Thanks for those.

I'll probably call the yellow unamed system Epsilon Indi

The other two will probably be Ross 154 and Ophiuchi A

Here's 6 screenshots from my new laptop.
I can use the HTL models on this and keep decent framerates :D

Questions:
1)Does Auriga have 2 fighterbays?
2) Does EA have super Carrier (I really liked that Telemus model)?
3) Can we finnaly see Vasudan SD/Flagship screenshot?
4) Screenshots number 4,5,6 - what is the name of player ship? It's looks interesting, any screenshots?
5) Screenshot number 6, those "lines" are beams or missile trails?
(If beams then they are ugly).

Edit: two more
6) does it will be possible to fly Vasudan ships during campaign?
7) same as upper but with EA ships.

Another one (but I afraid that I already know the aswer):
Because there is no ship database could you upload a table file so we could read about those ships??

No as that would give too much away, and most of the tech descriptions need updating anyway.

...so all ship are ready then what is need to be done, I know that you have a FREDing in early stage but what else (Kind a status question about icons, ship icons, ship images etc.)?

Do you still use some FS2 stuff for shivans(Rakshasa, Moloch) and others(Perseus Adv doesn't count) ?

I just thought of a question. Why did the GTVA let them get control of half their territory?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

It's simple, those  systems are backwater with little or no defence/industry, If they let EA conquer their Capital them those systems were a piece of cake.

Shield icons are done
loadouts and selection icons are generated by the game and so our ones were removed

briefing icons could probably use a quick update once the model list is 100% final
tech descriptions need updating
Shivan beams need finalising

Except for the Arcadia, Rakshasa, Moloch and Sathanas the rest are mostly freighters that are used. I'm considering adding more of the FS2 freighters right now.

Probably more, mission progress has been slow lately.

I could have the modpack completed pretty soon if needed to though.

Here's a teaser pic of one of two new Shivan ships I made recently:

This one was the first, but I think the other one looks better than this one :D

I bet that it's a new Lilith or Scylla.

Well it did remind me of the Scylla/Abel once I finnished it. It doesn't replace the Lilith as that's right next to it in the shot.

Is it just me or does that Auriga look like it's been assimilated by the Borg? :p

A bit of both. It has different arms and slighlty different maps.

Looks about corvette-size against the Lilith (taking into account distance difference). Sathanas arms suggest three beam cannons (likely crusier caliber), large central spike at front suggests larger beam cannon (probably destroyer caliber). I'd say its either a replacement for the shivan artillery ship from R1, or a corvette designed for tackling enemy destroyers.
