Star Trek Armada II....a addon ship Idea

[Slappy The Vulcan]

Yeas I know Armada II isnt as great as Armada I...but it could be...with the addition of the U.S.S. Kelvin...I poted a thead on the Armada II boards with the hope of getting this done...Im also appealing for help here....I recently saw that sin 87 created a mod of the kelvin....which looks great by the way, I had an Idea for it, wet cant impliment it because I know nothing of modding besides piddling with the .odf files. the Idea I had started with this thread on Trek BBS: Facts About Captain Robau - The Trek BBS I think this would be a big hit so here goes. Alter the stats of the Kelvin to cost alot of money, be basically indestructable, and have a special weapon called "Robau's Rage". (Bassically a shockwave that wipes out everything or some high powered beam or torpedo that destroys ANYTHING in one shot. Also give the Kelvin the ability to "Cleanse" a planet in 2 seconds. Name this MOD the U.S.S. Kelvin "BADASS" edition. We at trekbbs would all love this, The only names for the ship should be the Kelvin, Robau, or BADASS. This would be greatly appreciated as I have tried but am not savvy enough to Impliment this mod myself, (nor can I ask sin87's permission) so, how about it, anyone?...esp. sin87?..;...This is a copy of the thread I posted, the original kelvin mod is here: http://armada2.filefront.com/file/USS_Kelvin_Proxima_Class;96389.

Can any help me out...or at least take a read of what I want to do and point me in the direction of Doing it?

You sir are a visionary. A visionary I say.

Hi I randomly found your post a few days ago & if you haven't yet checked back there & seen my post then here it is.

"Unfortunately that Kelvin model won't be released on Armada as it comes in at around 14,000 polys which is too high for the game as at the most it should be somewhere around 2500 polys. Also I've haven't done any work on that ship in the past month as I've been under the weather a bit & If you use the link below you'll find that I'm experimenting with building a new Connie with 3DS max, though I'll be returning to the Kelvin as I hope to release it before the movie comes out.

For the time I suggest some else builds a lower poly version that actually is designed for Armada as for the time my works presently are been designed for use in a game like Legacy, while also been built to a higher level so I can get some good kudos that could allow me to enter the CG industry as a pro in the future."

Project Links - The second link is the fore mentioned Kelvin model, Where the first is my present project

Acturlly I do have a Proxima / Kelvin combo mod already online, maybe you could mod it to carry your super "BADASS" weapons if you haven't got it heres the link.

OK yesterday I finally got round to working on my Kelvin for the first time in over a month & right before I went to bed I spent half an hour seeing if I could reduce the model down to a good poly count. I manged to reduce it from 12,000 to just over 5,000 polys so I may do your idea in the near future or at least release a newer proper USS Kelvin that is more than just a kit-bash of a Proxima class.

Note the picture is of a older model version & not the reduced poly model, Though the reduced version dose look very similar to this.
