I'm on broadband, but I know when I access it from slower connections, it tends to take a bit longer than I'd like. Plus, breaking it up is better so the user doesn't have to scroll all the time .

I'd rather scroll than have to load an excessive number of pages.

It'd be instantaneous, if I could spell that word correctly!

Kwok, mimimizing the number of clicks necessary is often preferable to making sure each page loads instantaneously. That is why most forums let you view a huge number of Posts per page, for people like me that would rather not click 8 million times.

Scrolling is far preferable to clicking through multiple browser windows, because I don't read as fast as the text downloads in a long window, but I do read faster than a new connection can be set up for a new page to be loaded.

FYI just in case you did not know, Will is back in the hospital again.

Also, and this one hurts, his new pc died, and with it, the 3d images for the New Dominion,Ferengi, and Cardassian ship sets.

I have not told him yet, I do not want to added to his worries. Rest assured, there was no back up.

Let's all hope that Will gets well quickly and is back with us soon!!!

It's unfortunate about the data loss, but lets hope that its recoverable!

The new patch is out, so that means some adjustments are to be made. I'm aiming for Saturday for the website update, which should include details of that sort.

As you can see, I've been throwing up some new pages over the Last day, albeit lacking some good content which will follow shortly. There are a few missing links which will also be addressed just as soon as I can get to them (mostly in the treknology section). However, there are some new images up, so it might be worthwhile to check out.

I still can't believe I'm getting about 100 hits a day! I guess I'm not the only one who wanders the internet visiting the same obscure sites all the time!

I'm also looking for suggestions for some tech areas for the latest race additions, these are the directions I'm thinking of:

Tholian - Crystalline
Breen - Tad of organic
Species 8472 - Biological + tad of telepathic

I have a number of idea which I won't stick here right now, but they fall into those categories to some degree.

The Star Trek mod also has its own forum thanks to Fyron, here is the link: Star Trek Mod Forum

Feel free to post there and even create new topics.

In regards to the new release schedule, it's difficult to pinpoint a time due to recent circumstances. I keep everyone updated for sure.

Thanks for all the requests to be beta testers, be assured I have added you all to my list. I'll keep you posted on any new developments!

Thanks again.

Hey Captain, as for tech for these races, I think I might have a couple of ideas for the Tholians.

Granted, you probably want to base the Tholians of of what we know from TNG, but the SFB rules for the Tholians where really interesting for weaponry.

Is it ok to make some suggestions for special weapons build by the Tholians from SFB to this mode? I don't know if SE4 will be able to copy exactly how these weapons behave, but it can be close and give the Tholians a unique way of fighting.

Kwok, the old site layout looked a lot better than this new one.....
