if you dropped my mod into another mod, it wouldn't be pretty. I’d advise agents it. This should be put in a fresh, un patched install, if you want missing nacelles. I plan to have bits and pieces of TEM 01, possibly some exclusive TEM 02 content, with a little bit of community mod as well. Providing I get permission.
if you like how all those ships look beat to hell, my mod is for you. None of the other mods, as far as I know have eliminated shield bleed. When a ship takes hull damage with the shields up, it doesn't leave a scratch on the hull. Now you have to beat the shields down to cause the hull any damage, and every torpedo hit and phaser score leaves a mark on a ship with all its hull hit points. And I didn’t just take screen shots of when it’s really bad, every skirmish they look like that or worse.
More than just balance the ships, I have unlocked tons of weapon possibilities that the game developers lazily denied you. How about all the tng ships firing multiple beams from all over the phaser arrays at once? Stock the Galaxy or Sovereign will only fire one beam at a time from their huge phaser arrays. And in all the other mods too. I think if people give what I’m making a chance, they might find the other mods kind of boring. With all their visual, interactive improvement and all the enhanced content, the ship combat still sucks, and was not improved, in fact unbalanced more than before. But they have put allot of work and love into their products and the community is much better for it. If they weren’t around, the community would be dead by now. Friendly competition makes every product better, and hopefully I can raise the bar in my own little way.
Don’t for get to read up on the progress here
