Some A2 Vids

[Majestic]

Awesome video Thunder. Would've loved to seen the Cygnus and Olympia in her but an awesome video none the less.

So it kinda works on a moble base concept?

So it kinda works on a moble base concept?

Actually, yes. I am trying to recreate the feel of both of the series. Freyr touched on this somewhere in a post I cannot find to quote so I'll repeat it verbatim. A great many A2 players seem to be fixated on the permanent base concept. Someplace on the map there is a large, heavily armed, starbase which has smaller bases for trade and research strung around it. The gist of Freyr's post was, "Why should every new faction repeat this concept? Epsecially as it isn't necessary?" I agree wholeheartedly with this idea. RTS games have become stuck in the 'Build a base. Then tech up. Next, go smash the enemy base.' mode for a little longer than needed.

The Colonials are facing complete annihilation as a people from a relentless, implacable foe. Further, they are survivors of the most devastatingly successful surprise attack ever. They have whatever resources they departed with and whatever they can find along the way. Manufacturing is limited to repair and replacement. Research facilities are nonexistent or at least vestigial. They should have difficulty replacing anything. let alone building something new from scratch. Any research going on at all is going to be minimal and concerned primarily with increasing the chance of successful survival of the human race. I deviated from this slightly because otherwise no one would touch an A2 mod where no one can build new ships and lots of them with lots of weapons. To bring it back into line with the BSG concept I made new ships expensive to build and further taking a great deal of time to complete.

Somebody here, I cannot remember who, put this idea into my head. lol. It has driven me a little crazy, well, okay, a little more crazy until I could not stand it any more and had to do something about it. Here, I hope you enjoy this.

1.) Yes, I do want you to become a fan of the magnificent Terran Empire!
It is your destiny(wheeze..hiss!)

2.) You guessed correctly with your first question, lol.

TF's Universal Truths Concerning Ebil Villains in Sci Fi.

- They always have cooler uniforms.

- They always have cooler starships which are also much more powerful.

- They always seem to be enjoying themselves more than the heroes.

- They always have all the coolest, most memorable lines.

Haven't been here in long time. Had some play test footage just laying about and thought I'd put together a quick vid. Enjoy!

It is amazing to me what can accomplished sometimes by taking a few good ideas from various people and tacking these ideas onto each other. Terra_Inc has made and shared with us some very cool new weapons for the Cardassians. CPTBenSisko shared with us the idea of making the weapon sprites match the weapon sounds in length. CABAL shared with us what I think is the very best shield idea ever. Compile these three ideas/mods together and, voila! A battle scene which is about as close as A2 will ever get to something we've seen in either the series or the films, IMO. BTW, FahreS' Compact Dream GUI is the best part of my personal install. A magnificent piece of work which deserves far more recognition and downloads than it gets.

Great vid TF!

 

[Terra_Inc]

Great vid! Glad to see you like them.

Hello:
I liked the videos very much, specially the BSG one (where did you get that music? ). I can imagine how good your gameplay must be over there.

The other one was interesting, the new Cardassian weapons are unique and the new sounds seem to fit them very much.

I hope we'll get to see new videos soon! .

New vid! Featuring Klinkers done by Avon! Enjoy!

Hello:
I agree, this video is very nice... oh man!, I truly love how you added the Klingon theme from Armada1 . And those ships look dangerous, specially with your new Death Chant effect!.

Keep it up!

Love it!
