Aah, that's a nice refit, well done! :thumbsup: It's unusual to see TMP era nacelles mounted sideways, that's an interesting variation.

Most of these are just the minimal files to have these show up. The factions are nowhere near started for the most part

Yep, that was an in-game screenshot using FO Classic. I don't know if vanilla technically has a hard-limit on the number of factions you can add, and the further you go down the list of players, the harder it is for the UI to show all of the factions correctly. I'd love to figure out if there's some way to modify the UI to include a scrolling section for the faction selection, but that's a bit beyond me to be honest

I hope the Classic A2 I use would also allow for that! Because of how many factions I have in the making :thumbsup:

Looks like you want all those SFB factions in your install. Good luck to find models, for all of the roles of their fleets, for them.

Someone made a series of mods for a DirectX-based game called Galactic Empires that includes several SFB factions. Atolm also made quite a few models for some others. I've got plenty of material to work with, and if I don't have something for a particular role, kitbashing is always an option

So an update on my current projects...

The Idryll full race is near completion. Still converting to A2PP and doing flavor text/ship names, then testing on a fresh A2 copy to test my installation instructions...

In the mean time, three new big projects: Sheliak, Selay, and Triaxian. The Sheliak pretty much have all their units modelled/kitbashed, the Triaxians need just a few more models and some scaling corrected, and I still need to figure out what I'm doing with the various Selay models. Hardpoints are nowhere near started on these, and I still have to figure out what I'm doing for the GUI for the Selay and Triaxians.

I just saw your work on the Idryll. It is impressiv!
Looking forward to the Sheliak. Will they have Borg Textures like the Idryll? Can't imagtion how much work everything was.
Interessting to see a whole Selay fleet. We never saw there ships so it is very cool you take the time to create them.

Are all those factions fully playable or are there some with only basic techtree for AI ally/enemy as well?

If you're talking about the ones in the screenshots with the actual units, then I intend those to be fully playable. The screenshot with just the list of factions is mostly non-playable at the moment, but I do intend on expanding/converting them into playable factions.

I forgot to mention that the Idryll full race is now available in the Resources section. As for the other three I've got pics of, the Sheliak have all their units made and I think all their stations are hardpointed, the Selay have most of their units made, and the Triaxians have most of their units made. I've been going back and forth between the larger and smaller projects as time allows so progress has been a bit slow

So...I did not anticipate redoing this texture tonight. I was in the process of packaging this up as-is for release and thought "I'll just make a few tiny changes, just to see"...and a few hours later this is the result.
