Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.
The Arkonians from the ENT episode 'Dawn' will make their appearance in Ages of the Federation. A humanoid, reptilian species described as paranoid and deceitful, the Arkonians have a long-standing enmity with the Vulcans, who made first contact with the Arkonians but found them to be too untrustworthy to establish good relations.
The Arkonian destroyer seen here is, as many of you might remember, a redress of a model that appeared many times throughout Enterprise as part of the fleets of many species. Variations of the model represented the Arkonians, and more notably the main cruiser of the Xindi Arboreals, and later the bulk of the Tellarites' line of starships, establishing this model as ENT's own 'alien of the week' go-to model.
Nice too see another image after awhile of no pictures for the past Week or so! As always, it looks great!
Most of the work that's gone on in the last few days has been in the guts of the mod - not something you can really show off in a screenshot. Hang tight, more will come. ;)
I had a feeling that'd be the case, do not worry though! I'm fine so long as content is still being worked on in the background. And i'm sure everyone else will agree to that.
Not that I won't like it, but technically the Arkonian vessel is almost the same like the one for the Tellarite and Xindi Humanoids, just with a nother hull colour and slighty modifications. That could maybe cause some confusions.
An easy workaround is that the Tellerites don't build their own ships, but mass produces ships for other races. The Xindi, stolen and rebuilt? IDK on them.
The post-ENT novels ran with that. Tellerites were good engineers, but they didn't actually build their own ships.
That's a good explanation, really. How many countries use Russian or American-built hardware in their militaries? Another analogy might be the Corellian ships from Star Wars; they're sold everywhere and easily modified into what the buyer needs.
