Why Star Trek??

Spaceballs.. now that would be cool! imagine a giant planet destroying mega-maid entering orbit of your homeworld. ( oh no!! it's mega maid, she's gone from suck to blow!!)

also some starcontrol2 shipsets could be fun, especially the speech files, I really liked the spathi and mycon for example.

I think people enjoy the Star Trek mods because they can relate to them better than most other sci-fi based sets. Star Trek has been around for years and many people are quite familiar with it - so it makes a good start to role playing because you have an idea of how to behave as Klingons or Romulans, etc. Also, a lot of the gamers are under 20, so they won't really remember Battlestar on tv or Star Control from the early 90's.

For me, I haven't used any of the Star Trek mods, but even my own Spoogy Universe adjustments are very similiar - phasers, disruptors - they just seem more "realistic" than meson bLasters - what are mesons anyway?

I have been working on ships for BFG using POV-ray, nearly done with the ships for chaos but still need some work with keeping details for the mini pictures, and have started working on the Imperial ships but not very far on those. Havn't started on a Chaos AI yet since I'm using the ships for my own race because I really like the look of them

When I finally finish the Imperials, Chaos, Eldar, and Orks; I'm planning on trying to make ship sets up for TOG and Renegade Legions, although I would like to see the Kzinti from Star Fleet Battles and may get sidetracked. Only have so much time to work on them on breaks at work, or I end up not being able to spend time playing the game at home.

Actually, you should check out the howe old are you post. You will find most of the modders are at an age that can remember BSG, Starblazers, 1999, and meny other shows.

I would love to see a set on Space Above and Beyond, two problems prevent me from making one
A) I don't think they showed enough ships to make a proper set, I'll have to check though, since I ended up missing half the episodes.
B) I'm a horrible artist <G>

I don't mod yet, but I would give it a shot (At least a pic shipset) if I could find enough ship pic's to do a Space 1999 mod. That was always my fav show when growing up...
