Point being that a default set made by SD to integrate into the game itself would be a more "comfortable" solution than if one goes the personal way, makes it on a local PC and builds whatever they want on their setups.

Presently, just going from one regular style to the next adds a lot of variety to the options we have. But i'm much more after the fundamental 3D shapes along with its very own texturing schema(s). Modifiable and controllable, the better. Genuine stuff made by SD, even more so.

And, since the planets surfaces rendering gets to have a slick system of flip_join_gap to sort-of randomize results, it would be possible to apply the same principles to the new set of shapes above and what else; providing huge editing power to the design steps of any given ships, hulls, fleets, etc.

Well there are no tiny ships, freighters, or spore ships in this pack.

No?
I have a nice freighter S-000.
Have to find a hoster to show you a screen dump.

Yes I used the same ship design in my own games, however I've since created the Ptolemy-class tug vessel from ST notes. I find it looks great transporting starbase construction materials.

It will be included in a futre update.

As for your problem, anyone reading this, I need to know. Does anyone else have this problem that beserko is having?

Wow, I really like the Fanged-God Class Battleship, looks just like it. Excellent work.

Well I just rechecked the Apollo class ships in the Ships folder and shiptemplates folder. There is only 1 in both folders so I don't see how you are getting two showing up.

Did you have the original version of my ships downloaded (seeing that its 2nd Edition) on the library now? There shouldn't be but maybe there is a shadow of a previous design of same name.

So I recommend two solutions. Delete all the Fed ships off your computer and reload them. Or probably the most simpliest, just delete one of the apollo ships. I recommend deleting the one with lasers on it since they are all suppose to be empty hulls, except for the MacArthur class I left the components on there on purpose (not that I don't expect people to change them).

Question for you AF if you have a second...I noticed that your ships take on whatever color is selected for your empire....if I have custom ships I use, how can I make them change colors like yours do? Does it matter what file they go into..ie..ships in my games?

You'd probably need to do unique tech trees for it, and not every race every weapon.

Actually I already made the Ptolemy class. It will be the Constructor ship as it will carry the supplies to build space stations.

Excellent suggestion by the way.

Good I'm glad it worked for you finally.

Knew it wasn't my fault

But anyway this has inspired me to disregard an expansion pack and simply release a 3rd Edition of the ship packages to include not only the "cargo" type classes and fighters but a player useable shipstyle so the game can start with the right ships.

Figured out what I can do with my spare time at work . . . since I don't like working anyway. While I will continue to work on the ships at home while I'm here at work I will be working on custom tech trees for all the races of this mod.

Weapon and defenses will work very differently for these races. As such it may be unbalanced to use them against NORMAL Galciv2 races and games. You may want to employ them only with Federation and Empire Games.

I've already worked it out in my head how to make this work except perhaps the Andromedan Invaders. Tholian Web is going to be tricky to but I do have a little idea how to make it work. Oh and no cloaking device for Romulans. For my way around that see my comments here: Romulan Star Empire Ships

Primarily the changes will be to weapons and defenses. For example there will be no mass driver and armor in these tech trees.

Lasers type/Phasors will still be defended by shields.

Projectile weapons will be split into two categories.
Torpedoes (plasma/photon) are resisted by ecm
Drones(missiles) are resisted by point defenses and tractor beams(maybe)

Yes I know the current tech trees show ECM and Point Defenses as the same category but trust me for this they will be seperated.

And the way I have it imagined it would be cost effective and advantageous to actual use multiple type weapons systems. So you may actually want phasors and photon torpedoes or perhaps phasors and disruptors or whatever race you are choosing. I only hope the AI sees this as well and follows suit.

This is all in order to get the true feel of the universe these races live in.

give the romulans the super warrior abillity.

Where are the 'buggy' (hint, hint... reproduce the effect, indirectly!) invisible ships when we REALLY need them? I'd say!

How about, putting an animated (We DO have such things now) sphere which would surround the entire ships - with some sort of scan-lines interlacing stuff to mimic the cloak field!

See, anything IS possible; even for a single Minor race.
