In the Year 2199, Earth was attacked by the Gamilas Empire, Earth was nearly defeated if not for the valiant efforts of the Space Battleship Yamato and her crew. The Yamato and crew would then face many foes over the next five years, nearly facing destruction at every turn. You play as the Commanding General of the United Nations Cosmo Navy during what became known as The Five Years of Fire. In this total conversion mod, you will be able to chose playing as the EDF, Galman Empire, Gatlantis Comet Empire, Bolar Federation, or The Dark Nebulan Empire as you battle across space. Will you take command of the mighty Yamato and protect the Earth or work to bring about the absolute domination of the Galaxy?
After a long period of non-activity due to programs shutting down, we're finally able to release the intended Alpha Version of our Mod! Our full focus will shift to Sins of a Solar Empire 2 when it releases later this year! Please enjoy this "Demo" of our Earth Factions!

How did I miss this?! I love Yamato!
We love Yamato too!
Since there are really not many SBY mods out there for any games Really, i look forward to this one. I always wanted to use the Yamato and other ships in a tactical game.
If i may ask, how will you be handeling the Voicelines? Will you be useing the ones from the series?
We're going to be recording custom voice lines that are in line with the Yamato-universe, pulling voice lines from the show could be considered copyright infringement and we're trying to keep this on the up and up as much as it can be!
IIRC they won't bother you if you pull the lines from the series as considering this mod is nonprofit, it falls under the definition of "fair use" by US copyright law.
The main problem tho is the lack of satisfactory voicelines.
shut the **** up, you steal models from other people
thats why youre banned from the FYOF discord

where has mod gotten? and a eta for the release date please.
Work is progressing, however there's not much in the way of artwork to show off at this time. And there is no ETA for release, when we have one, we'll announce it.
As a modder for Stellaris, I happen to have a few meshes of my own that are SBY-themed. Mainly, they are the Andromeda, Dreadnought, Gearing (rendered in Sketchup and exported to .obj), Kongo (rendered in Blender, textured in 3D Builder, exported to.obj)and maybe some more as the mod progresses. We already have some non-canon designs like the Izumo (WWII Ise-class with thrusters replacing the propellers) and the Taihou (Chinese carrier Liaoning taped on top of an Andromeda).
Can I send them to you for your use?
At this time we're focusing on Canon designs only. And right now we've got these models already made up and textured. Appreciate the offer however, we're good for the moment.
I had a few Garmilian designs archived on my PC too. There is a Gelvades-class battlecarrier, a destroyer, and a Gaiperon-class multideck carrier. All three have been rendered in Sketchup and exported to .obj for converting to .xsi.
Hopefully that might shave off some time off your scedule?
