@Fran
na i didn´t gave up i just run in some real live issues

@Delta425
Nope actually i want only make Shivans , if i get the time to update it i eventualy make Vasudan AND GTA not or :3

Seems now you gave up on mod :(

Nice! Freespace was a classic, great to see it here. Any plans for Vasudan or GTA?

no worries, hope all is well, good luck

Hello All sry for Sayin nothing to this day, but i have alot of work in RL so havent make big progress to update this mod but i still dont abadon it no worry :3

Soo I Started Now with the Build in on NSC Support, sadly i lost the orginal mod files so i will Reupload it and Change the Description here for ya all :3

i Thinked about to implement some weapons and buildings to you can get via a Seperate Civic so the Tech Stuff will be Optional.

About the Turrets i Still Must learn how to, i think i first Create the Support for NSC and the Techs then i will Upgrade the Textures and Then last i will Fix the Turret point Problem ^^

so Stay Tuned <(^.^)>

really cool bro, thanks for taking the time to do this ive wanted to play free space in stellaris for along time! i cant wait to try them out!

@arrowsforu Sure you can add me and send me a DM if you want ^^

If you want, I can also show where to get a lot of the custom Shivan ships made for some freespace mods, many of them are free to use!

@darth mysterious Thanks , i will give it a try after the next dlc is out:3

well wyv3rn i got you covered.

below is a wiki that explains it all from custom ship sections to turret locations to custom components.

here you go: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Ship_modding

@Dispesys i thinked alot and actualy i dont have time for make it NSC compatible , the reason is i workin IRL as Software dev and simultan i work on creating a own game ^^" so in future eventualy, but acutally no i am sry .

@darth mysterious yes as above if i got more time i will add these kind of things

my biggest problem besides time is i dont know how to add the weapon hardpoints so the guns/shoots are always from the center of the ship

but if anyone want to create ships for NSC2 Combatibly feel free to tell me i have no problems to work with others ^^

@Wyv3rn can you make it compatible with NSC? Aka making the missing ships for it?

if you ever decide to add ship components (weapons, armor, shields Etc.) will they give armor / shield penetration/ hardening respectively?

we all know that Shivan weaponry can bypass shields & armor (the beam weapons that is) & that Shivan warships are notoriously hard to destroy.


either way, thank you for your valuable time reading this.

@Malikto Actually Not ^^

@All i am actually not at home , so i cant do anything at this mod ^^

NSC2 compatible?

@-=EDF=- Kouta Seto what are you on about exactly? no one mentioned BP, or WoD, or any of that, most here don't even know what that is.

Also, let the mod author do as they please.

@arrowsforu by all duo respect to blue planet but.... it would INSULT those of us disliking the stuff that the mod did storywise (Yes... what killed it for me was the entire religion shit that was put in there. Also, objectivly, its just another FS2 mod. Compared to WoD its nothing realy (and didnt even take the stuff WoD did invent (like multi targeting).

The Shiva as Juggernought thou would be great as she is near 2x as large as the Sathanas.

Also, i would suggest you rethink using the Dragon as corvett.. rather use, like most others, the frigate and corvett one as the same sooo it would be a Lilith. The Moloch as Cruiser is great and Demon as "Carrier" also. Thou the Titan SHOULD be the Lucifer realy and the world killer the Sathanas (given she has no problems with entire stars)

@arrowsforu i must take a look thanks ^^
@Willem dunno eventualy yes but with weapons alot of weapons wuhaha xD

@Wyv3rn, There are many custom ship/station models made by the Freespace modding community as well, I'm not directly requesting you use anything, I'm just pointing out that they exist and could possibly be used if you asked them nicely.

Any plans that, when (or if) Custom Sections are going to be added for a weapon that works like the Star Eater's so we can use it to blow up stars to be added to the Sathanas, you know: Given what they're capable of in Canon.

