Starcraft Ships

Well i can't mod worth **** but i bet alot of people would like these ships and possibly someone could make them? Heres a list of starcraft mods that should be made

First to the ships and weapons.

Fighters/Battleships:

Protoss Scout
PRotoss Cosair
Protoss Arbiter
Protoss Carrier
Terran Battleship
Terran Valkryie
Terran Wraith
(Maybe the zerg units too)
Zerg Mutalisk
Zerg Guardian and Devour

Weapons:
Make Carriers lanch missles that look like interceptors and call them protoss interceptors

Make a very powerful weapon and only one mount for it on the terran battleship and call it Yamato Gun (gotta love that)

Make a cruise disrupter for the cosair disrupter thingy.....

Make zerg scourge a missle-type thing for MUtalisks

Make two seperate mounts for missles only for the wraith

Make somekinda fast-refireing battleship-type missle thingy for the Valkryie

Transports/Frieghters:

Dropship(Transport)
Science Vessel (frieghter)
Protoss Shuttle (Transport)
Protoss Observer (very very smal frieghter, good for cardamine runs, high shielding, no guns, fastness, cloaked but make it be able to dock and be detected)
Zerg Overlord (Transport)

Note: Observer should be able to carry about a dromy amount of cargo, no weapons, should be considered light with good shielding, should be superfast, basiclly ur cardamine runner with no guns.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok now for some other ideas like Factions.......Should be simple enough The protoss, the zerg, Then maybe some of the terran factions like Sons of Korhal, Kel-Morian Combine, Umjon Protectorite, The Confederacey (with groups in it suchs as alpha squadron)

Now for some ideas that i dont think have ever been made...

First make a new model for a base, say one looks like a starport or a floating hive....interesting? if thats possible that would own.

now another idea would be making new comadities...or however you spell it.

Like make certain things like Terran Marine or Goliths or things like Zerg Larve or Protoss Khydrian Cyrstals as something you can buy and sell. Be pretty interesting eh?


Note: I know some of these things might not be possible but hell its worth a try

I have an idea regarding the spawning of missiles as fighters. It involves replacing the missile type with a fighter model and trying to stick the loadouts and AI of the fighter on board. Its going to have strange results though.

I wouldnt know, i'm not a modder, i'm a player.

While I know that the Wraith used only missiles while in air-to-air combat, I'm sure that nobody would mind if we also gave it the three laser mounts that it has as well.

I sure as hell wouldnt.


if people do make zerg ships try to make them look as biological as possible.

Hmm... a good base for the zerg hive would be the nomad "lair" on one of the later missions...

another point, u would need pulsing + glowing bits for the headlights and running lights on the zerg attack units...


zerg cruiser = queen?

zerg battleship = infested terran bship?

zerg tranny = overlord?

basiclly yeah, those were just most of the units to work off of.......the drone could be a zerg csv......i mean it was originally a floating unit in sc beta and before....if u dont believe me find screenshots....lol


But an infested battleship....hrm i've never thought of that...sonds like ownage.....i want to know what that ship was though in the intro movie to the first sc game.....that looks useful.

Good grief, can you imagine trying to model those d@mn spindly things that the Overlords dangle beneath them? That'd be a royal pain in the but if you wanted them to look good. Other than that, it sounds like an excellent idea to me.

New ship and units are possible. But I do doubt if we can make bio-looking ships.
One major pain will be how do we design their engine. I can't imeage Overlord fly with nomod thruster.

Peace doesn't exist between the livings, but the dead.

Don't have a graphic for it? as in hide the thruster so its unseable and dont have any flare from the thruster...then you cant see it, and dont call it a nomad thruster, call it a Biological Thurster which drains a little bit but not alot of energy, i'd a little bit better than a order thruster, like 1 or 2 better.. and for the shieds............make the armor uber no shields.

They'd look kinda weird, you don't see most of them in 3d, so it might be hard. But if you wanna give it a shot, go for it!
