Mini-me.

Could post the video that would have made it funnier.

Why not have Soner Kahl'd as one of the in game names, give it it's own selection in the files so it always only picks that name(or 4-8 variations for multi-vasari purposes) and have the Hellion be it's classification?

EX:

Soner Kahl'd

Hellion class Homeship

Description: SivCorps doom craft to oversee his conquest of the cosmos(evil arm chair comes with built in massage function, hot and cold drink holder and exclusive controls over ship's super weapons)

I think that was the idea, BadTune. We're just running through the various possibilities for class names.

I also fully support installation of the Evil Arm Chair (tm).

Apple Juice on me!

 

Okay, so you could go Subjugation Class or Subjugator Class. Suppressor Class, Conqueror Class are other okay ideas. Monolith isn't bad, but you could up it to Megalith Class or Colossus Class, the first being my preference. I briefly thought of Vindicator Class, but that would be better for the Advent flagship.

Agreed, I might just change the Advent flagship name.

Ooooooh, Megalith is good. Colossus would give me too many Freespace vibes, but I like Megalith. Conquerer is also a REALLY good one, simply because the imagery it inspires would work well with both that ship and Vasari dogma as a whole.

 

And Vindicator for the Advent is perfect, I wholeheartedly support a name change.

I like Megalith.  Sounds good, so long as the Soner Kahl'd can be the default Ship name.

 

Oh, and the mesh is DONE, and the Textures are DONE!

 

I just need to test it now and make sure it will go into the game with no problem.

 

 

 

Stats:

Faces: 7501

Verts: 3956

Texture maps used: 4

 

I'll hopefully release some in game shots of it soon.

Excellent. Can't wait to see it Siv. Looks like we may have a winner for names too.

Isn't there a Megalith in SupCom? Man that was a badass unit...

(cue Carbon-rant about SupCom's race to the experimentals )

I don't remember. Thinking maybe so, but that it was SupCom2. I always played with Experimentals and longest range artillery disabled.

Nah I remember it was in FA. And then it came back in SC2, but it sucked, like most of the returning units.

Yeah. Okay, it was an FA unit. I've got FA, but for some reason my comp isn't agreeing with it right now. No matter, gotta wipe it all and get Win 7 running.

Now, back to the mod, where returning units ROCK!

Units don't return in this mod, as it isn't a sequel. Foolish fool

Megalith as a class name I really really like. The big question however is whether or not it fits with the Vasarri class name schemes?

 

At first Monoliths almost sounded like an Advent class name since they are focused more on culture etc ... ... ...

 

How about:

 

Obelisk

Mausoleum

Vanquisher

Pugilist

Peacemaker

Dessicator

Transcendant (possibly Advent Class)

Discourager

Mourner

Ostracizor

Abstractor

Dejector

Expunger

Terminator ( lol )


Extinguisher

Violator

Annihilator

Devourer

Mutilator

Desecrator

 

Just some thoughts ...

Personally, I think Megalith is more than okay considering what this thing is, even if it does lack the aggressive and despotic themes associated with other Vasari vessel names. 

Besides, the only way this thing could be called Devourer is if the Wave Motion Gun/nanite thing was swapped out for an advanced version of the Egg's "I eat planets" attack. And if that were to occur, I would insist on Unicron as a name.

 

Terminator, ironic as it is, would actually make sense though.

Random Google searches got me into plants(it started with proving to someone Tomato is classified a s a fruit) and I ended up at the Nightshade areas(makes ya think twice about eating a tomato being closely related to Belladonna and Mandrake lol) anyway, found some interesting fun facts and honestly none fit with vasari but I thought Advent and Tec could use some of these profoundly deep rooted names. Found out the genus for belladonna is Atropa, named for Atropos of The Three Fates. She's the one that snipped the treads. again, deep name but not Vasari, maybe advent

Not for a Class, but rather an individual ship's name, Janus too would fit. Roman god with two faces: one looking to the past and one to the future. Very much the duality of Advent existence.

Wondering if its possible that this Mod will run if I delete the Dwaft and Moon planets? Thinking that deleting the ENTITY files will do the trick. Any thoughts?

Nope, you would also have to clean up the GalaxyDefinitionScenario file.

Also the manifest files.  The galaxyscenariodef file is really the only one you need to screw with.  Just delete all of the references to dwarf and moons reducing the counts of those sections accordingly.  This is no small task.  It's easy to do, but it's very time consuming and if you mess up the count, then you screw up the game.  Everything else, entities and meshes can be left alone and you won't have to mess with the manifest files either.

OK one more dumb question. Is this file located in the Mod Folder or the Regular game itself?
