Looks good, have you thought about charging the 9 artifacts that you find randomly exploring planets?
I was just wondering because an artifact that shows the location of all gates seems like a good idea or something like the ancient super weapon on Dakara.

I have been working hard lately trying to get new models into the mod to show them off, and here is the Wraith Hive, enjoy.









EO

we have been working on other things right now, like getting new models and such, plus getting the planets and solar systems ideas worked out first. The balancing of the weapons and such will come later on.

Here are a few more shots, I was working on getting all the points correct and everything, even has 50 fighters, single fighters not squadrons. Tell me what you all think.

It's just because of the map. The map's background is one of the really dark ones. It will be more visible against other backgrounds.

UPDATE:

I got back to work on the explosions. I think they look quite a bit better. With the help of Bailknight, I was able to create a 'chain reaction' explosion set.


Capital Ship Final Explosion:


Frigate Final Explosion:


-These were taken from the exact same camera angle and zoom level. I have tried to make the Capital ship explosions really epic. When a capital ship dies, you'll know it.

And here, of course, is a video.

Nice explosions. I have to say though, I think you picked my most disliked metallica song

I must say, I am impressed. The detail on these models are just simply awesome!

I understand that it is a pegasus galaxy mod you are creating, sounds cool. But I hope we will see a ha'tak motheship eventually, as those have the coolest spaceship design I have ever seen.

Anyways, keep up the good work! Looking forward to the release, whenever that might be

So far we are not putting a release date of any kind, dont want the pressure.

And I have an update, here is what i have been doing with the hive, to make her more heavy in polies, being that the game can handle more then A2



And textured

ok everyone, i have a couple update shots on the new hive additions, plus screens of the original ingame with a semi fixed black ship syndrome. Enjoy.

Those are all really good suggestions. The Mark IX's are going to be used only through beaming aboard enemy ships, as of now. The Asgard Core upgrades we already basically have, but I like the idea of another research that further upgrades all of the aforementioned aspects of the ships.

As for the Ancient's weapon platform. I think that might take the place of the Super-weapons such as the TEC'S nuke cannon. Probably have it use an ability with a huge range, but not big enough the cover the whole map..maybe a quarter of a system. Hopefully we can have it target ships and fire a beam at any enemy ship in sight (I believe it's a beam that it fires...it's been a while since I've watched that particular scene.) So, in other words, you have to, say have a cloaked jumper, sitting at the enemy's home planet or other planet and pick off their stronger ships one by one.

Ancient Star Map--Like this idea. I don't know how to get it to do that, but it would be cool if it would work. Maybe it could also decrease travel time between spacegates (hope to have a small delay before actually using a stargate i.e. dialing the gate, connection, travel time, etc.) The Star Map could increase the speed at which coordinates are entered since they would be able to upload all the coord. to their systems.

Basically I like a lot of your ideas. I've been trying to find new areas of research to start on, but I overlooked the most obvious ones. (Human and Ancients). I took them as basically a given. The Ancients 'research' will be much like the Asgard. Where research time would be more accurately describing as exploring, discovery and learning how it works.

Now we only need three more areas of research unless we just completely cut out the second window of research. So, keep the ideas flowing so we can have an expansive research tree.

Thanks,

Can't wait for you to release this mod! I hope it's soon!
