First off, Kudos to you man. Awesome models-and the Normandy is just a beaut.

Three things though-1. are you planning on adding any more Alliance-style ships to the game? I completely adore the style and simply put, need more. Hiroshima and Normandy need a bigger bro and some little sisters

2. Any chance you'd release the ships in .xsp format?

And 3-is there a chance for Cerberus livery on the Longsword?

V1.65 is up, includes hotfix for the falchion. I had to remove the front turret because no matter where i place it, kept on shooting my missiles.

Also, Tenk replied with permission to include his SR-1 model. So this update also gives you the USC M6 - Longsword Mk1.

I can't say exactly, few reasons being that theres not enough pics and materials to refer to. And second, foxunit is already working on a fullblown Mass Effect mod.

2. Any chance you'd release the ships in .xsp format?

I'm still new at this, I don't know how to do that yet.

And 3-is there a chance for Cerberus livery on the Longsword?

No. The ship is made using stock textures

maybe its a conflict with one of the other mod i have installed but i only use the imersive background mod, shipextention, this ship pack, CMOD3 + HUD and marine repairs

Northern Comfort · Post by **Northern Comfort** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 18:52

Would you mind if I tried re-doing the textures then? I'm pretty basic with X3 modding, but have a bit of experience with skinning-and it just ain't a norm-er, Longsword, without the black and yellow.

Cadius · Post by **Cadius** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 19:08

go ahead man. Personally though i prefer the red/black/white, fits in better with the rest of USC fleet

MadMan983 · Post by **MadMan983** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 19:13

as long as it looks awsome anythings good

Northern Comfort · Post by **Northern Comfort** » Mon, 22. Feb 10, 19:18

Not disagreeing with that-the SR2 looks amazing the way it is, I'm just an ME geek. Plus, seeing as it's not USC fleet but rather, as you said yourself-covert ops and surgical strikes. Wouldn't serve to wear easily-recognizable colors if you're going for plausible deniability, would it?

(yes, I know it's space and the chance of a visual ID is slim to none, but **** it, I want a yellow and black normandy

)

I'll get to work on it tonight, see what I can do.

Is there are any more ME ships (I mean human one)?

these ships will be in the merge mod so unless you have a problome with all ships

Sweet I see ships from Mass Effect, Freespace 2 (just one though

), and Nexus The Jupiter Incident.

This ships are simply amazing, best ive seen. Ever. You said you just learned? I dont think so. My favorites are the:

USC M7 - Hakata class support frigate

and the

ATF TM - Lofn

Simply amazing...

Amen to that! Instead of a forward firing turret, have you considered just placing a rack of forward firing gun mounts in instead? That way, a player pilot could control when to fire a few rounds off after firing a salvo of missiles at the target, instead of the turret AI carelessly firing through the arc path of the previously fired missiles? Food for thought, anyways...

Absolutely love your ship mod though Cadius, goes into my list for all time X3TC favs...

Hey Cadius, or anyone else for that matter...

You have a suggestion for a missile barrage script for the Sendai Variant B?

Works fine when i control it, but the standard missile barrage command doesnt seem to cut it for AI.

Any suggestions would be great

Cadius · Post by **Cadius** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 02:43

you could try HKP's Enhanced Missile Barrage

personally I use Medusa Interface, but i don't think it works for the AI

tried that, apparently you can't have a front mount weapon and a missile turret on the same ship, otherwise the missile turret will transform into a normal turret.

EDIT:
New Station! This is a replacement for the USC Orbital Defence Station.

Design mainly inspired by the Heavy MAC guns from Halo 2. That thing at the top of the station is supposed to be some sort of super heavy singularity projector. In case of invasion, the station can rotate to aim the gun and take out big targets at a distance. Just shows how paranoid the Terrans are.

There xenophobic.

mr.WHO · Post by **mr.WHO** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 09:04

BTW what about your Shipyard? It isn't included in 1.65? Do you plan to replace all Terran shipyards or only some of them (commonwealth races have 2 types of shipyards, normal one- same for all, and race-specific one in some sectors?

Edit: This new defence station looks like it can blow up anything in a single shot (kinda like mad Torus defence) - do you plan to make a new weapon for it? Also for ballance purpose it would be good if it don't have any fighter defence, exept maybe a small hangar.

Rostran Targo · Post by **Rostran Targo** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 10:20

Any plans for fighter sized ships?

X1000 · Post by **X1000** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 18:32

Hey Cadius, ive been trying to get your ship pack installed. But whatever i do, they dont show up. I get the message that there installed, but there not in Terran shipyards, or in cycrows cheat menu.

My game is vanilla, with only Cycrows cheat package, and the Normandy. (by tenk). Any help?

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 18:35

You can only use one ship mod at a time. So you can not use tenks mod along with this.

X1000 · Post by **X1000** » Thu, 25. Feb 10, 18:41

Forgot to mention, i know that. So Tenks is installed as a fake patch, and it works fine. This ship pack is selected as the "Mod pack".
