Armada Tactical Assault

[Aerilon]

I've never liked how the Borg are portrayed, at least, how they appear.

Why does nobody include Lightmaps on The Borg? In theory, the only part of a Borg ship we should see in the dark, is the Green Glow, yet on every project that has them, we see everything.

Everything looks good, don't get me wrong, I just think the Borg should have lightmaps / alpha channels too.

I agree, I've done it in my game, since all my borg units use the same texture, I just added lightmaps to the green sections. It improved the look of them a lot imo.

Is that a Cube and intercepter?

release date for part 1 of mod is 24th this month

Wow that was fast, I love that Tactical Cube. Looking forward to the release

[k_merse]

Yes, yes! I can't wait.

Yacuzza...ever since i installed your new explosions..i've been having these unexplained crashes...now I haven't added any new weapons or ships...and i can't narrow down where the problem is. Have you experienced any problems with the explosions? I'll show you my explosions.spr file if I have to...

Sisko, I just checked the same files and I get CTD aswell, but it's the strangest thing, it only happens when the 4th or 5th ship blows up, I will take a good look when I get some time.
