I have recently had an idea for a starcraft 2 mod for SOASE, however I have no idea how to go about doing this due to my complete inexperience at all forms of modding and finding a team. I ask for anyone reading this help in giving me ideas to set this up.

I deleted your duplicate topic, just FYI...

Thanks, didn't even realise I made 2.

First of all, How are you gonna do this? Starcraft lack of air units (there is only battle cruisers and carriers are present)
Second, Blizzard will call you to cancel your project.
Third and last, I recomend you to do a mod inspired in starcraft, such a human race (terrans) whose army is made by convicts and outlaws, an dying alien race (protoss) with shining golden ships and parasitic bugs (zergs) that 'nom nom nom' anything.

you can create units that come to your minds along with the canon ones in starcraft, you'll be creating a fan universe mod... but inspired in starcraft. Look in maelstrom or sins of the fallen, some units are based in media, others just fusing existing ships to form another new one

My idea is instead of making 3 new races, to make 1 new addon race with terran, zerg and protoss units in them. This should deal with the lack of canon space units. This mod will be inspired by starcraft and not using anything that could get it closed down.

I think to do a project like that, would require years. especially if it is a community mod with no ships from the former races. If you are intent on doing it then you might want to start by posting your ideas in a SOSE mod forum for general modders and find a group who share your passion to create a starcraft mod, this will also help you find a fanbase for the mod.

I saw this and laughed. Yeah, it'll take you years to do a total conversion.

If you're passionate about it, you'll find a way though.

It would be strange, you know?
The Protoss and Terran don't get along very well but they both hate the zerg for their constant 'nom nom noming' and infestation.

I can say that is safe to say that the mayority of units of that 'faction' will be Zerg (and infested Protoss/Terran units) and Protoss, few will be Terran such as the battlecruiser and its mercenary variant.
