Shadows gives much greater control over how ships are built, so perhaps now it'd work.


Yeah, I've just noticed that you can specify the number of components for each class in a design template text file. That looks much better.

However, the problem was always to do with the way the game scales each image. Since the Borg cube uses the most opaque pixels possible in an image, the game scales it much smaller than a ship with lots of transparent pixels in it's image.

I think the ship needed to be around 2500 in size to look remotely like the size it should. With a ship scaling factor of 2.0, I believe that's around tech level 6 or 7 (can't check right now) to allow for that size construction.

Well, anyway. I hope I can make something work this time!

Status: offline 		I still plan to talk to Elliot about the ship scaling further Igard. Even with the
new design templates the scaling issue still exists. Hopefully he'll have time right
after he puts out the new customization guide. Really would like to have the Borg cubes
in Shadows in their appropriate size.

Did these ever get updated? Thanks!

Status: offline 		Hi AstroCat, I had to squash the research breakthrough image to get it to display properly in game. The original researchbreakthrough.png is an image of a lightbulb which is a different shape, so to fit the little window properly, this image has to be stretched out.

I think the construction_stalled.png was added for Shadows. At least, it wasn't there when I made these. I will update at some point.

The blue background will be removed. It's just to help me draw.

You can all tell what it is though. Right?

Oh the messages look a lot better than the vanilla graphics, I'm using them as my base in all my games for sure.

Thing is I dont think it would be too hard for the developer to tweak that.

Dont know if this as been raised with the developer?

It would make finacial sense as doing so and allowing a Ent through to DS9 mod would basicaly make the best grand Strategy startrek game out there and porentialy bring ina few hundred more customers.

Status: offline 		Hello potuyit'

Unfortunately, Igard has been busy with other ventures this year. He has graciously
allowed me to temporarily take over the tasks of upgrading his Star Trek mods for
the Kirk and Picard Eras to Shadows and ultimately DW Universe as well.

It is my goal to have both of those upgraded first, and soon. Then next will be the Spock
Era and I will see if he wants the Archer Era created. I must say though that I am not going
to put a timeline on this because I'm busy testing DW Universe. I will say that I will try to
expidite having them done soon and will upload them to Igard for his blessing.

Romulan Ale sent to Igard's secret coordinates (Can't let DATA find out)
just MIGHT ease the Spock Era up a notch. Just a thought!

As Ed says, we'll try and put something out before Universe launches. I am sorry that all this has taken so long.

Thanks Ed, but I think that big picture CyclopsSlayer posted has alerted Data. He's back on the hunt for cargobays to plunder!

Would be nice to see what you guys come up with for as a model for the Fed Carrier in this era.

Igard is the original creator of the main Star Trek era mods for DW jsolo. I've assisted with testing,
build modifications and most characters. But he deserves the credit for it all. (Darn Romulans!)


There is a Federation shipset with all the Star Trek Era mods, and variants of the Sovereign class
ships have been used for the Carrier Class.

I'm having a blast playing the game. Wish I would have know about this game a couple year ago.
