Is anyone making this MAP (not MOD)?

from Star Trek?

This link above is a map of the entire Star Trek space.  I was wondering if anyone was going to tackle this as a possible map for Sins?

Isn't there enough Star Wreck threads. Why did you create another one?

Here's an idea. If we can get enough people to play the Star Trek mod then that will take more players away from the online game and we can wreck the multiplayer experience, hence the term Star Wreck.

I don't see anything wrong with the actual game that you have to go and change things up. I might try your mod in 3 years, but first I'm going to have some fun with the actual game.

Speak for yourself, i for one am eager to try the BSG, Star Treck, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Dawn of Victory mods.

As to multiplayer, it already seems more geared towards playing with friends over random people.

Seriously..and i think your way off on it messing up online play, there can't anything wrong with having more races/ships to pick from

I hope tho that each mod adding race/ships/tech can be installed into the game, not just as a 'mod'...that way you can play said race with game as is OR with your favorite mod

So instead of just having the 3 races to pick..you could have.. however many people decide to make :p

All sounds good to me!!

Sounds like an extremely bad WoW name.

And the modders are smarter than you are, they probably won't overwrite the files of sins, instead make it a separate program so you still have the original game to play online.

For a start... I never used the word MOD. I love the game as it is, Races, Units, everything. I HATE Star Trek and Star Wars... I would just love to see a MAP that big and that detailed.

READ stuff before being a t**t. (Thats aimed towards the first reply, not anyone else. I love everyone else... they're not T**TS.)

I do speak for myself.

Don't be offended. Like I said, I will try your Star Trek mod in about 3 years.

In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy the ACTUAL game online first.

I just think it's a rude "slap in the face" to the game developers to speak of mods so soon.

Kruelgor, you are a weird, weird man. READ his reply: map, not mod. And not HIS map, he was asking for someone to make one.

Don't you think devs can speak for themselves as to whether or not they consider mods an insult?

My 2 cents: that looks like an awfully large map, but it would be cool to see a themed, named map to represent the Star Trek universe. A pre-Cylon war BSG map would be neat too.

Yes, I am different. Very different.

I'm not talking about his map. I'm talking about the Star Trek mod.

By the way, he edited his post. Just look at what sub-category he posted in - "MODDING". Haha...

I wanted to use [MAGOG]Kruelgor but the forum settings wont allow it. So, Kruelgor the Great it is. Get use to it. I'll be around for a long time to come.

Back on topic, how many planets are there HornedBeast? And why is Paris the UFoP's capital?

Well, I hope you learn to read a bit better. His unedited title was "Is anyone making this map", so you still misread.

He also posted in this section because, whether you've realised or not, there is no 'Mapping' section. And there have been plenty of posts to do with mapping, nearly as many as modding.

To the OP, a very large undertaking, but if you could pull it off, then it would be nice. I like El-Tea's idea of a BSG Pre-Cylon map, that would be very interesting to play on, especially when the BSG mod is released.

Lol. Cheers for the backup guys. I hate ppl like that. They come along and just talk crap thats completely off topic, without even reading what I posted. Yes, I adjusted the thread title, but more as a mockery of Kruelgor the Great (which he hadn't even realised was why I changed it), and to hopefully stop more d**ks from coming here and p***ing everyone off.

Just had a quick chat with my friend - we're gona start work on a SECTION of the map (not the entire thing) to start with, see how we get on.

I would just like to see the planets and stars in their correct positions with their correct names. I'm not TOO worried about using an actual Star Trek mod or anything, like I said in a previous post, im not too bigga fan of Star Trek.

However, I am a fan of Battlestar. If anyone knows of any MAPS or MODS for Battlestar, let me know!

P.S. Cheers to the guy that pointed out that me putting this thread in the "modding" section was my only choice. No "map" categories here im affraid! Maybe this forum needs one?

Ever think there was a reason that the developers created a modding section for their forum? Or provided assistance and guidance in the creation of mods, as well as in-game support for activating those mods? How is it possible for it to in any way be an insult, when it's obviously a large part of what they intended for the game to be?

I saw someone else's thread about this and he had about 20 planets made and was looking for someone to help him. You should seek him out and discuss more about this :)

They made Mods possible to appease those who are dissatisfied with the actual game, or for those who become bored with the actual game. GOOD GRIEF! You haven't even gave the actual game a chance yet. I just think it's rude. I certainly wont be playing any dumb mod in the first few years.

Haha! You obviously know me not. I am the clan leader of MAGOG (Military Alliance of GOG) (www.magogclan.com website will be updated soon for SINS). If you do not know me yet, you will.

I've been posting on the forums over at World in Conflict (massgate.net) for 6 months. The same kind of trolls tried to run me off at the beginning, but in the end I won. This is because I speak the truth, and nothing but the truth. If you can't handle it then you will have to learn how.

I'm also on the side of the developers. I look at things from their point of view.

Yes, we know... You've said a dozen times already. Does it please you to keep saying the same things over and over again? Its normally the sign of a Crack habit or some kind of mental distrubance.

With the regards to the guy already making this map, I shall leave him too it if thats the case. My original intention was to see if someone was doing it, rather than me make it myself. I shall hunt them down and see how they're getting on!

Your also a cock.

I speak the truth, but I'm not a cock.

I doubt the developers spent a huge amount of time on the MOD tools, just so no-one uses them. Try again...

Sometimes it is necessary to repeat something to make people understand.

By the way, I have no idea what you are referring to. I repeated what?

Bit full of yourself, aren't you? a huge ego, a holier than thou attitude, and an absolute disdain for a large part of the community is a bad thing, not a good thing.

so you discourage the use of the tools and methods which they took the time to make and help the community develop? how is that being on their side?

The developers created the mod tools to increase sales. Simple as that.

They are quite aware that some people enjoy creating and playing mods. It was for the sake of sales why they gave you mod tools.

However, it is still RUDE to speak of mods so soon. The game hasn't even been out for a month yet. I think it's a slap in the face to all the hard work the developers spent on creating the ACTUAL game, which far surpasses the time they spent on creating the mod tools.

I just think it's rude and disrespectful.

How about we ALL follow your idea and we ALL play a MOD instead of the actual game. What is good for one surely must be good for all. Let's all just ditch the actual game and play star trek. That way there will be no one online to play multiplayer with. We can all play a single player mod. Loads of fun!

I think it was a bit "rude and disrespectful" for you to come on here and talk nothing about the topic which this thread is here for.

For a 33 year old (if thats your real age), you seem to be very full of yourself, almost as though the world owes you a favour, or should show you huge amounts of respect. I've seen the MAGOG clan on the WiC forums and the game, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you the largest clan or something?

And one more thing, since one week prior to release I haven't seen a single argument(disapproving comments being thrown around) in the Modding section. Now you suddenly turn up, with somewhat of a wrong attitude, and it kicks off. Coincidence?

It is enjoyable to be a champion of truth in an age of band-wagon political correctness.

I speak the truth, sit back, and see what happens. It is most delightful.

When people continue to defend what they know in their heart is wrong, it eats away at their soul and you can see it.

I'm seeing only one troll in this thread...

Has it occured to you that you're simply off-topic in this thread? It's about creating a map, using the tools provided by, shockingly, the developers themselves.

Or that the people modding the game have been in the betatest and played the game for a year already?

Or that maybe, just maybe, the developers had a reason to release the first modding tools more or less on release day? Obviously you are new to Stardock published games, as GalCiv2 and SoaSE are designed specifically to be modded. And your assumption that these mod tools are created only to increase sales, well, that is actually the insult.
