dont worry about source material for me. i also have that crappy star wars game. in some ways it was ok but overall, it was really lame. but i also have star trek birth of the federation. another mediocre game. see, adding in race pictures and changing the names, thats nothing. i mean it is super easy. the reason a star trek mod would be simple is because there are so many races to mod. you know fed romulan klingon cardasian borg blah blah. take the star wars universe. well, theres the empire, and the republic. other than that, maybe you could make one for the trade federation. your right the technologies carry over well too, youd just want to change the names for aesthetic purposes. in my opinion the best part though would be the fighters. think about it. both sides could research fighter squadrons, if someone good with computers could go in there and make the fighters look like xwings and tie fighters thats all youd really need then change the fighter upgrades for the names in technology start with headhunters work up to awings and bwings. as for the ships thatd be even easier with all the star wars ships. i have the big book of star trek ships thingie and ya theres a lot of ships. but i have zero skill at povray or movray, which is why we need somebody with good computer drawing skills to make the actuall ship mods. i mean there a huge communities of modders for space empires iv and star trek armada! where are the modders for starships unlimited hmmmm? inserting the race pictures in is easy too. anyone with the game, i highly recomend reading the readme about that working your way through it then adding in your own face pictures and races. changes the whole thing around. hell, you could even add your own picture in if you wanted too. ha. :D
