thanks.

bad news though.  it seems that when i was last working on the tactical displays, I neglected to make displays for the saucer and drive sections of the ships independently.  however, because of the bug with the TDE, I will have do each one seperately.  There are 7 ships in the pack, so that means an additional 14 tactical displays to do manually.  Ugh.

Sweet

And if you're still planning on releasing a blank textured version, then it shouldn't matter if the dauntless isn't in the pack, people can put the ship in there ;).

This is looking sweet as ever!

That was included in the original pack, just like the EntD.

I didn't know there was a 2399 USS Pegasus! Or is it DJ's future Galaxy and I haven't read that bit?

Yes, but DJ said he was doing some upgrades for it in the expansion, including new hardpoints and shuttle launching.

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention the Venture.  It's in the pack. :)

As to the Pegasus, yes, that's my future galaxy.

Also...

USS Enterprise is go on all fronts!

*edit* Also, USS Galaxy, USS Yamato, and USS Odyssey are finished.

*2nd edit* USS Venture too.

*3rd edit* USS Pegasus complete.

*4th edit* lol

All the following items have been completed.

1. All ships have tactical displays.  This was a major complaint about the original release, in that the Enterprise and Venture had none due to a bug.  As I mentioned earlier, that bug was never solved, but in the end effectively circumvented.  Tactical displays are also fully present in separated flight mode.

2. All ships have icons specific to their design.

3. All ships have shuttle launching capability with a full compliment of shuttles, all of which are available in KM1.0.

4. All power issues have been resolved.  A frequent complain about the original release was that there was no main battery back up.  This has been rectified on all ships.  Fully powering to 125% all systems will now max out the ships power capabilities and rapidly reduce long term combat potency.  Selective and strategic power management will yield good results.  Power demands for the impulse drive and shields have been greatly increased.

5. "import Debug" has been removed from all of the ships' custom .py file, and corrected to simply say "import Foundation".  This should correct the BSOD problem many people encountered if they did not have KM1.0.  Effectively, KM1.0 is no longer a requirement of this mod, even though the ship is balanced to the mod.

6. Saucers will no longer jump to warp upon separation.  Warp drive systems that were accidentally included in the original release have been removed form all saucer sections.

7. The ships will use whatever default photon or quantum torpedoes a user has, correcting issues with not having proper graphics files, etc.

That's all for now.  I'm really trying to ensure that there are no bugs or issues in this release.  It will be thoroughly beta-tested before release.  Please PM me if you have time to put the entire pack through a rigorous beta.

By the way, does anyone know how I can manually edit the ship descriptions that appear in the ship selection menu of quickbattle?

I don't know if it is the answer of your question, but maybe this help you:

He said he was going to use KM torpedoes so that people would not need custom files, so I imagine they will be balanced to KM1.0.

yeah, like i mentioned, the torpedo scripts are just the default torpedoes.  If you have KM1.0, it will be the ones that shipped with it.  If you had a stock install, they'd be the stock ones.

I thought it would be better that way since I know a lot of people have set up their favorite custom torpedoes as the default, etc.
