I am heartened by the interest expressed by all you guys in seeing ST ships in this mod.
Just to give you guys an idea of what I'm looking for, this is my "ideal" as to how it would look...
PLAYER/NEUTRAL - the Terran DD from the base game would remain as the standard "Merchantman". It has about the right look to it IMO. Freighters would also remain the same. The Terran FG would be carried over as a neutral Gunboat/PT ship.
FEDERATION - approximating the Terran capital ships. The Terran CA ought to be the "Reliant"-class, the BC a ST:TMP era "Enterprise", and the BB the "Excelsior"s.
KLINGONS - FG's (Birds of Prey), and CA's (the ubiquitous and absolutely necessary D-7). Other models and ideas welcome.
ROMULANS - I actually think the Sithrak models would be pretty cool as Romulan ships, but if others have other ideas...
BTW, one intermediate step I have been thinking of is doing a "Beta" release just using stock Starfury models with new names and layouts. That way everyone can see how the game would work, and it would allow
something to get out while any new ship models are being de-bugged.
