Geek assistanced needed-andromedan invader schematics
« on: June 16, 2004, 05:30:29 am »
Does anyone have any information on andro's, such as the ship classes WZ has been making (they come  from fasa or something right?) because I have no idea what they fire or from where.

they are from SFB, but be warned the original SCS's arent as cool looking, in fact they are kinda ugly.

Actually they look like Desty's Andromedans which IMO are better looking than WZ's (*ducks mobs*) WZ did a TOS/TMP style Andromedan which basically resembles the Intruder called the Instigator which IMO is more graceful and sharp than his bulky semi-circular TNG designs with the huge engine blocks. It's all personal preference in the end.

There used to be a site that had all the official SSDs at darkshire.org and it was working a month or two ago but alas it no longer seems to exist, all the other SSD sites I found only show fan-made SSDs.

Marauth:

There's a good reason that the old John Kim site got shut down if he had OFFICIAL SSD'S up for D/L! Those belong to ADB and he had no right to post anything official.

It's a shame though, cause he had some pretty good unofficial designs there.

Starforce:

What kind of info do you need? I've got a pretty good number of the Andromedian SSD's.  (They were a part of Star Fleet Battles, not the FASA Trek game.) I'd be more than happy to send you the racial info and a breif on the Andro's unique weapons and equipment.

Marauth is right about how the ships looked- Desty Nova has the place to go for SFB-style ship models.

Also, here is the link to the Star Fleet Battles painter's guide for the Andro ships:  http://www.starfleetgames.com/minis/AND/Andro_Painting_Guide.pdf
That aught to show you what they are supposed to look like.

I'm not sure if he had the actual SSDs of the official ships but I remember complete lists of the official ships with some of the stats, I don't think he was doing anything illegal.

I must say though I'm not normally a fan of the SFB ships, especially their non-canon races as they often do look hideous, esp. the Hydrans and Kzinti and the Hawk-series Romulans, where's that vomit-smiley... LOL Though the Andromedans and ISC do look good even though they're all alike to one another.

Give me some time, I will compile a list of Andromedan ship classes and basic stats.

Marauth, my Andros aren't TNG, they're TMP era and the Instigator is TOS/SFB era. They aren't from FASA or anywhere else, but are based on the two unused Andro designs from Taldren.

The red dots on the Andro ships (both mine and Desty's) are the phaser points and the blue circular emplacements are the TR beam emitters. The only other weapons emplacements (on mine any way) are the orange power absorber torpedo tubes on my X-Ships.

TRB: Tractor Repulsor Beam, basically it's like a tractor beam but it alternates between tractoring and repelling the enemy ship so fast that it literally shakes the ship apart. There's a bit of leftover code in OP so you can use it ingame.
