Holy Cats! This is wonderful! Is it SOD based? Is it animated? It's amazing!

looks like a yellow nebula with lightning.:D I actually did something similar, just grey and not yellow. Wouldn't happen to be the organic nebula from FO would it?

I can post a pic if you like.

Hello:
Why, the pic I like the most is the first one, I remembered Scorpion Part 2 when I saw that, when there is a Borg vs 8472 battle :yum:.

Very nice pics!

Unfortunately that will have to wait, as i am tearing down and rebuilding my personal instal with the new verson of FO. and incase your wondering why i don't just transfer the mods. Its because my PI looks like this

e7tafemyv b,aer8yaw7eg8ve4l83q6g7hefqa6r5r7384hbabgk6f763:lol2:

Thats in terms of orginizition. But heres my last 3.15 pics ever.
including some preliminary 8472 shots.

*Sniff*:cry2: Saddly this rebuild will mean MAJOR set backs to all my work so far, only a little of the sprite work and some dummy ODF's is salvegeable.
but i do have other motives for this as well, including the next NPC upgrade projekt, plus about ten other mods i have planed. When its all said and done though i'll have at least 80 new ships to work with, on top of the 200+ units already in Flops.

Looking awesome, I'd love to see someone use Chile's 8472 models, update the textures to match the style that FO uses and make a full race out of them, even if it's just a NPC species that is found on some maps. :)

If chile lets me they might be in the next Projekt. I have some Very Special ideas for them. hehe.:drool:

EDIT: Isn't Blade making an 8472 addon? (he calls them the Sra'da'xin or somthing) and i think he is using Chile's Stuff.

EDIT once more: Maj That is a NICE!!!!!!!!!! Avatar. Zelda ROCKS!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

Yes, I am helping Apoclaydon/Blade with his mod as he is doing a Species 8472 mod. The name Sra'Xa'Diin comes from a bid fan-page and they were very kind to let me use that name, and that comes from some years before STO, now I see that lots of people prefer the name Undine as it became massively known.

I don't think there would be any problems if you use my 8472 stuff for your mod too, anyways I will ask Blade tomorrow just to be sure... I mean, maybe some ideas can be shared, and things like that.

Nice work amigo (amiga?)!
The Bioship is one of my favorite designs. A sleek gun on a rocket. Love it!!!

I know how hard it is do organic designs.

I do not, nor do I play Homeworld 2.

Upon closer examination, it appears that the forum handily lists each posters' gender. :sweat:

Yep - we are all men together... except those of us that are women... You know, I would heartily recommend Armada 2 as a good, solid and very pretty (in modded form) RTS. If you can get hold of a disc it is well worth the effort.

Homeworld 2 has a different flavour, and I would say is actually the superior game, more immersive and better graphics, but again, good luck finding a copy...

Homeworld 2 is a lot easier to find than A2. I still see Homeworld 2 games in local video game shops for like $20AU. A2, the best I can sometimes find is on ebay for like $150, or illegally hosted cd images of them on naughty sites.

Yeah, A2 is really hard to find, and is normally sold for $200+ (USD)

I bought homeworld 2 for $7 off of amazon. Really easy to get. I would have to agree too, that it is superior, however A2 is extremely easy to mod which means I prefer it over HW2.

Both good games though.

I'm kicking myself that I sold my second copies of A1 and A2 to a school friend in 2002 for like 20 dollars, I could've sold them now for like $100 or more on ebay.

Plus he doesn't even play the game anymore, the disks are probably in half by now too. If only I had time travel or hind sight came earlier when you need it most. :lol:

Any particular reason why the game costs so much now?

Because they are no longer made since the whole Paramount/Activision lawsuit in like 2005 or somewhere near that.

It happened due to STENT, apparently in the agreement between the two above companies Paramount was to keep releasing quality shows that Activision could make games for, however Activision felt ENT wasn't a suitable or quality show and went to sue them for breavh of contract. They lost and lost the right to the licence.

So the games are so hard to find, and with people so eager to get them the prices have soared with people able to sell them for what they want and many people will actually buy them for that price. People who don't normally download cracked and illegal copies of them. Why the game isn't opensource is beyond me, being that it's 10 years old, with A1 even older.

I have two Possible Solutions:

1. Clone him and manipuleate his DNA to let us rerelease his Stuff

2. Convert him to a MSFCian:lol2:

Or 3, get someone to re-model it and release it with nw textures. That way you only need to credit him for the original design.

I've always been a fan of this design, this and the Valiant are my two favourite DJ designs. Never was a fan of the Century, I find it nasty!

Still great to see you can do conversions, another first step to doing your own models and such. :thumbsup:
