Or in this case, Achilles. Same thing really in this modding world we live in
Anyhow, this is a semi-site, semi-forum post because the two, indeedy, are linked. What is this you ask though? Well, talking to Achilles, a self-proclaimed lazy modder mixed with my energy and ideas, we came up with the Mod Surgery. As you may or may not know, Mr. Achilles has a rather large stock-pile of models, all of which you know aren't Federation which is his kryptonite, that would be wonderful when released to the big world, however, it takes time, not everyone has the time....well y'know how it goes.

Ok, I was talking to Joel and whining about having to convert stuff beacuse he always complains I dont release enough of my stuff. We worked out that, being as idle as I am, someone else could do it for me. So here's how I am going to work it....
What I want.
Someone to take my models and textures and convert them to sod and add all the trimming to make it a full ship mod. For example I send you a model of the Galor in 3ds format with 3 already applied textures with alpha maps. You then add hardpoints, damage emitters and lights and export to sod, take a picture and make buildbutton, wireframe, admiral's log pic. Then you make an odf and some install instructions and send along to A2files and anyother site you choose. Make sense?
What I offer.
Gift Vouchers... sounds cheesy I know but they can be traded for things, like turning your designs into models thus starting the whole cycle again. So one convert will take you maybe 30 minutes to an hour and trades for 1 voucher which exchange like this...
1 Voucher = Nada, Zip, Zero
2 Vouchers = One mesh
3 Vouchers = Full set of textures
4 Vouchers = One full model with textures
And you will have full rights to it, so long as credit is given.
Two Rules
1- I will not make, edit or fail to delete Federation stuff, dont send it cause it aint welcome here.
2- No mod is considered complete until I have checked it and ok'd it.
Interested... Awesome email me at wrathofachilles(at)hotmail(dot)com
That make sense? I hope so. This thread will serve as a picture-place for where the ship that is currently up for release will be kept. Basically, someone contacts Achilles at the above address (on a first come first served basis) for the current ship that is 'up for grabs'. Once that is done, the next picture will be put up and so on and so forth till there is nothing left to do...but that won't happen, because there is plenty to do.
First ship then to be served? That would be the Nara class Romualn cruiser, seen in his sig.
Don't worry if you lose this thread as well. There will be a permanent link on the left hand menu of A2Files for you to quickly access this thread. You'll see it nice and clear. Now remember, make sure you contact Achilles through the above address to claim your model to convert. Hop to it modders
Ps. from Achilles

Additionally please send any interesting (none fed) designs to my email.
Dammit. I dont know how to do anythign with the modesl cept for write up ODF files. and i cant even do that unless i know hit points. Oh man i gotta get into ship modeling.
I'd love to help out if I could, but I'm spending so much time sorting out my own project and my GCSEs for that matter, although actually I could do with the Nara for my project so I'd happily convert that.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door...
I'm in..naturally...any klings, or Roms preferably or Cardies or Doms you can throw at me....I can use...my Feds are all but done...I'm just adding finishing touches and such...
