You've been here long enough to know the answer...
Ever since I found Azonic's site I've been obsesed with a Trek mod. Greywolf was the first to offer his ships (thank you) but Omni's has since replaced those (sorry GW!).
Next was Carl's Borg Cube & Torpedo (which was the "Rosetta Stone" for all the other race's torps! You the man, er, Shivan Carl!)
I have a back log of literaly hundreds of ships I secured permission for (a lot more still pending) over the last 3 years that need more than what I can do. - translation I am not a modler/texturer)... TC's are enourmous undertakings but I think I've done quite well so far regardless, and the campaign has morphed accordingly And I might add gotten much more ambitious as that is only logical (like4/5 seperate vp's, 1 for each era-campaign)
The Ludi files over at Sector game was a great boost BUT many of those ships were ported & RELEASED without permission/credits and I almost got in big trouble with the OWNER of BC.com cause of the USS Scorpion posts I made (Which Trashman turreted for me in the successful phaser test to see IF we could make Trek type phasers with no visible turret as if it came from the strip on the texture - we succeeded wonderfully)...
From that point on I have been EXCEEDINGLY careful about what I post (or don't) and nothing will be released till at least the first campaign is done (TMP Kirk's era). Nothing may ever get released as my eyesight is going bye bye (health insurance still pending, but if I end up losing my job I lose the health insurance to get the operatins. catch-22) and I am pretending nothing is wrong and still working on the mods regardless...
SO far I have been very lucky in that only Raven Night has denied me use of models (so all BC2 designed materials/ships will NOT be touched). So you will see no future post of that USS Scorpion Class or any other BC2 ship ported that I am AWARE of as I have to keep searching for those designs I liked but have no idea where Ludi got them from. He raided every Trek game (Hmm sounds familiar
), BUT MANY authorized ports for those games came from BC2 originally..It's a MESS!! What I think is ok may actually be NOT so I have to tread on eggshells or I will inadvertantly piss off some really nice people.
If this turned into a rant I apologise...
