[Syf]

Thanks. I was starting to think no one ever noticed.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Definatly, and you're doing a great job of it too

I second that nomination. I think you guys are fantasic, and I can not wait to see what 2 peoples imaginative minds have created regarding the story line and plot.

 

[Syf]

We will do our best not to disappoint.

At the very least, this mod has hundreds of original ships and stations...

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

:Y Hundreds!!! :Y Original stock doesn't even have that many!!!

 

[Syf]

I haven't actually counted the exact number of models, but it's over 200 plus. All made custom for this mod.

 

[Majestic]

I did a quick count and it will be over 250 when completed.

 

[Syf]

That's not counting the endless supply of rejected models. Both Majestic and I go over each model with a fine tooth comb. I make them, then we sometimes decide to redo this part or that. Some of the more reworked models easily have been replaced 6 or more times. That means back to the drawing board, and a new or updated model. The last model I did, has been revised 3 times, hence there are 4 models from it. Now, if one wants to include all those rejects, then we are talking we have made over a thousand models in relation to this mod.

 

[Majestic]

Indeed and may of the not so successful designs actually make their may into become map units. I have actually a few ideas for some of them rolling around in my head.

Then one must remember or the research pods for the research stations, the map units and campaign fleets that one will see when playing the campaign. I have for the past two days been going through various sites for designs for vessels that will appear in the campaign for one or more races.

 

[Syf]

And the next model is already pending texturing... They keep coming and coming and coming.

Some days, I feel like the Energizer Bunny of Modding... Some days.

Spoiler: those that don't know who or what the energizer bunny is

Luke, those are not my batteries..... Well, don't stop, or change your batteries. I still can't wait to see the awesome efforts of two minds joined as one. Question, will one of you start a thread showing us some of the rejected models. Or maybe some of the revamp ones (before and after shots). I think it would be really cool, and I think people would enjoy seeing the other side of you guys (your mistakes)

 

[Syf]

Well we will think about it. Some of the problem with that is a lot of the rejects are related to models we don't want to show yet.

 

[Dan1025]

Thats fair enough, maybe some time after the release...

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

I agree with Dan, fair is fair, just as long as you don't make it a "show me yours, I'll show you mine, cause I ain't got none to show.

 

[Syf]

Don't worry, that I would not expect.

I save all models I make, regardless if they are used or not. Never know when one might need one for something. And as proven, Majestic likes to have that. We have "revived" a few models that were not going to be used, then found a use for them.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Sweet, I can't wait to see the ones you guys brought back from the graveyard, (did you have to us a revive spell, and heal all to repair the damage... ) I also can't wait to see the ones you demothballed and recommisioned also.

 

[Syf]

Brought out of mothballs is most appropriate... It's cheaper than building new ships.

Majestic, I thingk we have a spy. (last time we had a spy, he was locked away in a dark dark corner of the multiverse, never to be heard from again.)

 

[Dan1025]

Yeah I keep all my old stuff too, its on one of my harddrives somewhere, every now and then I have a browse through the files and think "hmm, I think I can use this".

Oh, NO!!! They're coming to take me away, They're coming to take me away, quick hide me, hide me!!!!!!

Indeed poor guy, late time we slid him to a parallel dimension never to be heard from again. I can tell you it wasn't a nice dimension either. *Rubs hands together with evil grin*

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Oh, shoot! I'm in trouble!

 

[Dan1025]

Run and hide before they find you lol

 

[Syf]

It's too late... Our satellites have already been locked onto his location. The Klingon shock troops will be there any moment...

I would like to say, the fans of the mod are really in for a treat. Maj and I have been busy working on the mod with renewed momentum do to the increased flow of traffic on the forum threads. Hopefully we will have the next update lined up soon...

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

TMC to Starfleet, TMC to Starfleet. Emergency beamout!!!

I can't wait for the updates. To all the other forumers, I wish to thank you all for your assistance in inspiring are wonderful modders to get off their rears and get back to work!!!

 

[Dan1025]

Yeah I'm definatly looking forward to the update, and yeah TMC anything we can do to help will be more than worth it

 

[Steven Kodaly]

This is the Tal Shiar. Prepare for . . . extraction.
[/Romulan Voice]

About the cloaking device being permissible in canon, I'm almost certain that Section 31 was introduced in connection to Kirk's theft of a Romulan cloaking device in an episode of The Original Series. Would that affect the Soyuz - or even the game plot? After all, who better to warn Starfleet of the presence of a Juggernaut? Or, not warn Starfleet, as the case may be . . .

 

[Majestic]

Unfortunately we have a pretty heafty campaign already going. I just wish A2 had four campaigns like A1 or allowed for one to add more campaigns or increased the amount of missions a campaign could have.

 

[Dan1025]

Yeah that would be good, they cut down the amount of campaigns in A2 because they thought the A1 campaigns were "too long", but I liked the longer A1 campaigns more than the A2 ones anyway.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

So we're only going to play as the federation in campaign mode. Dang it, is there no way to alter the code?

 

[Majestic]

Um no. I said there was three campaigns. I have also posted more than once who you play and in what order. I suggest having a look at the updates thread.
