Title: EA Minos
Post by: Dragon on June 09, 2009, 12:45:30 pm

I recently discovered this ship on german site about Star Trek TC for FS2 and uploaded to FS Mods.
http://freespacemods.net/download.php?view.556
It came without any tech description (the one it has is from Omega X) ,so I would like to know what is it.

Looks almost like a Shadow/Warlock hybrid without the missile launchers and big beam weapons instead of a front hanger.

I wish there was a way to convert even half of ships listed there ( http://sf3dmodels.boom.ru/ ) to TBP.  
The most amazing are in my opinion:
EA Atlas
EA Nike
EA Pegasus
EA Python
MF Shargoti
MF Valen'zha
DF Stormfalcon
VE Advanced Dreadnought
They seem to be way too much poly for FS engine ,but I think with reduced polycount they may work.
(Steve'o did such thing with MIG 343)
And thanks for info Den5.

I loaded the Minos in PCS2 without a problem.  Looks like it wasn't quite finished but nothing major missing that I could see. 

The real question is who made them and are we allowed to use them.

I got the Atlas loading and started compressing/modifying it...


Also from the Atlas's readme.txt

It would still be polite to contact the guy and ask though. I'm sure I'd like to know if I was in his place. :)

After looking at them for a while... is it me or are all post-modern earth capships look alike?
