Ship model replacements (this is the largest category, and has subcatagories.) All of these replacements have attendant stat changes, many are hybridized between the originating mod's stats and those of XTC.

-Ocelot changed to Cadius' Drake model, with attendant performance envelope changes. stats somewhere between the two.

-the Teladi EQ dock now uses Cadius' model
-changed Teladi Militarily base to Cadius' Teladi Shipyard model.
-all EQ docks have been changed to their respective SY models, and all MB are now respective Warfs. (except Teladi Terran, and Argon)
I also gave TL's a sane amount of shielding and bumped up the storage bins on the T0's a bit. no other changes.
now a note: some of these ships aren't set up for XTC's pretty engine glows, and I've no idea how to do so. if you know how and do change this, please, put up the altered model or scene (or both) file(s) somewhere so I can replace the ones being used right now. none of the new ships will spawn on their own, or appear in shipyards. if a scripter wants to fix that, go right on ahead, but again, please put it up somewhere so I can use it in future versions.
all the model replacements spawn properly. no need to worry there.
Disclaimer:
I make no claim on any of the models in this minimod. they are the work of other people, all I've done is put them together in an XTC-friendly way. Further, kindly do not complain on the XTC thread if this mod breaks your game. I am not part of the XTC team, and this is by no means an official XTC release. this mod was written to work with XTC version 1.1, I cannot guarantee it will work with any other version.

***Edit***Oh, I was just coming on here to remove the link... realized I uploaded the wrong version, and it's all glitchy 'cause I was halfway through getting it clear of any non-original content (or content, like the Shipexpansion stuff, that states it can be used provided credit is given) pending me asking. but it wouldn't matter anyhow, since the removed linky was a bollixed version anyway!
I suppose I should clarify: the version I intend to upload only contained Types files, as well as a readme explaining how to make stripped-down versions of the .cats of the dependent mods. now that I've got internet again (read: stupid E-billing didn't work and the internet cut off) I'll go around and ask folks if they mind. after all, it only takes one button press to remove content people don't want spread around.
now If you'll excuse me, I've gotta finish this text resource so none of the XTC content needs to be replaced.
in the meantime, go play XTC, DDTC or X-tra! or all of them!
