Unfortunately, with the amount of people jumping on Kickstarter, I think a WC project based on that would be lost in the noise to all but us. Roberts seems more of an 'All or Nothing' kinda guy to me. Mass Effect Space Combat sim huh? Don't recall much talk about fighter-sized craft in the...

I could do that, probably a lot faster than I have done your concept work!

Dude, I don't know how you are finding all the time to do this so fast - I am so envious.

That's an awesome idea - just swap out the shield HUD gauge for one that has an 'outline only' image of the ship while it's cloaked. More scripting I suppose. Don't even know if it's possible as I stay the hell away from FRED. Or at least the crazy parts of it.

Thanks for all the responses, folks. You've summed up pretty much the same conclusions as I came to - it needs to be much less grand in scale. Good point about keeping it non-specific to ship class - should be easy so long as I keep it in mind as I go. Interestingly, that design originally...

Finally got some time to post a couple of sketches. which let to: And here's my mainhall for my mod. Just for fun. You may recognise it... So I have been going for a whole open/communal feel for the Kilrathi mainhall. If you imagine a space directly below the length of a hangar...

It's too big to be a moon. Probably some kind of space station. If I want a venture I usually just tape a bunch of cats together. That's enough I'm not going to be responsible for prolonging the death throes of this thread. Somebody hand me a sidearm and I'll shoot it in the spine or cloaca...

Really? I always just thought it was a ship of the line, not any type of carrier... For the purposes of adding it into a game, I would use all the size stats & role designation from the manuals, then add weapons to make it match those stats. As is said above, the weapons seen in-game...

Ok I have procrastinated too long about this. Have done a few sketches, will throw them up in the next couple of days... I will say this - there will be nothing like the glass/metal structure above. The best example of Kilrathi interior design we have seen is the big chamber in the WC3 intro...

Yeah, it was an animated film called 'Fern Gully.' Disney also did an animated film called 'Pocahontas' that was kind of similar. Can't think of any other films that are like this though. I don't think there would be much chance of one being made - it's a theme that has been done so many...

Maybe she is the final FINAL cylon. Just need to find the right bit of music... Obviously not that one tune in the rec room on the victory.

You can kind of fake a capship having forward guns by just making single-part turrets with firepoints facing forwards and defining "fire down normals" in the table entry for the turret. AI doesn't know what to do at close range but it should fire off a couple of shots as it closes in from a bit...

There is a description of the kilrathi writing system in one of the manuals I remember, describing vertical sets of lines, four per glyph, and each set sounding out a phonic. You can see this on the dralthi cockpit from wc1, just above the pilots knees next to the left and right vdu's.

I voted Pilgrim. I would like to see more of the conflict leading up to the rollout of the Confed Grand Fleet. This time without space hookers, super powers, flying jellyfish and floaty blue clouds. Y'know, sensible, believable writing and the like. They would make for an interesting enemy...

I like the assymetrical style - I would just totally remove all the outer circular parts. Anything that frames the entire HUD. Less is more.

Seconded.

Tongue firmly imbedded in cheek...

So long as whatever gets designed has large open areas with dangerous ledges and pits and openings into space. It strikes me that the Kilrathi are somewhat lacking in the occupational safety and health area... So no guard rails! And there better be some sharp pointy objects to run into!

I suppose we did see them landing in hangar bays in a VTOL-like manner... fair enough. And good point about Air Force vs. Navy fighters (f-16s, carriers etc. etc.). Strike Commander! Why didn't we see more physics from that game in WC3!? Especially as the WC3 engine was derived from Strike...

I really didn't get the reason for atmospheric missions. Sure, the final mission, fine I guess. But obviously the game engine was never really designed to handle atmospherics - as evidenced by setting your throttle to zero, and obviously the AI couldn't navigate correctly without smacking into...
