Prior to actually committing to building a mod, I thought I'd see if I can get any help with it first.

This is going to be based around the stuff from my "Stories From Sol" topic in Fanfiction And Art, so go read that if you're curious.
If you just model spaceships, I'm not going to have a use for you I fear. Feature creep in modeling is, from my observations, the great enemy, so we're not going to screw with that.
Weapons effect folks, we probably have a job for you.
Anybody else, whether you FRED or just have a good dose of sanity to bring to discussions of story and mission design, sign up here. I'll pester Matt/Goober/Hunter for hosting depending on response and ultimately need.
