I'd like to introduce a new mod I'm starting that will bring the original Star Wars Fleet Command mod for stock A2 over to Fleet Ops just like I did for the Upgrade Project 2014.
Some people prefer to mod FO directly, but I'm not ready yet so this will be a stock A2 mod playable in FO. I have every intention of releasing this as a public mod here at MSFC exclusively if I can get it to a state that I want.
I'm unsure if it'll be a stand alone mod like the UP 2014 project (I don't actually recall the exact edits I made to get my other mod stand alone,) but for now it uses UP 2014 as a parent mod so 70% of the work is already complete. I already have it playable in FO and have been testing it out and forgot how much fun it was. The graphics definitely show their age, but it's got a nice solid foundation to work from. Major A Payne has given his go ahead for the original mod permissions so I look forward to completing this within the next few months.....hopefully.
Thanks to Majestic and his work about 85% of the ship models are done as well. I do need a few more models to be able to complete this and yes that's my problem and no one else's, but if you'd like to donate your time and skills for an odd ship/station at least I would be very grateful.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the game play exactly the same though? I may keep everything in the episode 4-6 and beyond timeline like it was originally made, but I may have the game start in the Clone Wars era and then advance up to the more modern ships? We'll see.
To Do:
Update AI with UP 2014 stuff
Redo build lists
Add more research items?
Look at altering weapon ranges/fire rates
Swap out hardpoint/weapon stuff from Majestic's ships to original odf's
Balancing redo?
Ships/Stations:
Satisfied with Imperial shipyards/research stations and most Rebel shipyards. Maybe update textures?
Some Rebel stations not so sure?
Mining stations/trade stations?
Need better looking miners/constructors/colony ships/freighters
Missing ships so far:
Nebulon-B
Nebulon-B 2
Large Mon Calamari Ships (mc40, mc80, homeone)
Millennium Falcon
Assault Gunboat
Missile Boat
T-wing
Strike Cruiser
Assault Cruiser
Carrack Cruiser
Dreadnought
Lancer Cruiser
Assault Frigate
Various turrets?
