Jeasus man what do you get paid =P anyway i cant agree on AC or escorts... so i just get both...

To each his own, we all need something to do .

I think I'll try out some escorts in my next game, although I have no idea when it'll be.

Currently my IN fleet is going to look something like this (be warned, this changes with my mood, but I rather like this one, so it'll at least see play):

1x Emperor
1x Mars
1x Dictator
1x Dominator
3x Gothic
2-3x Dauntless

It's got a dictator for close in fighter support, an emperor and mars to put their firepower into what needs it most (crippling ships that are damaged, and the like) and churn out enough bombers to make the other guy faint, while the dominator toasts prows and the gothics just try to shoot both broadsides. Going in, it's got quite a few Nova cannons to keep ships from combining turrets, and a lot of torpedos for herding purposes. The dauntlesses are there to slash at rears and generally be a huge nuisance, or to outmaneuver the other guy's flankers and be annoying that way. 9 lances are nothing to laugh at, after all. What do you guys think?

I'm sorry, I'll talk about the mod some now. I'll try to get sins plus so I can work on the planets, hopefully I'll be able to get them done tomorrow so I can start playing with ship speed, maneuverability and that fun stuff.

Skinners would be a great help.

Now, on the mod, xthetenth, did you want me to take some detailed shots of some ships? as in top/bottom/side/front/rear photos, so you can use them as a reference when modeling? any particular ships you want?

A fair list I should say.

And actually, if all goes according to plan, I should be using a very sizable chunk of my fleet. something along the lines of between 2-3k on an opening battle sequence with two of my friends. One plays imperial and the other is playing orks. And seeing as we dont want to make anyone *cough* orks *cough* feel ganged up on, it'll be a three way fight.

Take the battle of pelucidar in the armada handbook, and modify it by having two imperial factions duking it out for three turns or so while the orks build up, and then let the mayhem begin.

So me thinks I'll be taking a very generous mix of ships, including a mobile reserve to deal with any unforseeables.

I would -love- an epic battle of...well..epic proportions. It'd be fun, take forever....and....well...be fun!

And as for my reasoning for the large 'stable' of ships, is that As much as it'd be cost effective to have one, maybe two battleships and maybe a third of my list, im basically getting a variety and number of everything. I think the only ships to have only one copy in my fleet lists will be each of the four battleships, and one copy each of the endurance and defiant light cruisers.

just ignore the attention seeker. wut a fag, he must have no life, joining sins just for that. pfft, those people make me sick- they are the scum of the earth and are the reason we have wars/poverty/unequality. i hope he dies.

anyway, any progress on the mod?

Sounds good. No luck on skinners though...


And I think it actually falls under all three.

Hello, I'm very happy to meet you, we need a skinner really badly, and in all honesty, if you can get a texture done that's better than a flat color, that'll be doing us a major favor. Sorry I'm on so little anymore, but I have to sign on to a phone connection to get about a minute of time online, so I've kind of given up on it.

Cool, I can certainly do more than a flat colour. If I can get access to one or two model files (any format is probably ok) then I can start work.

no, getting online, don't worry, I'm still working on the mod, it's just hard for me to communicate. Strawbdragon, if memyselfi1119 is on AIM or xthetenth is on MSN, that's me, and feel free to get in contact, even though I'm not in the models department, I work on the code end of things.

Okay, thanks, hope she does. That'd be a huge help.

we dident create this thread and the thread creator has nothing to do with the mod... i just saw a thread and decided not to make a second

on another note discussions on our modcraft forum are debating whether or not we should put all the ships for all the races in or only ones that fit into the rolls to make it so you aren't spoilt for options. i think all ships because we can and they are all defined and different... our tech tree man says that we should stick with the rolls so i thought we should see what you guys thought on the matter

so everyone what do ya think.

The Emperor protects

well we have the models already and the code all we need is a tech tree to go with it
its a mater of gameplay and if you guys want the selection... i know i do
