tj, you really have to watch the final season of Enterprise. It's like they said, 'You know what, we're getting cancelled, let's just go crazy and have fun'. Although the final episode was a bit odd I have to say.

Yea,I didn't like the way they ended it either.seemed it was left open for more but there were no takers on another season.

On a better note how is the Mod coming along...? :) No preasure here.....lol

Well, it's very difficult finding Andorian ships, so I'm just using what I think is suitable. Just a couple more to do there.

Tellarites will be put on hold till later because it's very hard to find material.

Klingons, Romulans and Tholians should be no problem, a couple of hours work to do each.

Vulcans are done.

First Federation didn't appear until TOS, so I've cancelled that idea. Wait for the 'Early Kirk' Era Mod.[;)]

I think I'll wait until I've got; United Earth, Terran Empire, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Tholian Assembly, Andorian Empire and Vulcan High Command before releasing the next update. I'm not doing dialogue yet because I found that to be extremely challenging. Maybe after it's finished I'll do it.

That leaves 2 shipsets undone (modders patch forthcoming), so one of them could be Tellarite and the other I have no idea yet.

Hopefully get this to you within the next 2 - 3 weeks, though this is subject to change if I'm busy elsewhere.[;)]

Hey Igard and gang, I found a treasure trove of sound effects:

Enjoy!

Cool, thanks. I think Fulgaris already used some of these effects for his sound pack or something similar.

Don't know why he isn't active on the forums anymore, but he did a nice job with this :-

Just a small preview for the unfinished Romulans (my favourite). I need to wait before I can upload because one of the modelers for these awesome ships has stated in the readme that I must obtain his permission first. It's not a big deal, I can find replacements, but I'd much rather use his.

Hopefully shouldn't take long, I'll give it about a week before everything can be finished.[:)]

Terran Empire is finished. It's much the same as the United Earth fleet, but I did some colouring in and changed the capital ship to TOS defiant as per Tophat1812's request.[;)]

All done now except for the Romulans. I'm waiting for permission from one of the creators as he specifically forbids anyone using his ships for anything without his permission. Unfortunately, doesn't look like he's going to respond to my request so I will have to use other ships. He actually stipulates in his readme that even if I don't get a reply, that doesn't mean I have permission. So, I have to respect his wishes.

I'll give it a couple more days, then release V1.1.[;)]

I'm going to amend some of the ships I've already done while I wait for a response from the Romulan ship modeler. I was looking through stuff from drexfiles.wordpress.com where there are some great images. Although I don't completely like the shadowed effect alot of them have, they are nice and closer to canon which is very important to me.

Here's an updated Romulan shipset preview. Had to remove 3 ships from the last one as I didn't get any response for the permission to use them. Version 1.1 imminent.[:)]

Looks sharp as always... but you do know that the more angular ship you show on this is a Klingon L-9 frigate, not a Romulan ship... FYI, if you care. I mix and match them myself.

Very well spotted, tj.[;)] It's not the first time I've broken from canon either!

I was going to use them as freighters. I'll have to look for more now. I slightly altered the images to make them look different, but obviously wasn't enough. Now that I look at them again here, they don't really fit do they?

BTW, they are Romulan ships, they're just in the wrong time![;)]

Ok, I've redone the Romulan freighters. The L9 frigates will come in useful for the late Kirk era mod.

Here's a screen to show what I've done. Freighters and mining ships orbiting a beautiful homeworld.
