==UNIT INFORMATION==
Pending.
whoa... that looks like a official CGI image you did
That's because it IS an official CGI image.
Would be nice if Sins looked like that though.
Damn straight, hell I'd kill to pay for a game that was made like that and ran smoothly
What're you doing with the original models and textures? Any plans to release them once you release Last Stand?
doubtful he will do that, if I were him I wouldn't release the models
If the models themselves were never released to the public community then they are still considered private property I'm sure. Besides, we're getting nice shiny new models!!!
The reason why I say he probably will not or ever release the models is because they are from his own library of models for his project, no doubt the story behind it and everything he's worked for is kind of original.
I would be in the same position but I have already released some of my models for use to Zombierus in his mod, though I doubt I'll ever let anyone else use them because of that because they are from my own little universe of a book I am writing.
OH NO, your mod will be annihilated with rebellion's release.
what do you mean?
It's just more content that is around when this mod gets released. No problem there!
No, Rebellion will be annihilated with my mods release.
As well as Loyalists. Xin don't care who is who.
Personally I am excited to hear about the new expansion, because it will bring the rest of the Sins races to the level of Xin (only more pathetic, of course). One of my biggest concerns was that vanilla races lacked specialized Assault Capitals and Titans that the Xin will have, which threatened to unbalance gameplay in favour of Xin and complicate stuff for me development-wise.
With Rebellion's release I won't have to worry about that.
I was most excited to learn of new ship classes (corvettes and Titans) because of your mod and some others. It will make it MUCH easier to implement these ships into the game with Rebellion and have them alot more AI Capable (assuming, of course, the AI will EVER build Titans) so that single-player isn't ruled out for a decent mod experience.
I'm looking forward to your Titan-class ships, ManSh00ter, and your models look AMAZING. Good luck with the continued remodeling and optimization, i'm glad you didn't give up when you seemed to hit a wall with memory usage so far back.
Here's to you for the good work.
ManSh00ter ... have you been talking to the developers again?
I meant that any gameinfo work that he had been doing will need to be redone.
Gameinfo is easy. Its just XML shufflework. Modelling and texturing is most time consuming and the new expansion won't affect what's already done since they're not exactly rolling out a whole new engine.
New screens, Overlord class Carrier:
ManSh00ter, you have persuaded me to make the Overlord carrier the first capital I will build in every game I play as the Xin.
I haven't eaten or slept since this mod was announced. My strength is waning Manshooter, please, release it.. and save me, I'm not sure if I can reply again, I have barely enough strength to type this one, please, Manshooter, only you can save me now.
On a serious note take your time with the mod, it's shaping up to be a master piece, you have some serious talent, everytime you release some new screens I find myself with an erection that lasts around 2 weeks, give or take a few days.
Finally, I don't want to ask this, because it's done when it's done, but my desire to play this is greater than my ability to sit tight, so could I ask, how far are you with the mod currently? Completion wise? I know it's done when it's done and I expect nothing less, but it's so tantilising I have to ask. D:
Keep at it Manshooter, you're doing an excellent job.
haha haezen, that was possibly one of the funniest posts i've ever read.
The poor guy asked a tough question ... I hope he can be ressurected.
wow, omg the ships are so beautifull! good luck on the mod!
haeZen, competion wise, the mod is coming along nicely and I assure you it will be released when it's done. More screens, this time its the Sovereign-class planet buster. Spits out living missile drones, larger warrior drones,hot beams of plasma death and an occasional gob of superheated, yes, plasma. Xin love plasma!
This seems fitting:

The Xin love plasma because DELICIOUS PLASMA IS DELICIOUS
Is expecting a big surprise today
SURPRISE!
Was that big enough?
