Can I just check something here? You mention that this includes a number of components from other mods. Did you get permission from the mods' original authors to distribute this? If not then it would be polite to do so.

:lol:

Split T-Rex
This ship – is one of the most carefully protected secrets of Family Rhonkar. There are a lot of rumors about this ship spread among intelligent services of all races, but the real information about T-Rex is solely known only to a thousand Splits, and everyone of them is closely spyed day and night by another thousand, who in their turn are also watched by another ten thousand. Constructed at the completely automatic shipyard, that is a prototype for an ex-Xenon shipyard, designed by a genius engineer, whose name is still unknown to the Argon Secret Services, these ships combine all the leading technologies of all six races, though those technologies have been obtained by Split Military Intelligence by all means possible. Commandeered by honorable war-aces of Rhonkar Family, a squadron of fifty such space fighting machines is under the direct control of His Royalty of all Split Families, moreover this squadron has to stay as close to His Royalty location as within a mizura. It is really hard to estimate the market price of such a ship, but ever-enterprising Teladi are ready to offer the price comparable to the price of a cruiser or several corvettes for at least one such fighter.</t>

Argon Supernova
Being a secret modification of heavy argon fighter, Supernova was designed by a Mitch construction office' team and by request of Argon Secret Service for the purpose of reconnaissance and diversion operations on enemy territories. The main defect of original Nova – low speed – has been eliminated. The split technologies are widely used in new ship's engines. Beside that it's hull was constructed of light composite materials, which allowed significantly reduce it's mass and increase it's cargo bay. It's arsenal has also been revised along with the capacity of it's generators and shields which were greatly increased in power. Though this new fighter turned to be very expensive and the question of using it in the regular Argon army has not been risen yet, however the Argon Secret Service actively uses it in their very own operations.</t>

Boron Swordfish
During the Boron Octopus modification' project, the joint group of Boron’ and Argon’ engineers have broken away on the modernisation of the initial project so that their final prototype has shown even better results on test than existing Boron heavy fighter Barracuda which is currently at the service in Kingdom of Boron. The decision committee has come to a conclusion to equip the Boron elite fightergroup along with Special Servise with that kind of spacecraft. In the nearest future Swordfish ships must replace Barracuda-class fighters, and light version of this new type of spaceship will replace Octopus fighters.</t>

Pirate Drakkar
For a long time pirates have been using different parts of captured ships along with ones bought from Teldi in their transporters. Most recently pirate “Clan of the Wolf”, consisted of Argon and Boron races, headed by Argon woman called Lilly Serra began to use these new transporters and deliver them to other pirate clans. As compared to an average pirate ship, made of space rubbish, Drakkar has a lot of advantages in it's design. Since the location of the “Clan of the Wolf” base stays known to none of the Special Services, and it is even rumored that the base is located in an unknown sector behind the disclosed warpgates, most of the analysts agreed that Drakkars is being constructed at that very base and that this mistirious base possesses at least the small size shipyard.</t>

Teladi Warbird
Warbird is a well armed, maneuverable and high-speed heavy fighter, designed by Argon engineers. This fighter has won the tender by Teladi Corporation, leaving far behind Paranids and Teladi competitors. Even four yazuras ago military analysts presented to Board Of Directors of Teladi Corporation the report, in which they forecasted the decreasing of Falcon' competitive abilities on military market. The first reason, in the opinion of analysts, is a lot of mistakes in ship designing, as Teladi develop and use even combat ships more for trading, than for making war. However, one who possessessssss more deadly weapon, getsssssssss greater profitsssss, and so Board Of Directors made a decision to obtain for their army a new fighter, solely for combat. For this purpose they organized the contest, which was finaly won by Argon design agency of Mick Yan

With respect :lol:

Copyright is implied. It does not have to be stated.

besides that it's just plain polite to ask.

I can't imagine anyone would say no, but some of us are touchy about not actually being asked first.

I am trully sorry but sometimes its quite difficult to find the MAN in time

I would be very pleased if You transfer me to the authors!!!

With respect

p.s.: and the author of this mod asks to imply the copyright into the mod or the address of the creator in order to be easily connected with! or not to reproach with another authors! I repeat: no one wants to make money!!!!! or is it "from russian pilots" looking so strain? :D

For what it's worth,
I asked Aalaardb once and he didn't seem to mind:

How are you?
Thought I'd ask you if you minded if I split out your scripts from the rest of the 'bundle' in the mwm. As the patrol, station accountant, etc. scripts get upgraded and reworked, I thought it might be nice to have a modular version of your war scripts independent of the other stuff. That way the more 'power users' that want to use your stuff with whichever other scripts they want have the ability to.
Cheers
Doing well thanks, had so much fun doing this mod and the scripts that I'm learning C++ now. Sure, you can do anything you want to the scripts. Actually, I myself am bowing out soon too, so it would be good for someone to continue on. However don't in any way feel obligated, as I have left version 1.8 as bug free as possible.
but as stated, it's probably polite to at least make an attempt to check first. ;)

In latest version of this mod another ship is added:

Galaxy-class liner
These huge liners are used by White Star Lines Pan-Galaxy Corporation for cruising between five main sectors of all five races, and at the same time for transporting any cargo. The cargo bay of this monstrous size` ship is so large that it can carry a number of big plants. At the same time it`s passenger cabins are as defiant as it`s size. There are plans at W.S.L. HQ to give life to five such superliners. First three of them - Titanic, Gigantic and Atlantic have already furrow the seas of space.

Somebody mentioned on this board, a while back, that in-game ships are actually scene files - they are built of components: hull, cockpit, guns, engines, turrets, etc.... So I assume they've simply compiled new scene-file ships. (One of the nice side-effects of this construction method is the "disintegration" we witness when a ship is destroyed. Good call, Egosoft.)
