Your Deimos's turrets are dead.  Make sure to delete the exploded and dead textures in model view before taking a screenshot.

That's why I am recommending using a rendering program rather than depending on Modelview.  A lot of the model editing will have to be done anyway, and having reference meshes out of pof format available would be a lot of work taken off of artists who wish to use them in renders or cutscenes.

I got the finalized version of the pieces.  It looks much better with those stars and the red dot in the middle intersecting the white lines:

You need a bigger starfield.  The repeats on the Arcadia and Knossos look pretty bad IMHO.

Basically all that is holding the release is the unfinished rulebook, the fighters/bombers, and the remaining counters.  The completion is closeby!

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

GTCv Iceni? WTF?

At the time of FS2, there was only one Iceni-class ship... Bosch's flagship. You might want to change its designation.

Actually, it's a frigate, so it should be renamed to GTFf Iceni or whatever, but the last par has to be Ff.

The Iceni was a governmental design built near the start of the NTF.  Bosch stole the Iceni, which was originally supposed to be Working for the GTVA.  Since Corvette is more well known, and describes the Iceni's size, I just said "what the hell" and made it GTCV Iceni.
Bigger starfield.  I have a starfield for each race, plus one for neutral objects:

Also, Ferret, when you get to the Shivans, include the Lucifer.

But the Iceni is an NTF frigate and NTF made, hence the classification NTF Iceni.

if the NTF stole an only ship, like the colossus, would it be called the GTVA Colossus? no!  If they stole a normal ship, say, an orion, would it be called GTD Orion? Yes!  There is no statistical difference between GTD Orion and NTF Orion, so they just call it the GTD Orion.

 The Colossus, however, is an only ship.  So if the NTF took it, they would call  it the NTF Colossus because it is theirs, and nobody will mistake it for a "new variant of the Colossus", because there is only one.

This rule applies to the Iceni.  Before called GTFr Iceni, now called NTF Iceni.

I made it GTCV Iceni because of:
1. It is for game reasons.  You sometimes are not playing as NTF and want to use an Iceni.  With my above arguement, you can just fly multiple Icenis as you can with multiple Colossus vessels.  It is like Fredding, there is no hardcoded line saying that you can not have more than one Colossus or Iceni.
2. It looks like a Corvette, and is the size of a Corvette.
3. It has the stats of a powerful Corvette, but not of a weak destroyer.
4. This is a friggin game!  Little does it actually apply to the storyline in FS2, as to create non-volition battles.  However, you can easily make any battle you choose to.
5. Like the Mjolnir MkII (Home Mjolnir with MjolnirBeam#Home), which is seen in one mission, and most of the time is unrecognizeable to the other Mjolnirs, I just try to add all the content of base FS2, plus new and different stuff.

I still havent made any fighter data charts, mainly because their data chart setup is different than the non-fighter data chart.

Ferret, I am going to need those pictures soon as my game nears completion.

Ferret, all i need is the non-destroyers and juggernaugts from the remaining races, and the game will be just about done.  You and Cobra are providing the pictures, and Cobra did the destroyers and the juggernaughts, meaning you have the rest.  The pictures you had so far were great, I just need a few more.  There are not many shivan ships you need to do, and even less vasudans.

I am doing a lot more work than you are.

If you were talking about the chart, I apologise.

100+100+100+0+0+5+0 / 7 = 46.25. Just being pedantic. :)
