Hello all, it's been a while since I updated here. I have been busy at work with this modification, trying to get as much modelling finished as I can.
To this end, considering the Cardassians will most likely not make an appearance in Yesteryears any more, I have requested from Syf all the material for the Cardassians. Receiving it yesterday I have scoured through what was there and now have basically all the models I need bar a few which:
- Syf is making the last Cardassian Battleship.
- I can kitbash from the rejected Yesteryears models, effectively recycling them.
I have also started making a website for the project, made in raw html, it will become the first of the project sub-domains, something that all projects hosted here will be given the opportunity to have if they so wish after I get Clash of Empires completed.
Clash of Empires is also going to be vastly different from the standard run of the mill Star Trek project, these features I am keeping to myself till I have implemented them and to see if they work as I plan them to.
Also yesterday I have decided to give the Cardassians a super weapon, like stock the Dreadnought missile will be included and build able, however it will be more like in the Voyager episode, that being it will be a combatant as well as a exploding bomb. When she blows, whether through activation of her super weapon or through a ship destroying her she will make a massive shock-wave that will heavily damage and maybe even destroy any ships nearby.
I also plan to have several new maps for the project, edited stock ones and some brand new beasties. These will be done at the end of the project before release. If any mappers want to take up that job, please PM me about it and we'll sort it out together.
Now finally, a new ship to show off. Yes, I feel it's about time, the Fighter was the last to show off, now time for a new one.
Here we have the Gamet. The Gamet is a destroyer, much like the Norin. She is designed in the wake of the end of the Dominion war. Cardassian was rebuilding from their almost extinction and needed new ships to defend their once great empire with. Based heavily off the Hideki Patrol ship, the Gamet is larger, stronger and carries a much bigger punch.
Note: I haven't hardpointed her yet, she is one of many models that still need hardpointing.
Well that's it for me for now, I'll have more later. As modelling is finishing up I'll have more in-game screenshots to show off, they will be uploaded in the gallery.
