I know that this will be immediately rejected and such, but combining the Ancients, Asgard and the Tau'ri into one faction may not be too bad an idea. If you think about it, the Tau'ri have... simple... ships that barely pass as a threat, placing them well as frigates. The Asgard, as powerful as they are, still don't have all to many powerful ships, but still enough to get them by as powerful cruisers. Ancients? Well, they have ships that definitely classify as capital ships.

Now that doesn't mean that the fanon content already completed cannot be fit in. I am just suggesting that the Tau'ri are the next holders of the Ancient's flame (as the Asgard had been, as well) and used quite a bit of Asgard and Ancient technology, especially since they were allies to every extent.

Yes, I have been playing too much Stargate Empire at War for FoC.

This is basically what's going to happen. But not really the way you want I think. Though there will be no Asgard and Ancient ships for the Tau'ri, (with a few possible exceptions. i.e. Aurora) much of the Tau'ri's power comes from research subjects using Ancient and Asgard technology. I'm sure several ships will have some Asgard or Ancient design aspects to them.

I am planning a strong planetary defense for the Tau'ri that uses a similar design to the Ancient's super-satellite weapon. It will have a bit of an Ancient look to it(hopefully) and use a similar beam type weapon. Though, it will be a lot weaker than the actual satellite. It won't be able to kill one ship instantly, but will be able to withstand a little more than the the satellite in the show. I am currently putting the final touches on the research tree as it stands now and more info will come shortly.

Hi remember me...(sure you do)

So as first change in your mod you should change the wraight hive (it looks made in lego) secondly if you want we have the Poseidon and the Achilles coming up as for the basic ship of all the other races.

Just a little to add,
The Satellite weapon in the show was not only 10,000 years old but also badly damaged and probably had shields.

Thats all-

see, when u talk like this, its considered rude...

if i was a dev, i would just show u up, but thats me

See heres the thing Piper i know you think your awesome and good but next time you get an idea and i want you take this to heart first think about what your gonna say, then call yourself a retard, then look for the closest person have them call you a retard and then think some more (i know its hard for you but yeah try it anyways) and then take that idea and shove it where the sun dont shine because people like you dont just make my good friend EO angry but you do indeed slow down the progress of all mankind so again next time you think stop yourself before you look like a tard

So umm.... I'm going to go out of a limb here and hope I don't sound like an idiot or anything....

1. This is an awesome idea, love it.
2. When/where can I get this? Cause I don't want to wait

thank you for saying that you think its awesome, and right now there is no set date on when it will be released.



Ok Piper, Im willing to work with you, but when you go and say things like this, it kinda makes me want to think twice about doing so. That Hive is version 1 of the model, the new model is a lot better being that we have more polies to work with. Please refrain from making rants like this, it makes our team feel like you are taking a dump on us, which isn't cool.

Having won a Lego contest, I'm qualified to say that it does not look like it was made out of Lego's. Aside from the dark atmospheric qualities of the screen shots you posted, I'd have figured it was final.

Piper, anal-retentive. Look it up. You seriously need to take a chill pill, when you go nurse Ratchet on other peoples work it's just going to hurt your own mod in the popularity department. If you have constructive criticism, it needs to be given politely, and without grotesque exaggeration.

This is constructive, i don't want to be in anyway mean with you, I just want to say that it needs... in facts the only things he needs is to re work those things on the rear sides, more included in the ship because the main structure is really great.

Anyway if you consider it like your last shots, it's it's just my opinion.

I'm sorry if you thought that it was to take you down, it was just an opinion do whatever you want with it.

PIPER

p.s. I love the ship on the 3rd screens shots.

UPDATE:
I finally had enough free time to get some stuff done. I've added a lot of new research and changed a few values from previous research.

I've overhauled all of the hit effects. Some of them you will be able to distinguish from previous overhauls, others maybe not.

Redid to the Missile Smoke thanks to Lost_Wld for the help on that.

Added new Wraith Hive Explosion. In the serious, when a Hive blows up a blue shock wave is emitted. The effect I have now is the closest thing to a noticeable shock wave.

Yes, I realize the Hive's shield doesn't fit and is green. The shield mesh has not been created yet, and the shield color will be altered at a later point. The color is still set to the default Advent color which, apparently is green. This is only noticeable because I have changed the Shield Pipeline effect for a later point in the mod. The Tau'ri, though have better looking shields since they are blue instead of puke green.

