im curious as to why the prometheus class ship is not featured in this game seeing how it fits in nearly with the plot since the ship was a prototype war vessel to deal with the dominion threat and it only stands to reason that this ship would be shown as either one of the federations capital ships or heavy cruisers, in my opinion since the ambassador class is an older design i feel that the nebula should replace the ambassadors place and be the capital ship capable of colonizing seeing that it has the cargo and capacity of a galaxy class and the vacant spot once held by the nebula class to b filled in with the prometheus class. now the ambassador is a might ship and id like to still see it in the game so maybe just give the federation an extra option for their capital ships or bump it down to cruiser. 

ps in no way am i saying that im dissatisfied with the work u have out into this mod and in no way am i telling u to do anything, im simply curious why the prometheus class was skipped over for older ships that truth b told r so old they wouldnt stand a chance in the year 2388.

KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK! LOVE WHAT UR DOING!!

Greetings fellow Trekkies. I have not been to these forums for many moons, so perhaps you are aware of this, but just to be safe, I wanted to inform you guys that your links for the Entrenchment version are not active, except for the patch file. If you are aware of this, I apologize for restating this! Happy modding!

Actually I wish all of you would stop suggesting to change this or that until the team has a chance to finish the mod. I'm really dying to see a Rommie starbase...  If you want the mod changed around to fit you personal opinion of what it should be, then change your copy of the Mod and let these guys get back to work.

However, having said that, I wish someone would go into the string file and change Roiders to Raiders like it should be...  Seems like every update or patch I have to go and do it myself... and it gets old after a while. 

Rom Starbase is currently in the texturing process, which takes long since all textures are painted from scratch.

Opps. I have to admit I forgot about the bug button... opps.  But I'm glad it's been fixed... I keep thinking when I see it the pirates have hemoroids or something... hehehe

Glad to hear the Rommie base is being worked on.  I'd gladly offer to help, but my animating skills are very rusty at best.

fixed

I was wondering if you might think about making something besides the defiant a capital ship? it just doesn't seem like a capital ship

The Constitution is a capital ship, so is the Excelsior, the Miranda could be argued as well having similar power to a Constitution.  Trek don't work in Sinsville naming conventions.  It really doesn't work when you're using ships that range over a century, scaling up as they go.

The only other ship you could possibly put in the slot is the Lakota.  That means two Excelsiors, the base version is way down in power even compared to an Ambassador.  The only other option would be the Prometheus, which can't be done even if they wanted to.  MVAM isn't reasonable.

In System Warp directions.

Cloak with level 3 ability(level 8 req), target enemy unit.  When the warp jump is made, the cloak is removed at the same time, applying both firing rate increases.  This gives it a temporary 1200+ dps.

Use in a tactical manner and no fleeing capital ship will ever survive.

Diplomacy Loadscreen.brushes

onlyLoadOnDemand TRUE

True is default for this brush file. This tells me that we can have as many wallpapers as we like. I have removed all references to Startup_Loadscreen0, Startup_Loadscreen1 and Startup_LoadscreenEntrenchment. I am no longer using the picture frame in the loading screen so I made a new Startup.dds without it and the file is now half the size.

I have also notice quicker load time because each wallpaper is its own sheet (768kb) where the old style still had to load a large sheet (4 mb) with many wallpapers on it.

Lets have a load screen wallpaper contest.   1024 x 768

Hehe, bad day for these guys.

I have deleted these brushes and changed the brush count even though this is a load on demand file.

Hello All ,  

Well time is upon us again to post a update about the mod . We as a team have been busy as bees mustering up the next release of SOA2.  Things to expect in the newest build. A realistic lcars menu  setup thanks to myfist0. More custom music. A completely reworked pact system for all races except borg as they will just annihilate or assimilate you,  thanks to psychoak. We are also proud to announce  The newest 3D model additions "Romulan starbase and of course our new dominion starbase model. The newest release is not perfect but defiantly a game that will suck you in and make you loose countless hours of time! We are gearing up for a initial diplomacy release at the end of this month if all goes well. Once we release a diplomacy release we reserve the right to update the entrenchment series but make no promises to do  so. Please all bear with us as we attempt to iron bugs and issues out. We will not  release a product that is flawed and doesn't meet our internal standards. Also people please stop asking about our ship line ups. Unless we ask for your thoughts on ship line ups or there is a issue with a particiular ship. Then simply dont post about it as it takes up space and this has been decided. The only new models you will see,  will be the diplomatic ships for all the races and those are currently topsecret. We are however taking fan submissions for the planetary defenders and pritate ships. Please keep in mind we also have plans for the fernegi and orion race, but welcome submissions. 

Pirates will be orions

fergengi and other minor star trek races will be  planetary raiders/defenders.

please email all submissions to the following

SoA2contributions@hotmail.com

And of course use our debug page to post bugs
