Well, my turn to show my last model... It is for a Star War empire mod, and called "Golan IV" starbase, a upgrade from the "Golan III" space defense platform( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Golan_III_Space_Defense_NovaGun )... 140 xx-9 heavy turbolaser ( begin to seek them on the pic below ), 80 proton torpedo ( the little square everywhere ), galaxy gun ( front gun ), 8 ion pulse canon ( below the do
Wait, i have always think that the max of weapons was 3 and not 4... max 20 hardpoint by side (4) by weapons(3) = 240 hp... And there is not room for hardpoint who call "custom" particle effect... by example, the starbase that i work on have a neutro star included in the model, along with two rotation ring, and more...

Simply look at the outdated modding pdf from Stardock... they recommand XSI mod tool who is free... and it is all you need for the hardpointing ( along a little utility from Ironclad/Stardock who convert the XSI file to .mesh )...

Je suis un 3D modeler mais si tu n'a aucune experience, cela sera tres difficile pour toi...

Well, one of the guy who have work with Kalypso for the French translation is a real fan of Stardock game... you can visit his own site at http://transgalactique.free.fr/index.html ... there is translation for GalCiv 2, SOASE, Demigod and Elemental... SOASE traduction are enough old ( sins 1.19, ent 1.05, dip 1.011 ) since the guy was busy in 2011 with elemental... but it is very possible that if enough people ask him gently
Tu peut toujours remplacer les stations orbitale par d'autres model... par example, remplacer le TEC culture station par un satellites de communication... Pour cela, tu doit creer le fichier .mesh et les textures... si tu converse les hardpoint, il n'est pas necessaire de modified les fichier entity... tu auras besoin au minimum de XSI mod tool, et de photoshop ou Gimp...
