Just wondering if anyone has made a mod for FreeSpace 2. I think it would be quite interesting, esp. to play against the Shivans. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif Thanks

I wouldn't mind the strat, as long as they didn't send 50 Santhanas Juggernaughts at me. NOw that would be scary.

Do you want a MOD, or a shipset/RaceStyle/AI?
I'd be willing to help start a mod for you if you describe the way the FreeSpace 2 universe works?

Just a shipset/racestyle/ai. Probably the only ones possible are the Shivans. They use ships with devastating firepower. They as a race, will conquer when they want to with no apparent reason and are aggressive.
Is that what you are looking for?

So you *just* want an AI, and not component changes.
Start with an already aggressive race, and alter their ship designs to carry few shields, and lots of Heavy-mount WMGs (or better yet, crystalline HEM beams)

Are good at 3 modelling Isbla? Are you going to remake all the ships from scratch like that Goa'uld set over @ universal shipyards?

the ai would be a very aggressive race. I would prob. ask volition if they have pictures of the shivan warships. Since they do have ones of the other 2 races.

I have attempted to make a Vasudan Ship Set if you are interested. I'm no good graphics, so I just Cut/Paste everything from a .VP viewing program.
I'm in the process of Cut/Pasting a Shivan ship set.

I recommended this idea to someone a while back. I could not get my Freespace 2 game to reinstall, so I passed the idea off to someone else. (I can look up his name in my emails if anyone cares.)
I think the following would make great mods or new races.
Freespace
Freespace II
Wing Commander series
RoboTech
Homeworld (being done as we speak by others)

U can get the pics for the Vasudan and Terran ships off of volitions site. It is the Shivans that would be a problem.

Has anyone made these shipsets? If you have could you post them even if you don't have the AI yet?

Captain, I found your pants.

The pictures on volition's web site are not the right angle/size for me. I like having all my ships face the same way.
Here's the Vasudan Ship set I compiled. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/Forum25/HTML/000017.html
