Hey Captain, thumbs up on the Akira! That is one thing I love about your ship models. They really make your TNG mode unique and sort of give the mod some of its own life too it.
Kinda reminds me of the Airbrush drawn pictures the SFB use to do for their game. I can't wait what type of designs you are going to do to fill in spots for the Dominion, Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians.
I agree with Capt. Peter, Gas Giant races in SE4 have a severe advantage in Storage size. I personally think most races should only colonize the moons of Gas Giants instead (after all, the presures (and Static Electricity) of a Gas Giant is so great for humanoid races, I can't see it being practical to setup colonies their). I somewhat disagree with making some races have different atmospheres then other races. Most Humaniod races we see in Star Trek (with some exceptions like the Borg) breath oxygen. I can see what some people say that it makes star systems have a variety of races in them, but why? In Star Trek, usually only 1 maybe 2 planets in an entire Solar System can effectively support a large colony of millions of people. Most of the other planets would only be used for outPosts or mining operations. This is just my opinion though.
Great too see such improved progress with your mod man.
