Federation and Empire

Federation and Empire

This had begun as a collection of starships based upon the Star Fleet Universe and other sources and has now evolved into the development of a full complete mod.

What you can expect to see:
9 custom major races to choose:
United Federation of Planets; Klingon Empire; Romulan Star Empire; Kzinti Hegemony; Lyran Star Empire; Hydran Kingdom; Gorn Confederation; Tholian Holdfast; and the Interstellar Concordium.

8 Custom minor races.

Custom technology trees and weapons set up for each race.
Custom player useable shipstyles for every race.

2 Custom Immense Maps: "Federation and Empire" and "The General War"

Custom Campaign: "ISC Invasion"

Starship sets are being developed now and available for use here:

I gladly accept ideas for this mod and collect ships that you make to add to the ship sets. Feel free to share your ideas. I'd love to see your screenshots as well.

AF, is it okay if I use your Kzinti tech tree and ship style in a mod I'm making. Also I think me and you should do a sequel to this mod once if it's succesful. It could set in the Next Generation Era.

Correct I'm already going to do a NGE expansion.  I'm more concerned in getting the 24th Century ships looking right then anything else.  It will also include a 24th Century ship style for the selected races that way the Romulan AI will actually build the correct warbird and such.

Do what you want with the Kzinti ships.  As for all my stuff, I freely grant permission to anyone.  Just a mention of my work in your mod would be appreciated.

even a 24 Cen tech tree?

Reply #929 Top

Yes I mentioned before I would have to adjust the weapons of the races, thus needing a new tech tree for some of them.

Reply #931 Top

And you thought the British Parliament was rough and tumble politics - {G}.

Lyran Star Empire has a feudal system of government.  The empire is composed of Duchies and those are broken down further into counties.  The county known as Dark Star (because they have a black hole) were inspired by the virtues of the Federation and broke away establishing a democracy known as the Lyran Democratic Republc (LDR).  This started a civil war obviously but luckily the Dark Star County was one of the more wealthier ones and was able to repel anything the Lyrans could throw at them.  If the Lyrans weren't always busy with other wars, especially with the Kzinti chances are they could have crushed them quickly.

Eventually the Duke of the Enemy's Blood Duchy who once controlled the Dark Star County offered a sort of peace.  The elected official would serve as the "sector count" and could remain autonomous as long as it sworn fealty to the Duke and the Empire.

Like all Lyrans (except those in the WYN star cluster), the LDR loathe the Kzinti.

The Wyn star cluster was a grouping of stars that had a dense radiation sphere around them.  It had been though of as to thick to pass through and you would die in the attempt.  During the Kzinti civil war, the lossers plunged into it.  Prefering death over capture.  Because of the speed they were going at.  They made it though alive.  Thus the rebel Kzinti's learned that they had not been the first.  That Lyrans and Orion Pirates being chased did the same thing.  So all three groups made their own goverment and made plans of coming out for revenge later on.  So is the creation of the Wyn.

so what are these guys going to be a minor race or what?

Reply #937 Top

You got it backwards, the Kzinti made it throught the WYN cluster first in Y116.  Orions established their first base there in Y136.  I'm not sure when the Lyrans made it but I do know that when the Orions showed up only the Kzinti were there.  Lyrans have had so many civil wars its hard to make sure.  These races were followed by Klingons and any other reject of galactic society.  Think, Mos Eisley Cantina.

Yes.

The WYN shipstyle which is player selectable will be very interesting.  Like their diverse races within the WYN so are their ships.  True the WYN have ships all their own but part of their fleet will consist of Lyran, Kzinti, and Orion ships.  Few Klingon too I think.  Anything they could buy or steal was added to their fleet.

As I said, WYN use ships of many races but this is one of their own.  The Carcharodon Heavy Cruiser.

it looks like an old federation vessale.

Reply #943 Top

The Wyn were well known for taking parts form any race and adapting them for their usage.  So you could easily see Federation, Klingon, Orion, Kzinti, Lyran, and other parts on the ships.

This mod is currently in a coma.  Life is currently taking over.

Reply #947 Top

Sorry to hear that AF.  Hope everything turns out ok for you.

Whenever the conditions get better for supplemental "work" on that mod, we'll always be there for you - buddy!

One thing to be said about life is that it sometimes brings us right back to more important priorities... in my case, that means i will be getting a tough surgery to my left hand on 11/11, as a result i should also have to slow down development of CoSH & X-Worlds since i'll be stuck with some sort of 'Borg_like_implant' which would interfere with ANY or most computer tasks on a keyboard for at least four months. Here, crossing fingers (pun intended!) that they won't have to go through amputation -- IF i'm lucky.

And, then yet another Carpal tunnel operation to that same wrist.

But... that's only health related complications.

Hey AF. I was wondering if I can use your Klingon ship style in a mod I'm making. I will give you credit.

Reply #950 Top

Hey Ronin, thanks again for all the work on the ships and the CFG file.  You did great stuff here.  I do have a question for anyone that may know, Im looking to make up the other races in the game, but i dont know anything about them or what abilities they should even have.  I can do the Fed, Klingon, Romulans, and prolly Gorn, but the others I have no idea.  Any suggesstions for their abilities and super ability would be awesome. 

 

Again to Ronin, thanks bud for the great shps!
