Any chance we could get a short list of just what your mod does, Arachno?

Hehehehe...

Don't worry about listing the 80+ ships. I'll take care of that. Just whichever scripts, alterations, features like special sectors and races, etc.

Arachno.R · Post by **Arachno.R** » Wed, 15. Aug 12, 20:06

OK,
tomorrow I will post links for .cat files and pictures of ships.
I will describe how to install it properly.

Did I mention that this version is for Albion Prelude?

Are you interested for TC version too? It is a little bit obsolete...

leafee · Post by **leafee** » Wed, 15. Aug 12, 20:23

Hey Arachno. I got it installed properly and everything, and I have to say that I LOVE it. Like, Love love. I would say though that your factions are a little weird - If anything I would see the Galactic Empire as the Terran and the Argon Federation as the NR. Corellia just wasn't what I expected, but it isn't my mod so I shouldn't complain.

If you were looking to replace more ships, I would suggest the following - but really it's your mod so take this as my two credits.

Galactic Empire:

M1 - ISD
M2 - ISD II
M3 - TIE Adv / TIE Defender
M4 - TIE Interceptor / Miy'Til Starfighter
M5 - TIE Fighter / TIE Droid
M6 - Lancer Frigate / Carrack Light Cruiser
M7 - Acclamator Assault Ship / Venerator Cruiser / Victory Class Star Destroyer
M8 - TIE Bomber

M7 - Acclamator Assault Ship / Venerator Cruiser / Victory Class Star Destroyer
M8 - TIE Bomber

I didn't see the Carrack light cruiser in the ship list... was it in game?

As far as the mod itself, remember this is a starting point, and many things will change from this. If people like this current version better than what it changes to, then it will still be available for download, but I would guess the final mod will be differ from this.

The suggestions such as you have given will be the things that will change the final version into what it will be, so by all means, keep them coming. There will probably be another version even by this weekend from me tweaking a few things from what Arachno has given us to start from!

leafee · Post by **leafee** » Wed, 15. Aug 12, 21:06

Here's my two cents on what should be what. Feel free to adapt/change.

This is relying on the chance that most of these ships are available through the collection between Dinoffs mod and Arachno's. If they are _not_ available obviously a replacement will have to be found. I am a very novice modeler, but I might be able to put something together if given the time.

Terran -> Gal Empire.
ATF -> Gal Empire Branch/Task force.
Argon -> Alliance/New Republic
Boron -> Imperial Remnants/Old Republic
Teladi -> CIS
Yaki -> Hutts
Split -> Mandalorians
Paranid -> Yuuzhan Vong?

Gal Empire ships:

M1 - ISD
M2 - ISD II
M3 - TIE Advanced
M4 - TIE Interceptor
M5 - TIE Fighter
M6 - Lancer Frigate / Carrack Light Cruiser
M7 - Acclamator Assault Ship / Venerator Cruiser / Victory Class Star Destroyer
M8 - TIE Bomber
TP - Lambda

Gal Empire Task Force (ATF):

M1 - ISD
M2 - ISD II
M3 - TIE Defender
M4 - TIE Phantom
M5 - TIE Droid
M6 - Lancer Frigate / Carrack Light Cruiser
M7 - Victory Class Star Destroyer / Interdictor Star Destroyer
M8 - TIE Bomber
TP - Lambda

Alliance/New Republic:

M1 - MC90
M2 - MC80
M3 - B-Wing
M4 - X-Wing
M5 - A-Wing
M6 - Corellian Corvette / Corellian Gunboat
M7 - Assault Frigate / Nebulon B Frigate
M8 - Y-Wing

Imperial Remnants/Old Republic:

M1 - Acclamator Class Star Destroyer
M2 - Venerator Class Star Destroyer
M3 - ARC-170 Starfighter
M4 - ETA - 2 Actis Starfighter
M5 - V-19 Torrent
M6 - ?? No idea.
M7 - Victory Class Star Destroyer

CIS:

M1 - Luchrehulk Battlecruiser
M2 - Providence-Class Destroyer
M3 - Droid Tri-Fighter
M4 - Vulture Droid Starfighter
M5 - Scarab-Class Droid Starfighter
M6 - Recusant-Class Light Frigate
M7 - Munificent-Class Star Frigate
M8 - Droid Bomber

Hutts, Mandalorians, Yuuzhan Vong i have no idea.

Hey Arachno, I have space for your files, pm me and I will give you an FTP to upload to, this is access to my personal NAS, but I will also then take them and upload them to one of my websites.

I have allocated 20,000MB of space if you need more just tell me.

Ameer Nuub · Post by **Ameer Nuub** » Fri, 17. Aug 12, 02:19

Attention folks...

Version 2.0 is available for download. Look for the link in the original post. It has a few additions, tweaks, etc... many more sound files, a considerable difference in direction for the soundtrack, etc.

Enjoy!

Hey there, jeroll3d.

Just drop the files into your TC folder and choose "yes" to replace files. Back up your files first.

Hello,

Your initiative is the one is was waiting for ages. I'm somewhat a fan of the Star Wars universe and I always thought that X sery is a perfect gameplay for a Star Wars mod. I said perfect and this is really perfect : you're one man in a huge universe in your ships. For me it is Star Wars.

I'm also a jurist (not specialized in intellectual property, but anyway, just to say that I can help with taht

) and a former modder (for TW games/Paradox games). So I can offer my help. I'm not good at 2D/3D works, nor at music/video but I can help with codding and scripting and (that's not secondary) background work.

So if you want help I'm available. I can also offer a vbulletin forum to work in (I think it's better to make mods than a single topic).
Nowadays I have no skin in X3 AP modding, but I have a motivation, so I'll learn.

Some suggestions, if you accept them :
- We should decide a starting date/an era for the mod. SW universe also changes years after years. I think that the period between A new hope and Empire strikes back is the best one : it avoids the Force (difficult to simulate ingame) and is located just before the biggest battles.
- Here are some maps for the galaxy settings :

http://www.star.etmortius.net/map/image ... 39_300.png
http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/ ... 0-1800.jpg
- Why just two factions ? SW universe is complexe and was never split into two different sides.

Hope that helps

Ps : I'm french, and my english is not that good...
