An update, such that it is. I have done nothing. I've dabbled, but nothing of substance. I've thought about things I should do, could do, but always there was something more interesting to do.
I'm in contact with some other modelers who have been working on quite a few SST bug ground models for another game. They are lower poly versions but I'm hoping to get access to them to use as a 3d guide in creating higher poly versions for my own use.
I've received a high poly model of the Roughnecks Ape Marauder and the Roughnecks Dropship from the same talented Blender modeler who lent me his fantastic Retrieval Ship model so I can recreate them in a lower poly version.
I've considered moving the mod to another game, C&C.
I've also seen some of what will be Skinny ships created by Rico. They are really good and have a unique look for their alien style. Totally different from the Terrans.
I'm also attempting to improve my skinning abilities again. I plan to redo the bug textures to a more colorful style and improve the Terran's style as well.
Anyway, That's about it. The mods not dead, yet.
Cheers,

go 2 c&c 3 that is a great game to mod on the things you can do on that is endless.
thats only if you want to go away from eaw
C&C 3 is the best as far as potential but is overly complicated to mod. I've made a few small mods for it and it was a most unpleasant experience. If enough experienced modders of C&C3 were interested in helping I would seriously consider it but only if it still allowed me to continue with this mod.
Please keep this mod on EAW!
wow its good see your still around
i think itd be good to stay with eaw just because all the space stuff youve done so far would be amplified by the land battles being added.
but its your mod and its yours decision
we'll stand by you
good luck
Indeed good to see your still here and at the very least planning work. I would say its a shame to see you got to C&C but thats just me being selfish though, because the last C&C I got for PC is red alert 2. Either way you go good luck though.
I don't think if I did eventually port it to C&C that I would stop this one. The space aspect would be useless in C&C and I've got a lot invested in that particular part.
i saw some off the modder ppl on cnc that change the gameplay that allowed them to make a space battle thing on there never tryed it out and the photo i saw off it well did not look good.maybe for land on this mod just make marines and some bugs don't have to go crazy with it and added 100 off lands units because if you watch the movies there really ever had marines on it i noe that the cartoon off it had other things but maybe just keep this too the movies with just marines and bugs attacking each other.
just a though good luck on decideing on what to do
The movies sucked, and added up, the show was far more canonical, being closer to the book, and having FAR MORE SCREEN TIME. If I had my way, and this was my mod, (Im not saying I don't like this mod) I would SOLELY base the land combat after the animated show.
