Well, that's certain, the new Sanctus Steve-O's making could be used alongside yours, but not as a replacement, it's armament seems very different from the current Sanctus.
That's the case with all the reworks, BTW.

do you ever shut up?

[Dragon]

Hey, I'm just pointing out what I know, it's not like we even have that one for testing. I'm just saying it's different, too different to be a replacement. At least it was, last time I've seen it.
On a second thought, it could have sounded like I was spoiling something again. Knowing Steve-O, it'll not even be half ready by the time WiH goes beta, but not everyone knows Steve-O.
I'm going to poke Steve-O about it, by the way. Maybe he's got some news.

About the only spoiler I got out of this entire thread is a rough estimate of when WiH Pt 2 will go beta. >_>

the point was that he shouldnt even be discussing project-internal details OUTSIDE of that projects private forums. going against every shred of common sense that people should have.

At any rate, Ken is actually Aken Bosch and he has been hiding in Saturn's atmosphere aboard one of the redone Vexors all these years. Knowing Steve-O, it'll not even be half ready by the time WiH goes beta, but not everyone knows Steve-O.

Good to know.

That's doable, though in some cases it'll be tricky, especially in any mission that explicitly alters a ship's loadout or subsystem names.

The best way to do it may be to select BP2 as a mod, then extract the retail missions, move them into /data/missions under Blue Planet 2, open up FRED, and swap the retail ships for UEF ships. Quick and comparatively easy.

what about exchanging of armaments to balance them out to their vanilla vasudan and shivan counterparts?

You can do that manually in FRED, or mod the table files yourself. A simple solution is to create a copy of the BP2 mod folder called 'blueplanet2retailmod' or something, and do your table edits there.

Was wandering about through the forums and stumbled in on this thread....hurt my toe in the the stumbling process.
so any how, yeah most all of the models I've done are scheduled to be demolished, and rebuilt to better, more epic, MORE GOODER N' HELL!! standards.
list below shows whats currently in play. I'm not going to even give any sort of hint as to when they will be done, cuz A) i bounce around bettween all my projects like a monkey on red bull, and B) i don't even know when they will be done. well ok the wraith/uriel might be done soon, fighters always go kinda quickly.

Hyperion/karuna -- undergoing revision number... oh who knows anymore
Torrent/Sanctus  -- rebuilt from scratch, still needs debris and destroyed parts and a few texture tweeks
Vexor                 -- same as torrent, save for texture tweeks, I'm pretty happy with the textures
Tethis                -- oh its going to be rebuilt from scratch, it'll be a little different looking as well. just need to lay the keel.
Wraith/Uriel       -- Currently being rebuilt and re textured         

so that's where am i at.

[Dragon]

Wow, you're re-doing the fighters too? Just the Wraith, or are you planning on doing other fighters as well? I was always fond of the Banshee, for instance.
Also, could you send me a PM when you release new stuff to BP team for testing? I'm dropping out of main team to the testers (partially due to lack of time to keep track of the entire project), but I'd still like to try out (and help to debug) your new models.

just do me a personal favor and keep the rotating centrifuge wherever you can :-P i always loved ships with those... so cool looking *^.^*

i did what you suggested, made a copy of the BP2 mod, renamed it and basecally showed a copy of the Derelict mod into it... well, worked like a gem :-)

thanks a lot for the help mate!

[--Steve-O--]

worry not my friend, the tethis will keep the same general themes: contra rotating centrifuges ( i love those things as well), tri engine pods, light fighter launch points and two obscenely giant cannons. beyond the hull will be shaped out a little differently. its pretty bad@$$ in my head.

[Commander Zane]

Looking foward to it.

[Pahkwa-thanh]

hm, maybe i spoke a bit to soon... for some reason beyond my understanding, i can't get the rotating centrifuge on the Solaris working outside of the Blue Planet campaign... any ideas?

[Droid803]

Needs fighters with centrifuges

Can't wait. The Tethis was always awesome, I wonder what you can come up with.

So basically "I'm not on the team anymore but please send me team related assets"?

[LordPomposity]

Please sent me the Blue Planet 3 plot outline to check for internal consistency. I am a Blue Planet expert and a great ideas guy.

Nope, "I'm just a tester now and I'd like to give your ships a test run." I'm not leaving BP team completely, and there are still things I'm working on (not for WiH2 though, it's a long term project). Testers just don't have a badge like the "core" team. And I'm moving to testing, since that's what I mostly do these days anyway. I was never too involved with the story development, just the assets, which are mostly done.
