Wow, just looks through the whole thread, this stuff looks great guys. Awesome job. Always liked your attention to detail over other mods. Glad this holds up with Sins.

The trade station model.

Usually, I just post the screenshot, but I'm gonna give some other info here. As many of you are probably aware, Sins is a 32 bit program and therefore is subject to some memory limitations. As such, we have to be very careful about optimizing our assets and asset usage. One way we're doing this is by sharing certain things between factions. The main thing here is buildings; instead of having three separate versions of a shipyard, trade station, research stations, etc. This also tends to fit within Star Wars anyways, since the factions aren't from origins as diverse as the base game. There are a few exceptions to this, such as the resupply stations being shared between the Remnant and EotH, with the New Rep and Hapans getting their own. Of course, any factions who were substantially different would get a unique set (ie if we were to do the Yuuzhan Vong)

That trade station is going to get a LOT of traffic thats for sure.

OHHH that looks good.

Impressive

Just in case people aren't sure, this is the shield impact effect. If you played base Sins, you're probably familiar with the large black meshes that just envelop the whole ship. These are, obviously, blue and more location-specific (the MC80B is just taking a lot of fire there). I'm not really satisfied with it yet so I'll be playing with it more, but I haven't played with programming in Cg before so it'll be a while.

The shield looks good none the less, I really like how it fits around the ships frame.

This a perfect example why Mods are the future.

Completely agree and some games now can be so poor that mods are needed.
