Awesome job guys!

Extra Search is my friend

Thanks!

Just put the folders in the RAR into your main directory.

i weep tears of joy at the awesomeness that is this ship!

Unfortunately I've upgraded to an M7 so this baby is relegated to other duties

Any chance of seeing more awesomely designed ships like these for the bigger badboys?

I may do another, not sure at the moment

still looking to add another gun to the turrets if anyone can tell me how to - i find the single turret underpowered (or, well, it only ever manages to remove shields of fighters) with anything except a flak, and i don't know if i want the flak. i kind of like it with precision lasers. only way i've got to fix it is using two... and the Normandy just doesn't look right in groups.

second... any chance of a quick guide to updating it, assuming i can't replace the tships with the new one (cmod3 Improve Ships)? should i just delete it and recopy it?

I think 6 main guns is enough, it's the secondary role of frigates in the ME universe as fighter screen defense is why I would opt for dual mount turrets or atleast the top turret being able too.

I think the docked ships are too far forward... someone had mentioned this before actually, and I definitely would agree that the docking location should be moved back far enough so that the ship would be between the "wings".

I suppose ideally the weaponry would be increased. Having 8 main weapon mounts instead of 6, and being able to put 2 weapons per turret instead of just 1 would do wonders for this ship. But at the same time, I realize that the Normandy was a stealth / scout type ship in Mass Effect, so I'm kinda on the fence.

Maybe, instead of increasing weapon mounts, add turret compatibility for Phased Array Laser Cannons? That would seriously rock. Totally. Like, bonerifically. Then again, the range on those things is like, 6 km or something... which far outrange CIGs or M/AM Launchers.

Ugh...

have to be careful to keep it balanced. I think one of the main things here is to make it usefull enough that you will use it... but not completely unbalance things.

I can see the normandy having more weapons, but it would have to give up its current speed

And that's the awesomeness of the normandy here and in mass effect - the speeeeeed!

This is frustrating, I downloaded the mod but I cannot unzip it to the folder, keep getting a denied on Xpluggins, or nothing happening at all in my root folder, what am I doing wrong?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated

So, you can't unzip the download at all?
By Xpluggins, do you means mods button on X start up or X Plugin Manager, if the later, it won't pick it up anyway since it isn't a plugin.

It's a .zip/.rar.

Use WinRAR to unpack it.

I use winrar to unzipo... only nothing happens and the box at the strt up of TC is still shaded.... did I not label the folder correctly (moddirectory), if not how do I find the root folder of the game, since I downloaded it off steam it is in my steamapps folder... is this the propper folder as my root folder for the game, cuz once again nothing happens, I have been out of the programming loop for 10 years so I am a bit rusty

Thanyou for your assistance btw.

In the folder you should see files called .cat's and .dats. If they are there than that is the right folder. You have two options:

- Create another folder in that directory called "mods" and place the files in the RAR into that folder.

OR

- Look at the .cat/.dat files in the main directory. They should be numbered from 01-06 or more if you have the plugin manager or other mods installed. Put the files from the RAR into the main directory and rename them so they are the highest number. Both the .cat and the .dat should be the same number.

If you were able select the mod at the start than it's installed properly.

Try saving your game and loading it again.

If it still doesn't work than the script may not be adding it to the shipyard, even though the ship is in the game.

You can download the cheat scripts pack and cheat yourself one, instead of trying to add it to the shipyard.

I should add that I still cannot select the mod package box at the start up... is there a file I need to enable/delet or modify in order to get this option to work on the startup?

Krewzur · Post by **Krewzur** » Sun, 22. Feb 09, 16:45

It may have something to do with the fact that it's from Steam. I have the retail version, so i can't help with that.

skyphantom · Post by **skyphantom** » Sun, 22. Feb 09, 16:46

thats cool.... I am still happy with what I have now, mods are great, but I just can't figure 'em out half the time, thank you for your assistance
