Hello. I wanted to put this up in the hopes that I could get in touch with a modder that could help me mod Starpoint Gemini 2 and possibly a couple of other games such as Sins of a Solar Empire and Star Wars: Empire at war. See what I would like to add is the characters from the Captain Harlock universe created by Leji Matsumoto, more specifically the various forms of his flag ship the "Arcadia of my Youth" that have appeared throughout different series and movies.

It has always been my dream to fly the great battleship Arcadia in the sea of stars, sadly I seem to be its only champion. I think that if the characters and the ships where put out into more mods people would love it. I mean it just blend its perfectly to space battles. Let me add a couple pictures to clarifyArcadia79Arcadia sideArcadia79 backside

This is the original version of the ship, first seen in the 1979 series Space Pirate Captain Harlock. It is by far the sleekest and least heavily armed and armored. Notice the rotating Superfiring platforms. It would be amazing if that could be replicated, not only could they rotate independently but the barrels could elevate and lower independently from each other as well as they fire. This version would obviously be faster and more maneuverable, but more of a corvette than a capital ship. Yes it has a wooden ship captain cabin in the back, as do all versions. Captain Harlock has to have a little touch of class in his captains quarters, sip some wine, play the flute, plan a raid. It gets hit often, yes it is a weak spot but as its a non vital area targeting it is pretty moot.


The is the second more commonly used version of the ship. First introduced in the 1982 movie named after it "Arcadia of my Youth" as well as "Galaxy Express 999"ArcadiaOMYArcadiaOMY sideArcadiaOMY frontHarlock and the Arcadia

As you can see the ship got a significant upgrade. The sleekness went away in favor of a more heavily armored design in fitting with a battleship. The first main advantage is the superfiring platform on the belly. This platform, unlike the others, has a 360 degree rotation giving it versatility against multiple targets. The second is the addition of the massive front section. That is not for show, that is all armor plating designed to take hits and ram enemy vessels. In fact the ship was underground and had to blast through the surface to leave the planet. The command tower is also expanded. The ship also has vents and paths for torpedo/missile batteries. She also can carry a small complement of fighters. This is a great carrier class ship.


Finally we come to the newest version, a more powerful variant the black ship.Arcadia black side

It adds a third superfiring platform to the top for even more firepower. This ship simple, all batteship, all armor and weapons so this is like Dreadnought class.
