Star Wars vs. Star Trek game mods

I recall that there was once a site called Apocent with SWvST mods for Homeworld and TA. Alas, I don't think it exists any more.

Does anyone know of any mods for any other games, like Space Empires?

Really? Damn, how come I didn't know of this. I love the Star Wars mod for Homeworld.

Perhaps you mean this one? I agree, it's great. They also host a SW v ST mod, Star Wars Invasion, which has been the latest work of the site. It's a bit unbalanced (at V. 0.3) but very stable. It's a meld of SoA and the SW mod that's hosted there. I must say the visuals are very good, though.

Starfleet Command 3, I made one.
http://starfleetcommand3.filefront.com/ ... _mod;30126
Never did finish the second version, greatly expanded...but that version there is good.

And I don't know how it works with the latest patches.

The was a SWvST mod for TA? I mean, I know there was a Star Wars mod, but both?

There's a number of Wars ships for Bridge Commander, and they're easy to modify if you feel the balance's off. Observe : NX-01 frying an ISD

...I would say 'unbalanced' is putting it mildly...

Though the scale actually appears to be correct for once.

I just removed the last three zeroes for every one of the ISD's stats - shields, weapons, sensor range. It's about as dangerous as a declawed kitten.

The standard hardpoint for the ISD (here) can chew through anything short of...well, another ISD with a single broadside.

Sounds rather tame. A single full-power medium TL, let alone a broadside from an ISD could probably do bad, bad things to most Starfleet ships.

Yep, shame the A2 mod didn't get off the ground

I found that the best fun comes from tweaking the stats...to make things more...'realistic'

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2005-11-27 09:20pm

Actually, extremely balanced. Just unrealistic.

See, balanced means that a mid-level imperial ship can take a mid-level federation ship.

Realistic means that a mid-level imperial ship can wipe out half the Federation fleet

Only half?

Not enough guns to hit them all at once. Takes two salvos to take out the whole thing

The first time I tried the ISD in Quickbattle, I went up against it (with the standard hardpoint) in the Prometheus.

* Battle starts, both ships are sitting in orbit around a planet roughly 50 kilometres apart
* Bright flash of light, Brex reports "There are hullbre..."
* Single charred nacelle floats away

Not much fun, innit ?

nope. That's problem with realistic sw vs. st it's not fun to play/watch/read.
