Well to start, I would like to inform you all that this mod is a little something I have been doing on and off for a few years now. It has had many names and currently I have decided not to give it one until it is almost complete or until I feel I should give it a name. Syf this is the mod I was talking about in the staff room.

This mod originally, was going to be my personal mod, but I have decided to make it an official MSFC mod. What I mean by that is that sometime down the road, I plan on getting as many A2 players as I can and create a large multiplayer game over the net.

For that I wanted a new mod, I am sure by the time we get to that we would of all played Yesteryears and may be wanting to play a TNG era mod. That is what this is.

Set in the last months of the Dominion war, players will be able to take command of several races. This mod will use as much already available A2 content as possible as well as many converted SFC3/BC models as possible (poly reduced of course).

The mod will also have no campaign, as it is designed from the ground up as a multiplayer only mod.

This mod will also not be publically available, it will be hosted on this site and given to members who wish to join in on the multiplayer game. Please take note that this is a long-term project, no doubt will be finished after Yesteryears, Parallels and a few other projects.

Also I won't be expecting or asking for much help with this, but if people do want to lend a hand, weather it be poly reducing, finding models, or just spreading the word it will of course be accepted. This is also in the very early stages of development.

The Races in the mod are as follows.

  • United Federation of Planets - Starfleet
  • Klingon Empire - Klingon Defence Force
  • Romulan Star Empire - Romulan Navy
  • Cardassian Union - Cardassian Military
  • Dominion Alliance - Jem'Hadar/Breen/Sona
  • Borg Collective - The Hive

Each race will have a set number of ships, though the Borg will be a little different. There is also the possibility that a Species 8472, Delta Quadrant Minor and Alpha Quadrant Minor sides/races will be added.

More information on the races

The United Federation of Planets
We all know them, a favourite of many. The Federation will be using canon ships only, with the exception of the Achilles class. If you saw it in the Dominion war you will most likely find it in the mod.

Note: Sabre and Excelsior require poly reduction still.

The Klingon Empire
The Federations greatest ally, utilizing a fleet of warships the Empire is a force to be reckoned with. Many canon and some non-canon ships are available for them.


The Romulan Star Empire
Cloaking and sneak attacks are their speciality. The favourites are here, the D'Deredix and Valdore classes, plus a few not so known classes like the science vessel. Then there is the assortment of non-cannon class.


The Cardassian Union
First official member of the Dominion from the Alpha Quadrant. We all know about the rebellion, this mod is set roughly at the beginning of that rebellion. The Cardassians have their own seperate forces, I personally think they have earnt it, so many mods just add them to the Dominion side.


The Dominion Alliance
The Dominion from the Gamma Quadrant, plus their non Cardassian Alpha Quadrant allies. In this race you will find the Jem'Hadar, Breen and Sona forces. The Majority of this race is made up of Jem'Hadar and Breen forces though.


The Borg Collective
You wouldn't be a Star Trek fan if you didn't know who these guys are. By far the most powerful race in the mod, but they also have the smalliest fleet as their ships can do a variety of missions so speciallity classes of ships are not required.

I like everything I see, except the middle Borg ship. Honestly, it's a stupid design that just doesn't go with the Borg at all. Fits in better with the Romulans.

Thanks guys.

The Borg didn't play any part in the Dominion War, you are right Cylon. But with so much material for them available I thought it is worth adding them to the game.

Each to their own, I actually like the design, but thats just me personally. That ship will be a small ship around the size of the Probe/Interceptor class.

Don't get me wrong, I like the ship, it just totally does not work whatsoever as a Borg.

I real don't see your point it looks Borg to me :confused:
If your reasoning is that it not a basic shape remember the ship from TNG Descent was not that way as well

Even though the borg were not canonly involved in the Dominion war, doesn't meen that they just disappeared all together.

There is no such thing as a proper borg ship either. As pointed out, the borg will construct a ship as it suits thier collective needs. It could even be a design for a specific reason, like for a newweapon test platform. The possibilities are endless.

Syf and Hellkite are right. Also remember it is only one ship. The Borg have no where near the amount of ships that other races have.

Now is there anything special/in particular people would like to see in this mod?

I will be making the mod feel right for me, but I am open to suggestions, what does the community want to see.

This mod will play alot like Yesteryears as after Yesteryears is released I will be using many of the features and balancing I used in that mod for this mod.

Yes Hellkite, but in Descent they were rebellious Borg, so they probably put together what they could. Why else would they build great stonking Cube's if they didn't do everything a Borg ship would want? It is not Borg in way. Granted, it's personal, but I don't feel like one viewing, of something clearly explainable, can discern the Borg shapes altogether. Also, the Probe is efficient in design, the ship in Descent was not, nor do I believe Majest's design, but as I said, I do like, just feel it fits better with the Romulans.

Anyhow, I would in deed like to see how you set-it up. Being your own private piece, it might have a nice few niche's in that you lose in main-stream mods.

New models for the Borg Cube and Borg Tactical Cube.



These guys are rare and slow to produce, I plan on having it that you need a small fleet of ships from the other races to be able to take these ships down. :)

Maquis may be added, but only as a map race. I am thinking of adding them as a replacement for the Ferengi as I have something special in mind for the Ferengi.

More Dominion models for the mod can be viewed below.

If you look at it this way the Borg assimilate other races ships right? This ship could have be a Rommy Prototype that was assimilated and now the borg have it.

And if you look at this Ship it is the Assimilator from stock A1 and A2.

I think it's ok. But the Cube should also have a hatch.

I have removed the hatch from the sphere model, a hatch was only seen in two spheres, both appearing in Voyager all the other spheres never had hatches so I have decided to leave it out.
