Now this is called "Stargate fetish" for me. I know this sounds a bit too exaggerated, but I love stargate a lot!
"Small" question/questions, do you plan to make the replicators have some special boarding technology? In SG1, they were boarding ships so easy, and also enhancing that ship's technology.
Also, since replicators are immune to energy weapons, do you plan to give their troops some "huge" attack and defense bonus, since they were able to invade planets....without any problems? They seem like a difficult faction.
When I tried to make a stargate mod (for my own use), I gave the replicators a technology that would make them improve meridian shields strength with 1000, and the maximum meridian shield strength is 320 after lvl 7 research (in vanilla game). How do you plan to approach their development? I am asking because I am extremely interested in the development of this mod.

Originally I have 15 Goa'uld System Lords you could choose to play with another 10 to add.
With the original 15 I have 4 to complete adding to the mod.
My aim is to have all races in the mod along with the 15 Goa'uld and test before I add in the other 10. I don't necessarily want the Goa'uld to be too dominant in this game in numbers.

Thanks for the questions.
I have a release date before the 31st... which gives me up to 4 or 5 days to finish the mod.
There is not enough time to complete everything planned for the mod so I will be releasing a "test-alpha" version of the mod in the next 4 or 5 days which everyone can test.
I will be concentrating on the Wraith and the Replicators tomorrow to work out what I am doing with them. Changes to research and component items will be in the first update that comes out.

My initial ideas are that the Replicators are going to be hard to fight as they are in SG1 .... and I just have to work out exactly how I deal with them in the mod.

Play as the Replicators
The Replicators are now playable in the mod and I am currently working on their ships and have already assigned individual designations to each Replicator.

Waiting for upload to complete...............
While waiting for this to finish I am testing the mod. Any bugs will be fixed quickly and a small patch file will be released.
One thing I love above Stargate is the music and what I am listening to at the moment in the mod makes me want to watch all 10 Seasons of SG1 all over again.

Started a new game as Goa'uld System Lord Nirrti in a prewarp era and one of the first things I noticed was a wrecked Wraith Cruiser not far from my homeworld.....
Oh I hope the Wraith are not anywhere near me.....
Mod upload still has 45 minutes to go....... hold on to your Stargates......[:D]

I will try uploading the mod again for the 3rd time as prior uploads dropped out before finishing.
I also made some tweaks to the Replicators though there will be more changes to them in a future patch.
I also adjusted the design templates for all 34 races to increase the size of larger ships.
Looks better now but more adjustments may be needed in a patch during the week.
Finally.... you may have noticed I changed the official name of the mod to "Stargate - Eye of Apophis". This was because I noticed 8 days ago someone came on the forum stating they were doing a Stargate mod.... possibly called Stargate.
So I changed my mod name in case his mod was released in the future.

Okay, I started out as replicators, I know the mod is incomplete, and I know you are aware of some things but here are some suggestions :
-all races shipsets really need to be reworked (there is a Tau'ri ship set on the forums for download, which will help you get rid of the problem of creating a ship set for humans)
-all races characteristics should be worked on, for example, Tau'ri should be humanoid and not ursidian, Replicators should be machines and not humanoid, etc...
-Research should be reworked from the scratch.
This mod really has potential. If you want, maybe I can help with the Goa'uld ship set, I will send it to you and if you like it, you can keep it. Maybe it will help you develop the mod faster, since many races are "Goa'uld".
Also, it may be wise to work on "perfecting" the current races instead of trying to add more, for now...it may be easier for you.

15 minutes before I uploaded this early version of the mod I discovered I had lost the Replicator ships I had created....so for the very short term the Replicators are using Goa'uld ships.
Yes a lot needs to be done still such as fixing the races, doing the biases between each race, photoshopping the new ships....... and so on.
Please look at this as being an early version of the mod which has much more work to be done over the next weeks.
