[Tophat1815]

I do see your point and you are probably correct to hold off.

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year ! I've been trying to download the Star Trek Kirk and Spock Era Mods from the given links (Mediafire), but I get a "permission denied" response. Please Help !

Many thanks !

Happy new year Domingo![:)]

Uploading to Gamefront. Should only take a few minutes...

[Igard]

Here's the new mirror for the Kirk era mod - http://www.gamefront.com/files/22815631/Star+Trek+Kirk+Era+v1.2.zip

Let me know if there are any problems. Remember this is for Return of the Shakturi only. There hasn't been a Legends release for this due to the difficulties in creating character files.

This mod won't load. I get an error message. Something about line 33 in the biases text.
Thanks

Hey whammo,

Are you running the mod with Legends? The Archer, Kirk and Spock mods are only for Return of the Shakturi at this time. Sorry about that.

You can simply install Return of the Shakturi in a different folder to run these mods.

[whammo11224]

Thank you for the response. I'll try that and post.

This worked, thank you! But, as a new player a got all of the add-ons in one bunch. Very hard to play the game now without the improvements of Legends. [:)]

Thanks again

[Igard]

I know exactly what you mean whammo. The problem with Legends was getting all the character data into the mod. It took a very veeeery long time to update the Picard Era for Legends. I kind of burnt out when I tried to do the same for this mod. The new modding patch that comes after Shadows should make adding characters much easier. Then I'll get this mod updated and then the others.

I'll be back to assist you again Igard after my testing with Shadows is over. Don't despair! [:D]
We can then do both a Legends version and a Shadows version.

[whammo11224]

Your work is appreciated though. I'm gonna stick with the Picard era for now.

Thank you

Thanks Ed! As long as we can mod these characters quicker than we do now, these mods should be far easier to update. We'll talk about how we're both going to work on this stuff together at a later date. Remember I need some time to play Shadows first![:D]

I only play the Picard Era also. I've got a RotS seperate install for testing purposes.

Thanks whammo! I'm glad you're liking the mod. [:)]

Hi Igard,

I have played all the different eras of your ST mods and I find them all awesome. Obviously the Picard era one seems more complete, but their all great.

I'm very happy to hear that you will be working on updating the Kirk era for Shadows. I'm a huge fan of Star Fleet Battles and that makes the Kirk era my favorite.

Obviously take your time and enjoy playing Shadows, but when your ready to begin, I will be following your progress closely.

Great job and happy gaming.

Rod

[Igard]

Thanks Rod! Happy trekking to you sir!

Since I've been taking so long to get round to finishing the Picard Era mod for Shadows, I've decided to upload the other mods (Archer, Kirk and Spock) as straight up conversions from their Return of the Shakturi versions.

This means that the mods are very much unfinished. No characters etc, but they are working with Shadows.

So enjoy and happy trekking!

you made my day now i can play star trek in shadow
good job cant wait for the picard era the troop images will be interesting
not many games have trek ground combat thanks from Stan

[Igard]

Funny you should mention games with ground combat. I've taken a tiny bit of inspiration from the old RTS game Star Trek New Worlds. I've never played it, apparently it's really bad, but it does have Klingon tanks!

[stanstill]

i have two ideas for the troops in this mod two possible names for federation special forces you could name them
star fleet marines or mako regiment

[Igard]

MACOs are definately a great idea for the Archer era special forces unit!

I'll have to research a bit and find out if there are any other units I could use for the later eras.

I don't know if the MACOs would have continued as part of the Federation and Starfleet. It seems rather odd that the other founding members, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellerites would have adopted everything that Earth used pre-Federation. They kept Starfleet, but perhaps the MACOs became a division of Earth's defence force.

It's really open to the imagination, but without any mention of the MACOs after the Enterprise series, I feel reluctant to add them to the other eras.

I've also considered Section 31 operatives as the spec forces unit. I've already used S31 as spies, so it's not too much of a stretch. There would probably be too many spec forces units for that to seem canon though. I rather think of S31 as a very small (but powerful) branch of starfleet. Not something that you can just churn out units for.
