Universal Shipyards down?

ZTime · #1 March 8th, 2001, 11:55 PM

Greets, all:

I just thought I'd download a few new shipsets today, but I've found that the Universal Shipyards are down (at both the cjb.net and tripod.com domains).
Anyone know what's up?
Much obliged for any info.

Hmmm...

Total drag.

Just when I finally got around to start modding SE, too. I spent a few hours Last night adding sounds to the Components file (after using Tampa's Sound Mod as a base, though)... Now I wanted some new ships and races.
Oh well... hopefully it will be back soon!
Thanks for the reply.

Seems thaat tripod has gone through a fit of enforcing its user agreements (I guess they don't like artwork). A member of a gaming group I belong to got the boot by them for "Violation of the terms of use agreement"; he had used it as a respository for his gaming artwork.

Bummer... I just found this site the other day. Haven't had time to download any of the custom races yet.

Is there any other good sites out there where I can get custom races, besides the Star Wars/Star Trek sites?

Thanks,

Questor

Late:

Whoa! Worked like a charm. Hadrian noted that it had been down for a bit, but looks like it's up and rockin' now.
Much obliged for the heads up!

Regards,

Z.

Ahem...

Must be all the glue I've been sniffin'...
I mistook "Hyperion Base" for the "Universal Shipyards". Duh... the latter's still down as of Sunday, 3/11/01.

Regards,

Z
