Topic: An SFC OP+ request: ANDROS (Read 1153 times)

I love the OP+ mod. It's great - especailly the one with all the models included

I do have one request though. Could you possibly put out a version with Andros in it? Maybe replace one of the pirate races or something? Maybe none of their ships would be available, and thus could not appear until the Late era and slowly increase in availability as the Advanced era approaches......

Just a suggestion. Definitely keep the original - very very cool. I would just like to play out some of the battles involving the Andros...

Thanks,

Micah

Firesoul has already said 'NO' to this request before. I seriously doubt he will change his mind even though Taldren did release a few concept stage 'Galaxies At War' Models.

Part of this decision is based on the fact that certain SFB weapons/capabilities can not be exactly duplicated in SFC as they are in SFB. Many, not all, die hard SFBers believe its either do these races 100% right or not at all. That is their opinion, not mine or the Galaxies at War Mod developers.

Currently, things like the Klingon Academy style Tholian web effect and the Andromedan PA panels are being worked on as best as can be made given the SFC2/OP game.

In the meantime, a Galaxies at War Mod is being worked on as I write this, and will include Tholians, Seltorians, Mirror Universe Imperials and the Andromedans. The Camboro and Wyn have also been moved to their own pirate cartel slot. We have a lot of work to do still...

Hang on its going to be a bumpy ride...

Best wishes to everyone!

I look forward to it.

I realize that many things would be difficult under the OP programming. I am of the opinion that as close as you can get is good enough with this kind of thing.

For instance, the PA panels (and they're cascading damage effets when overloaded) could be simulated by giving the Andros extremely strong shields and a relatively weak hull. Sure it's not exactly how the PAs would work, but an hey, SFC doesn't work exactly like SFB in the first place.

KF is right, you know. Having played against the Andros and WITH Tholians, notihng in SFC could truly make these races work like they should.

Besides.. that's not the focus of OP+. OP+ itself revolves around expanding on the original shiplist. .. (damn.. where's that thing I keep on my site and I always use...)

"Let's add what's missing from SFB. .. but let's do it as if we were Taldren so that we can preserve the good feel of the game. Its style must match Taldren's, as if it was an extension and continuation of their work."
