Oh my god! I thought this project had been dropped! Well this looks promising. (What are those models for?)

[SpardaSon21]

They're to fill out some missing ship slots for the UEF fleet, considering they lack a Capella-era fleet to co-exist with their current one.

[Darius]

Looks like a lot's managed to get ingame. How much to go before you start thinking of an initial release?

[SpardaSon21]

A lot of models are in, but their coding needs work in the areas of weapon range (since the fights need to be at much larger distances compared to the screenies) and ship acceleration and turning rates (since the values Sins uses are formulated differently from FreeSpace's so there's no good conversion), so we're still a good ways away from a UEF/Tev release.

UEF/Tev and Shivan to be exact.

No the new ships are going to be New Prototype Models, the blue one is the Horizon Destroyer, the green one is the Phobos Destroyer and the red one is the Mars Super Destroyer.

[Hades]

I'm curious, will the super destroyers be filling in for the position of dreadnought? (Like the Marza etc)

Also, why make the UEF a playable faction? If you're planning to base the game off of Rebellion, they don't have a juggernaut to fit in for the spot of Titan like the GTVA and Shivans would, nor would they have one since it goes against their ethos. Wouldn't they be better utilized as the hostile-to-everyone ships on planets before they're conquered.

What is going to be used for pirates? The GEF?

I would also have waited on the Vexxor since to my knowledge Steve-O hasn't posted his remade version.

e: would it be possible to greatly enlarge trade vessels and make protecting them actually possible? Could cut down on lag and make securing trade routes actually necessary (http://p3d.in/gFvNA you guys could have this as a UEF cargo ship if you need one)

The Super Destroyers or juggernauts will fill the role as titans, Uef will be playable with the mars super destroyer as the titan if it ever gets finished, the uef will be playable as i might have a trick up my sleeve with the shivans and the uef. The pirates are unknown yet, might be the gef or the Vishnans, yet unknown. I already have steve-o's latest vexor, with is in the works of optimizing it and rigging it,

[Hades]

The superdestroyers would fit perfectly as dreadnoughts - the Lucifer was used in a major role as a bombardment vessel, of which dreadnoughts in Sins are used for as well, not to mention the large disparity in firepower compared juggernauts (which would make having them at the same 'level' be illogical) while there's a much smaller gap between destroyers and super destroyers.

Vishnan being pirates wouldn't make a lot of sense either, whereas the GEF would fit magnificently. The Vishnan would have potential to be another playable race, I think.

the lucifer is a capital ship with the role of siege and the gef will most likely be the pirates, with the vishans as another playable race to counter the shivans, but i get where your going.

I don't have any experience modding Sins (although I do play it a lot) but I definitely like the direction this is going in. Keep it up, it looks great!

 Looking awesome, the only complaint I have is the mod's name. It could really use a change. Ex: "Blue Planet: Strategic Command" The current one is not very catchy.

 Everything else looks lovely.
