• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

As some of you have already seen on A2files I'm starting up a new mod project and I'm inviting the entire Armada community to join me.


I'm folding the Battleship Mod I've already started (found here) into this new mod.

I suspect that there are a fair few modders like myself who have been kicking around an idea for a mod or new original race but just don't know what to do with it. This is your chance to finish it.

Its called "Your Battlefleet" because that is exactly what it is. This is your chance to build a race just the way you like it to a large Total conversion without some anyone else dictating to you how it should be done.

There are a few guidlines. The biggest being that this must be an original race, (no Federation, Klingons or Galactic Empire etc..) though you may take your influence from anywhere.


This is a Draft of the basic readme all contributers are asked to include
Thank you for downloading the Your Battlefleet Mod (or Your Battlefleet Race Addon)

Your Battlefleet is an attempt to engage the Armada Modding community in a unique way, by inviting and encouraging you, the Armada Community to create and submit your own original race as an addon.

Official "Your Battlefleet" Submission Rules.

1. This mod is open to all members of the Armada community regardless of talent. Do not be intimidated by others, this is YOUR FLEET.

2. All races must be an original creation.
This is not a Star Trek/Gate/Wars mod but an original universe. Your welcome to use any scifi universe (including the aforementioned) as inspiration though.

3. Your race cannot be the MAIN Earth Goverment (that's mine :p) Pirates and breakaway groups are acceptable.

4. Your race submission must be complete with AI, buildbuttons, wireframes and Admirals Log Pics. GUIs, and race specfic sounds are optional.

5. Try to make your ODF, SOD and TGA names as unique as possible to avoid conflict with other submissions

6. Your race must be compatiable with the latest version of A2 and must be bug free.

7. Balance is up to you. If you want a "god race" or a "push over race" its up to you. This is YOUR FLEET. The base line is the stock game (I'm considering the Feds to be on the weak side compared to my Earth Fleet).

8. Races should be submitted to A2 Files under the "Your Battlefleet" name using the "Your Battlefleet--Your Race Name" format.

9. This readme should be included with all submissions along with installation instructions.

This Mod will be based on A2files given it size and large member base, but the entire community is welcome.

Is there no open interest in this here? I've been getting at least some feedback on both AFC and A2files.

Lets show them what we can do.

Sadly I can't model (yet) or I'd jump at this, I think it's a GREAT idea, it can only lead to more mods (full fleets/races no less!) being released for A2, so in my books it's great.

Good luck with this Rod, and I hope you get a load more people joining in, we've already seen Ragnar start designing his new race, and I hope to see more soon :)

Well I don't have the time to finish my own projects so I won't be joining in this endeavour.

Also reason more feedback is on the other sites is that those sites have basically pushed MSFC out of the community due to recent community issues and with many members no longer supporting this site due to various reasons Syf and I are fousing more on original content.

Only way for the site to continue in the Armada community is for members to support MSFC by providing more A2 content (especially original content) at MSFC.

You can have my stuff if you really want it, not that I've released much.

However I need to find it all and send it here lol.
