You sir do not disappoint  Love the look of the strike carrier along with the fighter & interceptor, as well as the change to the vixen. Gonna have a blast seeing what that lovely strike carrier can do!

[PCCL]

yay fighters!

this warrants another try on this mod

kep! Implementing U'sC with your stuff i noticed a couple of things:

1) you don't need to add convoys to InterstellarFederationSpawnPoint as they are spawned by InterstellarFederationConvoySpawnPoint. You can edit the frequency of the spawn from InterstellarFederationSectorGen, line 31, (sector, system, 10 [how many days occur between each convoy], 1, IFconvoy, station3)

2) the Zephyr isn't in the convoy ships list .

And now that I think about it, I didn't edit the fleet composition for U'sC in the latest update *facepalm*.

Awesome, thanks for the tips, I'm on it!

Hooolyyyy jesus.  I just found out how to make the Mercury ***.

Two heavy needlers on the hardpoints and two light needlers on the side points.  A riptide MLRS on the universal slot.  The four front univesal slots?  Annihilator rocket launchers.

Four annihilator rocket launchers.

***.  ***. 

p.s. PD is for wimps  this is the IF motto, really

Sounds like a cheese ship. I like cheesing.

No it's not.  Trust me, I'm lactose intolerant.

It's just amazing.

I'm quite a fan of this mod, I love the appearance of the IF's ships and generally find them fun to play with, if a little slow for my tastes. z: )

I'm a particular fan of the Ares class Heavy Destroyer and the Antares Battlecruiser.  As such, I modified them for my own ends.  ^.^ 

I made the Mars class destroyer (Mars substituting Ares as another god of war) and Satevis (another name for the star Antares) class Battlecruiser, which are both recoloured, somewhat faster, somewhat flimsier and the mounts have been played around with (IF needs more energy weapons.)   

I strippped these out of my personal mod in order to post it to this forum, but I was wondering if Keptin might want to take a look at them?  (If so, how?)

[IIE16 Yoshi]

You can put the images for their sprites on something like imgur and use [img] to display them, as for their data, upload your modified IFed folder to something like dropbox in a zip and go from there.

[Starlight]

Aye, I've just gotten Dropbox and I've used it for my mod (very handy,) but I'd like Keptin's say-so before I do any such thing with stuff that is theirs.

Hi Starlight, I really appreciate the support and am happy you enjoy the mod.  You're welcome to share images of any changes you make, but unfortunately, editing the sprites for re-release is not allowed at this time.  If you're interested in creating a mod compilation or total conversion using the Interstellar Federation faction, PM me with your proposal and I'll send you the IFed mod release guidelines.  I keep a short leash on my work, I hope you understand.

QFT, I do agree with this line of thought.

InterstellarFederation v1.2 released!  Sprites updated with visible launch bays, several new ships and ship descriptions, more fighters and a whole bunch of housecleaning.  IFed is finally back into the double digits with "1.2"!

Montana-class Utility Cruiser
Dakota love supersized, the Montana has it all; cargo, launch bay, a rustic history, rattling deckplates, a hearty crew and a whole bunch of personality.


Albatross-class Attack Ship
For those who love to run and gun! Quad ballistic array is a joy for trigger happy captains and the bane of enemy frigates.


Foxbat Fighter
Swarm your enemy with angry bees!  The foxbat wing is cheap and plentiful, for the thrifty commander who needs a heaps of fighters.


Tracer Heavy Bomber
Big boom in small package; these babies will light up the system with the heat they're packin'.  Just be sure to bring plenty of supplies.
