You can pm me if you wish to keep the secret faction a secret :p

Is it a canon race (did it at least get a mention in one of the TOS/TNG/DS9/Voy episodes?

It's semi-canon, they have sort of been mentioned, but much of them have been developed by us. Only Syf and myself know about them, something we have had going since day 1 of Yesteryears. People have tried to guess who they are over the years, some have got close but never has anyone nailed it.

I haven't done anything more than what is shown in the main update thread. I'm planning over summer while it's hot to try and get a Federation beta out and finish up the Klingon side for a second release.
Will have more progress in Jan or Feb 2019.

The possibility of TMP goodness from you in 2019 you say? Four out of five Picards agree:

"Make it so Mr. Maj." :salute:

Probably will only be a playable beta but I am hopeful to get the Federation out there in a playable format. I do need to go over everything I have done this far. I do have a couple more models to complete for them but it's all texturing work at this stage.

Run fleet ops @Knight as that is what YY will launch on. I believe FO works on Win10.

A beta is still playable and a great place to start, it will show if you want to continue working on the rest of thing from that point onward.

I thought Win 10 had some sort of Win XP simulator mode, doesn't A2 work on that?

I literally do not know because I am still using XP, so I just run A2 normally.

I do want to continue with the mod. It's been part of most of my adult life tbh. I learnt to model for this mod. However doing it solo does take time plus I do have bouts of lack of creativity where I find it impossible do do anything artistically creative so the mod does suffer for this.

However I am determined to get a few factions out. Most certainly the Federation and Klingons and hopefully the Romulans and Gorn.

I might port it to sins at some point too, it might help to recruit some talent to assist with the other factions but I want the Federation and Klingons launched on A2 before I attempt that.

That sounds wicked cool Maj, I am a huge fan of the designs I have seen you develop thus far, can't wait to see what you come up with for the Romulans and Gorn.

What designs are you using as inspiration for the Gorn?

I currently have placed the Lyrans and the Gorn in my queue of races to add to my game, however there is so little of these races in A2 that it's almost impossible to make a good whole faction. I contemplated using the ones from the Klingon Academy 2 mod but I don't love those designs to be honest. As such, I have the whole Hirogen race standing in for the Lyrans and the Metathran from Art of War as stand ins for the Gorn; I know that one belongs to Voyager and the other is not canon but the races are pretty complete and the models are so high quality that I thought to have them as stand ins, it's just for me anyway, so meh.

What are Yesteryear's Gorn going to follow? The FASA designs, the Star Fleet Battles designs, something based off that one ship that was seen in the show or complete originals?

For the Gorn I am 90% certainly I am going with the STO style Gorn ships with of course by own style added to it. But I am a ways off from that at this point.
