Idea-Scifi Mix Battle Thread - SAGE 2D & 3D fans

I had this thought while I was modding YR, yet I think RA3 might be better.(And it may be nigh impossible in YR)
The Mod revolves around The three likly groups in most Sci fi stories, Earth, Space people(Colonist) and Aliens. In the mod, each of the three sides will use units from famous Sci fi stories, Like the Earth Federation would Use XA-20 Razorback, Mammoths, and units from Earths Future, The Colonist Use more Exotic units, like Mechs, Power Armors Dropships, and Aliens would use things like Heat rays, plasma and other non human such.

I'm sorry I cant form the idea well, as I just started on the details, and still trying to get idea's going. I wish to know what you think?

*PS, I am learning to mod RA3, yet I don't have 3dmax, yet I use Blender, so I can model, and I can code.

Slightly confused: Is this an extension of C&C, as you mention Mammoths, or separate altogether?

I always like aliens and scifi, but as you said "The three likely groups in most sci fi stories". Isn't the usual idea to try and move away from what is most likely?

It just seems like you're not really doing anything new. But as you said, you just started on the details, so perhaps you have ideas on what would make this unique! So I'll keep an open mind for new details.

Probably Zombolt meant tanks just alike Mammoths (in size, shape, firepower). ;-)

An interesting idea, and yup, maybe more factions or more varied ones, would make it even more interesting.

What about "superstates"? Maybe you could use the concept of multi/superracial states/factions? I mean Aliens + Humans together, but in different factions, with different aims, and different ways to realise their agendas.

Ok, sorry for being confusing, I get that when I start, yet here goes again.
This mod might start as a homage to Scifi. It is not necessarily what's new, it the interaction of whats there.

The Earth Side wouldl be made up of units from/inspired by Halo, Clancy, Ace Combat, Tiberium, Stargate and such. This group is ment to be based on the more realistic scifi

The Colonist side would be made up of units from/inspired by BSG, Gundam, macross, starwars, and such. This group is ment to be impractical, yet more powerful.

The Aliens would be made up of Units from/inspired by Predator, War of the Worlds, Starcraft, Half life 2, and such. This group is ment to be the most unique as they dont use natural rules.

If this dose not strike the fancy of people, then units Inspired by would also work.
This train of thought is still starting, and I usually mess up the explanation, so I hope I made it a little clearer.

Yup. ;-) Well, it's somewhat banal. :-) I meant more interaction between factions, there's always this bias that one extraterrestrial faction doesn't work with others, or consists purely of members of the same race.

You could flavour it a bit by adding the concept of e.g. slavery of humans by this 3rd/2nd faction, ie they use humans and robots as servants, and humiliate them. Not just destroy or fight - but also capture and abuse.
