What is the status of Alpha Quadrant and the ships that Kill me now and others are making of Starfleet?

Thanks!........I hope Captain Nick doesnt give up on the Star Trek mod he is doing, he has approximately 30mb of it done right now but mentioned he might quit. Someone give him a boost here to finish it!!!!

Also, I remember seeing an Enterprise mod in the works awhile back, any idea where it went?...........

 I dont know how you got wind of something as poposterious as this, any information regarding the enterprise is classified and on a need to know basis.  We also deny existance of a race called klingons  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

This is Captain Nick Brown, I think I should stop the AQp2. Who would want to download a >30MB file? (who would want to upload it - and where)

Sorry mate.

Thanks for your support. Please keep this on email though.

I would d/l it.
HLP would upload it (I hope, I should be disapointed otherwise)

30MB!  Is that compressed?!?

Dude, it sounds like you've put a ton of work into that thing, surely there's a solution to be found.

I've changed all the skins (88 ships) to resemble Star Trek, sounds, few new models, artwork, missions, special sounds, wingman sounds. Everything. Just too much. But it won't be a real hit, because it has no models from Star Trek.

So what Nick, I mean there are some resemblences in the Mentu and others. We want you to continue! Man, there are more people that are interested than you think. Why work so hard on something you have shared with others and then drop it all the sudden. I think there would be a interest for it here.

Honestly though, I have been pretty disappointed with the level of interest. I only know about 3 people who really want it. But I can release to you what I've got at the moment, if you'd like. Just give me an email (email to both [email protected] and [email protected])

I understand your point, sadly  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) I had the same pb with my Descent campaign.

Thanks Captain Nick, I dont know why someone would not be interested in a new mod with all the changes and additions that you put into this one............it just gives the game more versatility.

MOD's are cool. Star Trek, well... can be cool, and usually is. I'd say that if you release what you've done so far, someone would jump at the chance to continue your work...

Imagine the Kobayashi maru with a stranded freighter and 3 KLingons warping in as you approach it. Of course creating your own distress message and playing it. Or what about Khan in the nebula firing upon a federation ship partially damaged, after Khan recieves x amount of damage a supernova is set off simulating the genesis device! Man the possibilities are awesome.........

They sound quite good... I've made some good missions, but every now and then I just get stuck on one and it just frustrates me so much.

The AQp2 is pretty much finished (aside from about 15 unreskinned ships), it just needs some touching up and some bug fixes. But I'll try and upload it tonight. However, I do have a second problem... Three months ago I couldn't upload more than 800KB, but I think I may have fixed the problem, but I've never tested it yet. I will send an update as soon as any progress arises.

Plus, I'm not really sure it is 30MB (not compressed). I may have been exagerating, but I won't be sure until I get home this afternoon.

My Galaxy-class has an insufficient amount of weapons compared to the stats  available from the Daystrom Institute ("http://www.ditl.org/"), so it has been taken to the Utopia Planetia Shipyard for refitting. (In other words, I screwed up and I'm fixing it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

If you can get it down below 4 MB or at least put it into 4 MB chunks I'll upload it to GTD Wolf for you.

Thanks mate, but I may not even be able to get it onto another server (or send it via email) because I may not be able to upload more than 800KB. But it might be fixed.

Thanks.

Well, if you put it into 800 kb chunks I'll put it into 4 MB chunks and upload.

Oh cool! I might just do that (if it doesn't work). Would you want me to email you the chunks?

Thanks for helping him out Grey Wolf, hope your galaxy class is done soon! Hey Captain Nick have you modded the briefing music yet to work in the briefings?.....I found that it is quite easy to do and to put Star Trek themes in place of the fs2.

I made several FS2-Star Trek music schemes for StarFleet, Borg (From Armada), klingon and romulans. I have both the dramatic music, ambient music, battle music, etc. This was all included in the AQp1, but not for AQp2 because of the file sizes. It would be 'astronomically' high.

Post by: Admiral Kirk on September 13, 2001, 07:42:00 am
Well, the music part is not really that important because it is easily modded. That way people could put in whatever ST theme they want for playing the mod. By the way does anyone know a good campaign manager?

Hey Nick, another idea is to bill the thing as STARFLEET BATTLES instead of Star Trek.

That way you can still have fighters (SFB used a lot of fighters) and still be cannon.

BTW- Starfleet Battles is loosley based on the Star Trek universe (TV show era) and has recently been released as the PC games Starfleet Command and Starfleet Command 2.

Oh yeah, it looks like yu and Kirk need to team up since he seems to be working on 'Cap ships'.

Captain Nick , I have someone who can easily create some Star Trek ships for Fs2 but he needs to know the games poly count. If anybody reads this and you know can you respond as soon as possible. Thanks!
