I updated the UCP Star Trek ship sets including the Non Star Trek set, the Illuminati.

I am also working on a new web site that will feature images of the sets. Here are two of the pages I am currently working on.

I downloaded your Federation shipset and have begun to make some changes to it. I've collected some really good overhead pictures for many of the Federation ships including:

Nova Class (Escort)
Sabre Class (Frigate)
Steamrunner Class (Destroyer)
Intrepid Class (Destroyer 2)
Excelsior Class (Light Cruiser)
New Orleans Class (Light Cruiser 2)
Nebula Class (Cruiser)
Ambassador Class (Cruiser)
Akira Class (Battlecruiser)
Prometheus Class (Battlecruiser 2)
Galaxy Class (Battleship)
Sovreign Class (Dreadnought)

I hate the Miranda Class (but I guess I could add it...)

I've also collected some different oblique shots for some of these ships as well (for the portraits).

Here's an idea for the units like troops and weapon platforms. There's a game called Star Trek: New Worlds - it's some Trek game that features these kinds of units. Maybe you could get a hold of them and use them in the set, since they'll go well with the set...

Good Luck

Let's not forget the Defiant Class (Attack Cruiser)...

I've scaled most of the overhead mini pics, so that there's more of a difference between the escort and dreadnought...

Stop that! Every time I burn a CD with all my misc. files you put out another update of these shipsets! When will they be done?

Oh well, when the next update comes around I'll download the latest set at that time.

Maybe we've got enough material to put out a CD of supplemental ship sets and mods? Of course, put these sets on a retail CD and we'd probably be open for all sorts of 'intellectual property' problems. sigh...

[Atrocities]

I don't plan on releasing any more updates for these sets.

CS, send me your set when its done. I look forward to seeing it.

[CaptSpoogy]

Will - sure.

Does anyone know anyone who has that Star Trek: New Worlds game?

Who are the Illuminati anyway? They have a strange resemblance to the Breen, a mysterious Star Trek race featured in the Last years of Deep Space Nine, who were rumored to prefer very cold planets.

[Atrocities]

The Illuminati is a race that I based upon a race of humans that attempted to take over the universe in a book by Harry Harrison, The Stainless Steel Rat Gets Drafted.

The Breen were developed also from this same book. Since I could not find enough Breen looking ships, (A thing that I regret) I opted to make the Illuminati.

The name Illuminati (as well as the race portrait) came from the game Deus Ex.

Hope that answers your question.

Hey Atrocities nice job! Just wondering do you want to create a Species 8472 and Vulcan sets? Some of the stuff is already done on Warp's Nine site (ships/ai for the demo). Well, anyways, thanks for the hard work.

There's also a very strange set of books called "The Illuminatus Trilogy" by Robert Anton Wilson.

I think the Illuminati is sort of a super "secret society" that makes the Masons and Shriners look like college fraternities...
