Mass Effect Mod
So, this is turning into yet another mod :P I'm thinking this will behave a bit different than my star trek mod - first and foremost, no nukes. The Disruptor torpedoes are kinda like ECMs, so I figure you'll get a decent number of homing and ECM torps. The Normandy is fast and maneuverable with a decent set of guns out front. Most of the rest of the ships have a big gun in front plus CIWS scattered around. The Stealth feature of the Normandy is already inherent in the enemy AI stack - they ignore you until you start attacking, since they're heading for the bases anyways. Ships will have a long but very narrow firing arc for the main gun. It will be up to the helmsman, weapons and science officers to coordinate avoiding enemy arcs while positioning yours favorably. Good luck, soldiers.

Yes there would be. :)
Way cool
So, I'm going through and baking decals on and doing engine glows by hand and such. For your quick edification:
very nice. I really love it. Would you consider doing more ships from mass effect. I don't do graphic design or I would do it myself but I really would like to make a mission around some of these ships.

Now with engines and decals! Actual model, internals, xml snippet and textures to follow.
@Captain - yeah, I definitely could do that. I'll need to find more models to convert, but I'll add it to my queue :-)

very nice. Can't wait to see what else you create. and thanks.

love it!
Ok, so I'll probably get some grief for this, but I've never actually played any of the ME games. There are, however, a buggerton of resources for making game mods with, namely meshes and textures. However, knowing basically nothing about the game, what all ships etc would I need for the mod? A friend (the one who wanted the Normandy in the first place) has been giving me some insight, and here's what I've found so far. (I may actually have more currently, some of these files are.... not well organized.) Are there any ships etc that would really be necessary to make a Mass Effect mod?
I figure this would be the player/ally side:
Alliance:
Fighter in red, and in blue (ME1/ME2/3?)
Cruiser/Dreadnaught in red/blue (a bit confused, the same model is called both, depending on the resource)
Normandy SV1
Normandy SV2
Gunship
Turien
Frigate

I figure this would be the enemy side:
Cerberus
Fighter
Cruiser
Gunship
Dropship
Geth
Dreadnaught
Fighter
Reaper
Sovereign?
Harbinger?
Destroyer?

Other:
Mass Relay
Shadow Broker

I have played the games and here is generally what you would want to make.
Alliance
Normandy
Fighter
capital ship
Turian
Fighter
Capital ship
Frigate
Asari
Destiny Ascension
Collectors
Ship
Base
Fighter(has a name will find it)
Geth
You got all of those
Cerberus is also covered
Also the Quarian fleet. There capital ship the only major one
There is two types of reapers and harbinger is a larger version
The citadel is THE space station in the game, Omega as well.
I think that covers all major ships. There are a host of smaller ones as well of course but they are mostly non-essential. The list I made also includes ships you wouldn't need but are pretty cool. The list you have suffices but it would be better if you added the asari ship. Beyond that the rest I mentioned are nice but unnecessary ships.

Ok, I've got the destiny ascension, the geth bomber, and a quarian Migrant Fleet ring ship - this will probably be a transport/cargo ship for artemis. Still working on finding stations that aren't just 200+ random stair and wall sections :P
hmmm...I can't really think of a station form mass effect. Your best bet is the citadel or Omega.

Hm. Both those stations are a tad on the large side to use at full scale for Artemis (44km long? Artemis map is only 100km long :P) . Suggestions? The mass relay is still like 15km long. Maybe just the stock Artemis stations as "resupply/refuling depots."
Yeah that is probably best. It would be cool to have the citadel and Omega but you are right they are far to large. Yeah the basic Artemis ones are best.

Well, if I can find a citadel or Omega model I'll include it in the mod and set its type to Citadel or Omega respectively. That way it can be used in a mission, at least, but it's just not really set for Invasion mode :P
I will look around to see if there is any smaller stations. And it would be coll to see the citadel but the size of it would just be beyond imagination.
