Robotech Mod for SupCom

Does anyone know if there are any Robotech-based mods available for SupCom? I read the entire book series long ago in my youth, really enjoyed it, and think it would make for awesome RTS gameplay. If you're unfamiliar with the series, check out the following:

- http://www.kent.net/robotech/ships/index.shtml
- http://www.kent.net/robotech/vehicles/index.shtml
Excessively oversimplifying, there are 3 dominant races (at least early on in the series): the humans of Macross, the Zentraedi, and the Invid.
If a mod doesn't exist, anyone interested in teaming up and creating such a mod?|||Wouldn't really work as an RTS; much better as a TPS instead.|||I would agree if we were talking about making a total port of the series. But I think using a subset of the Robotech universe could create something pretty cool.|||A mod like that would just scream for a C&D letter... There was a Halo mod that was made for SupCom, but it was stopped. Dont ya think the same will happen to a Robotech mod?|||Had some thougths in that general direction awhile, but it petered out in the end;

Mike|||Harmony Gold is incredibly interested in keeping the entire Robotech/Macross IP to itself. We'd definitely see a C&D letter at some point.|||BulletMagnet|||Mike that's a pretty cool mech. I saw a post a while back about a UI for an assault bot that can transform into a flyer and back.
I was wondering how many units like this are out there. I would certainly like to see one in game.|||Yea i dout it would take them long to issue a C&D for any robotech mod project.
Heck if i remember correctly they are responsible for holding up the next Mechwarrior game by starting a lawsuite aginst them for using some of the Battletech "Unseen" mechs in the new game... For those of you not Battletech enthusists, the "Unseen" was a series of mechs who's origins where based off the Robotech/Macross series when they where both brand new. The Mechs where kept (stats wise) but due to lawsuites no longer had images of them published.|||my ignorance = what is a C&D ?|||Cease and Desist letter.
It's basically a legal way of saying stop what you're doing or we'll put a lawsuit on yo' ***.|||Manimal|||Id say there is about ZERO chance of this happening. What about the TA conversion? The Nomads? All started and not finished.
Nobody is interested. Or they are and they start and then they get bored, or real life takes over.
Not gonna happen.
