I guess that the two resources in this are going to be minerals from planets and nebula gas. (on the planets, I guess orbiting platforms that launch small Elysiums that come and go to the planet's surface getting materials from the mining sites)

On nebula gas, you have gas miners to collect that, probably nebula gas is heavilly used in capships for the fuel, etc. etc.

Warp being replaced with subspace... hrmm the wormhole code might work there. (wormholes with some edits as-is can be used as inter-system nodes, for ships as reinforcements to arrive, or enemies as in that one Armada 2 mission with the Borg Portal)

On installations, I'm guessing the GTVA uses Ganymedes for ship construction, while Arcadias are the "command hubs" (research, construction of gas miners, freighers, and heavy transports)

Cargo depots ("built" actually deployed by freighters) would probably be places for deploying various cargo types, and a ship can dock to it (having transports arrive for capships to pick up cargo) to gain a "powerup" like repairs, etc. Pretty much depots would be like small bases for fleets, able to repair, reload, etc. Similarly sentry turrets would be deployed by freighters.  The two "real stations" would probably take an eternity to build, so depots would be important.

Transporters for crew could easily be replaced with Elysiums shuffling between them. Similarly Argos could be used for marine operations.

For the Shivans, I suppose they'd do gas mining, and their inter-system subspace node is where they "build units." (i.e. sentry guns and depots deployed by freighters, calling in capital ships, etc.) I'm guessing how to kill the Shivans is a meson bomb on the node or somesuch.

This should be interesting ;)

hmmm..... i got the FLAK working now.  a nice little artillery mod.  has that nice FLAK sound too.  so Thorn... you make ships huh?  like what, if i may ask? glad to have your help.

what kind of ships do people want in the game, aside from the standard ships from FS2... i wonder if there are any ships people made that they want to see in this?  the FS2 pallet would be kind of short in the Captial ship department.  I think there are enough fighters, but still room for more.  as for cruisers... we see... a fenris, a Leviathan, a Diemoes, an Orion, and a Hecate fro the Terran side.  So GrayFox introduced the Caliburnus, and the Hammer and some new battlecruisers.  love to show you the Caliburnus, Red5 has some pics., though not textured yet.

hey Red5, when should we start asking for ship name requests?  I like doing that, so far i wrote down most of the ships in FS2 and put them with there respective classes, I can make up a crap load of names out of the blue..... Makunaina, Liu Pei, Atlas, Kahya, Iapetus, Tydareus, Ramayana, Kalanemi, Uriel, Deohako.... heh, so i think mainly they need Shivan names, i mean...... well there ships are desegnated from Hindu mythology right? Vasudans by ancient Eygpt... so...... hm?

Well, guess it would be another run to the local PC store, if only it sold Armada 2. :mad:

But if you finish it, then I'm gonna get it, even if I have to kill (or worse) to get it.

Nice.... very nice...

I wonder if something like that would be possible with Conquest Frontier Wars?...
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

Research and stuff should be done by Arcadia add-ons and Faustus's.

Don't forget to add the Lucifer and a Meson ship.

well the design is still in progess some what and open to change...We do know that we plan on having arcadia's as main bases for the terrans, cairo's for the vasudans (with owners permision if he'l give it) make or use a fs community shivan and ancient base, maybe arcadia or boedacia for ancients...


 It would be cool to have other stations just like armada though too...Like a CEARC ((Combat Evaluation And Research Center) to research fighter special weapons...

An SOC Facility to create big special weapons..Or a whiteslide class research station... or a GTI science facility...theres all kinds of idea's were unsure where exactly to go so far...any more ideas ??

Bigger, bader, meaner Warships. :D
i sent you some better pics of one, maybe better to see then the last. what the common poly count for FS ships?

We must kill that Evil ST insignia. Bah after lunch... and after a Beer or two.

so I need Hull designs for the mod.  we dont have enough ships yet.  we have to have at least 80 ships in the mod, that at the bare minimum.  how many ships are in FS2? well we still need more ships! whoooo Hooooo! get some fast shooter flyboys! The Meson will be launched from a Tritan and the Lucfifer (Lucifer is the latin term for Phosphorus) will crush kill and destroy those pesky Orions!


Lets take advantage of that Warp in Gate, In therory it would take over a year to build an Orion, so lets just Warp one in.... thats were the money comes in.  Money money money!! you rich bastards, you are gonna get payed big time if your on an Orion!

That doesn't look like Star Trek: Armada, is it Star Trek: Armada 2?
