View Full Version : ideas for mod
hi me and and lagit have just been messaging eachother and he suggested if its ok with cdp and the people doing the mod to start a thread with ideas for people who cant mod but want to put there ideas to the team to help out. i know i can mod and i dont know if this idea had already been suggested but i posted one in another thread not realising until lagit told me that ideas shouldnt be put in other threads. my idea was to merge 3 wraith cruisers with a hive and have them seperate to when you need them to as a special weapon or boost the fire power of a hive. its was just an idea let me know if its a good one.
best regards

u mean merge them into something else? or the cruisers merge into a hive ship?
he means like they o in the show the cruisers dock with the hive while in hyperspace and they can disengage from it to comence combate view the episodes the siege part 2 and 3 mabey 1 to see what hes on bout
It's a canon idea, 2 cruisers dock to the wing part of the hive ships and then undock when the ships enter normal space.
just a little idea make Atlantis build puddle jumper pointing straight up as they come out straight its just a little thing and its probably been done but it's anouther good canon idea if its not been implemented

is it? im posotive that the hive ships come out of hyperspace first AND then the cruisers
(example 1x21 "The Seige Pt1") however i will double check!
EDIT
Actually episode 19 i think (sorry!)
i'll check aswell but they do come from the sides of the hive ships open from frony two from wings but i am double checking as we speak
have u got any idea which episode we would have seen it your way?
hi all,
i recently watched the episodes its 1 or 2 episoides before the siege 3 parter they have 3 cruisers merged with the hive 1 at the nose tip and 1 at either side of the wing tips so thats 3 in total they drop out of hyperspace to cull a planet on route to atlantis and the destroyers detatch before the figters launch. they are hyperspace capable themselves as they retreat into hyperspace but they dock as a combat group all in one with bosted firepower and i guess as a collective hive. there like bases of operations as well as a mothership to the 3 cruisers.

hey guys another idea how about having 2 deadalus class ships u can build one without asgard weaponry so it has rail guns telerporting nukes (as a special weapon) and launching rockets and the other with asgard weaponry like on the last episode with beam guns and things like that. that way people can get best of both versions of the deadalus. i myself prefer the old version of the deadalus but the upgraded asgard version kicks *** too.
dean
or,
u have an odessy hero ship and asgard inspired designs in hugh level/later ships
yeh that could work if the others aprove i dont know if cdp looks at this thread for the ideas unsure. as long as the deadulus stays with rail guns and nukes then im sure one of the other classes cud be the asgard inspired design if cdp likes that idea hope he likes the wraith idea with the merging. also just had enough one but this may already have been though of. the replicators take over ships just like the borg so why not do an asimilation thing with them but have them firing a replicator missle into the ship like on sg1 as aposed to the beam from the borg cube.
dean
yeah im pretty sure we have spoken of this idea.
and tbh im still notsold on the wraith idea being cannon.
It is a nice idea, but tbh i dont think it will fit with the wraith MO.
well some hive groups and battle groups are bigger than other so you can have individual hives as well as the huge battle grp. also when the wraith first attatcked atlantis they were all unified under one main queen. trust me you wont find a bigger wraith nut around here i actualy like them as an enemy and a species a little better than a gould. the hives were more or les cities in space and the cruiser went off to cull plannets to bring back for the hive to feed upon.the fact that all 4 ships joined to make a big one was just an example of a moveable starbase. hmmmmm thats an idea how about having to wraith hives one as a battle ship the other as similiar to the species 8472 moveable starbase and having three cruisers join with that ???
dean
u might be a wraith nut and im a stargate nut.
I honestly dont remember seeing them dock! which episode was it?
As shown in seige Pt1 when they arrived at the satelite there were more than 3 hyperspace events.
btw im not arguing their tactics i know thats generally what they do.

right check out hte episode or 2 before it when shepard goes to scout out the fleet when there heading to atlantis when he's in the puddle jumper cloaked you see the three battle groups exit hyperspace and all three battle groups detatch just as there aproaching the plannet the episode is called letters from pegasus. season one 17 find below a link to tv links with the episode on it if you dont have it http://www.tv-links.co.uk/video/1/87/10640/66325/93217 . this is a two part streaming episode so will have to go to tv links to watch the second half if its not on this part. after this episode they did travel seperatly and can enter hyperspace by them selves but the were docked in episode 17. i just thought it would be a cool special move for better fire power or something.
dean
We talked about several ideas like this mostly concerning fighters and it always ended up that it cant be done cause the hardcoding of the game
dam thats a shame be kool if the 3 cruisers could merge like they do on the episodes .
dean
it is possible if you do it using special weapons EG tacticul cuse and galaxy both mak into ship galaxy to way it could have somethincg to do with a special hadpoint and sprit
sorry to burst ur bubble but thats not 3 curisers if i remember correctly thats one hive with 2 curiser on the bottom
hey all. in regards to as what i said earlyier there is a post with the episode on where it shows you 1 on the nose cone and 1 on either wingtip as its 2 episodes before the siege 3 parter. that is why there is 2 hives and 6 cruisers 3 to every hive. trust me i watched it again just to be sure. 2 episodes before the siege ones.

^^ yea i think your right, though would have to watch the episodes again to be sure, these are all great ideas guys keep them coming.
Just to let you all know, atm im not putting to much effort into making things like this work, otherwise the progress of the mod grinds to a stop as i get stuck on a problem and spend weeks trying to solve it. Im really pushing towards a release which is long over due, there will be lots of place holders in the first release as i then slowly replace the place holders with finnished models, weaponds, coding ect.
It has to be done this way as we are change almost everything about the game.
