MOD: Star Trek Enhanced Space Combat

[Darkone]

Hey all the Nexus lovers.

Here is a great mod by firewarrior1705 for Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. It will be an ongoing project and there has already been significant work done to the mod already. From the ship models to the music soundtrack, it just sets you up for playing hours in the Star Trek universe.

You can download the mod from SpaceSimCentral here: Star Trek Enhanced Space Combat v1.2
or download from MODDB here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-trek-enh ... /downloads

Here is the mod notes from MODDB:

This mod is a total conversion based upon the Star Trek universe for the tactical fleet simulator game Nexus - The Jupiter Incident. There are 10 playable races(Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Borg, Cardassians, Dominion, Breen, Species 8472, Sona and Ferengi) each with their own ships and weapons. This is a long term project.

Current Version: 1.2

Up to version 1.3 now:

Change log:

- new balance system. Ships now have weaker hulls but much stronger shields. The hull is now 10% of
the total shield value

- reduced beam and pulse weapons hull damage by 50%

- increased torpedo reload time from 2 to 5 seconds

- fixed a bug that could make ships with cloaking devices controlled by the AI to cloak and not engage the enemy

- fixed a bug that made your ship's subsystems invulnerable to enemy fire

- better power management system(cloaking devices no longer drain that much power)

- more cannon physics for all ships

- added a new background music for choosing when making missions

- added 5 new missions

I have yet to try v1.4 of this mod. I have only played around with 1.0 so eventually I will get around to loading this one up.

Yes very nice mod , but I only have one niggle with it. Star Trek ships are supposed to rely on their warp engines for manoeuvring and not thrusters. I think they should up the manoeuvrability of the ships. Just a minor niggle though!

Another mod (to my mind at least) more in keeping with the Nexus engine is Babylon 5: Conflicts Of Loyalty 2. This mod has recently begin creation after the original Conflicts Of Loyalty mod fizzled out. Here is a teaser vid of the original mod to see what might have been
And for more info on version 2, have a look here on Mod DB, http://www.moddb.com/mods/babylon-5-con ... -loyalty-2
