I've been working on a little something for a while now, and it seems a shame that nobody else has been benefitting from it. So, what I have finished so far may be found
here.
On a smaller note,
this leads to a mission that one of my friends created, and wishes to release.
Here is a modified version of the ship table FS2 uses. All I've done is update the tech room descriptions for some of the ships. Note that the updates take into account Capella and all, so you may wish to finish the main FS2 campaign before downloading this.
Both the campaign and the mission are able to be run with normal FS2.
The modified ship table requires FS_Open as normal FS2 cannot handle the increased size of the file.
All comments are welcome. Thank you.
