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.

I use gimp so don't know how to do that in photoshop if that's what you're using. I can deselect the alpha layer and ensuring I keep the current invisibile pieces in place.

Are you using the latest R.2 and did you fully delete the previous versions before unzipping the newest?

Something happened with this version. The image is flipped and doesn't look quite as sharp, but the hybrid is more clear. I'll try flipping the image back and see how it looks.

Neither actually. Just pointing out to those that said just use the Tech hud that things happen when you try new stuff out. And to point out that you built off my original version making it even cooler. But things have to have a starting point which is sorta the point of modding.

It's hard sometimes to express feelings when writing sometimes...

Reply #636 from Sins Forums Top

so if you would like to take my HUD blind here the link just paste it in your mod folder and say yes to overwrite the folders/files. And a correction of speed buttons no longer on white background, now transparent.

(edit: it will work only if you have cylon and colonial R6.2 folders ) 

here the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?wp9brpiri4mzy2n

and here the .xls file of my HUD if you like to tweak it Zombies 

here the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2ap7aer8kmh9582

 

one problem i get is that on image in red circle no idea how to correct this, perhaps it's me playing in to high resolution 1280x800

 

 

edit2: and still playing cylon i don't get the CAP ship    :'( .

 

Reply #637 from Sins Forums Top

Hmm.... I do think that the Hybrid you can see in the background when you display a planet, ship etc does look a bit odd though! i.e. seeing a head pop up on a planet! In my opinion, this area should be black or with a streaming code pattern so that you can view ships and planets properly in this window. 

Reply #638 from Sins Forums Top

I agree with Mord_Sith, the hybrid is rather distracting, but the streaming code just looks too cool.

Reply #639 from Sins Forums Top

I agree too. The hybrid looks out of place. The purpose of that box is to view your planets and other assets and the hybrid takes away from that. Obviously Zombies decision though! 

Reply #640 from Sins Forums Top

since i keep every part of this hud in separated layer, moving the hybrid will be no problem, it's just Zombies5Rus decision.

in sins of the 13th tribe each ships role is clear this one its really hard to tell

 

also the abilities mix for each ship with the exception of the planet bomber and pegasus is really bad it needs to be tweaked

End of jason8648776's quote

 

Are you talking about the active ability or the passive?

The Flak burst mitigates damage taken from other ships in fights.  Since in the BSG universe, there aren't any shields, this was put in place to make it more realistic, and it plays a large difference in how long ships survive,  try tweaking the files and set that to zero.  You die a lot faster.

The active flak ability on some of the ships that you can activate just causes damage to the fighters around your ship.

Thanks for the feedback. Would you be able to help ZombiesRus5 with these? i.e. can you help with the abilities mix? Your ideas are ambiguous - could you please provide some detailed suggestions? 

Please read through the requirements that ZombiesRus5 has listed at the start of the forum - "It would be ideal if you give an ability or research idea that you provide a name and description in addition to the effect you think it should do." 

Your suggestions need to be detailed to be useful for this forum/mod. 

Reply #649 from Sins Forums Top

@jason8648776 - I think you may be suffering from a bit of Sot13t nostalgia. I'm just not sure how you rate the ship classifications as bad even in the current form. Bear in mind this mod is NOT a total conversion like Sot13t and in fact at this point is a complete reboot of BSG in sins and meant to balance with the stock races ultimately. 

Also note: I'm releasing this mod in various stages so people can give constructive feedback and help. Mord_Sith84 is correct in that simply posting it's bad without suggestions for specifically how to improve doesn't help and ends up just being ignored. 

Please do participate in the discussion, just follow some of the guidelines re-iterated by Mord_Sith84 which basically boils down to make specific suggestions in terms of how to improve the mod. It helps a lot when I document peoples ideas and look to integrate them down the road. 

The slate is clean so to speak with mostly filler abilities, rough balance and stock research trees between the two BSG factions. My primary goal with the previous release for Colonial and the next release for Cylon is to have the art assets in place. Lots of technical stuff being done right now before we can start on the feel of the races that ultimately present themselves in their balance, abilities and research.

@Mord_Sith84 and Daeican - Thanks for the responses. I really am relying on you guys that help here to get this mod completed. Don't get offended if I push back on some things I either feel are or aren't important. I'm like everyone else here with my own ideas on this but am easily influenced when specific mod suggestions are made. 

 

I'm ok if you want to complain about something too, just don't be offended if I respond back in my own way. :cylon:  I actually do like the banter if your willing to play along.
