Click where is says Download and place files in their appropriate folders located:

I'm assuming you are talking about my ships since you are on my other posting:

All these ships are available here: Federation and Empire Ships

In Library click on DOWNLOAD next to the listing and put the files in their appropriate folders found in: C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor\

I got more ships coming.

Dang it repeated myself.

I did that they are in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor

Are there any options in game I ne4ed to set? I've tried everything...
Thanks in advance.

Well if you put the ship style file in the correct folder start the game with either the Federation or Terran Alliance ship styles and as you get the appropriate techs researched they will appear.

Update: I just erased my ships on my computer and reloaded the ones from this website and they work with the Terran or Federation ship styles.

I will point out that I got confused at first because when I selected the ship style I only saw stock freighter/colony ships.
This was with the Gorn/Romulan And Klingon packs. Not sure with the feds though.
Maybe the OP is only basing it on the ship selection screen?

Probably. I use to have a custom colony ship that was added to my Fed pack but I've since dumped it as I'm working on an another Federation Colony ship which will be available in a future update. Why I didn't include the old one is that it used parts available only through using a Mod. I don't want anyone to have to use a mod to use my ships.

The old colony ship would appear on screen as the Federation Colony ship on the Shipstyle selection during race setup. But the new one will come soon.

Anyway here is a sneak peak at the Kzinti coming soon:

Problem I'm having with the fed ship set is that in the style selection it appears as the terran. When I enter the game the 3 base ships are from the terran style and the ships that appear in the template area of the shipyeard are terran.

@Tilarium.
With the Fed ships, you have to research up to advanced or Superior hulls before you see them. This may not be the case with the version 2 ( been too busy to use yet ), but it was with the V1

@AF.... Got to love TOS/SFB Kzinti... In fact, SFB Kzinti hulls, never actually looked that good!! Too plain and featureless for me. That hull looks great. Can't wait to put them to use.

ya me two, i can't what to cruse them in fleet battles.
let the Man-Kzin wars begin.

This is an issue even I have with. The problem is that when selecting custom shipsytles during race set up what it does is set up the AI ships, not yorus. For example, and use cheats on this experiment. Pick the Federation ships and pick 1 enemy on a tiny map. Give that enemy the Klingo ship syles. Now instead of playing the game look for his ships. You'll notice that his "flagship" is a BIRD OF PREY. What the heck!! And if you picked the same style for you, you'd get a Drengin ship. Now there is a way to fix this at this forum page:

Making a player-usable custom ship style

Currently if it worked like it was suppose to anyway, the player choosing the Federation style would only get the Republic class ship as his "flagship" the Colony ship and miner ship would be unchanged as they are not in the pack. They are due to be added in a future expansion pack that will include the missing ships with updated shipstyle file.

I haven't played the actual game in awhile as I've been using my little free time I have to build ships. When I'm done I will create a Federation and Empire mod that includes race pics, more logos, minor races too. This mod will include the "Player-usable custome ship styles for all the races.

Thanks for your paitence everyone.

Also note that once I load a file to the library I erase every trace of those old files off my computer and then reload it from the library to make sure they work like they are suppose to. This way I can edit it and then resubmit it before it gets approved.

Ok guys, received a lot of feedback, most of it good. The rest are complaints that the ships don't appear right or they aren't showing up when the game starts(they are not suppose to . . . yet).

So since I like this stuff and I like you guys. (Other forums are full of @$$holes). I will be going back to the Federation ships; Klingons; Romulans; Gorn, and will add Fighters, Colony ships, Mining Ships, and Merchants. Also the ships will appear correctly when you start the game. And I will announce when they get uploaded on this forum. So for example the start up ships at the beginning of playing the Federation will be:

Republic Class (Survey/Flagship)
Edward Class (Colony Ship)
Prospector Class (Mining Ship)

Fighter(s) and Merchant ship classes will appear correctly as well. When complete please delete all other Federation ships/templates/and style files you have. The old ones will not work with the new shipstyle file that will be included.

Future races such as Kzinti which is almost done but now because of this delayed will include all these features.

I love your ships...great stuff and looking forward to your mod. One question, are you going to use the game sounds for weapons or are you going to try and find some weapon effects that more closely resemble those from the show and movies?

Glad you like them. There will be more.

At this time I have no intentions to play with SFX or graphics. For future updates visit: Fed and Empire Mod Forum