Thanks ^^

-satisfactory beep booping-
Been waiting for an updated FS-related mod for Stellaris for a long time. Excellent work!

@arrowsforu thanks

https://discord.gg/QFdueKEYrN < and here is the discord

https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php < the fourms

@arrowsforu sure but i wanted it commerical to the way only to pay the servers like with donations or something , i mean creating an full MMO , fan game or not needs alot of time biside my regular work , thats why i created own models for my game and buyed assets

but sure invite me pls :3

@wyv3rn Most of the models made by the Freespace Upgrade Project are unlicenced, but some have CC BY-NC 4, either way, it's mostly fine to use them for non-profit things like mods and stuff I would imagine, (as long as they don't infringe on volition's ownership of the original IP)

So, you could probably make a free fan game of some kind. but It's always better to ask first, I could invite you to the Freespace modding discord or fourms (hard-light-productions) if you want to talk to modders who are fans of freespace. (assuming you are not on one of those already)

@arrowsforu freespace was one of my first space games ever ^^ in the 90´s i played alot
Homeworld, X Beyond the Frontier , Freespace , Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Dominion Wars :3

i wanted to create a own mmo in Freespace style but doesnt find any Informations about the Licence of the models so i was afrait to start creating , if you want Arrow you can add me we can talk i am happy about any peeps where are so in love with space games and freespace :3 i am happy if i have more peeps i can play with ^^

I love this! It's great to see some love for freespace!

(hello from Defcynodont on HLP )

@-=EDF=- Kouta Seto "^^ thanks

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY AND THE ABO! Frelling THANK YOU!

@The DooMarine sounds legit i will take a look ^^ but i make the mod playable and working and have now a little bit other work and will extend the mod if i have more free time (i work as software engineer)

I think that's a legitimate approach to create custom ships to fill the gabe. The Freespace community has been very creative in the past. The Lucifer class should perhaps be used as a dreadnought. Trident Sentry maybe as defense platfrom. Belial as Colossus / ion canon?

Frigate
Cain

Destroyer
Lilith

Strike Cruiser
SC Rakshasa

Battle Cruiser
SC Moloch

Battleship
Ravana

Carrier
Custom Shivan Model / Demon

Dreadnought
SD Lucifer

Titan
SJ Satahanas

etc.

What do you think?

@The DooMarine thanks :3 i wont actually NSC support but if you read some comments you see we allready plan ^^ wich ship for wich NSC type be possible ,
and the more important question i ask the community : if its okay i create more custom ship Models based on Shivan Assets in reason Shivans haven´t enough Capitals to create NSC support ^^" yet

Great mod! Do you plan to integrate NSC support and/or Shivan species? Thanks for sharing the mod with the community!

Thanks ^^

Yes finally! FS2 being represented in Stellaris! Great work!

@johor i fixed the problem of the disappearing Stern section , Typo xD

Sry for the time delay of the fix i had much to work and will Make the Fix Today :3

@johor thanks for the information i will try fix it tomorrow :)

Always love a new shipset but when i have this enabled, the stern sections of Mammalian destroyers all disappear.
Thanks for your work & good luck tracking that down.

@Mista_Majik_Moshos i dont tested yet the color change , but i dont had in mind to support it, later on eventualy

By that I mean I'm gonna pair it up with this species when making a custom empire:

Voidborn Species by Seine Eloquenz, based on "The Pallid" by Krabiel

This perfectly fits the void corrupted species mod that's somewhere in the workshop. Do the red bits in the images change depending on faction colours?

@salemonz Thansk^^ i still work on the next update on it found 2 little bugs ^^"

ALWAYS love new shipsets And I LOVED Freespace! Thank you

@Willem right the Carrier...i must think what i do eventualy i create Custom Ships in Shivan Style like the Space Stations

Oh yeah: Forgot the NSC2 Carrier, though I suppose any Large Shivan ship would work if it carries a lot of fighters.
Also: No problem.
