Take as much time as you want. I would rather wait and have a great mod, then have an incomplete mod quickly.

In das's playthrough he has a very different UI - it looks trek themed but mine isn't showing up like that at all.

Is this a seperate mod I'm guessing?

Just for the record, Das123 (a.k.a. Das24680) is a member of our DW "Trek Team". He's been recording with
the Pre-Release Candidate of our Version 2.0 Picard Era mod. He has made his own UI for Distant Worlds that caters to his taste.
In addition, he has also made his own flavored UI, resource icons and related
Galactopedia modifications for his own use and to publish separately as an option "mod-mod" for our
Picard Era mod. Which I have given my support to.

The original Version 1.0 mod that is out now has the 'official' Trek-themed UI for all the races
that I put in. That is why it looks different (@thefinn) than what his "Let's Play Star Trek The Picard Era" recordings show.
The official release of Version 2.0 will also have the 'official' Trek-themed UI. When Das123 has completed his UI version,
I'll be hosting it along with the Version 2.0 mod release on MediaFire as an alternate option. That way, a player may choose between the original Trek
UI or the alternate one if they wish! Hope that explains it!

All I'll say right now Knickers is that I'm shooting for sometime next weekend. Testing of the
Version 2.0 Pre-Release Candidate is in full force and so far it is performing excellently! Once
the UFP 1400 x 1000 map is complete and tested successfully, I will add it to the mod and release.
I plan to also add a smaller map size for those with less powerful systems, but I'll add that as
a separate upload later. I'll also be starting a new thread for Version 2.0 at release. It will be
hosted through my paid account (No Adware - Direct Download) at MediaFire., as was Version 1.0.
Thanks for your continued support and interest!

Well you may have thought of this already, but since you already have the mod completed and are only working on the map, then maybe you would consider releasing the mod now, and then releasing the mod with the map as an update when it's ready?

Patience Knickers, patience!

Since the map has many 'hidden' race events that interact with the 30 races it would be foolish to release
the map without testing that all the race events work correctly and cause no crashes. Our Trek Team does
not put out buggy projects. So as a precaution, we're not releasing until I and the team is satisfied that
the map does work correctly.

Sorry winkr7, this mod is exclusive to "The Picard Era". What you're looking for will be
in our next mod project "The Kirk Era". The Tholians are one of the races in this mod though
just FYI.

I swear I might phaser myself if I see one more 'coming soon' [;)]

Don't take this the wrong way, not a complaint of 'when is it coming'. Just the opposite in fact. Modder's do things for free, and in their own spare time (A fact for which I am hugely appreciative of).

I would much prefer a "Hi, just popped in to say hello.....oh and by the way version two has been released.

Edit: Btw, I do check this site daily for its release lol.

Thanks for the kind words zoommooz11! Sorry about the anxiety you're going through
waiting for this. But do us Trek Team members a favor...please MAKE SURE that your
phaser is set to the lowest 'Stun' setting!
