I really appreciate all the models you guys have been posting.
The 3d models itself, the textures. look great.

I wish i had the knowledge to do a model pack for SFC CE that would make any sense (TNG, TMP, TOS, etc)
I have no ideia wich year they belong, the class, etc  ;D

D4v1ks,

With the work being done on the sprites editor having more accurate ships for the various eras will greatly improve IMHO.

Pre-Tos this is the Era of the Enterprise TV series and Starfleet Museum; both are good sources for info.

SFC is oriented on Starfleet Battles which is primarily TOS Era based.

STOCK Models are TMP Era - This is my favorite period. which covers ST Moves I-VI.

TNG - TNG/DS9/VOY Era

Post-TNG - Era of SUPER SHIPS mostly fanon TNG based...

I will be looking into resurrecting The Galaxies at War mod which is TMP Era based after I have amassed the model collection I am looking for.

Ideally, I  need a bunch of kitbashes....

Atrahasis' Monarch Pusher Tug with a second pod added. An interesting variant woud be to have both pods added to the starboard and port underside of the Monarch.

I'd like to have Wicked Zombie's Klingon B-10 to have two tug pods added (preferably Atrahasis' Klingon pods).

I have asked Scottish Andy for a NEW T' Lani using Foas' Locknar and Oberth pod - no response from him yet.

I need a new TMP FBB that has a design that makes sense using 4 TMP warp engines like those on the Ulysses class.

I would be nice to have the updated FASA Ranger class; there are two high poly versions I have seen out there. The USS Phobos was once too high poly for this game, now we have at least 3 versions of the USS Phobos...

I'd also like the Excelsior wanna-be Space Control ship I posted about in another thread...

While I keep dreaming, I am sorting out what existing models can be repurposed or simply be given a new coat of paint.

Thulls has the majority of the Adversary Races covered. His Romulan, Hydran and Lyrans are still the standard  today. 

I want to give the ISC fleet that Foas has as well as his Kzinti fleet a try.

I don't want to leave behind the TMP Gorn fleet as seen in SFC and Klingon Academy.

I have the Tholians from Klingon Academy and variants all set as well as an entire Seltorian fleet that I just need to sort out.

I envision an over the top mod with all the TMP stuff that I have to choose from.

While I am at it, I am experimenting with the different SPACE mods that are available. I think the SFC 3 Space model is the biggest followed by SFC: OP and SFC: EAW. This may be an optical illusion but I swear the space between YOUR ship starting point and the FBATS in the Look Who's Coming to Dinner Skirmish varies between these SPACE mods.

I also have not been able to install the BONUS SFC:OP Heater/Orion pirate missions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 ;D I have had great success with Firesoul's Klingon B-10 using Foas' textures.

I still have some work to do to finish it and then the tugs he made for it. I might get 3 models out of this...

I love how the K'teremny style warp engines came out on this.

I have not played this in game yet.

UPDATE: Regarding the USS Illustrious Strike Carrier, I have decided to hold off on it. I think its too much work for me to do right now and the current retexture is more than satisfactory to me.

 ;D Remarkable news!

This Kb10 Foas style retexture set lends itself perfectly to the following ships in Firesoul's OPPLUS 4.1.1:

kb8 - the only difference I see between this and the b10 is that the b8 has a closed aft torpedo launcher.
kb10
kb10t - I left the pods alone for now...
kdn
kdnl - has one minor texture smear on the forward sensor dome.
kedn

Other notes:

kc7 needs tweaking on the details texture for the back secondary impulse engines show up properly.

I may look at the kdnl and the kc7 later but I am happy with Foas' versions so this is not a priority for me.

I'm looking foward for such mod! Keep going.  :)
