The Battle Craft mod is a sci-fi mod set in the year 3204 and human colonization has spread far out into the Sirius and Alpha Centauri star systems. The mod is inspired by several sci-fi games and movies such as Starcraft, Serenity and our imagination.
The mod will make the player able to choose to fight for the Strauss Military Federation (SMF), Aliens and the Shavee Kro. Each race will have their own unique weapons, abilities and attributes such as increased speed for the Aliens, shields for the Shavee and stimpacks for the Humans.
The mod will be multiplayer only and might include COOP maps. The server rotation will have a "Campaign mode" which sets the new map according to which team has won.
Maps will be vary between open battlefields to narrow corridors in space ships and will have a story line.
Races
SMF Humans are equiped with ranged weapons and exoskeletons to combat the foe. These soldiers are often basic militia troops protecting the colonies on the various planets. The colonist galaxy is protected by a spread-thin fleet trying to fight increased alien activity.
The Imperial fleet has just recently invaded the Protectors' homeplanet in the Sirius system but are facing new dangers in the Alpha Centauri system.
Thier classes will be:
Colonial guard
Colonial medic
Mercenary grunt
Imperial commando
Colonial Grease monkey
Shavee Kro are honourable warriors fighting to regain their homeplanet from the humans and to gain honor. Their planets are rich on resources and are well defended. The pro'zul are highly intelligent and have invented shield and warp technology. Their blades are made of clean energy able to cut through the toughest metal. Their somewhat fragile bodies are protected by shields to avoid harm and can be recharged. They have developed dangerous plasma weapons.
The Shavee Kro classes will be:
Zealot
Acolyte
Superior
Energy Craftman
Negotiator
Aliens are a new aggressive species attacking human facilities in the Alpha Centauri system. Reports from an attacked space station tells how the parasite like aliens attach to their host's head and make the host mutate rapidly into deadly fighting machines. They seem resistant to pain, but are weak if the parasite itself is hit.
The alien classes will be:
Drone
Spitter
Beserker
Tender
Infiltrator

im a stupid noob but how do you play a mod?
Battlecraft is not Starcraft. We have taken inspiration from various sci-fi worlds including starcraft but it is not a complete ripoff.
Jeffman, some of the names might be changed but remember Starcraft didnt "invent" the words like zealot and drone. It is Starcraft players who connect the two words.
The Pro'zul are highly religious and with good reason, because their healers get their powers from their gods. The word zealot means fanatic or religious fanatic so it fits perfectly for a warrior.
We started basing the mod off Starcraft but we went away from it and are not going back again.
Hamsterjoe.
The humans, in this case, would be the terrans, because they have all the body armor. The Pro 'zul would be the protoss because of fragil bodies and shields and energy blades. The aliens would be the zerg, because in starcraft, they infest terrans if they can. Otherwise, they just slash them to death.
The idea is good and all, but it isn't that original.
Personally, I think if you are gonna bother making it so much alike, you might as well just base it off of the original. Not saying you have to or anything, it's just.... Look at some of those unit names, I'm sure you would get alot more people for this mod if you just embraced it's herritage.
Sounds more like warhammer 40k
another mod based off starcraft eh? i hope this one actually gets finished.
Cool name ;)
Since Protector was only temporary we have changed the protector race name to Pro'zul.
Pro'zul originates from the Pro'zul capitol planet, Pro'zal.
The humans will still occasionaly call the Pro'zul, for protectors as slang.
Welcome the Pro'zul :)
The website and the forums are back up now.
Nope, the link is correct, but there appears to be a problem with our servers. I am trying to find out what is going on. Hope things won't be down long.
