Ha Ha.

What ZeroAdunn is referring to is that I don't think I'll be working on this mod any further. However, I think I might be able to convince Magnum357 (who is working on his own mod) to pick up most of the pieces I have scattered around.

[Edit Starts Here]

Honestly, I no longer have the time to work on the mod as needed and deserved. School, work, and life in general have all since required my full attention since September started.

Perhaps pieces of this mod will filter into other mods. There was some interesting ideas...who knows I might even do something with it myself later on when things have calmed down.

Sorry

PS - Zero - the "other" thing is on hold for now too.

Oh man, that is too bad Caption. I was looking forward to it too. Yes, I had planned to make a Star Trek mode (based mostly off of SFB) but I put it on the back burner aswell. I too am in School, but I'm off this semester because I'm on academic probation. I suppose I could have a change of heart and try to do it again, but my plans are going to be pretty extensive. Also, I haven't learned HTML yet so I really don't know how to make a website let alone find a place where I could put the mode for free.

In my SFB mode, I was planning to make it "multi-era" where you would have TOS type ships (like what SFB uses and what you see in the original Television show) then use ships similar to what you see in ST 1 through 6 on the movies. Then uses ships like what you see in TNG era. But because of all these attacks from Trekkies about stuff being "Canon" (its happening with a lot of Star Trek stuff now on the internet) I'm a litte affraid of using pictures of Star Trek ships lately. I was thinking about making Star Trek ships that look similar to the what we see in Star Trek now, but with variations so that people couldn't attack my work.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't finish the project Captain, but I understand. For people who haven't done much with Moding SE4, it can be a very time consuming task. Heck, I'm still not al that familar with a lot of the features in the Data files (like the AI for example) so on some aspects I'm a novice at it.

[Timstone]

Darn, that's very unfortunate. I really looked forward to it. I hope somebody has the courage/time to complete it.

[minipol]

yeah, that's very unfortunate but i can understand it. it takes a lot of work to do a good mode. i wondered if it wouldn't be a lot less time consuming to just take the shipsets of atrocity, take the ai from TDM and use that as a base for a star trek mod?

[jimbob]

Oh, that really is too bad.
Just out of curiosity, approximately what % of the mod is done, and even more importantly, what % of each area (AI, tech trees, components, facilities, graphical art, other areas) is 'complete'.

I'm just wondering if we could split up the work amongst those of us who would love to see this mod come to light, and then have the good Captain act as advisor/director.

Honestly Captain, there are tons of people working on the B5 project, but it seems like you've been toiling fairly alone. I'd be willing to help YOU, and we could set a timeline (I'm thinking 3-4 mo. with 4 to 5 helpers) for completion, with various check points along the way.

While I can't do AI, I can do just about anything else (just very very slowly )

[Brennan]

That really does suck. I do understand though. I would love to help if people wanted to try a alternate simpler mod that could be slowly upgaded.

[Atrocities]

Kwok, your efforts will be missed horribly.

Thanks for trying.

I agree M357, by the way, your one of the oldest member I know... From the old SEIV Forum... The Fans of Trek have been attacking in abundance as of late. That is one reason why I developed my own ships for many of the races I am using, and used SFB ships for the others. SFB images are well deversifited, and the authors, if known, simply want you to post credit for their work if you use it. People such as Ghost have given permission to use his images, and others have as well. Hell I think even a few of them play the game themselves and are happy that they don't have to make sets because they are already out.

If you make the image, then no one, not even paramount, can ***** about its use.

********
Could you send me what you have on components and facilities. I have been working on my own mod, (The Atrocities Mod) and would like to incorp, if ok with you and M357, into my mod.

The mod could is designed to use the ship sets that I have developed with unique racial traits, individual techs, and combined tech for each race.

It is an over whelming task to say the least, and any help is appreciated.

I hope that you will continue to post here, and such.

***** And One Last favor if you would be so kind C Kwok. Could you, if you decide to keep it up, post a link to my new site in your links section. Thanks if you do, and I understand if you don't. *****

Best wishes

Atrocities

Atrocities:

That sounds fine. Just ask me what ideas/items you are interested in and I'll send you the components. I don't have too much stuff organized and it might be confusing if I sent in its current form.

It is a time consuming task...

That's great Atrocities! I wish I had the time and capabilities to help. And for JimBob, fantastic idea! I really hope this mod will see the light of day.

[ZeroAdunn]

Hey Kwok, could I get all the files you have so far?
