8 races!? I take it 4 of them are unplayable?

Awesome! We just need permission from the dude that made it. Could you throw in an eat animation, if it's not too hard? Like the rancor? EDIT: I'm messaging Aernoud now...

Really!? I thought google models were just for that editor. We'll need the creators permission, of course. Thanks for converting it! BTW, since it's Meta Ridley, could you have a space unit model too?

I know that. The problem is, I don't have a custom model for him. It's also hard to find 3D models for you to convert. I haven't really looked up Ridley specifically, though... If you can convert Google models to 3D max models, here's one- http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cb170c93f1e20b71fdddc29bb3e72366' I'll look for more. My internet hates me....

Uh...I thought they looked quite a lot different... I'm actually using the MP2 commandoes.

Yes, my original Commando model is a Mustafarian. I think I'll have to use one for my commander, too.

Yes, with the new Alamo importer. But I don't think they're that important. I'm just having the knights anyways. BTW, I started work on the Pirate Commandoes! When they're done, they'll be screenie worthy...

Hmm... I never thought of some of those... Pirate Commander should be more like a generic hero unit, maybe that comes with the commandoes. Ridley, sadly, is not possible. You mean Berserker Lord? Berserker Knights will be standard units. Kraid is in. He's a bit glitchy, but he's in.

Actually, the one in MP2 is only minorly damaged. It looks exactly like Ridley's mothership in Metroid:Zero Mission. I already added it as a space unit, it's a wimpy reskin of the Mon Calamari cruiser. It's similar to the Aggressor which I will probably use, but it's really more organic looking. I've seen the Pirate frigates, they are smaller grey versions of the mothership. One type of fighter looks sort of fish/tadpole like, with a round cockpit and a tail for steering. The other is a two pronged fighter that is seen for about 1 second in MP3C. I'll have to watch a video and pause it at just the right moment... There's also the boarding ships, which look sort of like mini-leviathons. That will be hard to make...

Wait...You WILL? Freaking awesome! Why didn't you say you could earlier? For my first release, I think I'll stick with as many reskins as possible. After that I might get multiple modelers to help, which will make things easier. The Mogenar isn't really that important, but I'm really stuck on Space Pirate ships. I'll go look for some models...

I call it Utragia... Utrag does sound more like the space pirates, though. I don't have max! ALO models are rare. There's simply not going to be some metroid stuff lying around in .alo format just for me to use. Unless you could help...

The phazite plating would be great it multiplayer. And I know about wikitroid. It's a great site, although some information on it is misleading. I got most of my icons there.

Yeah. With the Rancor model it could probably just melee, but I'm using that for Kraid and the Berserkers.

lol

I overused the rancor as well. ^^ Aren't Berserkers and Omega Kraid good enough?

Yes there are. The Geonosian hives look almost identical to the grounded Leviathons. You're right, but I've already overused the DTP3 model.

I'll have to look into that. Yeah, that would be good. But I'm not sure if I want to keep the vehicle factory at all. Wouldn't it be better just to get the phazon special units from a grounded Leviathon?

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/2000067174645735152_rs.jpg Meh, infantry are easy. I want to focus on Vehicles, first. I already have a Pirate Commando model. Originally I had the pirates replacing Black Sun, and the PLEX troopers looked like Commandoes from MP2E. However, I believe there was a varient of armored pirate in MP3C that looked like a green defiler, good eye. I'll have to check that once I get MP3C back. Yeah, that was one of the original idea.s I think I'll have Dark Troopers(MP2E, not Dark Forces) along with some Ing units, but right now I'm focusing on making the Space Pirates NOT look like a cheezy rewrite of Zann. It's going pretty well. I'm working on the Crawltank and Jolly Roger vehicles right now. They work pretty well, it's just that I'm not sure whether to replace the AT-AA traits in the crawltank with Canderous tank stats, and also the Jolly Roger is partially in the ground because I used the Virago model with the Scout Trooper base code. Do not want. I think I'll work on the Berserkers next, but I want some vehicles to build from the vehicle factory. Right now the only things the vehicle factory can build is the MAL, the F-9Tzwhatever, and the Pulse Cannon. I tried replacing the F-9whatever with the ATC, but that glitched up my FoC. I think I'll replace the MAL with a Space Pirate skiff (from MP2E). Should I use the Weequay, Chewbacca, or a stormtrooper? Maybe I should just completely replace the vehicle factory with a grounded Leviathon...What do you guys think? Brilliant! Weren't they only on Bryyo though? I guess they were corrupted by Phazon, so that would work. The only problem is that there is no way to teleport, without completely rewriting all the map data.

Hmmm...Yes...yes you do... Yeah. I was thinking of using SBDs as space pirates from the classic series.(They look different) Steambots were only seen on Elysia, so until I add Elysia I think I'll wait. Good idea though. lol, yeah. My last few posts seem kind of mean, in retrospect... OFFTOPIC: I've reached over 900 posts. Do I get a cookie or something?

Err...Sorry, I'm only up to season 9 of SG-1 and Season 2 of Atlantis. No. Simply no. I do want to eventually make a Metroid conversion, but for now the only faction I'm making is the Space Pirates.

So, what, you expect me to have TIME and MONEY!? No way! I'm way too lame for that! Yes and no. I can rescale the units, you know. Hey, that's a great idea! Thanks! I was wondering how to get Ghor... No. The first Stargate is built in the Star Wars galaxy and it is revealed that the humans from a long time ago were actually the ancients.

But notice at the same time I am at least two steps ahead of yout. I already made Omega Kraid. My friend(Who started the idea) already had suggested Berserker Knights from rancors. The only problem is that Berserker's have very small beaked mouths, while rancors have gaping teethy maws. I might make a Berserker anyways.

I thought you meant Urai for the MP3C pirates. It doesn't really matter. The pirates have such a capacity for modifications to their own bodies, as long as the Space Pirates I make look alien and have the same traits as the Space Pirates of Metroid Prime, they will be convincing. Trust me. Also, the Space Pirates have always been avian, until Metroid Prime for some unknown reason. The MP3C pirates are less avian due to phazon, but their is no known reason why the MP1 pirates are so humanoid/insectoid. Maybe they are a different species of pirate. The GFP will not be featured until a few releases from now, as right now the mod is just showing Phazon and the Space Pirates invading the Star Wars galaxy. It will be a TC someday if it survives that long. BTW, I had planned to use the Mandalorian model for the GF marines for a while now.

I thought about that too. I actually found two models that look just like the forms of Space Pirate from MP1 and MP2. I can give the pirates a lot of variety.

Yeah... I assumed that the replacing company would replace the defiler...I guess two companies with the same name can both be built, then. Any idea why the ATC glitched up the game?
