Looks cool, but it's suffering from the Star Trek Syndrome.

Impressive! But one of the main characteristics that the Leralons would have is not to be humanoid. They would in fact look like that drawing I did - having three legs and small thin arms.



Still, I like this alien model you putted here.

Well it's best to try out all 3 and see which one you understand the most. They all have random learning curves

Well, maybe I can use Rhino. Is it easier than 3D Max? If it is, could put a download link?

Blender is harder than 3DS, but anyway...

Hello guys! I was thinking about it, and decided to put my ideas for a new faction in Endless Space: The Leralons.



The Leralons are a race that evolved normally on a terran planet called Feros, orbiting a binary star. Just like the Sophons, the Leralons are a science obsessed race. However, the Leralons do know that there will be threats in the galaxy (cough Cravers cough), they know that the galaxy is a dangerous place. Because of that, they used their excellent scientific potential to develop the most deadly weapons they could think about.



The Leralons will not needlessly declare war on you, thats not their intentions. But since they know that there will a race that will represent a threat to them, they don't know in which space-faring civilizations in the galaxy they can trust, since every civilization around them could be their future enemies. The distrust that the Leralons have with the other races makes diplomacy difficulty, and this is what characterizes their diplomatic alignment to be neutral.



Appearance:



When I was imaginating the Leralons body, I was inspired by the aliens themselves from the 2005 War of the Worlds movie by Steven Spielberg.

So, if the Leralons are ever added to the game, their body would like a bit like this:







Ship Design:



Leralon ships would look a bit like the Sower ships - having flattened surfaces and a metallic grey painting.



Dreadnought - Version 1:







Dreadnought - Version 2 (with metallic grey painting):







Destroyer:







Transport/Colony:







Corvette:







Fighter (Initial Concept):







Basic Concept:



Symbol:





An Leralon outpost/small city:





Planet Type: Terran

Diplomatic Alignment: Neutral (because they don't know in which civilizations they can trust, making diplomacy difficulty)

Gameplay: Powerful Scientists

Victory Type: Scientific/Military



Traits:



Deadly Weapons 3/3

Scientists 3/3

Isolation Shields

PeV-scale Accelerators

Advanced Machining

Spendthrifts 1/3

Unskilled Builders 2/3

Snipers 1/3

Stellar Guardians 1/2

Fearless Warriors 1/2

Meticulous Analysis 1/2



Exactly 65 points.

I wish there was a negative diplomatic trait that only makes diplomacy harder, instead of "Eternal War" as the only negative diplomatic trait.



Affinity:



Science is Power



Since the Leralons use their excellent scientific potential to develop weapons, 50% of their research points will increase the invasion power of their ships. This means that when you build systems improvements that increase your scientific points, 50% of these points will increase the invasion power of your ships (+ = +ower.

Thant you, DHawk. I also like the Tohari, I like the idea of merging two races.

Rhino... Don't get me started



I actually took to Blender pretty fast.

Hey, I started working on this faction only for fun, but now I'm obsessed with it. Is there anyone here that have enough skills to do 3D models, art and programing? I'm planning on creating a mod for this faction, but I have no skills to do it.
