If they dicked around at every point in a system with 40 orbital bodies, yeah, it did. FTL speeds are nice and fast in Star Wars, but you don't see ships zipping around planets in a few minutes time. The planets are still a small fraction of the size they'd need to be for a realistic relationship with the travel speeds.
I played it until my brain hurt testing out abilities, the pacing is nice. If it needs something, it's quicker start.
However i must face the truth. Depite how dissapointing it may be.. My time for this mod is pretty much at an end. At least temporarily. My Real Life needs must come first, and i have many issues i must deal with. It leaves very little time for games or modding. I will turn over everything i have completed so far to Jaylorpcs. He cant model, but he can script, and finish up what we have done so far... The mod is not dead, but until i get my real life problems squared away i must take a leave of absense from it.
Dont worry. I'll be back. I put too much of my time into this just to give it up. Until then Jaylorpcs will continue to the best of his ability. If anyone wishes to help him then contact him. I hate doing this, but it must be done. You guys have been great. Ill see you all soon.
The Major.
Good luck with everything and hope everything gets fixed. Thank you for all your hard work.
Best wishes with the real life issues - we all understand and appreciate you.
On behalf of the United States Air Force, God speed with your troubles Major. If we can help you please sir let us know.

Can't wait for the full mod when it's released, currently playing Distant Strars since it's only the complete mod out there, other than Stargate Races.
Here are some pics of the new sabre that Elladan is working on




Also all beta testers Numerous fixs / changes have taken place please note this.
Very nice work on the sabre... very very good
hope everything works out for everyone. great mod and enjoyed by thousands thank you for the continuation of the project!
This mod is absolutely beautiful, though i was wondering if Starbases will eventually be in it, like those huge ones from the Movies and TNG. I'd love to build Starbases near Asteroid Bases.
Attention, we are currently looking for ideas for ship abilities. If you have any let us know! You can send them to one of the team leaders or to [email protected], thanks.
Also yes, starbases will be in.
cool mod! I'm going to have to go on a wiki site and look up all these cool ships.
Someone posted a link for Birth of the Federation as Abandon ware...
Are any of the other old Star Trek games there yet? Like Starfleet command II or X Ships? I tried to install them and my new machine wont let me enter the keycode for them... the screen just dings at your when you try and type anything ![]()
Oh and yes I tried running it other compatibility modes and no luck
Oh that would be HOT! I just thought once this mod is done.. If any of the developers escape with their sanity intact
... A mod based on Star Fleet Academy II with all those races would be AWESOME!!! And tons of fluff and ships in there you wouldn't have to scratch your heads wondering what to model.. But Gorn, Lyrans, Hydran ... Ugh so much good!!!
I tried Birth of Fed, but it would not install
I DLed it and it worked fine, try it again, since it is one of the best ST games ever IMO.
Regarding ship ability ideas, I know myself and a few others posted some on that google project thing you guys had up, so there are a few there. Also, what ships exactly do you need abilities for? (or if it's easier, what ships don't you want ability ideas for?)
Basically just send in what you have, we'll decide what fits best on what ship and how to balance it. We aren't looking for anything ship specific, just some ideas, if you have an idea that might only work with one ship, send it in anyway!
Ok I sent in my first set of suggestions it's only 1 for each race atm but I hope it helps. I am sure it's stuff you already thought of but the fluff might be nice that I added
. PS I know I spell PISS but the idea should come across just fine
Here is a updated wip of the Sabre class starship that Elladan is working on enjoy. ALSO BETA TESTERS please report back with thoughts on resized planets with gravity wells. thanks SOA2 TEAM

That Sabre looks awesome! I can't wait
