Hello all,
I started working on an sfc3 mod a few months back and I am about to release it. Now all that remains is I got to see if Gamespy will host it and I may list it on SFU if they don?t mind. When it becomes available for download I will post the location in case anyone cares to try it.
Mod features:
15 extra ship models included.
Still based on the original Races.
Some or all AI have been enhanced. Added legendary and expert crew to most AI.
Star bases and defense platforms have legendary crew. Base and planetary Assault missions are significantly harder.
Star bases have superior shields over normal ships.
Each race has it's own battle ship.
Battle ships have their own type of warp core and they have base shields ( except Borg ).
The Borg have an additional battle ship which is the only ship with base weapons, and is the strongest ship.
There is an extra single player map available. Goto the list all campaigns section.
All ships have been made harder to destroy. Shields take more direct hits and armor is more absorbent.
All ships have been balanced on how much haul damage they can take.
Certain weapons have also been increased in damage but not all.
Sub-systems and Officers are easier to disable or kill. Side effect of increased AI and also due to more powerful weapons.
Certain Romulan ships have been given extra weapons to make them equal to ships of the same size.
Anti-matter Mine layers cost much more and do greater damage (mine layers pay for the ability to kill ).
Base shields and battle ship warp cores are available for refit now, They will not fit on normal ships.
Warp cores survive more damage. ( this Mod is for the un-patched version of sfc3 )
Impulse engines and thrusters have been increased in output for heavy class ships.
Cloak is allot harder to detect but unfortunately not hard enough for a probe....
Pirate, Rakellians and Ferengi have been enhanced.
Freighters have better sheilds and armor and thus are much harder to kill.
Weapons and shield properties of each race are different, some races have really strong secondary weapons while others have really strong primary weapons. Each race has an ability that allows it an edge in certain types of missions.
Credits and info are in the Mod. I hope this is not my last release as I can see a few more thing that I thing would enhance the game. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions! If you wish to leave a negative comment please at least let me know how you would make it better so I might try to correct it in my next release. Even bad reviews can have positive effects.
