The new WIP thread for SoA2.
Sins Forums
This Topic is now Closed. A new SoA 2 WIP thread will be started in its place. Do Not Post here.
Try to get it and if you can play it. After all these years you wont be dissapointed. I still have second old comp to play these games haha 
LOL I can't wait to see all of this hard work on my screens. Wish I could help too but my modelling isn't good enough for me to presume to ask 
. Greta shot btw 
The self regeneration on borg ships is not supposed to be auto cast as default (i left the option in, to make it auto cast if you wanted)
and you arnt supposed to used it when in combat although you can, your just stupid if you do (espc if you read the description of the ability "shuts down all weapons and engine power"
Huzzah for canonical borg weaknesses. I was wondering how you guys were going to handle that.
Yup Great work Loki. FYI the canonical borg weakness is from both q who, and best of both worlds where if borg regen they simply sit still and regenerate. They dont fire weapon or move.. They simply "sleep".
Ill be away for a few days working ill check back later.
See ya Stress, have a good trip!
That makes sense Loki not to have it come in autocast, I was just checking whether it was supposed to or not. I kinda knew what it did from the in game description (made sense to me), but when I set it to auto cast the ability it doesn't autocast at all. If I take the ship away from combat and set it to autocast, it will just sit there all stupid and damaged and never repair itself.
nice pics on that starbase and trading station. like it.
I gotta say though that a few things weren't that bad in armada. I really liked their dmg model (though it only makes sense for smaller engagement than you would have in sins) and the missions/ story were ok. of course, ship balance and race diversity were horrible. it was an enjoyable game for me. never liked part II though, too fast, too much for its own good.
borg having sleep as weakness sounds a bit like hypnosis 'listen to my voice, relax, look straight into my eyes. you are tired, you must regenerate ...,'. but yeah, canon ... a good way anyhow. anti-borg cyber war ftw!
I am glad to see that by the board you guys are progressing. I would love to be involved in weapons platform testing because I can see those being very pivotal in game balance. Keep up the good work guys! I am patiently waiting for a good polish 
Armada was fairly amusing to play as far as a brain dead rts goes. It wasn't even remotely canon though. A Borg cube can eat the Enterprise E for lunch without breaking a sweat, to only be about twice as powerful was just silly. For fun, it's one of the better Star Trek games out there, for accuracy it's the worst.
I always felt like the SuperCubes were far more acurate.
Someone got it right that the armada series is "mindless" entertainment. That is exactly what we are trying NOT to do with SoA 2. Along with using art designs that both make sense, and are stimulating to the eye instead of "eyesores"
Lets end the armada debates here. We wont use anything from those games save the phaser turrets which we already have in game
Just to throw this out there, you already have several ships that were created as none cannon for Armada 2.. spesificaly for the rommies. The Rommie ship in the back of this screenshot was an armada 2 design.. Personaly they had a few good designs.. the Raptor seems to be a fairly solid one imo the one in this shot i figured was one of the more crap designs they had put into the game..
Altho i am looking forward to this mod big time, the ship combat motion, the whole concep is well setup and definatly will be a solid mod
Can all the beta testers pm me please I would like to get your messenger ids so we can discuss the beta test thanks josh
What you've got there is the FASA Winged Defender from the Star Trek Combat Simulator board game from the '80s. You can also see the FASA created D-10 Klingon heavy cruiser in the current SoA mod. A few of the ships from that game showed up in various PC and video games over the years. The Orion Wanderer class blockade runner not only showed up in a couple of games, most recently in Star Trek: Conquest on the PS2 (which also had the Winged Defender in there as the Romulan Scout), and even made it in as background material in TNG on a few computer screens!
Man, I loved that game. 
intresting, ya learn something new each day i guess, still cant wait to see the finished version. I still love the raptor class, someone made a new high res model for the excal fan game.. looks sweet
Yeah, why am I surprised the new Patch broke the mod....
Hey Stress & Loki, I can't really talk about it much yet, but something's come up... I'm going to be really busy recording the next few weeks, so I don't know if I'm gong to be able to help you out much after all. Last time this happened I was so busy I couldn't think straight.
When it calms down I'll be in touch.
Yup the mod is broke now. I take it we know it won't work or be easily modifiable to work already? Talk about frustrating! Sorry guys!
I've been reading the new update broke a lot of mods. I'm personally going to wait until my favorite mods are fixed before I upgrade my game.
Yeah I hope Startrek mod will include (or eventually) Sins Plus....
Looking great so far.
