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.

Hey,

 

Just wanted to say, good mod, was watching Battlestar and saw your mod, its a bit hard playing col vs cylon as was my first try 2 v 1 on triad but great fun! Trying to keep the pesky cylon back!

 

Keep up the great work!

The Titans seem to work fine for me - only thing I noticed was the Colonial Titan Abilities (haven't tried Cylon yet) seem a little mixed up. I.e. I have the Rebel Colonial titan, and one of its abilities was labelled as "Snipe Shot" or something to that effect... so I selected it... and it changes into "Furious Defence"

The other abilities look like they are named wrong as well (& Maybe their ability-descriptions?)- so its just something to look out for :)

But.... loving the MOD. The only other thing I noticed was a handful of things (I.e. Colonial Torpedo/Anti-starbase equivalents) have "No String Found" icons on the research tree etc... (So I haven't tried building them.. not sure if they exist yet?)

 

Either way... lots of fun playing as the Colonials. Really great work ZombieRus5 :)

Lol seems like it cus i still get lags on this mod XD

Reply #931 from Sins Forums Top

@ian1246 Thanks for the feedback. 

It kinda got lost in the previous pages but the current version of this mod for both Diplomacy and Rebellion is fairly bare bones with mainly model assets and some balance work. I plan to rip apart the research trees and abilities over the next 5-6 months rebuilding them from scratch. Basically I was waiting for Rebellion to release before tackling this because I wanted access to all the new modding toys for Colonial and Cylons to hopefully differentiate them even further from the current faction sets.

It was a fan submission in the thread here a while back.

Ultimate ability for Titan (Colony): Total Atmospheric Expulsion: Atmosphere is literally "sucked" away from the planet, rendering it uninhabitable due to the atmosphere being destroyed (affect would look the same as the Vasari "Drain Planet" ability. I think that one of the Vasari Titans will have this ability?)

 

I may or may not make it uninhabitable. I may also have it drop allegiance to zero if a starbase is protecting the planet.

Thanks, these are rough design ideas based on suggestions or my own design. I like to put them on paper and shuffle things around some before I actually code them out.

Should sooooo make it uninhabitable. This fits with the Cylon ethos.. What use do they have of colonising/holding planets? Thats how they would defeat their enemies, by choking their resources/habitable planets.

To counter it, there could be an ultimate ability (through research, or through a particular ship) that can "terraform" a planet that has been rendered uninhabitable, to reverse the effects of Total Atmospheric Expulsion.

Or at least make it uninhabitable for a long period of time!

Since 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.

Oh, okay.  I was worried it would be irreversible like SttC, just without the stripping.

Reply #948 from Sins Forums Top

I completely forgot I had this mod, was trying to get some of the more annoying achivements, like those civ only tec research ones. gotta see the Cetus Battlestar tonight. 

 

this may be a odd question but why dose everyone call it a Galactica class Battlestar? i thought it was a Columbia class.

Reply #949 from Sins Forums Top

Columbia Class Battlestar is a fannon name. Now, what I want to know is why Pegasus class? It has been stated that it is a Mercury class.

Reply #950 from Sins Forums Top

I thought it was called a Pegasus class in this mod.   besides isn't Galactica class fannon?  I'm sure TOS identify s it as a Columbia class.
