".. to the intellignce commanding Unity I have only this to say: go back to the trash heap you crawled out of or we will blast you back ourselves!"
- Admiral Robert Bianco

The Union Resistance Coalition (or more simply Union): is a collection of beings from all the major races of the war so far that have banded together to defeat Uni-T. Everyone in Union has been branded an outlaw, traitor and deserter because they have not only abandoned their home races or territories but are (according to their former commanders) cavorting with enemy species. It is because of this UNION of science, technology and thinking that the union has assembled a fleet of ships, weapons, and technologies beyond anything the galaxy has ever known.

Lead by plucky and daring Admirals Robert "Bob" Bianco and Andrew Smith, the Union is the only hope the galaxy has of defeating the Uni-T threat. This coalition of Federation, Empire, Rebels, Alliance, Tribe, Order and even Swarm beings is proof that absolutely ANYTHING is possible...even a lasting peace.

This mod you give you access to powerful new hulls and 2 new classes of turrets Siege and MOAT.

Intel has reported that Uni-T has "recycled" captured ships into the collective, Captains are warned to be prepared for anything.

When fighting against Uni-T, it is advised to watch out for the Drones. They attack in swarms but are very fragile and are quickly destroyed once their structural integrity is compromised. The sizes vary from the small fighters that are fast and agile to the large corvettes that could carry enough firepower to rival a frigate.

The Union shipwrights have the advantage of combining the best technologies from across the galaxy. The final design may resemble the original, but that is where the similarity it ends.

This version of the Uni-T mod is for all the people that need more room to move on the battle field

The MiniUni-T mod adds all the blasty fun of the Uni-T mod but at half the size. This leaves you plenty of room for your own Uber Mega Juggernauts.

This mod will shrink all the original GSB & Uni-T ships by half, which means that the largest cruiser is only 125.
Also it will reduce the size all modules to match with the reduction in ship size.

Please note: It is strongly recommended that MinUni-T should only be used by people with a firm grasp of the basics of modding GSB. This is because miniaturising GSB alters most of the vanilla content. This can cause problems with patching and other mods if you are not careful.

Excellent work, I will incorporate both mods into my mod, with credits to you, of course.

[darkstar076]

Thankyou :]

I just re-released the minimod again - mainly because i forgot to alter the deployment locations for all the missions.
but i will have to release it again within the next week or so to incorporate the balance changes with 1.37

As for the BigGunz . .
I am slowly making my way through all the graphical changes
I will also have to readjust the weapon modules in this mod as well to incorporate the balance changes

[Drewoid13]

Looking forward to this Darkstar!

[darkstar076]

Thanks, sorry for taking so long with this mod ^^;
I have to mod around 450 graphics to make this work
The tribe weapons are scheduled for this weekend . .

I'm really intrigued by your two mods in progress. Especially MiniGSB. Thank you for putting so much effort into the two of them; I appreciate it!

[darkstar076]

For awhile i thought i had bitten off more than i could chew when i started these mods :)
Basically i can only work on the mod during my weekends (i work full time)

I am really hoping that the BigGunz mod will open up the tactical options for your ships and any other mods out there.
For example, a "Pirate Race Mod" might have an enemy deployment that consists of:
- fast attack raider group armed with rapid fire weapons who close the gap quickly and attack at point blank.
- Mid range heavy armed tanks that pound away and the line of skirmish
- lightly armoured long range missile boats that fire from the relative safety behind the front lines.
- and if you are using the mini mod option, A freakin huge juggernaut that dwarfs your fleet and kicks major hull - muhahahaha

Well, thats the aim anyways . .

[Jake Wedding]

wouldn't you be able to make it so Frigates are in Squadrons now?

[darkstar076]

No, sorry, this BigGunz or miniGSB does not enable frigates to be used in squadrons.

But this one will (Jake Wedding - Special Order)
