Hey if you guys need some expert advise, I am well versed with Armada 1 modding. I can tweek the ofd's give some time to converting model, texturing them, adding what is needed. I can also work on the AI porsion. I also have an Idea or two about the shipyards. I any case I can help, I may be unavalible until next wed (12/29/04). But I hope to have a new mod to help with.

That'd be great jc4jc. Ive been browsing over at SGN, and a guy has contacted me there about the Freespace mod. I'll see if he wants to help us out. This mod may yet come to fruitition (yes, it is a word, no i dont know how its spelt )

you reallly need a website! that way you can have just 1 page that has all the news about the project on it and using the rest of the free space (hehe)  you can use to store current progress (ships that have been converted, weapons, etc.. ) incase a HDD crash.

Good Idea Pilot, I'm actually working on that. Nothing like geocities or anything like that(those stupid sites crash too often. I used to have a website of my own with a domain, but its gone down due to my recent money issues. I'll see what I can do. I'm part of this project and I'll be damned if I don't help in some way.

Well you know i've got a website on geocities, and i havent found any problems. However i remember i once exeeded my allowed space and geocities deleted my whole entire site, everything gone. Since then i've created a new site (check my siggy if you want to have a look) and this time ive stayed well under my limit, and ive never had a problem. The reason i like geocities so much is because their html build is soooooo damn esazzzzzyyyy to use.

[majrwest]

I'm trying out a few other places, I've had too many bad experiences with Geocities and the like.

oh ok, there are others like angelfire, other are many others but i cant remember them. Hey if you can get some really cool stuff/work done maybe you could get hosting here (highly doubt it), nodewars or an armarda modding site.

If you want to simpl host brief dev info, just sign up for a free blog and use it to put out status updates.  Works fine for me

[majrwest]

I'm submitting to a few sites that do free banner-less hosting. It's actually looking pretty good. Also, I want everyone's opinion, as well as my good buddies, on the name I've been poking a stick at for this mod:

Freespace: Armada

Whatcha all think?

[Pilot Of The US]

i think it's a little too plain. How about some like the following:

Freespace - the lost generation
Freespace - Mozalium of history
Freespace - (guarding) The tomb of space
Freespace - Everlasting alliance
Freespace - new alliance


And here's a couple i didnt get from the FS2 intro cutscene:

Freespace - Allied Fleets
Freespace - Allied Battlegroups
Freespace - Joint Force/Effort/Command
Freespace - Command (Central)
Freespace2 - Armarda
Freespace 2 Armarda (notice the spacing and absence of the dash )

[aldo_14]

Freespace Armada;

Freespace universe mod for Starfleet Armada

Makes perfect sense to me

[c914]

Freespace Armada simplel and good:nod:

oh man! i really liked Freespace Allied Fleets/Battlegroup.

And why is it just Freespace Armarda, shouldnt it be Freespace2 Armarda? b/c it is a freespace 2 mod, isnt it? (of course i can understand if you're planning to include all the old ships from fs1 like the athena, apollo, etc..)

[majrwest]

Well its the first one, the one for Armada II will be Freespace: Armada II. I believe my good buddy is including FS2 ships as well. I'm not sure, we only talk thru e-mail once in a while. Either he or I will get back to ya asap. I'd assume we were doing both FS1 and FS2 ships, tho I believe that Armada II might be better suited to handling FS2 Ships. Just my opinion as sadly I've never been given the opportunity to play FS2

[Pilot Of The US]

hmm, i remember a Freespace mod for armarda 2 was being made. Im sure it was called Freespace: Fleet Command. That being said i guess Freespace: Armarda isnt bad, but i kinda wanted to get away from using the word armarda in the name of the mod, because as said before, the other one (Freespace: Fleet Command) doesnt include the word Armarda either, but it's your porogitive. So you decide.

Because it's the Freespace universe.

[Pilot Of The US]

Ok, i was wrong. The Freespace mod for Homeworld 2 is actually called "Freespace: Fleet Command", check it out here. . Anyway the name of the Freespace mod for Armarda 2 is "Freespace: Armarda", so you cant use that name.

Anyway the HW2 mod already been released. However I came across another Freespace mod for Homeworld 2, it's called Freespace: New Age, so im a bit confused, is this the same mod renamed or is it a diffrent mod.  If it's the same mod renamed then i guess you could use the name "Freespace: Fleet Command". o

If hasnt been renamed, try Freespace: Allied Fleets or Freespace: Allied Battlegroups?
Or maybe even Freepace: Allied Frontier

[majrwest]

Actually, inspired by another user's comment that its based in the Freespace universe
So why not just use Freespace: Universe

[Pilot Of The US]

well, IMO, i guess it's not that bad, but there's just something about the name. It's not unique enough. You see Armarda was about building a huge fleet of ship and battle each other. I mean it's probably going to be more effective for a homeworld mod. (for obvious reasons like the great story, interface, etc..). And the word universe keep making me think of Freelancer and Treasure Planet.

And you still havent given your opinion about the following names:

Freespace - Allied Fleets
Freespace - Allied Battlegroups
Freespace - Allied Frontier

Personally, I like "Freespace - Allied Frontier".
