Coolass!! I was just thinking to myself this morning - wouldn't it be cool if FreeSpace was made as an Armada style game... Cool. Are these the only ships that have been made? Is there a website for this project?

oh yeah, watch those Vorchas Burn. much debris.
accually, I have about 99% of all FS1 and FS2 models into sod. :D now comes that long task of fine tuning and getting more stations for the game. I still have to get the other races up, then I will show pics of real FS naval combat. :D
oh here is the site: Freespace: Armada (http://www.geocities.com/rakshasa_snake/Intro.html)
Thorn is working on a new site, I am too lazy to play around with websites.

This stuff looks truly incredible! :eek: When this comes out I think I will have to buy the game just to play this...
-
I love this TC! I'll have to grab ST:AII back off my friend.
Hey, this screenshot you have here - is it a mod that's available for FS2?:

i wanna see the colossus or sathanas vs the Enterprise!

It looks great, but since its a star trek engine... im not allowed to buy the game. Because if i buy a star trek game, I must go outside and shoot myself.

Grow up man. I'm not meaning to be rude, I'm just trying to support Star Trek as the true fan I am... Sorry.

yeah, Red5 wanted me to put all the stuff I make for this into POF. I really have no clue on how to set up turret points and thruster emitters for FS or FS2. someone would have to do that for me, all I could really do is put it in 3ds or something and send it off for that to someone.
it is in the mod however... i will show it opening a can of whoop ass sometime soon.
Colossus or Sathanas.... well... i will show something soon... I still want to set up the game first then add the juggernaut and Coly. and plus, those 2 models will take alot of time to hp map. *sigh* I have alot of work still.
-
Snake, this is truly excellent work. Like CP said, buying Armada just for this would be worth it! :)
Just remember to check the spelling on all the FS ship classes. (I.e. it's "Deimos-class corvette", not "Deimoes Class Corvette".)
-
Wow... the first set of images looked a bit dull, but the second lot look amazing. Do i have to buy startrek armada to play it?
-
They look very good! :nod::yes:
Stargazer.
-
Cool. Too bad I'll never be caught dead with an over-budgeted name-brand game designed almost solely to milk the wallets of obsessive TV show junkies. It's the principle of the thing, I guess.
-
Wow! Looks great man! Now put in the fighters!!!:D
-
None of those work... :wtf:
And the first picture has http://www.geocities.com/rakshasa_snake/Snapshot001.txt as an address?
Edit: Works now. :nod: Nice pictures. :yes:
-
They worked a while ago...
-
Damn, nice new set of pics there. Gotta get the darn game too, now. :D

I know.... that odf was made in haste. Thorn aleady kicked me for that. by the time I am done with this alpha version, it will be time for Beta testers.... and the job of a beta tester is to find all these glitches.
btw, is anyone here good with sound editing? some ship captain voices and some beam canon looping, and some music combing is needed.... and some ideas on shivan and vasudan voices is also an issue.
-
Oooh... Pretty :D
If you need ship names, I think I may be able to help you out. I'm worthless modding Armada, but I can come up with some good FS style names.
-
i'm not getting any pics and the geocities sites aren't working
:( :( :(
-
Wow, that is sooo coool. I just might get ST: Armada when (if?) this is finished. This is an RTS, is it not?
As for stations:
GTI Arcadia
GTI Ganymede
GTI Polaris
PVI Karnak
PVI Cairo
GVI Rameses
SI Arachnas
SI Nirvana

I've never heard of this. Got any links?
SI Arachnas
SI Nirvana
Aren't these the same? :confused:
-
What about the GTI Cheops?
-edit- GTI Cheops

The Cheops is a Terran isntallation with a semi-Vasudan name. It should be GTI.
-
Is this for Armada or Aramada 2?

Armada2. Note the selection circles (I hate them!)

Armada 2. :)
Edit: damn modem. :doubt:

Cheops! Not Rameses, Cheops! What was I thinking.
Are the Arachnas and Nirvana the same? I didn't think so...

I don't understand those things either. They are extremely annoying when you are trying to get some half-decent cinematic scenes from the game, or even to watch it from the tactical view. Is it possible to disable them there?

hm.... I dont think that could be changed. I will look into it. but mind you, If I do manage to disable them, all ships will have something worse that I know everyone hates. team color. those circles would serve as team ID, instead of mesh colors. I need people to be able to ID there IFFs.
also, to get rid of them temperarly, just click off the ship(s), and move the cursor away from any ships (instead put on the interface).
I will look into it.

Big tip: Stick to canon FS. A lot of us want a fun FS strategy mod but we don't want poorly done extrapolation.
No Shivan campaign or "Shivan voices" as the only thing in the games we hear is ETAK. For the campaign stick to events in FS2 we couldn't be at in the campaign which are mentioned in the game itself. (the Colossus hunting down NTF runners, etc.)
Shivans I'd have "spawn" from natural subspace nodes, maybe have gas miners collect material, jump through, and "purchase" units from it. Don't give them voice overs or even a campaign. Comm node construction from Shivan transports would increase the amount of people you can have, etc. (just an idea, preferably not working out a Shivan system and have them as random attacks I think is better.)
On the Arcadia, definately good for ship construction. On that, the whole transporter thing in the game could probably be switched to Elysium transports transfering crew. Cargo depots could be done for "buildings" such as the research labs, etc.
Simiarly, I'd probably give the Vasudans the Ganymede, it's afterall the universal GTVA spaceyard as stated in it's tech readout.
Just my two cents ;)
-
I may go out and buy that game. It has come down to a price I can live with.
-
That's awesome! I might do what everyone else is doing.. buy the game if and when it comes out! The only thing I can complain about is it looks like there is too much action going on too confusing IMO. but thats just me I could be wrong :)

I like it. what game is this for ?

For Star Trek: Armada 2.
Read the thread... :doubt:
-
How much is it selling for right now?
-
Last I saw was for $39.99 9us) at EB, dunno about lately.
But I'm going to have to pass on the mod since I only have Armada 1 and no funds to get a new game with.
Does Armada 2 have the same damn problem with acknowledging you've clicked a unit or double clicked? Or that you've done a drag-group selectiong and it only selects one or two ships out of the 8 available?
Aside from that and the pain in the rear way new ships don't perform exactly like they should despite new values in the physics files... (Figured out how to keep big ships from getting pushed around by small ones despite travel in opposite directions, but turning speeds is as if it were a small fighter or something. Spinning in place to face a new target with a star destroyer should take a lot longer than 1 second!)

reasons I like homeworld...
you have to turn your capships to face the enemy before he gets within range, or they get raped....

phew, I though I said already that that can be fixed..... well sort of. its not somthing I want to explain... rather.... you will see in game. as for that having to turn you ship around.... well... due to limitation with arc abilities... most weapons will fire 360, but will apear to fire from different turrets. Or, you will have ships that can fire the weapon infront of it. gah, I hate having to explain things over and over again.
dont worry, it will take time for an Orion to face a target. i'm working on it....
-
What are you doing with the Faustus? Are you going to use it as some sort of mobile base?
Are you going to have special weapons with each ship? (Like a Meson bomb for the Triton - or a speed boost for the Leviathan - or a troop capture using Argo's for the Hecate or something)
Please include the GTD Raynor mod in this TC.

I just bought armada 2 for 20$ on ebay, regretably i saw another go for like 16.50$...
Im back in full active status, sorta, this computer is slower, and my fs2 was stolen, all but like disk 2...
I wonder if Titus-Interplay will give me new disks if i can prove i owned fs2, twice

hey! pretty!
