Macross Wars Universe is a mod for Distant Worlds: Universe which is "roughly based" on the Macross series but with my own "custom" flavor... it is still very experimental at this stage. It currently features 5 new factions, the UN Spacy, Zentraedi, Meltrandi, the Vajra/SMS (combined forces) and now the REF (Robotech Shadow Chronicles Expeditionary Force). It will also feature the beloved characters from the series. The first 3 races are based around the Macross original/DYRL timeline, while the Vajra/SMS are based upon post-Frontier timeline. So you'll see SDF-1 with UN Spacy while the Macross Quarter is with the Vajra/SMS and so on... I do have plans to add more races/factions from the Macross Universe eventually, but only when I feel like the existing ones are fleshed/polished out abit. I am also thinking about ''what if'' factions/scenarios as well. Hopefully these will be some fun surprises. :D All the vanilla races are still included for this release. ::Future Plans:: +Implement new DW:Universe modding features. (like government types etc) +Further update with new ships or edits to make them look better. +Further edit stats to suit everything. +Add more Macross sounds and more graphic/weapons effects. -Further remove placeholder ships while adding new ones to fit. ::Changelog:: v.0.3.full: The show goes on and more fixes, new race/faction, more art +New race/faction: REF: Robotech Expeditonary Force (Shadow Chronicles)similar stats as UNSpacy for now, some new characters, some basic shipset/bases...more to flesh over upcoming patches. +Adding missing blinking lights to Vajra Explorer ship. +Added Das' Blue Chrome UI (cursors, some icons and some flagset). +Added Custom Pirate race images. Balanced, smuggler etc. +Added New Government Matriarchy for Meltrandi only. Rough stats but they are slow at reproducing but made up with other stats. Probably needs tweak. +Removed Way of Ancients government from UN Spacy's start game. Wasn't intended to have it. +Sound fix: Heavy_Railgun sfx duration too long... shortened to 1 second. +Added 3 new characters for Vajra race. +New Ranka image for race leader. +New genericbase for Vajra. Old one becomes trooptransport. +New smallspaceport sprite for Meltrandi +New mediumspaceport sprite for Zentraedi, old one now is genericbase sprite. +New Meltrandi and Zentraedi race images. Adjusted the others. +cleaned up Vajra mediumspaceport edges. +New Meltrandi Queadluun-Rau sprites replaces older ones for fighter and bombers. +New refuel icon (didn't like Das' 'water drop version) +New diplomacy message pictures. Color coded some vanilla ones. Green for tick, red for X etc. +New explosions by Jon Micheelsen +Changed up UNS shipset abit. New passenger and explorer. Reused old carrier as the new resupply. Switched Medium and large spaceports. +Some New UI buttons edited for Das' and some new creations. +Added music tracks +Added some Tyrador ships and bases to REF as placeholder. +Updated some files to match v.1.9.5.5 patch v.0.2 patch +Added some crude character job icons for now. :) +cleaned up Vajra Escort and Contructionship outline. Escort looks cleaner and slimmer now. Also changed quite abit of ships around, added a couple new ones like ARMD-R carrier, NUNS Stealth Destroyer. Old unused stuff moved to ALT folder. +Moved Vajra faction's Guamtamano Carrier, and Northampton frigate over to UNS faction to replace the older designs I used up to now. +enhanced/enlarged thrusters on Vajra (SMS) Frigate, Gasmining/Miningships. +SMS mediumspaceport is now SMS largespaceport, new medium vajra spaceport added. +Color coded some Vajra faction ships/bases, i.e; largespaceport now looks more uniform. +Added blinking lights to all faction's ships/bases. +Added some new Metrandi ship sprites as I felt they had the most lackluster shipset. Its starting to come together. v.0.1.alpha +Ported over to Distant Worlds Universe. +New experimental race... the "Vajra"/SMS (basically a Macross Frontier inspired combined faction). +New shipsets across all races, some changes, some polishing/fixes. These are ongoing. +New characters/agents, new portraits for all races. +Slight changes to some race stats. These are also ongoing. Everything is probably way out of balance still. I need suggestions with these as I'm terrible with numbers! :D +Added some music to suit the epic gameplay. +Probably a few other things I forgot. ::Latest Download links & extra info:: Current Version v.0.3 Alpha Download at all releases at: http://www.moddb.com/mods/macross-wars ::Installation:: Install to your DW customization folder, start the game and hit change theme and pick "Macross Wars Universe". ::Credits:: kalthaniell's ships and a few others I forget. He pretty much inspired me to make this mod. :) If you wish for written credit for something let me know. ::Other Downloads:: nil ::Latest Screenshots:: The Vajra/SMS combined fleet attacking the Zentraedi homeworld. (v.0.1.alpha) ::Help me:: I am always looking for help with this mod, so if you think you can contribute anything please don't hesitate to let me know!
