I'd just like to throw in my two cents.

From what I can tell, the story element is trying to start from the next generation era right? Like the Federation has been established and all the other empires start with a small section of planets under their control to begin with?

Wouldn't it be more prudent to allow people to start each empire from scratch. It would be alot more work, but for example Earth starts independent and it's just that planet. Your survey ship can be the nx01, you can research each ship level up past that working your way through the whole of star trek history.

You could also set up multiple independent races, like the vulcans, and just use a picture to represent them, and they could have maybe one or two ships. You could also maybe set the Borg as like the drengin and everyone teams up to destroy them. Imagine playing the Federation early in the game you encounter the vulcans, they have research abilities cranked way up, as the game continues you ally with them. They're your allies but still an independent state.

Maybe warp speed could be set up where you first research warp allowing you to travel and gradually each warp level allows you to traverse farther and faster. engines would be warp 1 to warp 10 and dilithium crystal chambers could be life support. warp five could be the standard speed allowing you to get around the galaxy and when you finally reach warp nine ships get around everywhere incredibly fast. to speed the game up in the end, you could research warp ten allowing you to go everywhere instantly!

BradenK I like the way you think, I mentioned that one before, battle of the series just for fun, think it would be cool and once both projects are done not too much work

Braden, email me again sooon, i never got a response to the last email, and i'm sure han or myself could help you out with the ship conversion

I'm confused, is this stuff "It will have over 60 ships to use.... 6 different major races.... Music... New Screens.... and more!" What will be in it when it releases this week? or just what you intend to eventually have in it?

The stuff he listed is what the pre-release will have.

Def looking forwardto this one   

PS - The bottom pic is of Han891 getting his $#%@ kicked by a fleet of Intrepids....

I just got it installed.
Your Anomolies.xml file gives an error in my xml reader, by the way. Something about missing or incorrect tags. It seemed to work fine in the game, though.

I played it for 15 minutes, then had to shut it down due to brain freeze. That constantly repeating Star Trek theme for background music drove me batty. A little variety sure would be nice. Something that flows, instead of barks, if you know what I mean.
The original Star Trek movie soundtrack had some very good music that could be used for the background music.

Nice job so far, though. I have only looked at the Romulan ships so far, and they look great. Can't wait to see the other styles.

Is there a way to change the race names of the ship styles in the setup screen? They still say Altarian, etc.

All in good time my friends. I currently play with no music, or just wait until it switches from the Star Trek theme myself....There's actually a total of 25 Star Trek songs in the first release I believe, I'll check with Knight on that one

Instant Download. Great work and thanks again.

Please visit our forum and vote for your favorite race! Top raters more likely to make it into the next release!

TC44 we can but that would mess with the core files, any additions are best done through the mod folder that way you won't run the risk of messing up any files.
