Thanks. Managed to get the mesh working so far, but the activation effects of the jumpgate is causing my some problems. If I try to change the ability from the default phase gate to the EA Jump Gate ability, the game instantly mini-dumps.

Ahhh.... the Vasari aren't evil, per se, they're just trying to survive, as a race. Same could be said for the TEC, really, except we as humans are more empathetic with them since they look more like us. The Advent are the real aggressors in Sins, but they aren't really evil, just fervent believers.

That's pretty much what Blair outlined in an interview--each faction is "guilty" of something they don't want to admit.
