I have been lurking here for a while now, and recently desided to post. I have downloaded all of the Star Trek ship sets, and discovered that non of them are Cannon. I am heavily dissappointed by this, and feel that I must express my displeasure at the designer of these sets, Atrocities.

Re: Star Trek ship sets

Greetings.

I am currently developing a Star Trek Mod for Space Empires. One of the things I wanted to do was create my own 3D ships for the game, of which I already have done a few. Let me tell you, to build such a set is overwhelming...do you not realize there are about 30 different designs in a normal set? Do you know how long it would take a person to build that? How about coming up with something new to fill all the holes left by Star Trek canon? If you are do disappointed with what is availible, why don't you try your own?

And actually, why wouldn't Voyager be a destroyer-sized ship? It's easily about 3 times (or more) smaller in volume than a Galaxy class ship.

Atrocities has down fine with his sets and has done far more for this game than most others on this board. I applaud his efforts.

I used to follow Star Trek forums...but I can't stand them. I'm never seen so called fans so critical of their supposedbly favourite show. "This sucks...that sucks...the movie's going to suck" - ugh...if you don't like it then who cares. Do something else!

Re: Star Trek ship sets

ManofWar, welcome to the forum.

Personally, I am glad you have seen what little patience we have with flamers on this forum.

I agree with Q and Atrocities, if you, as you apparently state, have the definitive opinion on what is canon for Star Trek and what is not, then I suggest you prepare your own ship sets and share these with the rest of the gamers.

If you cannot, then please just shut up and let those who do/can get on with it for their own enjoyment as much as for any others.

Unless you can prove you have the copyright for Star Trek, then I do not see any legal right for you to tell Atrocities ehat he can and cannot do with these sets. As he said, his site contains an appropriate disclaimer and I would advise you to tell paramount, if only because they will probably tell you to go away and come back after you have gone through puberty.

Guys, this is the first flame I have seen on this forum. I hope this is not the way forward.
