its a pity that in most star trek games the fed ships look less detailed than the alien ships.
in sfc for example the stock merinda had a brigde module modeled and the naceles were better shaped than on the conny while the conny and akula had a modeled sensor dome wich the merinda lacked.
some ships had those details some didnt - wich looked even more silly when they apeard in fleets.
the alien ships often had better textures - the gorn x ships for example. and because they didnt have such complicated hullshapes they looked better as a model compared to the feds.
i love all the models shown on this board with all their detailing and so on - but personaly - i was always looking for some more simple models - with the all basic details like bridge and sensor domes - and dot as boxy as some stock models.
a good example for the level of detail im talking about is cleeves constellation or mr tricorders ships.
currently i use p81 ships - most from the d2 mod with 256x256 textures reduced to 256 colors. take a lot less space and is hardly noticible in game. but now the models look a bit closer to some alien ships wich dont have replacement models. im working on a closer to canon mod of the game and sometimes it looks just stupid - some full blown fed models fight some butugly gorn, isc hydran ships.
often there are some cool models - but no bases , repairdocks shuttles.
often i end up putting the worst models out of game and replace them with retxtures or kitbashes wich look somewhat better. thu11s made exelent romulans and isc ships but his gorn ships are on the same level as the stock ships even if they are closer to sfb. atolm has some cool fleets as well but most ships lack hardpoints an breakmodels. however - i think its part of the fun to wait and see what models are done next.
and im actually pretty happy that sfc isnt forgotten yet.
