Quick synopsis

This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach.

Colonial Fleet

Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

Right now they are Galactica and Pegasus class mainly because they say Galactica and Pegasus on the side.

I'd like to create a generic Columbia and Mercury class without the text on the sides but still leave the Galactica and Pegasus as separate entities people could use in maps or in flagship mode. Also, the Galactica would be good in flagship mode.

Ok, done. I now have a generic Mercury and Columbia class Battlestars. These will be the buildable options while the Galactica will be part of Flagship Victory and the Pegasus will be available for Maps and future addons.

Yes! I know this might come out wrong, but, will you release the militia addon, when you have the other part of Sotf remotely done?

I'll take a look at what I have. I haven't started tearing anything down yet, so I might be able to release those before I do. Once I start tearing things up there won't be any releases for a while.

Thanks, still a few rough edges to sort out. Plus I'd like to get some more unique research in with some of the new Rebellion modding goodies. Some of the research will only be available to the loyal/rebel split too which I haven't fully decided on yet.

Quoting ZombiesRus5, reply 940Since it's an ultimate, I'd be ok with uninhabitable.

Problem with that is that a single player can do a scorched earth tactic on the map, ruining all the enemy worlds so the other players have permanently reduced income and orbital slots, putting them at a permanent disadvantage.

I was thinking more like the Novalith with some finish condition.

Edit basically, it would instantly kill a planet, but the Cylon faction wouldn't be able to immediately colonize it.

Why don't you just give the Cylons the "stripped to the core" research ability like the Vasari? You could actually give one to each faction ie. Total Atmospheric Expulsion to the Cylon rebels, and Stripped to the Core to the Cylon loyalist.. would make more sense that Cylon Loyalists (who hate humans) would want to eradicate human planets...

That's so weird though! What do they plan to do with it? How can they release something that is half done (if that)

Successfully updated karma reason!

Oh... and GoaFan77 (or anyone else!).... another quick question. For the "Strip to the Core" ability for Vasari, would it be possible to mod this ability so that after the strip has happened, that the planet is converted to an asteroid belt rather than a dead asteroid? Could that be done?

Successfully updated karma reason!

Quoting Mord_Sith84,

reply 973

Yes, this can be done. The type of planet entity the planet converts to when stripped is moddable.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Are you going to give cylons "stripped to the core"?

I also think that the vasari's "mobile rulership" and "shipboard labs" would suit them - considering that cylons do not need planets.

Successfully updated karma reason!

Imagine giving the Cylons the Colony as a Titan, epic much?
