IDEA on new game ships
« on: November 04, 2010, 07:39:45 PM »
well this popped into my mind earlier today but it would take some commitment to complete and since i don't have the necessary time at this moment in my life, i thought i would pitch it to anyone who likes the idea.

Has anyone ever heard of a game called 'Sins Of a Solar Empire', and if so have you played it. i played it for a while and was extremely impressed with the graphics, smooth running game-play and all round atmosphere of the game,

for a brief overview just search for it in google.

~i know what most people would say about this idea of converting every ship and Star base to BC -they would either say its not practicle and wouldn't fit in with the BC style of playing but you know there are some pretty awesome ships on that game and neat *** weapons which i feel would contribute to a already great game(BC) and would expand the possibilities of BC.

hope someone will check out SOSE(sins of a solar empire) because really it is a awesome game(not as good as BC in my opinion but most definitely one of the best space RTS`s iv ever played. Comments>?

as a general rule, modders dont take requests when it comes to new ships...
modders are always backlogged with their own projects and as such very very rarely ever take a request...

how come you haven't got the "don't bother asking for mods, everyone's too busy" thing posted in headline sized letters somewhere?

because 99% of the time it is one of those things that is understood and goes without saying...
but every so often, someone is new and may not honestly be aware of it, so then the info is shared...

Oh no, i did know this but since i can`t take it on at this point because i`m essentially a newbie and i`v got important things going on over the next week, i decided to post the idea.(mainly because if anyone has played SOSE they would be like, that's  a good.

so this was worth stating in my opinion, it was worth a shot even if i get derogatory comments like yours

Dude, how was Jimmy being derogatory???  It's as he said, he thought you may not have known so he was informing you.  It wasn't meant to be derogatory!

Jimmy's pretty much the most active MODERATOR here.  I wouldn't go around bashing him like that.

If you want to contribute to the community, then learn to mod.  Doesn't help to attack people.

I've played it.  It's a really good game and the ship designs are great.  The alien designs are particularly interesting, often times organic looking but still easily recognizable as spaceships.  I've considered taking some cues from them in may alien designs, but so far, no real luck, and I'm not interested in recreating them straight up for BC.

I have, VERY good game. Were I a modder, Id definitely build some ships inspired by the game's designs.

I happen to have the ships sitting on my hdd in .obj format. Nabbed them so I'd have a decent-sized freighter in Freelancer...

I played it, but like most games I play it did not grab my attention enough to keep playing. The last few games that have done that are R.U.S.E and the Metroid Prime Trilogy on the WII.  :thumbsup:

The fact that he's new is also no reason to hijack the thread by turning it into a discussion about games instead of modding. If nobody has anything further to say about this persons request that's actually related to Bridge Commander then I should expect no further posts.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D
