All hail the glorious Cardassian Union!
Cardassian and Dominion Stations
A lot of you have been waiting to see a glimpse of the Cardassian Space stations and what better place to start than none other than Deep Space Nine stations the Nor Class. The Nor Class Outpost was a heavily armed and armoured station used by Union forces primarily as a planet control outpost for Cardassian control over other races.
The station was made predominantly famous by the TV Series deep space nine and we have a short clip below of some of the most iconic scenes.
As well as the Nor Class the Cardassian lineup has been finished off with the EVAS class a tribute to the legendary John Eaves who made so many of the star trek ship designs come to life you can see more from John from his original blog.
We then finish off our round up with the Monac Class station for the dominion which was the final chosen design for the main dominion star base chosen to be represented in the actual series though we have to admit that both stations are beautiful in their own right.
Superweapons.
So far each station has featured an iconic super weapon and with both the Cardassian and Dominion stations we offer you the Lance Super weapon which projects a powerful blast along a straight line, as a player you can target throughout your gravity well and damage any ship caught in the path of the blast. (Just try to be a better shot than I)
You can see more of these new stations in the new dev diary video below.
thanks for catching up with us here at STA3 CTA and we cant wait till our next diary where we move on to new subjects around the mods development such as artillery and turret control.
would be awesome to see some abandoned Nor stations occsionally :P
like Empok Nor etc.
I hope these and other starbases slowly turn :o
Not that there is anything else more important to make
Ah right, of course, because it must be exceptionally time consuming to make them rotate. Not as if one of the Kingon's starbases don't rotate already, oh wait... It does.
Sorry but don't forget, it's the little things that also make games/mods nice. Some people actually appreciate little touches like that. Just like how people enjoy being informed via dev diaries or articles.
Wow... look at that detail!
c'mon! hurry up! bring it out! bring it out! bring it out! XD
Can't wait!
good job
****, NEW DEV DIARY, YES!
^^awesome comment award!
Awesome, just awesome!^^
But I still hope, that the Dominion will be a seperate (playable) faction too. For what all these different new Dominion ships, if not.^^
Nice vid guys. Looking forward to amassing a vast fleet of Dominion vessels with which to crush all who dare oppose the Founders! =P Oh alright, I might play ONE GAME as a Cardassian...happy!? =P
This might be on a bit of a tangent, but I just wanted to say that I REALLY like how you're using the music from the actual DS9 soundtrack. I'd love to have more music from the all of the TV series in the mod if at all possible (I know licencing can be a bit of a grey area). I know It's not a priority, but having the music from TNG, DS9, or Voyager is just one of those little things that goes a long way to making feel like a true Star Trek experience. Regardless, I really love the mod and am eagerly looking forward to the next release. Cheers!
Definitely in agreement with more music. The current music is fine but more variation is definitely needed as you sometimes hear the same track over and over.
I just wanted to say how much I love the fact that you take the time to document and share your progress in these dev diaries. Thanks so much :)
Amazing work as always. Can't wait for the update!
I know you guys are doing this for free and I appreciate the work you put into this, but for the love of God, please release something soon. I cant take these teasers anymore. I want to play with the Dominion/Cardassians and have my own Dominion War.
This Mod is so great, its really hard waiting all this time ...
XD I agree. Besides... the dominion has "bug"ships. So I'm ok with a alpha version :-)
