That brings it to, I think 14?

Looks pretty sweet =)

Nice

The power of the ancients is now yours to command. You are truly the Master... of the obvious

Can't wait to use your ship set!!

I love the whole idea of the borg race in SEV. Thanks for the work your putting in on this.

SEV, more than a feeling.

It will go well with the other star trek races....

I have been waiting for someone to make a Borg shipset for months now, can't wait for it to be finished. There's just something satisfying about going around pummeling the opponents' ships with the most powerful enemy in all of Star Trek.

The only concern I have that you haven't addressed is the size of the ships. A standard cube is should outsize a galaxy class by far. I know you can't actually go to that size, because that would bring them to a size similar to small planets, but perhaps you could scale them up at least a little?

Regardless, I will be downloading this when it's released

I just downloaded and installed your ship set. It worked perfectly. I was expecting the Borgs for a while. That is a real good start, especially considering that this is your first modeling experience. Keep up your good work !

Hey any chance that you could give this to fyron for the downloads file at Spaceempires.net?

You can also have your shipset hosted on our servers, which also allows bug tracking and feature requests.

uhm, anybody else having problems reaching the spaceempires.net webpage?
i can reach the portal but can´t get through to the shipyard or the forum etc.

SpaceEmpires.net | Space Empires Wiki

This thread shows at least one such request..

The point of the projects system is mainly to encourage participation.. I'm not sure why people are so standoffish about using it. At the very least it's a place to host downloads for free with the bonus of a community to back it up. I mean really, what's so wrong about that?

It's an old front page from before SEV, I think. You have to expand it a little to get the site to http://www.spaceempires.net/home/index.html

That should work just fine. And this shipset is so facinating. Can't wait to see it over time with improved textures and size relation. Baseship really should be the full on cube from the series. Huge compared to the rest of the the Federation ships!

So, the big question...

The one on everyone's mind...

The one that will determine the course of reality itself!!!

Okay...maybe not THAT important...but I'm dieing to know...

Do the cubes fly flat-side first, or edge-first?

I've noticed something slightly odd about this mod.
When playing as the borg, i have several fleets, 90% of the time they are all ok. But for some reason, maybe once every other turn one of the fleets will turn a funny colour. Imagine a tv set that can't get a picture, it has the horizontal black and white lines across it, well my borg cubes look like that, both on the big map and the smaller/battle map, they can be either white, red, green or purple (so far at least).

Any ideas why? I don't get why a fleet would be normal one turn and then fuzzy the next, just to go back to being normal again.

Sorry, accidentally posted that twice.

Who knows? But I'm Pretty sure they fly upside down....

Groovy Baby Yeah!

The question is, what is up, and what is down in space?

Ah ok, skins look good anyway. I'm intrigued as to how the stabases are going to look like, they looked like a jumble yard in the tv programmes!

I got a question, if I add this to my SE5 folder, can this cause any major damage to my game or is it like a bonus content? exp: downloading custom maps on warcraft 3

You could consider is bonus content.

An AI can pick this race too though. And if the AI script is broken then the borg won't pose much challenge.
But if you just add it to your races folder, there should not be any problems.

It's also a seperate folder you use; Each shipset has it's own folder.
So you can always easily throw it off if you dont want it .

No damaging effects

Note: If you want to use a shipset with a mod, such as the balance mod, then you will also have to add the shipset to the balance mod folder. Note that the balance mod Ai is different from standard AI, and that you will have problems there for sure if the AI decides to pick your shipset.

But in multiplayer everything works smoothly.

I think that if you use this shipset yourself, the AI won't think of picking it - so you can put it in the BM folder, as long as when it's there you're always using it. Anyone can confirm that?

You could always copy the AI settings of an existing race, and simply toss in new ship models.

Might not work so well when different races AI's are customised to best fit that particular race...

I don't see a problem if the shipset is the only difference.

5. Adding Custom Races to the Mod:
-----------------------------------

If you've downloaded a new shipset and would like to use in the Balance Mod, follow the steps
below:

1. Create a folder in the Balance Mod's Empires folder with the same name as the Race's default folder - it
is important to use the exact same name so the game will now where the pictures and models are
2. Copy the race's [Race Name]_AI_main.txt file into that folder
3. Edit the following lines in [Race Name]_AI_main.txt:

From:
AI Script File := [Race Name]\[Race Name]_Main_Script.csf
AI Script Empire Setup File := [Race Name]\[Race Name]_Setup_Script.csf

To one of the following default scripts:
AI Script File := Default\Default_Moderate_Main_Script.csf
AI Script Empire Setup File := Default\Default_Moderate_Setup_Script.csf

AI Script File := Default\Default_Defensive_Main_Script.csf
AI Script Empire Setup File := Default\Default_Defensive_Setup_Script.csf

AI Script File := Default\Default_Aggressive_Main_Script.csf
AI Script Empire Setup File := Default\Default_Aggressive_Setup_Script.csf

This will tell the AI to use the Balance Mod's default AI files with the ship set, making sure it works
properly with the mod.

Hmm... Maybe that's the problem I was having with my ships set I posted about just below this one.

thanks!
