Does anyone know when we'll all be able to enjoy these ships in the game?

My god, those ships are so awesome, I think I just found my fix till SEV. Keep up the GREAT work

For another huge hull design...

It's not a ship that was featured in any of the movies or TV series, but it is in the Star Trek: Armada PC game: the Premonition.

At the least, it's definitely a huge hull--at least the size of a Sovereign.

There's the galaxy refit:

It's just the galaxy with another nacelle on it. A lot of the medium or large hulls could get bumped up.

What you could do is set the tech tree so you have to research the scale required to build the ship, then add some advanced ship propulsion technology or something else to limit what period the class is able to be used.

Hey if you are gonna make a bunch of ships, and then just dump everything, don't leave everybody hanging. Just release the things already, ether as x files, or the max models so someone else can work on them.

It's really been long enough already, specially since they aren't even been worked on.

No, he never released them (to my knowledge). Very unfortunate though, they seemed very promising. Maybe he will release them at some point but seeing as how there are 2 ST mods now and the fact that probably every ship he did will more then likely be in one of the mods there really is no point for him to release them ever. (assuming he ever comes back to it)

i will be using as many of these as i can as i am a trekkie, but for more ships i suggest you use this site. "www.ditl.org" as a Star Trek Database it is the best and most comprehensive that i have found so far. pictures for many ships
as for a specific ship suggestion, i suggest the New Orleans class Frigate, or the Defender class Destroyer. Both are high on my list of favorite ships.

Brian "Spleeze" disappeared around may of 06. I helped beta test the Prometheus model in-game, but I'm not sure if I have the model around anymore, other then that model to me, he didn't release anything else.

*PPPPFFFTTTTTTH* (spits liquid beverage out in complete shock)

Spleeze! Dammit, man, after a year I still want these ships!

Welcome back (again).

The ships look incredible, I'd love to be able to use them.

These ships really look good.
Would be great if you release them spleeze_.

Hah! Hey boys (& girls)!

Nice to see that I'm still welcome!

Ok, well in that case I guess I had better get back to work on these ships! Sorry for being so out of touch. The past many months have been very busy for me, with the starting (and eventual selling) of my software business, and having become newly employed for a New York based company, I haven't found much time left for the ships, much less getting to play GalCiv! I get less then one game of GalCiv in every two / three month, and that's just wrong.

Actually, what would be best is if someone could collaborate with me to get these ships into some sort of "mod" structure. I started the research and building the XML files, but I would rather not have to fiddle with the modding stuff if I can avoid it and it would help me get these ships out the door more quickly. Also, it would be really helpful if someone were available to get my ships in their current raw form, and do some performance testing with them. They won’t be in any mod form yet, so you will have to know enough about GalCiv config files to put them into the game yourself, as I don’t remember exactly what was involved, so I am unable to write a tech manual, but it was not all that hard as long as you are somewhat tech savy.

Basically, I want to release what I have (the ships listed as “finished”) in some user-friendly form, but I can’t really invest much time into it myself. The ship models, textures and mount points themselves are setup and ready to go, but I need a modder / tester to help me out. So, if you fit into either of those positions, give me a shout, and we’ll move things forward.

And now for my obligatory Plug…

I am an Adobe Certified ColdFusion Expert looking for ColdFusion projects, or people wishing to have web applications build around an existing business concept. I am currently building a large scale web application to completely automate the process flow for a Law firm, including automated document generation, task delegation, etc. If you have a business for which an automated and structured process manager would be valuable (almost every service business) then drop me a line!

Cheers folks!
