This is a total conversion of Sins of a Solar Empire. five new playble races will be introduced each with differing play styles and apearances. The focus of this mod will be small and large scale fleet stratagy and empire building.
First encountered in 2532 the ark is the largest of the Nomad ships.
Evidence suggests that it is basically the equivilent to a floating city. Despite having next to no data on the Nomad race themselves extensive Research has been done on the ships themselves. This ship is by far one of the largest artrificial consructions ever encountered measuring almost 50km long it is a true giant of the stars. it is also one of the most deadly forces in the galaxy often arriving in a system with no warning and with a fleet of supporting Nomad ships stripping the world bare and leaving. Much of the technology in use by the nomad has not changed in the years since the dfirst encounter. the ark is the same now as it was 100 years ago. this ship has near inpenatrable shields but comparitivly weak armour and thanks to its antmatter cannons it can rip apart a ship whoes shields are down in seconds.
this will be a unique gamplay element as in addition to the pirate youll also get random nomad fleet spawns. they will randomly jump into a stars gravity well from off map and selct a world in that system they will stop at each plaent they pass and destroy everything there and drain resources which decreases the rate of population growth and decreses the income generated by the planet. once they get ot where they want to go and once they are finished they will jump directly back to the star and leave the system and go off the map again.
The codded will be hard, I hope you can pull it off because I really like the idea.
yea i hope so do im currently gathering a team of the best and the britest (i can find :P) its a suicide mission they may not of heard about that part but when they find out itll be all the more special this way :P
the coding for it will be hard,impossible actually,such a thing would need to be a hardcoded script (that noone can make) youll have to just settle with the nomads being able to strip planets,you cant make them go back off system after they do though.
ps. if your looking for the best your going to need me ;)
lol ok well i need your expertise or else my other coders head going to explode since he can code but doesnt know whats not possible
id be glad to help
sweet im still waiting on our texture guy he said he was making his account now and the company logo since i dont want to use the one we have now
oh and youll be working with another coder who should be turning up in the next few days teach him well
ok
ok i sent u and invite to red gauge
i can also model a good bit but i cant texture or do particles because my PF is broken
thats okay ive got modeling applications out of the wazoo and im putting up another model now behold
ok who here thinks my texturer is going to kill himself when he has to work on this
