Sorry, I don't want to hijack a hijacked thread.
JB, your work is awesome. You fill in alot of those gaps, and I appreciate you bringing a few of my models into BC. I am guilty of having a number of unreleased ships too, but there are plenty of folks on here who do work together. Sure some talent has left, but there is alot still here. I love seeing the SW stuff in progress. New designs. Designs unrepresented in the modding world. And there are alot of ships out there that have been left at 80% completion because of real life distractions, but if folks want to keep BC/ST modding alive, I think we can continue to do so. There was a time when people were stealing mods, being territorial about credits, and plain old trolling, but alot of those people left too and we have a pretty dedicated core still that cares about the craft.
Saquist, you can come down on folks and step on toes, but I appreciate that you are not afraid to speak critically. Honestly, critical reception is what kept me pushing and to avoid the easy way out on alot of my work, and my work improved because of it.
If I could make one suggestion to the community, it would be to make available WIP's to those who may want to carry the torch. Maybe even a separate thread where status can be shown... it would avoid duplication, promote interest in those projects that seem dead, and maybe help retirees from sinking their ships with them.
