[quote who="PUREVENOM" reply="211" id="2931440"]I can't believe this thread is still going. Well, since it won't die, might as well add fuel to the fire. All would bow before the Ori![/quote] I think it's nice it's still going, because the focus has shifted from "lol Fedz beat Imps" being smackdown'd with reality, to "let's make a fun SWvsST mod!". As for your comment WRT Stargate, I'm going to happily ignore it, as I'm fairly done w
[quote who="CmdrNilles" reply="886" id="2930519"]I just started reading it, and am not done yet, but it does seem too have a lot of viewpoints[/quote] Well, the relatively large number of different character's perspectives is to illustrate different opinions and thoughts. My biggest fear with this fic is not getting some of the more famous ST characters right, like Major Kira, The USS Enterprise 's crew, and that horrible twit Janeway.

New Topic: Self-Insert Fan Fiction- Love it Or Hate it? My opinion: done well, it can be a pretty good read.

[quote who="Destraex" reply="200" id="2930204"]I posted because I do find it interesting to compare. But always I am dissappointed with a result that either does not have enough information to truly depict the face off accurately or simply waters it down for movie or gameplays sake. i'm interested, I just hate any time somebody tries to do it. If you recently saw that TV series that faced off one warrior in time with another. there was just no way to really tell who
[quote who="Theophantus" reply="195" id="2930080"]I've just tried it with the ambassador class vs 5 neblon B frigates. Everything seems ok apart from the collisions. @Whiskey just the spitting of the green death was missing![/quote] Well, it was a somewhat metaphorical thing. Mod-balance wise, of course it wouldn't be green death. I'm also unsure if the Nebulon B's had green turbolaser bolts. Side note: I really hate the design of the
[quote who="GeneralVeers" reply="62" id="2930063"]Bumping. Valve has announced their first DLC for Portal 2. Shockingly, they're not following the industry example in releasing it. The DLC will be FREE. Opinions: have they changed now?[/quote] No. But then again I didn't have any opinion on Portal 2 DLC, and I still intend to get the game. Just when the price comes down a bit. However, I am extremely
[quote who="Theophantus" reply="193" id="2930052"]Surely, dynamic movements is not that simple?[/quote] Yes, it is that simple. Simply set the "usesFighterAttack" value as TRUE, instead of FALSE, and voila, instant attack runs.
[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="189" id="2929589"]Actually that would be rather terrible, as the Wars ships would have a huge advantage; you shoot off more shots when stationary than when moving dynamically, in Sins. Perhaps it's due to the ships' low rate of turn, but I've seen this occur in SoGE with several frigates, before I made them undynamic due to this very reason.[/quote] Hm. How interesting. In the words of GLaDOS, then, "Food for thought."
[quote who="Theophantus" reply="187" id="2929536"]You can't dispute the fact that Star Wars vs Star Trek creates a lot of passionate debate over which universe will kick the other universes butt. I only asked if it was possible to create a mod. Funny thing is in the meantime I have created one. It's going ok, I've got all the trek ships in. To give you an idea, I've got romulan, Klingon and federation capital ships vs Empire capitals. I've got a Vulcan colony frigate and m
[quote who="Zeta1127" reply="1" id="2929407"]Strike craft can engage anything in a gravity well, and the best way to manage carriers is to either send them in a circle or disable auto-attack on the carrier capital ship by right clicking on it.[/quote] I'll clarify this very good point by noting that what Zeta is saying is to right-click the attack icon, thus disabling auto-attack. I'll also note that it's actually a really bad idea to do this with a C

[quote who="Destraex" reply="182" id="2928791"]i hate mixing genres. Its why I have never really liked AVP or super hero cross overs its all so arbitrary[/quote] If you hate it, then why have you posted in this thread? As an aside, superhero crossovers are arbitrary because superhero comics are often arbitrary themselves. Well-established scifi series, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40,000, Stargate, and Halo, either have various niceties like wea
[quote who="COL-Beckwith_SFOD" reply="1624" id="2928680"]Maybe a stupid question and probably asked earlier, but did not feel like reading through 65 pages to get the answer. Do you HAVE to have Entrenchment to play this Star Wars MOD?[/quote] The thread title should have clued you in that, yes , you do need the Entrenchment expansion to play Star Wars Sins of a Galactice Empire.
[quote who="Theophantus" reply="178" id="2928517"]Well I'm still busy beavering away. Can anyone explain how I change the unit-HUD-cursorover tga.file. I want to replace some of the ship icons for trek & star wars ones. I've downloaded Gimp, but im not familiar with it at all. I can remember someone did a "how to replace a picture" but i can't seem to find the post. @Whiskey, I've made the Defiant a Crusier, it's not what I would call a capital ship, I've j
Pulpy, I'd like to point out that there is a "stealth" ship: the Vasari Jikara Navigator. Admittedly, it's a high(er)-tier researchable ability, but the ship does have an ability that allows it to "phase out" and sit there and watch stuff. Not quite what you're thinking, I'm sure, but it is a stealth craft. I think though, that the commerce raider is a much more interesting idea. I rather like it. Though I'll note that a Corvette
[quote who="Theophantus" reply="176" id="2927367"]Whiskey, I knew you would respond to question 3 lol. You have some good points as usual, but.......it does look cool in game. I'm just experimenting at this moment and I agree, I would like it to be balanced as fairly as possible. Ok match some of the ships for me then. What would be the equal to the defiant in the Star Wars universe?[/quote] Well, the Defiant -class is technically a battleship, by virtue of the fact that c
[quote who="Oatesy03" reply="879" id="2927342"]It's a strange thing looking at military prospects in those two plans though. I'd be expected to be an officer in the British Army, seeing as I should be getting top grades across the board at secondary school, and am expected to go to an Oxford standard Uni. However, if I stayed in the US after Uni (with a green card of course), then I would join the US army as a private. I know I'd be able to get my citizenship through th

In terms of cruisers the Nebula SD has superior shielding, and abilities, making it able to take on ISDs 1 on 1.
