Any chance you guys take a crack at a Star Trek Discovery inspired mod?

This mod is looking fantastic! Is there anyway you will be releasing ENT models for SINS? Can't wait for the demo!!!

Finally a Freespace mod! Are you planning to add the Shivans or go the Blue Planet route?

Will 1.84 fix the Fed and Kling AI issues?

I understand but i have some time on my hands and would like to see if i can get it working. And i am just curious.

Quick question: how do you edit the ai in this mod? I want to see if i can get the federation ai to start playing like normal but i don't know where to start.

Too bad sins doesn't have animated turrets. So how does this ship stack up against GTVA destroyers?

That weapon effect looks spectacular!

Nice looking wip! I haven't seen any other models of this ship around.

How about the Husnock? I know their race is supposed to be extinct but it would be cool to see one of these roaming around destroying colonies.

From TNG episode "The Chase" I believe...

Just a thought. I always thought the New Orleans was a poor fit for an artillery cruiser, it looks like it should be in the scrum with the defiant and akira. Would it be more fitting for the Springfield to be the artillery ship? I mean it has the huge pod for those long range torpedoes. I always imagined the New Orleans was that heavy cruiser that fit somewhere in between the Excelsior and Akira.

Any chance of the TMP Apollo class making an appearance?

Did you add the aft torp launchers to it? Don't remember seeing those on any other model out there. Nice!

Is there a special .ENTITY converter you guys use for this mod? I have been having trouble with the converter I use, it will not save new entries in some cases. I have been trying to make the Shield Disruptor target multiple vessels and when I add the lines:
maxTargetCount
Level:0 3.000000
Level:1 5.000000
Level:2 7.000000
Level:3 9.000000
In the .TXT portion it will not convert them into the .BIN portion. Any ideas?

Is there any chance of having a phaser array put on the New Orleans class before the next patch release? Just for aesthetics, not saying it has to do much or any damage it just seems wrong to have a FED ship without a phaser array.

Gotta ask it! Will the Constitution Refit make an appearance in The Lost Years?

True! That it would!

I have a request for the Devs. I know your busy with other things in 1.2 but is there anyway you guys can add a phaser strip hardpoint to the New Orleans class. Either I can't find it or it doesn't have one. I usually mod the ship back to the heavy cruiser role and when I add phasers to the ship, they are fired out of the torpedo launchers it doesn't matter which weapon slot I assign them too. I just doesn't look... right! Thanks for the awesome mod can't wait for 1.2!

Ships with heavy special weapons are needed for dealing with bioships, as the regen rate for bioships is insane. Unfortunately the federation is lacking in that department especially in the early stages. I try to isolate the bioships by having a scout jump in and try to keep it out of range.

Thank you sir! I had to stop playing the game because of this lag issue. Just out of curiosity what is causing the issue?

This is not a rant rather an observation. When everything is researched and the large fleets are assembled with the best ships. I think it is important that no fleet can rip through another fully upgraded and similiar sized fleet the way the Dominion currently can.

I don't really think you guys have the balance correct for the dominion/cardassian race. They may be balanced toward each other but not the other races. I haven't tried the Romulans yet, but as Klingons and Fed if your fighting a Dominion player with a comparable size fleet mine hasn't stood a chance, especially in later stages of the game.

Just looking at the paper stats of some their ships: Sona battlecruisers are not capital ships yet they're stronger than the first 2 capital ships of the other three races. Galor refits are stronger than K'veks, Akira's, and the Falcon (or whatever the Rom late heavy cruiser is). I know Cardassian warships are supposed to be tough but come on 12 base armor on the Galor. That is way more than most capital ships and the Galor is a cruiser. Cardassian capital ships are insanely hard to take down.

To win against the Ai Dominion player I haven't been able to let the game develop to the later stages which is a bummer because that is when the game really starts to get interesting.

Just a few things I've noticed. The Challenger, Cheyenne and Springfield seem to be missing some strings. The Springfield and Cheyenne also show up with the Excelsior main view icon. As well as when zooming out and the side roster list, the Springfield shows up with Challenger ship/side roster image.

Love the mod

Just a thought but have you guys (the developers!) considered making a TOS or TMP mod for Star Trek once A Call to Arms is finished? Watching that "4 years war" trailer got me hoping! :)

Looks awesome but to be honest the old model didn't look bad either!

Anyone modding savvy care to tell me how to add ships from one mod into another for rebellion? Or at least point me in the right direction.

There are many ships that in the mod that have not been in the shows... so yeah there's that. The only reason people want it in the mod is that they love the ship. You could make it a colony, freighter or something that just floats around and be completely useless and I would still build it... cause I love it:)

Actually from the tmp era and appeared in tng although as debris at Wolf 359. Same age as the Miranda and Ktinga. Not a stretch of the mind to see it have some role in the mod.

This better not be an April fools joke. I love that ship! The model is spectacular!

Do you mean 1.5 or 1.05 either way I'm still having a problem installing p 2 of 2. Although i was able to get the mod working without the .bik files. Mod looks good so far!

No never did that, but i will reinstall anyway just to see if that helps. Is there a special patch for Kingdoms or vanilla TW that needs to be installed before third age is installed?

BTW mod looks great from the screenshots, would sure love to play it.
