What Are You Looking Most Forward to in Yesteryears?

[Majestic]

Well I am simply curious, we seem to have a fair sized fan base despite being a private mod for sometime and not showing material on any other site.

So we must be doing something right and I am going to ask the simple question:

What are you looking most forward to in Yesteryears?

If it's more than one thing then please tell us but I would like it if you could name/point out the one thing you are looking forward to the most.

Also if there is anything you think we could improve on or what you would like to see in the mod (if it is possible with the storm3D engine) then also feel free to jot it down.

I thought about adding a poll but there are simply too may options for a poll so we will have to do it the old fashion way.

Well for me, It's the appeal of playing in the TMP-era with new single player missions.

Well KA2 will be out soon with all that so you will no doubt get your cravings filled before we can release YY.

C. Terrans are no longer in the mod mate, check out the lastest post in the news thread.

Hard to say what I'm looking forward to the most; probably 'gonna have to say the fact that all races are built to the same degree - not some 'give the federation a hundred and the Klingon's two ships' philosophy.

That sort of thing really annoys me; it just seems a bit unfair.

 

[Knight]

Well, it was the Terrans lol... so i guess thats now what i'm looking forward to in YY2 now

for YY 1 however, i'm looking forward to:

1) Blowing up the Kzinti. repeatedly. I shall be conducting Kzinti genocide
2) the proper Klingon music - everything in YY looks cool so far, but you can't have Klingons without the right theme, and YY has it apparently

 

[SquireJames]

Well again, I don't want to try and draw to many "Parrallels" (badum-tish!) between KA2 and YY but, i've tried to keep the sides fair there too, although really I have 14 Degrees East to thank for that, as they came up with most of the ships. Storyline wise, KA2 and YY can *almost* work side by side, as KA2 catalogs what happens between STV and STVI, with a little TNG Apocrypha thrown in, and YY is more of a Lost-Era ish storyline set Post-Khithomer. In a weird twist, most of the ships that I have said were decomissioned with the Khithomer Accords (as part of the peace treaty) are absent from YY, so as I said, they *almost* work together

Hey, if you play Armada and Birth of the Federation, they are meant to be in the same era, even with the massive differences, but with a little imagination it isn't hard to fit them together. Even more so, look at games like Medal of Honour or Company of Heroes compared to Combat Mission, Blitzkrieg or Sudden Strike. Same war, very different viewpoints So theres no reason why KA2 and YY couldn't be seen as being set in almost the same "universe".

For me, I look forwards to seeing the Gorn done in a totally different way to KA2 or the SFC Series. I also can't wait to see what the secret side is, and whether its a race that should have been incredibly obvious to me.

 

[Dan1025]

Well there are a few things:

The Gorn, because as SJ said they're being done totally differently to the SFC version.

The Tholians, based on the pic I've seen of one of their ships, they're gonna be great.

Low poly ENT era Klingon ships.

Ship classes that serve an actual purpose, and not ones put in just cos they look good.

 

[Excelsiors190]

Wha

NO TERRANS i was looking forward to seeing the fedoration getting thier buts kicked by thier counter-parts why remove them any way


oh well the gorn will sooth my pain and sorrow that the terrans have dealt and the excelsior n akula class will aswell

 

[Aerilon]

Well, it was the Terran Empire. I'd have loved to see how they were going to be incorperated into the storyline. However, now that they're (temporarily) out, I'd have to say the Knziti, and Tholian.

The Knziti have never been done before, and the Tholians will be a nice addition. I know they've been done before (once) but I'd imagine YY would do them in a different light (better). So yeah, the Tholians and Knziti.

 

[SquireJames]

Other than KA2, what mod have the Tholians been in (is eager to download it...)?

Check the news thead, its all there (as always) and I see no need to have to repeat myself.

A guy (Slider I think) released a full 24th century Tholian race on A2Files.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

I look forward to some heated Klingon-Federation battles with involvement of the Beta Quadrants minor powers (Gorn etc).

K'T'Inga vs Consititution, thats what I look forward to

 

[Majestic]

K'T'Inga vs Consititution, thats what I look forward to

You'll get plenty of that in multiplayer.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Just a whole new game. Everything about it is just so wonderful.

 

[SquireJames]

Ah yes, some of the Tholian stations in KA2 are from Sliders Mod, with permission naturally.

Forgot about that one

 

[Majestic]

Yeah I got permission to use his web weapon in YY.

 

[Muad'Dib]

That's a whopper of a question Majestic. What's not to look forward to? Hehe.

I love the fact that it's TMP, that in and of itself is enough for me to want to play it. Plus the good old days of Trek villains: Klingons and Romulans; no uber powered Borg or crack addicted Dominion iguanas. Just good old fashioned warbirds and D-7s duking it out with the best captain of all Treks.

On top of this mirror universe counterparts with awesome custome paint jobs and weapons. That's the sweetner right there.

SP missions, hidden surprises, the Gorn, again what's not to love here?

The Terrans are no longer in Yesteryears.

Not trying to tell you how to make your mod, but maybe you could gain something if I sent you my Web Cannon. Starfox made it and it works wonderfully, much better than the one in Sliders mod (which was essentially the same as the one I had in KATC)

 

[Muad'Dib]

Oops I missed that announcement Majestic. The animated series cats? Oh well, it's a shame the Terrans are no longer ingame but such is life.

Anything that can help the mod would be appreicated.

Theres always YY2, currently we are drafting species for that mod and have three confirmed races so far, one being the Terrans the stars of the sequel mod.

 

[Steven Kodaly]

What am I looking forward to most? The mod as a whole - it's basically an excuse to play an old game like new again!

Same. IMHO, there is a lack of good mods out there and YY seems to be shaping up to be one of the good ones.
