofessional, however i do look foward to the era changes, but not the story line.

btw fo threatend by this project, no chance.

so it will be like refits to a shiup? if so bare in mind that refitted ships will look different (if only a little) from the original. clasic example the Ent > Ent-A and also the Ent-E from first contact to the refitted Ent-E on nemesis (additional torpedo tubes & phaser arrays visible, & the back end of engineering section changed).

cool ideas though

shiup? whats a shiup... Doh!

i don't know how you came to that assumption. i never deleted other modification's threads and i am sure optec wouldn't either.

thats true although there are many mod developers making mods targetting to be released for everyone. mods like counter-strike for half life as well-known example - it was never intended to be played alone but for team play.

umm you do know that telling your project members off don't really give you good press, do it privately and if need be mention you have done it, but public telling offs make s you look so unprofessional, however i do look foward to the era changes, but not the story line.

What this mods needs to look more professional is maybe a homepage. a homepage is just clearer and easier to read than a forum.

with that complex storyline, how long till the first release? But because i am certain that it either:

making a beta of it will takes years (being bug free and all)

or you have to make your time scedule very lose based or quit your job

pitch that storyline to Paramount and demand a game/film about it! let the professionals or doca/optec do it

You are forgeting that doca and optec are not the only people who know how to mod. We know how they did most of what they did and we belive it is possible to do better. If you think about it it must be possible to do better otherwise why would doca and optec plan to relaese more versions of it?

to Eufnoc

I'm not sure Major A Payne was telling me off just warning me and hes right I admit I did step out of line and I apologise to doca and optec for that.

to doca

As for a home page I need to find out how to do that

to roach

we are on the way to finishing a simple borg/8472 beta it won't have many of the special features but will show the quality we can produce.

to cpt Ryan

that is mostly correct you will have to wait a while for us to relaese that we may release a sample of it or it will come along in our first version.

i am sure you will find a way, but there are too many to discuss it here

btw are there any beta screenshots you like to release exclusive here in the forums?

posted on August 1st, 2005, 10:31 am

I'll make some for our website and I may post them here aswell.

just wanted to say, there is always a way to do better, but thats not only done by improving something but by creating something new.
we have not just improved beta 2 over beta 1, infact there were beta versions, steps on the way to v3. v4 will be the next step on this ladder. before we started with beta 1 we had a plan how the final version of fleet operations will look like. the last version of fleetops will be the one nearest to that plan.
improving is something you do without a plan - something you do by looking and thinking how it could be done better. that was my point at the beginning when you began to compare what your mod may improve over fleet operations ("better...").
if you like to create something new, then don't look at fleet operations, make a plan and create the mod step by step. Thats also what MaP says often, there can't be a "best mod".

So I guess Dominion wont be in your mod

Good luck with it though, Im hopeful u will make a good mod

posted on August 1st, 2005, 12:28 pm

We are considering the dominion and I am in favour of it so it may be in the mod but not for a while.
