We have some of the 'BADDEST' Forum members in the entire Universe!

No shit! Isaac Clarke and G'Kar doing a mod together!

[tjhkkr]

Umm. Yeah. [:D][:D][:D]

[Kalthaniell]

20 different clans of humans or cyborgs? Challenging but fun. Can I have a go at race pics and troops for starters? I could make some samples and we would see if you're ok with the style and quality and than take it from there?

[Data]

Don't let him get a head start, he'll be over before we give an F5 [:)]

[WoodMan]

Sure thing Kal, what style you going for?  Will you be drawing from scratch or adapting pictures? 

I think we should go 4 races at a time, not sure what 4 we should make first, but Terran must surely be in the first set, just need to decide on the others [;)]

For Terran, check out pictures of Alliance officers/soldiers from Firefly and the same from Starship Troopers, similar styles and is what I originally had in mind for their kind of look [:)]

[Igard]

I was thinking adaptation with a total overhaul in order to make all pictures seem to "come from one box". I could make them from scratch but it would take much more time and wouldn't look awesome enough I think I know what you have in mind regarding the terran outlook.
I'll start working than xD

This is exactly what I would do, the "come from one box" is something I'm really fussy about [:D]

It seems we think alike [:)]

[tjhkkr]

I think you two have a real team then...

[Haree78]

Woodman, if you are interested I have already begun the Legends based race file for this.
Are the races going to be the ones you listed and showed pictures for or are there changes since then?
Do you want me to begin giving them stats based on only what you have written in the other thread or do you want more input.
Also relating to relationships do you want certain animosities or friendships between the races?  Have you given it any thought?
 
I need names for:
Home Planet
Their troops
 
This can only be one way I'm afraid, I cannot show you the file or the new features that will be included for now.

[Data]

Teaseeeeeeeeer *drooling* [:)]

[WoodMan]

The only race I'm not too keen on after re-reading my original thread after a year or so are the Cloner faction [:D]  A whole faction made up of clones of one guy sounds a bit dumb now.  However, I think they could be something similar, a Bio-Medi type corporation that has built up its own army of cloned super soldiers, would need a new name for the faction though.

Do you want me to begin giving them stats based on only what you have written in the other thread or do you want more input.

You can certainly make a start.  I was hoping we could get some big differences between races giving some rather prominant strengths or weaknesses.  I would like to make them in tiers too, some being akin to the normal DW races quite easy to play and dominate with, others having some very major strength but also some weakness to make them more interesting to play and some being "lesser" factions at a disadvantage.

This is why I suggest doing 4 races at a time (or 5) so we can concentrate on balancing them and also getting graphics done for them [:)]

Also relating to relationships do you want certain animosities or friendships between the races?  Have you given it any thought?

Definately need some thought on this, as the entire galaxy used to be a single Empire that has broken up there will be big scores to settle.  Also some races like the Revenant and Mechan are "programmed" either psychologically or mechanically to "kill all humans" as Bender would say [:D]

I need names for:
Home Planet
Their troops

Yes we need to think of these.  I haven't thought about it much, but the planet from which all humans in Andromeda came from is Terra Prime, this is where the seeding ship from Earth landed thousands of years ago.  However, it can't be the name of the Terran home planet, because it was conquered by the Mechan and is now their home planet.  Only other one I know is the Blackwing homeplanet is called Agria, it is the main agricultural centre of the galaxy [:)]

[Kalthaniell]

I had some free time today so I made some pics for the first two races (Junkers and Terrans):





There is a lot of different versions of the pics and some troops proposals for each race. Let me know if that's what you had in mind. Here's the link:

The backgrounds are some random pictures from google search. I do not claim the ownership of the original art used nor it's awesomeness xD

[WoodMan]

Holy cow, complete and utter awesomeness going on here Kal!

Checking out the file now [8D]

[Kalthaniell]

I wasn't entirely sure what each individual race/clan main character trait was supposed to be. I chose this guy for terran because of his "talk-all-you-want-we-will-nuke-you-anyway" face :] It's sth the alliance officers from firefly all had as I remember.
I was thinking about doing the cyborgs race next though I don't know how much of them is organic and how much is electronic? Are they like the Borg?

[Haree78]

Oh my...!
 
This looks like it might turn in to something special.  Great work Kal.

[Data]

It's to be expected from him [:)]

[WoodMan]

By the way, the girl looks like Dannii Minogue! [8D]

Had a look through the file.  The Terran guy is perfect as are the soldiers.  Any of the soldiers would fit though I prefer 1 and 3 as they have a little more colour variation.

The Junker pic is fantastic too, but it doesn't suit the Junkers.  She is way too clean/sophisticated looking for the Junkers. 

For the Junkers I would advise probably using a black dude, though it doesn't have to be.  Dreadlocks, goggles, an american WW2 helmet and a massive bifta are optional but would be cool.  For clothes look up Road Warrior, particularly the actor called Vernon Wells and the type of outfits and styling used for the bad guys in Waterworld.

I think the girl would be much better suited for the Datajacks faction (the soldiers too).

[WoodMan]

I was thinking about doing the cyborgs race next though I don't know how much of them is organic and how much is electronic? Are they like the Borg?

The Cynet are supposed to be a good guy race (well there are no good guys/bad guys as such, but not evil machines) as opposed to the usual evil Cyborgs in sci-fi.  Therefore they should not be ugly like the borg as it doesn't really suit a good guy.  As for Human-Machine I'm not sure, they should look enhanced cybernetically, not assimilated, I guess the Deus Ex main character would be a great example of this.
