First off I would like to thank you guys for what you are doing. I have really enjoyed playing the mod so far. I can't wait for the next update, especially the Babylon 5 addition.

Now you guys have encorporated just about all of my favorite sci fi shows into one and I love ya for it. However two shows that I really like that are absent, Farscape and Space: above and beyond. There were homeworld mods for each of these shows that can be found here http://jstonline.homeworldtrinity.org/. The mods are old and dead. I really don't know how hard it would be to convert the models from homeworlds format to SW:EaW's format. I don't even know if it is possible to get a hold of the original modders for permissions to use their stuff.

I know modding is hard work and can be a stressful hobby, so just consider this something to think about. If you can use these mods, great. If not, I continue to appriciate what you have and will release.

P. S. There is also a mod called "Worlds Collide" that has various sci fi ships from different shows mish mashed into fleets fighting one another.

Like I said just something to think about later down the line. I actually found this mod through moddb, really liking that site. Well thanks for the response.

Since you all are busy round here I figured I would give it a shot to see if I could expediate anything. I have gotten permission from the Farscape homeworld team and received permission to use those assetts from the mod. They just want to make sure they are credited. I have converted most of the ships over, now I'm working on rigging them. Any pointers will be much appreciated.

Here's some early screenshots of the models in game just swapping models.







And here is what I did for Space: Above and Beyond. The little contact information for that mod, I don't know if it is correct. I haven't heard anything back from them.



And here is something I personally just think is missing



I apologize if imageshack is a problem, it's what I got right now.

you sir, are a god.
I was trying to add the Mk1 viper and old style columbia into the supergate, instead of the new columbia...

forgot to mention, i might have a combo faction of rnadom scifi series, so if u dont have the LB,HB,LF,HF, 12 normal ships, 7 heroes... you know the deal by now lol.
As far as i know it might have Dr who, and a few other factions blended.
But im not sure how thats going

[theophilus]

I can give you the models as I finish adding the collision mesh and hardpoints/bones. Where should I send them?

The way I'm setting up farscape right now is:

Moya-Research ship
Sheyang fighter pod-light fighter
Zenetan Pirate Fighter-heavy fighter
Chrichton in Farscape 1-weaponless hero/scout
Aeryn Sun in prowler-fighter craft Hero

Peacekeeper Prowler-better light fighter
Zenetan Junk trader-poor corvette
Lo'la-small powerful hero

Peacekeeper Marauder type A-bomber/assault craft
Nebari ship-small powerful corvette
Scarran fighter-better heavy fighter
Jothee-assault craft hero

Peacekeeper Marauder type B-better bomber
Peacekeeper Vigilante-mid sized warship
Talyn-mid sized warship hero
Scarran Striker-better assault craft

Scarran Dreadnaught-massive warship
Scorpius in Command Carrier-massive warship hero
Luxan Penetrator-best assault craft/corvette

Peacekeeper Command Carrier-massive warship/carrier
Grayza in Command Carrier-Massive Warship hero

Emperor Staleek in Decimator-large warship hero

The thing in italics are items I don't have models for, or in the case of the scarran fighter, am haveing problems with. I need a scarran Striker, a luxan penetrator, and the scarran decimator to round everything out. I was hoping that you knew somebody with sufficient skills that could produce them. The scarran fighter I'm converting from a different format that is proving to be difficult. I can also provide 1 defense satalite and a leviathan with a control collar for a sensor jammer

As for random I was thinking similarly. I have the Event Horizon, NSEA Protector, 5th Element Cruiser, Buck Rodgers Starfighter, Gunstar, ID4 fighter, Lexx, Liberator, Tardis, and USS Sulaco. However the quality varies.

sounds good, looks like u might ahve enough to make ur own farscape mini-mod, i can help u with some of the coding if u want, as for where to send them upload them onto filfront and then PM me on MODDB if ur on there (since i ckeck it more often) or on here with the DL link and ill get to adding them in

[Spinobreaker]

Hey
forgot to mention, if u can send me the .max files as well (asuming theyre max6) and if u can, cna i send u some of the models i have, and can u convert and rig them for me?
Im planning on making a small BSG minimod. (more or less cylon war 1).
With the TOS ships (i have a few variants i plan on adding and other units as well)
Thats y im after the TOS battlestar model so i can vary it a bit.
thanks
