Planning a mod, Epic ships and Battle stations :)

but i need help

from Sins Forums

 

Ahoy there,

I am planning a mod for SINS during my holidays but i need a bit of help as i am new to modding.

I guess first i will let you know the concept behind it:

Basicaly i want to add, for each team, one very large, very mean epic unit,  One large, powerfull, expensive battle station, think that first station you put around a newly discovered planet, to protect it while you gain a foothold. (thinking this station could possibly handle construction of Epic unit, as well as other ships.)

I have XSI mod tool, for models, but i dont know much about it.

Anyone who knows how i can make models, export them and incorporate them into the tech tree, please help?

Cheers

Somebody is evidently not a Macross fan.

An excellent name would be the WMD mod for Weapons of Mass Destruction, which this mod certainly will have. If Lost_WLD lets you use some of his particle effects among other things for this mod, then we are seriously talking mass destruction. I love this mod and its ideas. Another source for stuff would be Kreyson's Battlewagons mod for help with buffing the capital ships. Anyways, if a beta tester is needed for this mod, I'm available. Hell, Alpha tester even.

that name does have a nice ring to it, one that just popped into my head was sins of a solar empire: Escalated engagement... maybe? effects wise, i am holding out for sins 1.1, hoping they will grace us with better explosions... vanilla explosions = instant fail  :(

sounds like a name better than any I'd come up with. I got Bailknights 1.2 and the capital ship explosion in that mod is epic, but 1.3's explosions are going to be even better. So either wait for 1.1 or 1.3
