Work has started on a highly detailed version of Star Trek Next Generation..........

Distant Worlds Universe has had modding for over 12 years and today after 12 years of creating mods for this game, I finally worked out how to change the background image of DWU.

This is the official look of how the Main Menu appears in my Distant Worlds Universe mod

I have put on hold the creation of the research and component files and assigned priority to another area. I will get back to Research and components in a couple of weeks time.

What I am working on are creating the characters for Federation Captains. I had asked AI how many pictures I should create for Federation captains in total and this is the reply I got.

This is something I did not know.

And some more questioning of AI over the 20 character limit.....

So I asked more questions of AI...... I have had mods with hundreds of characters in the character file for each race and never had an issue at all that I was aware of .

So the AI told me there is no limit to how many names you have in the character file......... what is important to remember is that for each Empire you have a limit of 20 characters that can be in the game at any one time for each Empire....... as long as your active captains, admirals, scientists etc stay at 20 or under in total , there is no issue.

So I will be looking at this during the development of this mod

I am wondering if this was why characters were removed from Distant Worlds 2.

Time to ask AI how I can ensure that Picard is the Captain of the Enterprise in this mod and not another captain.....
