[MOD REQUEST/QUESTION] Ship Changes

from Sins Forums

Are there any mods out there which just changes the way  certain ships look? I'm not entirely fond as to how some of the ships look in this game... (Specifically TEC and some of advent's ships) Vasari ships are probably the best looking but for some reason I hate them due to how the wave gun particle looks. Are there any up to date mods which make them a little more pleasing to the eye?

Not really, anyone who can model good enough to make a plausible ship replacement has probably made their own race instead. ;)   If you're not afraid of some do it yourself though you might checkout some of the models the new factions in the Maelstrom mod, they are basically rearranged pieces of Sins ships.

 

There are particle replacement mods though.

The problem I have with those custom races they generally don't stay updated or cause mini dumps due to touching things other than aesthetics. Do you know any good ones up and about currently? Specifically for Rebellion. I might try my hand at modeling...

The big ones do stay up to date, and a good chunk of mini dumps with mods are do to the fact you need to lower you graphics settings to avoid hitting the 2GB RAM limit. If you do that the good ones will be fairly stable. And I was suggesting that for your personal use you could take a model from a mod and replace one of the ships you don't like.
