I know you well enough, tj, to know you are no jerk.

Sorry if my response was a little bit short. Sometimes I just post my message without a thought for formalities. Just think of a chirpy cheery Edinburgh accent when you read my posts.[:D]

I was a bit concerned about the size of the BoP's, so I was rather surprised when I looked up the chart. Anyway if you can live with it, I can live with it, but always feel free to post critisism or questions, I'm totally cool with that.

That video also illustrates that the BoP is not as small as it seems. Thanks for that, tj.

I think I'll post a little summary of what's planned and if I can get some feedback/suggestions, that would be great.

In the pipeline for the Archer Era:-

* Xindi Council
* Suliban Cabal
* Tellarite - Only if the new expansion makes this possible.

The Kirk Era:-

* Tholians - These will be similar to the Archer Era Tholians. Just a few minor changes.
* First Federation - Fairly simple shipset. May be difficult to play with them as their ships are all very similar. I'm not sure how I'll go about this, but they should make for a pretty cool minor race.
* Kelvan Empire - Remember the invaders from the Andromedan galaxy from the episode 'by any other name'.
* Gorn Hegemony
* Kzinti Patriarchy - This feline race was renamed to the Mirak Star Leage and turned into a canine race for the Starfleet command series games. I'll turn them back, but it's going to be tough making them appear 'TOS' era.

So, as long as the new expansion allows, this is what I hope to have done by January.[8D]

What about the Interstellar Concordium (ISC)?

I was thinking about saving them for the Sulu Era (the movie era) along with the Hydrans and Lyrans. Perhaps once I'm finished with it all, I can add them to earlier mods as well. Hopefully the expansion will permit me to add more ship families.

Also, I'm planning to make a Sulu era, then a Picard era, then a Riker/Sisko/Janeway (haven't decided) era. TRSE Star Trek mod will eventually be superseded by both of these latter mods.

So, there's still much work to be done!

Very good! I'm also hoping that they get rid of those limitations on shipsets. Your mods would really be able to shine if those shipset family restrictions weren't in place. BTW....are you going to add the Borg in the Picard Era mod? The Borg could also be included in the Archer era.?

I'll make a couple more additions to TRSE mod when the expansion is released and, if it allows, I'll add the borg and possibly the Reman. Then I'll work on the Archer and Kirk eras before starting the Picard era.

I don't think I'll add the Borg to the Archer era. That episode of Enterprise was just a one off encounter with a small group of drones. They never actually met the collective until TNG episode 'Q Who'. So no Borg util the Picard era.

Actually I still need to find out if there's a fix for the scaling bug in the expansion. I need the Borg cubes to be big and scary.

Have you said anything about the Sona?

True.

I'm sorry Simulation01.... Igard has not convened a meeting with me in the
"Face-Stretching" conference room yet concerning adding the Sona! [:D]

BTW....keep up the fantastic work Igard... [&o]

I have to put the Sona on the back burner I'm afraid. If I were to attempt them, it would be a long term project. I can only find 2 ships to work with, but hey, that's better than nothing. Maybe I can figure something out, but it'll take a while.

Sorry, bud. It's not hard to switch races about from mod to mod so you can always play around with it yourself.

I am looking forward to this mod... and who knows, I may even keep it a ST mod and NOT integrate it to my SW mod. [:D]

That is an excellent job on the Kzintis.

Thanks, tj. From what I know about the Kzinti (I've never seen The Animated Series), they shouldn't really have a navy at this point (they signed a peace treaty with the Federation after they were defeated), but they do build one again at a later time. So who's to say when they start building up their fleet again.

Burning the midnight oil to get these previews ready.

Tholians haven't changed much. This is because they're so isolated and not up to speed with the rest of the galaxy so there's only a few changes to their ships over the last century. It's also because I've not got much to work with so I'll need to keep a few ships back for the later eras.

Gorn. A bit grey, but big and Gorn-like.
