There are other sites / services also, don't know if all the files are so big that would get in the way on any of them. Maybe TJ should get himself a modder's signature, with a link pointing to a cargo bay....and not that cloaked one.

In fairness, I use some of IGard's Federation ships for my personal fleet's ships (although I cut a few from other places as well), and for pirate ships and the like, but the rest of it is all SW stuff. And I use the tops of MiG-29 and Su-34s for my attack birds, and in my second set, I use XB-70 and the F-23

I am definitely open to giving back to the community. You all have been a blast. I cannot tell you the number of forums where people are just not fun to talk to... If someone points me to a community download/upload service, I will be happy to upload.

Sounds good, I look forward to the DW:ROTS Star Wars universe, comprising all the Star Wars races. Two other quick questions if I may:

- The first time I loaded the Galactic Empire Theme I got the starting main planet as Coruscant, this was correct/good. However, every time I have started a game as the Empire since I never get Coruscant, just a random planet name. Is this WAD or am I doing something wrong?

- Once I have a saved game from both sides (Galactic and Empire) does it matter what the Theme was last set on when I load?

Thank you,

AKL

1. afaik it's wad but the homeworld can be set via a file; don't remember now which one but i'll dig up and let you now.

2. it should matter, yes, the files are always needed....but better have confirmation from one of the modders on this, they know better.

Tony, the file is races.txt. You have in there many options to set for each race among which is the homeworld name also.
Be sure to check the races.txt in the customization folder not the one in the general game folder. There is also a tool developed by one of us to make editing the file easier, I'll post it here once I find it again.

Hey Tony. No, you don't have to change theme before loading a savegame. The game changes the theme for you.

Hi Caesar. I can report that Mr Data does indeed still break into my cargobay from time to time. He enjoys drinking all my ale and stealing my Orion slave girls. Who knows what else he gets up to in there!

He's a very naughty android.[:-]

Indeed, Igard. But pardon me, if you will, lad, but you claim to have Orion slave girls?? If you recall the classic 1943 film "Casablanca", I can only exclaim with Louis, the French Commissar: "I'm shocked! Shocked!"

Hmmm... Hardly becoming of an Imperial Centurion who only wishes to bring order to the galaxy. Can't bring order with ale being stolen and with Orion slave girls, you know [8|], and with androids running amuck, that would be the undoing of any Empire.

Dear, oh dear, that won't do at all...

All I'll say is, he'd better not be practicing his 'multiple techniqes' in my cargobay![:D]

Of course, I don't keep them for my own personal use. As every great Emperor knows, one must keep the plebeians happy.[:)]

Keep the plebeians... "happy"??
Oh, yes, I'm afraid I've forgotten my imperial greatness... [8|]
I'd forgotten that that's part of an imperial order of things.

Plebeian happiness is from older, republican forms of crude and inefficient government.
They must learn to properly understand Imperial greatness and grandeur, and sacrifice
themselves for the glory of the Emperor!
Now, if they think they're happy (hehehe) with bread and circuses, all the better for the Emperor and the Empire! [:D]

Caesar....I can attest to the fact of Igard's Orion Slave Girls, as shown below, I acquired one from
his Cargobay a while back. Cassiopeia is safely behind the shroud of the Briar patch Nebula....and she can whip up a mean plate of Falaxian steak and Lissepian eggs! [:'(]
