My concern is that we might end up with so many ships and weapons that we have to drop multiplayer support, and switch to a special FSO build, like Inferno has done.

Maverick, check your mailbox.

Well this is mainly due to number of races which appear in the game - humans, narns, centauri, minbari, brakiri, vree, drazi, interstellar alliance, shadows and vorlons (not to mention smaller factions like raiders or rangers + the first ones ships)... When you give each race 5-1x ships the numbers become rather large...

I do think it's a shame Asprin and his colleagues don't choose to work more closely with the TBP team.

Huh...Wait a second....What mean - shame.... We tried to work more closely with the TBP team. Do you remember events at old forum? Do you remember bluestar? Do you remember "Ship_Pack_1". All what we could, we made, but remained unnoticed.

Actually we did notice. Some in the team wanted to include your ships. Others wanted to omit them on the grounds of high poly counts, lack of LODs, or intersecting geometry and zbuffer tearing. If models had not had these issues they would no doubt have been included. Since then many things have changed. The game engine has improved to handle a greater variety of modelling styles, you have started adding LODs to your ships , and the new core TBP team is a much more progressive and open minded lot. It's a good time to work with the TBP team.

Indeed  I wouldn't mind adding some of those ships to TBP's arsenal once they are fully lodded and debris, of course credit will be given to Asprin and his team for whatever models we add.

 Great work where can I download these from?

[Whitelight]

Hehehe, couldn`t wait to say this, (when its done). 

Asprin will let us all know when its available. 

edit: I do have a question, will Asprin`s team and TBP joining hands have any effect to a release of the for-mentioned mod?

[Lord Zaldurak]

  Thnx

It wont effect either team, any models that might be added will happen after 3.3 is released.

It will have more ships and Asprins lot will get their names in the credits? On the other hand, let's not get too excited just yet. Maverick needs to have a look at the stuff and iron out any problems with them, if possible. Let's wait and see.

[Whitelight]

Cool.... Turns down excitement a couple notches.

Really, lol... I`ll be fine.

Asprin, any news about the ships? are you considering my suggestions about polycounts?
any help needed?

[PSI-KILLER]

Nice!

 What about the vorlons? they are cool ships.   

[Asprin]

Not LODed version of the VE Destroyer used in the FASW 1.0 release. http://fstbp.jino-net.ru/The_Minbari_Project.exe Before run the MOD rename your DATA directory in the DATA_1, then install MOD in your TBP directory.

This thread is in need of a little oxygen I think.  Since it is on the First Ones, I intend to demonstrate their pure awesomeness.  Gentleman I give you:  Vorlon Planet Killer.........owned!!!!! ---- http://www.babtech-onthe.net/quicktime/vpkend.mov

[I_E_Maverick]
