Hi Everyone,
Here is Dr_Breen's ships he sent me awhile ago (sorry it took so long to post). The ship pack has been setup with 256x256 gifs to be more compatible with some mods.
In this ship pack is new dominion ships, new borg ships, new cardassian ships, new federation ships, 1 klingon and 1 romulan ship.
As always this is for personal use only
If yo plan to use any part of these file in a mod you need to ask permission first.

Seventh tutorial; How to lower palettes used.
this will reduce used palette from 119 to 102. By all races and minors using the same explosions textures.
Fisrt you will need to download these files;
palette.rar
Download and unrar to location of your choice.
Next open UE and add files to res file from edit\Other\Files.
Next use add button and browse for the file you just downloaded. Then add all file from "gifs and hobs" folder.
If you have made no changes to res file you can also add palette.lst from "vanilla palette.lst" folder.
If you added palette.lst you are done. and save.
If you did not add palette.lst you will need to set palette for gifs.
With UE from edit\Graphics\Textures.
Next select cbboom.gif from drop down menu and select "use own palette"
next repeat last step with cgndexp.gif, csboom.gif, cshock.gif from drop down menu.
Next select fbboom.gif and click on remove.
next repeat last step for fgndexp.gif, fsboom.gif, fshock.gif, hbboom.gif, hgndexp.gif, hsboom.gif, hshock.gif, kbboom.gif, kgndexp.gif, ksboom.gif, mbboom.gif, mgndexp.gif, msboom.gif, rbboom.gif, rgndexp.gif, rsboom.gif, rshock.gif.
Next click on trim palette list and save.

Hi everyone,
Here is a new ship pack "Ship Pack 1" This ship pack has a few new ships but most are from old ship install post.
Also I have been working with DCER and he has added a preview image option for each ship in UE. and in tooltips (when mouse is over ship thumb) in UE it will give size of ship model in kb. this can be used to determine if model is a high poly ship or a low poly ship model.
vanilla model sizes: 1kb-89kb
low poly model size: 90kb-225kb
high poly model size: 226-up
I am sure some people will think 225kb would be a high poly but 500kb is max limit of hob files.
remember if you plan on releasing any models in any way you need permission from creator. creator info is also in new tooltips option of UE.
Note; these option are only on UE 0.6.8a
ship_pack_1.zip
Here is a preview of the 64 ships in this ship pack 1.
