I had considered putting them on SFC3 Files. I still may. Uploading big files takes a while, even on DSL. I shall keep you all posted.

It took some time to gather all this ships and it could not have been done without the efforts of all the SFC community model makers/kitbashes out there that attempted to make these ships for us over the past three years or so. Its not as complete a collection as I hoped but we have certainly got most of the really cool FASA Trek ships represented.
If I may, please, consider [or have somebody] breaking the files into chunks for us 56kers.
Thank you Chris Jones!

Can someone with high speed get this and let me know that the rar file is not corrupt and extracts properly.
The 56K versions may have to go somewhere else. Stay Tuned.

I'm going to put this file on this page..
http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/sfcmods.htm
Can you write up a description here, so I have accurate information to post there, and could you also direct me to a screenshot of 1 of the ships to include with the file. We'll make this a real big deal for sure!
For 56K - I'll upload the individual folders to 3D Downloads. That way the ships will all automatically fall into thier proper folders and be organized. I'll do this overnight tonight my time, Eastern, and post a link here when it's ready. It might be good to sticky this thread!

Davey!! How ya been? I've been hanging with my brother on his Enemy Territory server. He says its one of the most popular in the world. Are you still in STOC?
You need to use shipedit to add these ships to either EAW or OP, after you unzip them to the assets/models folder of either game. I might create a directory in assets/models called FASA, and put all the ships in there - maybe also create sub categories for the races. -- assets/models/FASA/Fed - etc..
Thanks for confirming this is OK everyone!

In my mad rush to get this out the door I never thought of doing that. Doh! I would use Pataflafla's Northamption wall paper to respresent the mod itself but since you want a screenshot try this one:
I think it sums up the FASA flavor very nicely....

Post by: Chris Jones on April 15, 2004, 10:59:05 pm
I have another idea. I'll upload the files to the same place the big file went to, and create a web page with a big pile of links on it. That will be quicker and easier to download individual ships than 3D anyway..
Stay Tuned.
Great screenie, KF. Moonraker's base? That baby is a classic. Moon's hanging around BC now.
Can you write up a little FASA history for the site as well. I'd like it in your own words, signed by you. The Mod Directory uses URLs for supporting documentation for thier hosted mods.
I'm going to create a spot on my Frost-Works site for the web page with the links to the individual ships, and the Federation, Klingon, and Romulan FASA manuals.
My page with links will be here:

It depends on how the author wishes to compress the file. rar files compress more efficiently than zip files, and have a smaller file size when completed..
Post by: Pestalence on April 16, 2004, 09:36:27 am
winzip 9 can compress to the level of regular installers.. about 1/2 the size of a rar file...
winzip 9 offers a Maximum compression mode called enhanced deflate which acts just like an install creator program's compression level.
you may want to check it out.. i took your TOS Mod for SFC 1 and compressed it to 1/2 the size of the rar file it comes in.
just letting you know.

It has been a while since I compared the two. Thanks for that.Turns out I have limitless space on the Nightsoft server, and they will soon have much better download speeds.
Overnight tonight, Eastern time, I'll upload the individual folders/ships and provide a link to browse the whole lot of 'em!

Hey Guys,
If I am correct (and let me know if I am) these ships come from three ancient books by FASA:
FASA #2301 Klingon Recognition Manual
FASA #2302 Federation Recognition Manual
FASA #2303 Romulan Recognition Manual
These are long out of print.
However, a long time ago, I got a copy of all three of these, scanned in as three seperate PDFS. Since FASA is out of business and these have been long LONG out of print, do you think it would be bad to post these up somewhere?
I think it would be neat to have the ships, and then the books the ships came from (semi-hertical canon) all in the same spot.

Yes, Irish Klingon, Most of these ships are from the three FASA Trek ship recognition manuals. There are Fan ships and SFC Community variants [REFITS] that are to awesome to be lost to cyberspace.
I will continue to collect FASA to SFC models in the hopes that their will be a more definitive collection that fills in all the gaps I know that are out there.

Nightsoft is down for maintenance tonight it seems. They will soon be upgrading to allow much faster downloads, and are currently in a state of transition. Raven told me this very recently, and has warned of occasional downtime during the transition. For the moment I cannot upload the 56K versions of these ships
but will keep at it till Nightsoft allows uploads. Guess you could say the server is in a state of 'temporal flux'. Post by: Age on April 17, 2004, 02:39:32 am

Soooo... what gives with KF's FASA archive? It's fallen far too deep in the forum and I'd have to think there has to be some really good stuff in there. Could ya give us an idea as to when, Chris?
Post by: Chris Jones on May 29, 2004, 06:36:46 pm
I'm still workin on it.
Actually I have the space, it's just I'd have to zip each ship individually, I don't really have the time..
Post by: Rogue on May 30, 2004, 09:32:44 am
I was just kind of hoping and being all impatient and stuff. Like we never see that around here. So when you have the time and the inclination there are people like me that are keeping tabs on it. KF's FASA archive has to be a fairly cool achievement and should not fall off the radar screen. Of course I should probably be bold enough to show up at a friends house with a blank CDR, now shouldn't I?
