This here ship is an enhanced version of the Mother with better fire power and the ability to build compact ships, called, Father. Now the smaller ships will have a stable home? Tongue well whatever, its a good idea and adds a little more power to Species 8472.


Y Species 8472 Father for Star Trek Armada 2.

Hello. Its Billy9 here with an Armada 2 mod! I hope you like this one better than my last ones. Alright. I thought that Species 8472 was underpowered and stood no chance against the overmodded races. So, I made this. It is an enhanced verion of the Mother with heavier weaponry and the ability to build combat ships.

The files:

1 Bitmap
1 Odf
1 Sod
3 Texture files
The Readme

Put the bitmap into the bitmaps/admirals log/ships folder
Put the odf into the odfs/ships folder
Put the sod into the sod folder
Put the 3 texture files into the textures/rgb folder

Next, go into the techtrees folder and into the file fulltech

Add this: 8472_father.odf 0
Under the Species 8472 Ships section

Next go into tech1 and put this:
8472_father.odf 0
Under the Species 8472 Ships section.

Now, go into the Sprites folder and into gui_global

Add this line:
b_8472_father gb8472_mother 0 0 64 64
Under Species 8472 BuildButtons

Next, put the following lines:
8472_fatherw1 8472wireframe03 0 96 48 48
8472_fatherw3 8472wireframe03 96 96 48 48
8472_fatherw4 8472wireframe03 144 96 48 48
8472_fatherw5 8472wireframe03 192 96 48 48
Under Species 8472 Wireframes.

Finally, go into the 8472_passive file under odf/ships and but this line:
buildItem6 = "8472_father"
In the Build Items section.

Thats it! I hope you enjoy this mod!
Look for the other im submitting with this one:

Actually this is useful. At least the idea is anyway *downloads for when species 8472 is modded in my mod*. The only thing that might let this down is the usage of the same model but other than that, highly useful.

do you need a father and a mother to evolve ships? what if the mother cheats on the father?[/sarcasm]

HHhhhmmmm, from what I heard: 'Mother' divorced the 'Father' because he wasn't beinig a good 'parent' to the larvas and let other races took over their part of space. :P You go, Independant Alien Mother!

The concept is good. But there is another SOD for an 8472 Mother Type...but its green, why dont you release that one instead. Its the same as the mother, but the colouring is different, would make it very cool???

Maybe you can create a ship and call it the judge to help with any custody disputes.

It's a bit disturbing to think that ships are 'hatched' from the father. o_O
