Topic: Knights making Borg playable race in Dominion Wars ...

[WaterTiger]

The modder for the Knights, KnightIceman, is making an "assimilation patch" for Dominion Wars ...

We are making Borg a playable race for Dominion Wars and hope to test this on a server soon, perhaps the SBO "Battlegrounds" server after the current camp.

There are many Borg players we have in the Knights, and I know TAGRota would like this and pass it on to TAG Borg players.

To date, we have "assimilated" the following ships ... and a Federation starbase.

Valdore (Romulan) , Reman Warbird (Scimitar), Kron (Klingon ship), K'Tinga (Klingon), Saber (UFP FF) and a UFP starbase ...

These ships and the "assimilated" starbase would be added to Pelican's mod and then added to a server.

The ships are awesome.

As an example, we added ship textures to the Scimitar, which would fire ALL Borg weaponry and carry level 6 base shields and a cloak.

Here is a zip file with other screenshots of some of the "assimilated" vessels. We have more planned soon.

 Knights "assimilation zip

We have been trying to reach the maker of the Kron, but can't find him. I'm assuming this is public, but if not, let me know, and we can just assimilate another ship.

There are a few Borg vessels that are in the current Dom Wars, but these ships would be added.

Let me know if you like this idea to make the Borg a playable race for Dom Wars ...

So far we have had Borg players slobbering with anticipation.

The pics look good

I can't wait to fight the Borg Scimitar in the Reman Scimitar

But I noticed your using polaron beam textures for the cutting beams

I think it'd be better if you changed the damage on a few Romulan disruptors and rename them cutting beams in strings

They may not sound like cutting beams but atleast they'd look remotely like them

[WaterTiger]

They are changed. Look closely at the systems panel. The "other" beam you seem is a tractor. All will run with Borg sounds, also.

Oops you're right sorry

How the race selection menu be altered to accomidate the Borg?

Will it be like the TNG mega Mod?

Federation
Klingon/Romulan Empires
Dominion Axis
Borg Collective

Or is it something different?

[WaterTiger]

Yea, same as selecting any other race ... Only four races can be used, so the Dominion will be used as the non-playable race.
