I know u all hate me but....

Rite u all hate me so the chances of anyone of u helping me are as slim as me winning the lottery. ( I cant enter the lottery) But im trying to see if anyone will help me as im trying to make a mod but i have a few ideas that im wondering are possible.

1) A form of new storyline. NOT instead of the usual one but one after it mabye just a string of missions that the last one gives u sumting like 1million.

2)New systems and factions for the missions

3)O and sumting that i think may be good. U know the way on servers messeges are posted by the console evry 10min or sumting, i dunno ,but if u put the messeges in the "*new storyline*" with different words like telling u things like where u have to go and for the missions there be no waypoints just a message tellin u to go to mabye 5E or sumting.

4)Lots of new ships for the new factions.

5)Around 3 new factions that no one knows a thing about but there have been sightings of strange ships.

6)Those factions only able to be reached when u have to go sumwhere and u meet a ship and out of nowhere a jumphole appears and one of those 3 factions ships come out. You have to run away as they fire on u and everyother ship and u soon get a mission having to investigate what happened and when you go to c there is a big "*Hypergate*" and lots of ships and they tell u to land on this base they made. They tell u via messages.

I would LOVE if i or anyone else wud make that.
And the rest of the *"storyline*" wud be bfore that and after that.
So im wonderin if any of those ideas are possible.

Pete, you really don't realize what your asking.
1. To do a new story line , means voices, scripts for NPC's setting the cut scenes, like Trents and Kings flyby in the early part, ect. A great deal of work.
2. Some folks have created new areas/systems, like the Nexus, ect. Factions can be renamed, but the cards, ect must be changed to reflect the new names, like Klingons instead of Corsares. Again, lots of work.
3. Never have delt with servers, so no comments on that.
4. There are already a lot of new ships out there. Getting togeather with those folks and import them into a different mod could be done, but again, more work needed.
5. Again, more work. The nexus has a shadow faction that is auwsome.
6. Like the above, in the nexus is where the Shodows are.

The best thing you could do is to learn. Learn to mod exzisting weps, ships ect, making them stronger, differnt ect. After you get that down, learn to import ships, weps from other mods, so you learn what all it takes to have a new ship in the game. There are several files involved to bring a ship in. I have learned to do this. I took one from a mod that would crash on me when I tried that ship. I imported it and deleted the set weps and got it to work for me. Now I can fly a Maquies rader, Bird of prey, ect in Sp games with out having a mod in use.

You can learn to do these things no matter your age. Take the time, going thru the tutorals and read. The experiment. Who knows, you may one day make your own mod. But again, it takes work and time.

I supose I can help with some of it. Like the models. And maybe the info card or somthing, if I get it figured out that is.

I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

Thanks 4 the advice.
The storyline woudnt have cut scenes really just your ship wud bcome locked and u couldnt move it like in a tradelane and a ship wud b waiting and talk to u via messages or ,the much harder way, make recordings of real voices like u or me saying stuff and put it in the game.
Ive read alot of this forums threads and im starting to read tutorials now but it seems very hard and i dont want to spend all my time going through tutorials but if thats wot it takes then....wait ive another idea....ok ive started to read tutorials and im pretty confident with file types, movin them ,etc. Bt it wud be BRILLIANT if sumone wud help me make a mod like wot ive said. And the Nexus mod has probly done this without the storyline but lots of mods are really the same: just adding ships and systems etc but i want to add missions witout any waypoints and people in the missions help u and talk to u via messages.
So cud sum1 plz help me make this mod?
