Is there hope for this now? I saw some stuff in Discord related to it...
Still working on it. It's never been figured out in 18 years of BC modding (to my knowledge) but there's a first time for everything.
Also, a brief rundown of features that will be included in the next release of the Remastered Mod:
New Features:
-Added Federation Luna Class
-Buffed weaponry of Dominion Founder class
-Buffed weaponry of Breen cruiser
-Upscaled intro and ending movies to 1080p @30fps (Thanks to Capt.Sedaris)
-Added proper damage icon mapping to all ships
-Removed over 200mb of unused files to reduce overall RAM usage
Bug Fixes:
-Fixed issue where starbase hitboxes were larger than the actual hull, leading to collisions
-Fixed issue where numerous ships would not display their specular maps
-Reduced visual size of Vorcha & Neghvar's Ion Cannon projectile
-Added proper Master Systems Displays for USS Berkely & USS Geronimo
-Added proper lighting to Deep Space and QuickbattleRegion system maps
-Fixed balancing of Episode 3 Mission 2 by nerfing the Romulan attackers
-Many other tweaks and fixes
