I do have a Federation Ship Set in the Mods Section if you are interested.

Hi Geoschmo

If you like I can take those portraits and put them on a blue background like the one for the Dominion, or I can get you the old hag on a plain black back. I prefer the blue ones myself. I also have a complete Startrek UFP shipset that has the various stellar backgrounds on the portraits. I am working on the Klingon set based on some of the ships from Atrocities site, BOTF, and other Online sources. Are you just doing the AI or are you including ships?

Sabre,

When I started my mod I was using Warp_nine's races as a base and adding others to fill out the game. You can't tell from the screen shot, but I have used your pics for most of the races.

I do like the blue background, but I kind of like having some blue and some black instead of all the same.

At some point I want to talk to you more about this. I noticed a couple of the races, Adndorians and Benzenites escpecially, seem to be affected by the blue background. There skin coloration seems to be off.

But right now I am fighting to urge to go back and make changes to images. I am afraid if I keep twaeking I will never get this posted.

We'll look at that for ver. 1.1.

Its kinda funny about the 2 you mentioned, many of those images came from BOTF with the blue background including those 2. I sized them and changed them to a BMP file. I then replicated..hehe..the background with a paint program and cut and pasted new races onto it, such as the Dominion, Gorns, Breen, and others. It would be possible to create other backround colors like a green or red tint instead of blue. I was even thinking of putting the race symbol in the corner or in the background, haven't got that far yet though.

BOTF is where I got most of my newer ships from. It was a great game, and it lives on through our efforts. Just give credit where credit is due, and let poeple know that the images came from BOTF, and I think microprose will be proud.

I have a complete Dominion ship set that you could use. It�s as about as canon as one can be with the resources available. There are only 2 place holders for the troops, but everything else is trek.
Its all ready to go now, I just need someone to host it (Atrocities, did you get my beta Version? what did you think?) on their site.
I�m also working on a fighter and carrier pack for the Feds too, and it should be done soon.

Sorry, I have had email problems with @home, and AT&T keeps screwing me about getting them fixed. I have been repeatedly assured that it will be fixed soon.

in the mean time, try sending it to pcpatrocities@home.com

Hopefully that account works. (PS, I have a new romulan set. The back ground needs some work on the Top Down views, but I am sure someone with more skill than I can fix em up.)

I used Warp 9's set and changed a bunch of ships to new ones. I can resize them once the back grounds have been touched up, but I need help doing the back ground touch ups.
