This mod is mostly a result of my twiddling around with Inkscape, Gimp and Wings 3d:
I've added eight ships - five based on some sci-fi influences that i particularly enjoyed, three others were made without any external influence. Twelve items have been added, most of which can be fitted to a hardpoint.
There are two new races, both sporting fairly well equipped military fleets.
Work in progress, btw, expect updates http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good stuff, I like ol' Schlock.

Maybe I should use Wings to make my ship and render it out.

Wings is very recommendable, in my opinion.
It sports the most intuitive interface i've seen in any 3d modeller to date.
Plus, it's free http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Glad I checked here today. Can't wait to try it out. Looks exciting and new. Sorta like the Love Boat, only the crew and passengers die.

This stuff is reeeeally nice!!! Congrat's! I just love the mercenary corvette (lots of gun ports :-))
I although discovered a bug - choosing XGP ship I found the particle vortex cannon and of course put on the ship the following happened: during battle the cannon started firing when enemy was in range, but only in one direction. It did not tracked the ship!!! Is it intentional?

And just out of curiosity: does someone working on Babylon 5 mod or ships? It would be great...

Ah, right. The XGP has only one turret to complement its two missile ports (which are only useful with guided missiles unless you've got a very careful aim, i'm afraid). I tried to model the ship after the Outlaw Star (of the series by the same name) which uses missiles for just about everything except point defense and ship-to-ship melee.
Still wondering if it might be possible to script grappler arms into the game.
