Looks very good ingame! Also, those are some mighty fine lookin' weapons if I do say so myself!

[Kirbypowered]

Very nice so far. A question or two though; by showing off the weapons, do you mean their names/power consumption? I ask because, as far as I can tell, the designs are copies of other weapons. Also, are the long poles on either side just decoration or something weapon related?

I feel like I'm missing something here. PX

I mean showing off only as on a pure name basis. So I guess since you poked holes in it i'm not really showing anything off aside the fact that I have the weapons functionality and names done... haha. The designs are not done, sorry to confuse you!

The "poles" on the fins have no function. To be honest, they're on most, if not all Imperial capital ships, and I know my 40k lore quite well. I've never figured out what they actually are. If I had to guess, just sensor equipment... if they're weaponry I really don't know what weapons they'd be. Torpedoes are mounted on the prow, weapon batteries and lances go on the dorsal and broadsides, which are easy to see. Only other weapon Imperial Navy ships mount is a nova cannon, which is always mounted under the prow. Maybe I'll do a little more digging but I doubt I'll find much.

The best I can do is show you the the model I used. While not the exact same model, it is pretty much the same thing.



To be honest, now that you mention it, I didn't really do a good job modeling both of them. The one pictured ends in a more rounded way.

Thanks though!

Heh, it's cool. I can see a pretty good resemblance to the model in your ship design. Detail and such can always be improved upon over time.

My lack of knowledge pertaining to Warhammer 40k is likely the main cause of confusion here, in any case. Most all I know of it is thanks to some of my friends talking about it. =P

I was looking at the first post at some of the things you plan to do. I know you had asked me if you could make different types of boarding drones. I think I forgot to tell you the answer which is you can change the power and name and stuff, but not the other stats. It is possible to make other new attack drones and things. It also looks like you want to make new augmentations. You can't make new ones, but I think there is a way to change the strength of the effect of the existing ones, like changing a percent. I don't know how to do it though.

PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THIS MOD!!!!! I've been waiting and hoping for something like this since I discovered Warhammer 40k a few years back. The potential for awesomeness you have here is huge. SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!

Loving the 40K universe (and hey, fantasy too cause it is also awesome) this is a mod that I'd really like to see complete. I'd have to wonder however what would be the end aim goals on this project.

The first problem I see with this is the complete lack of weapons choices. Like if you're on an imperial navy cruiser your weapons choices are gonna be. weapon bateries, lances, torpedos and nova cannons... Drones as fighters and such. Now I won't be a nitpick about how many should you realisticly fit and that weapon are side mounted so that if the prow shots then the side shouldn't but, certainly having a nova cannon and a torpedo shouldn't be allowed. Similarly, having multiple races inside a ship wouldn't be logical, maybe one or anotehr race would have a few choices but that's about it.

I love the idea but I just fear for the severe limitation the universe imposes as this would be much more awesome to do with something like say, master of orion 2 which is a strategy game than actually a ship simulator.

Dude this looks awesome! please finish... or atleast release some of it i dont care if its broken lol. This is by far the best mod out there because its 40k... I would love to play! If i knew anything about modding this i would very much help.. hope this hasnt died

@DauntlessK - I'm not sure what electronic art assets and such that you have for BFG, but I have a shipload that may be of use to you as they are all top-down pictures of I think every single BFG craft, including battle stations and orbitals etc.

I had them for Vassal (an electronic board game simulator), they are fan-made, and they are of sufficient quality that I was modifying them all for use in a Distant Worlds mod.

If you're interested PM me and I'll see if I can add them to dropbox or something for you to look at.

Maybe I'll update this post with some screens after work.

Cheers
