Current Mod Status

[SquireJames]

While I did say I would use the News Thread as a way of telling people what was going on regarding this mod. However I feel that after the longish absence of any new posts etc, I would post a small update.

All ships now have lightmaps and more detailed textures (see screenshots), and I have completed the Gorn side. The Romulan supeweapon is completed, although I am not very happy with it, and I may come back to it later. I have updated KA2 The General War to work with the 1.1 Patch for Armada II.

What I cannot decide is whether to make the Tholians or the ISC next. I have the SODs for both, although both are sorely needing stations, but the ISC do seem to be a more "conventional" race, whereas some of the aspects of converting Species 8472 to become the Tholians might be quite complex.

I have defined a set of units for the ISC, and they shall be the only race capable of building a carrier (other races carriers appear in the campaign and as map units but cannot be built). Also the ISC have a series of "Refits" which refit their vessels to carry a clutch of heavy disruptors, in a homage to SFC II where the ISC had a special disruptor equiped upgrade of most of their vessels (except disruptors in SFC were quite different to those in KA)

So, what should I make next, ISC or the Tholians?

i would say Tholians....while it might be harder to do them, it makes it easier on u in the end when u do the ISC

[SquireJames]

Good point, well Tholians it is. Might need to make some of my own stations for them, along with voices and GUI but should be worth it in the end.

well for the base...u could use the asteriod base from the Enterprise episode
