Greetings.
Some tidbits:
The new Star Trek mod will include 3 additional main races in addition to the 7 that were originally expected in the TNG mod, they are:
Breen
Species 8472
Tholians
Atrocities and I will be working on creating specific racial techs and characteristics for these empires. The website will be updated this weekend with the details for each of the new additions. Even more fun, is the addition of Atrocities' neutral races that will be individualized to really flesh out the universe!
The mod has no truly specific timeline, although most of the ships are from the TNG era, most of the Tech tree really starts in the Enterprise era. I suppose an ultimate goal would be create a succession of ships to represent each era - but let's not bite off more than we can chew.
You may have noticed that I have referred to the combined mod simply as the 'Star Trek Mod'. I think we'll stick with that name since it's easy and won't be confused with any other mod - minus Geo's effort from some time ago - but that's not a big deal.
That's all for now, thanks for interest and more importantly your patience!
