Twilight ModForum LinkThe overall concept for this mod does not follow any 'theme' or TC but is designed from an alternate idea for SOTS would be. It is based loosely on game lore, SOTS2 lore and Okim's great ACM mod. It is a grand campaign style mod which touches just about everything moddable in sots. It tries to keep the overall concept in connection with the original race characteristics while focusing more on 'realistic', diverse and drawn out gameplay.

Mod features:

  • Redesigned gameplay

- Strategic: Based off original sots but suited to a more grand campaign style, longer research times, MANY more techs,weapons and more unique stuff for each race.- Tactical: With all the new additions balanced to a more RTS style combat. I also tried to make the battles more complex and cover more of the game arena.

  • New sections

- Over 100 new models per race, some based off existing mods or corrected originals, not including 100's of weapon and turret models.- New ship classes like Frigates and Corvettes (based of Raptors idea) and Leviathan.

  • New textures

Bomber guy from simpsons cast. - All new, hi res racial and NPC textures.

  • New effects

- 1000's of new effects made from scratch, sometimes based on original or other mod concepts.- 3D explosions!- Race specific effects like explosions, weapons and trails.- Using some custom written shaders for brand new, shiney visuals.

  • New sounds

- A large project on its own, using sounds from my favourite Sci-Fi movies as well as other games with a few originals thrown in.- Replace some of the more annoying standard ones (emitters spring to mind).

  • Redesigned weapons

- 100's of weapons from different, all new weapon families.- Each race has their own specialities and versions of shared weapon concepts.- Weapons have greater flexibility regarding mounts and ship sections more specialized with the mounts they have.- Each weapon has a new, hi res icon.

  • Rebuilt tech forest

- 22 tech trees.- Rooted on the ACM style design.- New engine eras.- New drive techs.- Specialized weapon trees.- Includes my new Ghost Tree concept which shows a smaller, black and white schematic of all the techs in the design screen.

  • New race-specific ship sections, weapons and techs

- Rooted in sots lore and race personalities.

  • Redesigned menaces

- Less mobile but more challenging and rewarding.- Unique weapons.

  • Customized AI

- Strategic designed to take full advantage of new techs and research.- Tactical improved within the limits of what is moddable.

Lost Souls (Phoenix) modForum LinkThis MOD modifies the human faction:
  • all sections get new models, plus, new sections
  • new weapons, balance tweaks to some existing weapons
  • new names, badges and avatars
  • new music

Their regular ships are above average in every segment, but not the best at anything and are more expensive. The Battleship mission sections are no way comparable to their normal sections — they are harbringers of doom — but their size, production cost and command point requirements make them difficult to field in greater numbers.

The Phoenix faction uses a modified node drive — compared to stock human drives it has greater range, but is also slower. The upside is that they can reach decent STL speeds and their base node speed gets better with upgrades.

The Phoenix have distinct pros and cons and unique tech and sections.
CONS:

  • Low Industry
  • High ship costs
  • High ship mantainance
  • less CP per CNC


PROS:

  • Excellent ships
  • specialized sections and weapons
  • great tech choices.

Mine PlatformsForum linkThis mod adds mine platforms for all races. Mine platforms are minelaying defense platforms, available with Torpedo Defense Platforms and any mine tech. The purpose of the mine platforms is to provide a little (okay, a lot) of extra close–in firepower against any enemy that decides to simply rush straight up to the planet to glass it. No modifications have been made to any mines, so they are still vulnerable to decent PD coverage. As well, I have found that the mines will not deploy if the player autoresolves the battle.Completed, download link offlinebmac4417
Covenant's ModsForum linkThis mod dramatically redoes the combat effects and graphics of the game, providing completely new visuals and feels to the entire laser, ballistics, torpedo, energy cannon, heavy laser, emitter, particle beam tree, adding entirely new tech concepts, rebalancing other areas as well in the process and changing a great number of in–game images to match with the new effects. Also, smaller mods are becoming available so that the improved graphics can be downloaded without the changes to the weapon values themselves. This also links to all collaborative work of Covenant's, the one responsible for the work in the Covenant mod. Such work includes a music replacement mod by Nephtys.Completed, download link offlineCovenant, and others as stated on the page.

Pious Flea's silly modForum LinkFeature list: GENERAL (for more see forum)
  • All research costs, especially weapons research costs, are greatly decreased. You can get full tech in a 40–stars game now.
  • In general, weapons are more specialized. Anti–ship weapons are stronger against ships and weaker against planets, anti–planet weapons are stronger against planets.
  • In general, ships and planets die a lot faster.. planetary sieges should not be long and drawn out as often as before.

RaptorMod V2Forum LinkHuman, Weapons and Tech mod. The game is more focused on the lower techs.

Torpedo's are now missiles. Except the 'antimatter' one. That's now the original plasma torpedo, and it hurts..Lasers are now beams, which means that for the time being the Reflective Armour upgrades have had to be removed.Some of the exotic techs (absorbers, Meason Shields etc) have been removed, and all research is a lot longer now. Teching up is now much slower than before. This is to encourage longer games.Humans, to counter the upgrades they have received, have had costs increased on the effected sections, and have lower chances of getting the higher level energy weapons.
