Nightside beauty shot. You can see a red class Y planet in the background.

Galaxy class visiting a particle fountain around a class J planet.

Sovereign class leaving an M class planet. A black hole is also visible around the cerulean nebula.

Still some work left to be done on background objects. The star field still has low-res texture spots, and only about half of all the planets are ready. For the time being, we're working towards making the Borg cooperate with the AI

Also, we're desperately trying to find a solution to keeping track of all the files. Seems like whenever we make a beta version for the team to test, files go missing all over the place. Now we're hoping to do away with compiling beta versions of the mod, and just keep the files synchronized via a subversion repository (a program that keeps track of file changes and stores old versions of all files).
Hopefully this will let us spend more time modding rather than tracking down errors.
