Trek ships!!

What is your list of biggest problems?

I will have zero time to work on it for the next month and a half, but once this term is over I'll have some free time.

I just hate the converting job. If you have all the images ready I can do the layouts. That's fun. Though it may not be so accurate to the serie but Google is a good way to find information.

I hope that all the engine glows and such are done because I really can't get them right.

Anyway, I can help at the layots.

for engines glows you need to change the X,Y,Z varibles for engine hardpoints in SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt

For example I have the following for the Miranda

code:

Now the Mirandas Warp Nacelles glow blue, not as good as the actual thing, but it has to do
