Armada Fleet Command

I've always liked the aesthetics of the Romulan designs. Much more elegant than the other races, in my opinion.

... Still eagerly awaiting.

Just out of curiosity what sort of changes were you hoping to affect? Because other than ship construction I wouldn't really recommend fiddling with those files unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

You can always just modify the "ScaleSOD" value in the rbattle2.odf.

On a partly related note, I noticed an error with the Shrike class remodel you did a while back. In the rdphot2o.odf file you have a reference to a "rphoton2" sprite but you didn't provide that file. The game crashed each time the torpedo tried to fire. But I noticed that it is, in essence, the same...

Um... every physics professor I've ever known??

But, dang, these look SWEET regardless! Not sure if this is possible, but could you mod the files so we can actually build our own maps with these when you release the project?

Heck, at the very least an updated model and retextured ship would be nice! As a buildable ship, though, it would require some serious balancing considering it's main weapon (Temporal Stasis) would really give it an edge in combat.

Try this //Programming Stuff DO NOT CHANGE classLabel = "cannon" // Restrict the Fire Arc restrictFireArc = 1 // Use this fire arc restriction fireArc = 1.61 //save up our fire; 1 = yes and 0 = no saveFire = 1 //max number of shots we can save maxShots = 3 //the minimum time between saved shots min...

So sharp angles are the future of the Federation? Meh...

Honestly, it looks a little "dirty" to me. There's too much going on in such a small structure. I get that you want to put in details, but none of them are really coming off because they're so compacted. The inner portion is fine, but the outer ring and and smaller structures could use a little less...

I've made a few larger-scale maps but never saw the need to go above the 20,000 range. Even at 11,000x11,000 and playing against four AI opponents it took quite a while for me to run into the other races. I can't imagine why you would need a 50,000+ size map unless you planned on never encountering ...

I pop in from time to time, but not a whole lot of people are still modding or discussing the game anymore. I mean, the game is over ten years old, isn't it? Chances are when FT gets released activity will increase for a little while but since Armada isn't an on-going series it's not really surprisi...

Some new menu screens would be nice too. And while we're on a wishlist, how about some new Desktop icon options for A1? The stock ones are so 8-bit it's not even funny. A new in-game targeting icon/pointer would be nice too. Something a little less TOS and a little more Nemesis. It's mostly the litt...

Yeah, I'd tone down the number of stars too.

You know, I never realized just how cartoony the stock backgrounds looked until seeing them side-by-side with yours. It definitely makes the game seem more realistic.

How about making a few comets?

Wow, didn't even know this existed until just now. Nice work on the planets. I never did like the stock planets. The moons are pretty sweet too. The nebulae on the other hand seem a little too bright, but that just might be because they were stacked.
