The Final Frontier MOD by B-rat

and to answer the first question
NO - it isnt a startrek based mod (but some ships might look like they are from it)

A list of things included:
none of the old are used
24+ systems

4 old ones used (synth foods,farmers alliance,nomads,bounty hunters guild)
14+ factions

all new weapons
all new shields
cruise speed 800 or more (havent desided yet)

10+ new commodities
i replaced some of the old ones

engine speeds very different ranges from 50-500

currently 15 ships
expected or thinking of 30+ ships

complete with new IDs and names

thruster speeds from 200-600

probably a new universe look (need help)

and i need textures a lot of them (i suck at drawing textures)

MAJOR CLAN WARS will be supported every 1-2 weeks

I will have a website ready soon so we can talk there . For now this topic/forum will be good enough

the first clan will be the SHADOW CLAN (leader ME , does it exist already ???)

i need all the help of you people
(i have a small team with me but i can use more help)

ANYONE WELCOME to email me at [email protected]

this WILL be an RPG,TC mod (because little of these are already made)

and sorry for my bad spelling

EDIT: some of the smilies didnt work

EDIT:almost all of the models are low-poly models no more than 500 polygons
this is if some of the players have not-so-good computers

EDIT:i will be adding custom ships(mostly for leaders,admins,server police)

EDIT:i will answer ANY question i can , anyone who helps me will be rewarded and in the credits

forgot to add to the list :
i have put in LOTS of minefields just wanna know how to change the colour of a nebula

Hehe, I wish you good luck. Thats a pretty big you've got ahead of you...I planned on making an X-BTF mod for Freelancer...alot was done, very similiar ideas, but I cancelled it all because it was too much...

Just warning you really...you're going to run into ALOT of problems

For the Nebulas...I'll let you find that out yourself

i dont have any problems ,for now ,i just need a lot of TIME

besides i`ve got all the systems working , most of the factions made , ship models all made (just the damn orientation and positioning of the weapons is giving me a headache ) , most of the shields and weapons are made ,looks like im making good time , the only thing is i`ve got a modem thats to slow to host a server , but i`ve got a lot of work with testing at the moment , TEXTURES i
just cant make good textures so i figured i will download and use the texture
packs , so thats that the only thing i dont have currently is:

properly positioned hardpoints on the ships

all the factions (i got 12 made)

the commodities (just the small pics/icons)

and NAMES FOR THE SYSTEMS & BASES
this is a real problem as i have got no imagination

the weapon & shield names

a new universe look (the system map)

ow a list of current names:
SYSTEMS
a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , b 1 , b 2 , b 3 , c 1 , c 2 , c 3 , e , d , 4 ---- CIV systems
route 66
united federation of planets
bloodbath
golden gate
pirates primary
pirates delta 9
pirates secondary
united space alliance
USA border
USA edge
ADMIN ONLY
bounty hunters
Marathon


well i will be damned i am only 13 years old (soon to be 14)
and im working alone on this mod (with ideas coming from my friends)
so i guess it really effects my grades in school
anyway i am really good at MODing (or really bored with my life)

the story has changed … edison trent died on freeport 7 and along with him the A R T I F A C T
. The nomads destroyed earth and sirius but we have a new begining far away from the old galaxy about
1704812308347102830921300560000000000000000000000000000000000000000 light years away (give or take 100000)
deep into the heart of the new galaxy we are begining again but the nomads found us so we called their
connecting systems to us BLOODBATH

so any1 interested in this MOD i got a lot of work done
just problems with wpn orientation and placement so ....
i will be making a BETA to release soon

ow and if any1 is willing to do the wpns orientation and placement

....you've posted 7 times in your own topic. You already seem to know how to use the edit button, so you could have just combined some of those other posts...




Rest in Peace Bob

B-rat, posting without editing your last post is seen as a spam method to increase post count by many..............and its true. You can delete the last "edited by....." entry when you edit threads, which will mean that it doesn't appear to have been edited lots of times, but shows new content has been added still (*edit date). However, posting new stuff in thread really does appear as spam post count, and an attempt to make a thread look "popular" without real content. Personally - i don't give a monkeys about ranking systems and such, but please, use the edit button............it will still bump the thread to the top if you edit your post

so i thinked up a little story that will happen over my mod

eem once apon a time there was a little civilization called humans
the nomads were big and bad and killed them
the humans sent sleeper ships to sirius
the nomads killed trent and destroyed all of serius
humans launched milions of escape pods to The Final Frontier
the so-called edge of the galaxy and beyond to a diffirent galaxy
the nomads invade from only one baren system called bloodbath

*** you are here***

the nomads get out and kill lots of humans
the humans form four major clans
the nomads destroy all but a few systems
the humans are all but extinkt and hide from the nomads
and develop UBER weapons and very fast ships
the nomads are all but banished from the systems
and the humans re-take the all of the systems
except bloodbath and keep a very big battle station at the jump hole

so does any1 like the idea ?
