I've started work on inlcuding the ships from Star Blazers into Galactic Civilizations. I've got a few ships modeled but as I'm a newbie modeler I'm having a lot of difficulty getting them in game. I'm waiting on a few official tutorials to sort that out.
Initial goals will be to include the Human ships from the series including:
The Yamato
Andromeda I and II
Borodino
Hood
Konigsberg
Airone
Gearing
Mogami
Lightning
Oceana (Freighter)
as well as the fighters and troop transports depicted in the series.
Initially, only the hulls and bridge sections will be included. Once finished however, alternate forms of weaponry, armor, and ship sensors will be made available so that players may replicate the actual look of the ships.
After this is finished the real work starts including a new tech tree, new weapon stats (including the Nova Cannon), and the inclusion of the other major races of the Star Blazers universe ultimatly resulting (hopefully) in a total conversion.
So far this is a one man project so it'll be slow going. But if anyone would like to help in the area of modeling or especially texturing, I'd love to hear from you.
