Star Trek Mod?

There is no released ST mod for SE5.

if ya want download all the startrek shipsets and play the Balance Mod till the (Star Trek Mod) is made

Not sure on a link, the SE IV ST mod is probably a good starting point for ideas.

Why not? Just because every possible shipset doesn't exist yet? Isn't the most important part of a mod the tech tree and such? Certainly, if you build it, there is a much better chance of inspiring others to complete the missing sets...

You wants models? OKAY!

List of what I found in the Shipyard:
Borg
breen
Cardassian
Dominion
Federation
Ferengi
Gorn
Klingon
Romulans
Species 8472
temporal Integrity commision
tholian *2
Vulcan

13 should be plenty.

Now that we have that annoying barrier out of the way....

SE4 ship sets consist entirely of images. As such, they cannot be converted directly to SE5. However, if the author happened to use a real modeling application, their source models might be convertible to .x format.. Unfortunately, Atrocities used Doga to make most of the SE4 ST shipsets, so that isn't a very clear-cut option.

Eh? All the SE5 ST shipsets on there are complete. Did you not click on the preview pic or race name to see the details page?

btw, I've set up some new features, and this URL should help you keep track of SE5 ST shipsets better:

Interesting.... It seems certain shipsets were not tagged with "Star Trek". I fixed this. Thus giving us 14(15 if you count both Tholian sets)

EDIT: added Andromedans. now we have 15/16

Since people are probably confused some of these are in video game spinoffs, and not the tv series/movies. They ARE races from Star Trek though.

Precisely. And as other people have pointed out, loads of Star Trek shipsets have already been made anyway. Like Fyron says, all we need to do ('we' being members of the SE5 community such as myself that want to see a Star Trek mod created similar to the one we knew and loved from SE4) is organise the non-graphical elements such as the tech tree, tech areas etc. Thats a comparatively small thing to accomplish, and once we do we practically have a working ST Mod on our hands.

Now, I had some very limited experience playing around with the data files for other people's mods in SE4, though never tried to edit SE5 in any way at all, but come on people, its just text files after all, and a lot of it will just be common sense. I'm willing to put time into researching Star Trek canon style components and such and also try my hand at directly editing the text files, but with my complete lack of experience (and i'm sure the same can be said for a lot of people who want to see this mod made) the bottom line is we need to get some sort of team together, some sort of organisation. A schedule of sorts. Anyone willing to contribute?

We're not talking about a massive project here - the ship sets are there for the taking, we just need to write up the appropriate technology relevant to the Star Trek universe and we'll have it sorted. I suggest we put the word out for anyone interested in seeing this mod being made and see if we can find anyone willing to lend a hand. Thoughts?

Well said, id certainly be willing to help make it and i have a good grasp of the data files not including scripting ais.

However, instead of JUST a Star Trek mod i have a cool idea, a massive sci fi mod, incorporating and balancing all current show/movie/book based mods and adding several new ones, such as Star Trek TNG, The original series and Enterprise. As well as some stuff from Stargate, Andromeda, Halo, Star Wars and other futuristic games.

I cant do this alone guys, ive already received one offer of support, i ned at least 8 people to do this.
All will receive credit for what they contribute and we will make htis the best mod in SEV history!

I think your ambition is admirable, but I think there's several issues that i'd be uncomfortable dealing with in a mod such as the one you propose.

Most significantly, the fact is that anyone who wants to see a Star Trek mod created will naturally be fans of the show and be aware to a certain extent of concepts involved in it, for example the different races, or the technology involved ('phasers' and such). The problem is, you start involving every other Sci-Fi show thats out there and I think it might go above peoples heads - people who want to see a Star Trek mod for example arn't neccecarily going to be fans of Stargate, or Star Wars, or whatever else, and they arn't going to be familiar with the concepts and technology involved in those other shows.

Personally speaking I feel that the idea of a ST mod is one where players can 'take part' in the Star Trek universe within the framework of SE5. Once you start involving other shows then its not the Star Trek universe that your playing in anymore, so it loses its purpose. The mod you propose may be vaguely influenced and partially involve elements from the ST universe, but it's not something that I think I'd enjoy playing. I wouldn't want to see random stuff appearing from the 'Stargate' series for example because i'm not a fan of the show and dont understand it. It would be detrimental to the experience.

No offence, i'm not saying what you propose is a bad idea, I think what you say sounds interesting and could well become a decent mod, but my point is that you can't create a mod involving all those elements and then say, "there's your Star Trek mod because its part of this big Sci-Fi mod" because it wouldn't be set in the Star Trek universe, its a different thing entirely.

Good luck with it, I hope it turns out as you hope but it's not for me, sorry.

There's more at www.pbw.cc if you like the Star Fleet Battles races (the Seltorians and Andromedans come to mind).

Andromedans are in the shipyards too.

Actually so are the Seltorians...

Those were just examples. There should be more out there...

btw the mod will be secular to allay concerns over certain things. You CAN have a game with JUST STAR TREK OR A GAME WITH JUST STAR WARS or whatever by simply using a scenario or using only star trek races. Races will not have random tech from other shows, only their own.

Some of the, specifically the Andomedans, are also from Starfleet Battles Minitures war game. The modles were done as mods for some Space Combat games, including the Starfleet Command game series.

If I recall, the Kzinti and Lyran are also fron Starfleet battles.

Yes, Kizinti, Lyran, Gorn, Andromedans (not to mention the big three) are all in SFB.

Gorn are in some of the TV shows too.

The Andromedans are in one episode of the origional.

hmm... which one was that?

I think he means the Kelvans

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Kelvan

Ah, yes, they were from Andromeda all right. But they were not a mysterious race of beings who've never been seen in person. Though they would presumably have encountered the beings known to the Federation as the "Andromedans".

hey guys i'm really fan of star trek and would very much like to help whit making the mod (i have never tryid to mod a game befor so i have no idea on how to do it, but i can always learn it.) if you need help just say it to me and i will try to help.