And, of course, any and all comments and constructive criticism is welcome.

At long last, another video:
-I apologize for the lag in the video. I'm not sure why it's doing that. It only lags when I have Fraps recording, so I don't think my particle count is too high, but I will double check it just in case.

Youtube Video


-Also, I will be going on vacation in a week and will be out of contact for about a month. So, don't expect anything new during this time on my end of the mod. Sorry.

Here is a new model I have been working on, started out as a replica of a model from Empire Earth I started ages ago, and started to rebuild it to make it high poly, and then, before i added the detail, it hit me... make it Wraith. lol so here it is, starting from the begining.

basic Mesh


Started adding the detail


and here is a comparison of the Hive to the Spire.

The new researches look strangely familiar, lol

Anyway derbal213, When I said for two bc304s to be able to kill a hive when fully upgraded and only sustain minor damage....Um one exploding and the other barely surviving isn't what I meant.
But thats just me.

Good luck with the mod guys,
Bloodfang99

Ha. Your research tree was the entire basis for mine, but I'm going to be moving some stuff around. For your efforts in the research tree, I am greatly thankful.

As for the balance of the mod...
I realize it still needs to be balanced better and will work on that more later. The main focus of that video was to show off the effects I've created thus far. And the scene with the 304's vs. the Hive was merely to show off the missile smoke and the explosions from the missiles.

I also want to take this time to add a couple things to my previous post regarding the research. Shields for all of the Tau'ri ships are going to, initially, be really low. But the first shield research is a Tier 1 research with an extremely cheap prerequisite. It will be easy to get at the start of the game and will increase shields by 25%.
-Also, all shield researches have a prerequisite that relatively follows a time line similar to the shows.
-Goa'uld shields -->Asgard Shields -->Ancient Shields.
-We started our ships off with technology reversed engineered from Goa'uld design, then got some help from the Asgard, finally discovering Atlantis and taking some of their designs.


-Finally, I will be working really hard to get a lot done for the mod in the next week before I leave on vacation. And for a week, I will have some time to work on my laptop while on vacation. Then, in about two weeks, I will post again with all progress I've made to further the mod. After that post, though, I will be entirely out of contact for about 3-4 weeks and will not have access to my computer.
-If anyone is interested, I would like someone to work with me during the next week and possibly the week after (depending on whether I have internet access on vacation). Then, when I am gone, they could help EO with some of the coding aspects.

I just posted this mod as it's own thread but Derbal suggested I join the discussion here.

Anyways, I have no idea if this works with what you've got planned already but here it is.

Working, standalone SG Ancients (full unique entities for the entire fleet, research trees and abilities):
dolynick_SG-Ancients-0.90b

It is in desparate need of some unique models. Particularly for the Atlantis City Ship capital.

I was toying with moving on to the Wraith, Asgard or Gua'uld next - if I'm satisfied with the balance of the Ancients as they stand so far.

-dolynick

hi i'm new here but a huge fan of stargate but i can't find the download link

dolynick -- would you be interested in joining us ?? Your help would be greatly appreciated and I suppose that way with one stargate mod everyone benefits, but I don’t want to stop you doing your own mod of course. Neways if you interested in joining speak with EO

Loki

great work there loki, though I told you that on MSN earlier. I have some more shots of the Spire, tell me what you think of that, plus i have an update shot on the bc304 project. I put it to the side awhile ago, but decided it was a good idea to take it up again.

Spire work



BC304 work

where is the download link(what page)

Hey guys, please make sure to remember some of the buildings aswell yeah? Like the Ancient satelite that owned the wraith the first time they came at Atlantis. That would be an awesome weapon in sins. for the asurans you can have the city itself mabey? now that would be a site to see in game.

--EO-- very nice work ^^ cant wait to show people the atlantian city ^^ in all its glory

-- Maulderin -- yea the city is in ^^ and well i wont say anymore as all will be revealed about it at a later date  , jep the satelite weapon is also in too and many other things ^^

--aerialace -- there is no download link as of yet as its no where near finished

I just finished up the BC304 textures, tell me what you all think, some stuff still needs to be done, but it looks good if I do say so myself.

Stunning

hey i was thinking maybe u guys should do like a pre-release or somethink like keep all the really good things for the final release but like give us somethink to drool over but thats just n idea
