Way too powerful of a ship. I took out a dred with this little destroyer. On balanced power settings it has effectively infinite light weapon energy, and my shields didn't drop below 90%. It looks amazing, but please scale its power down to match the other destroyers.

Hey: GuyWithThePants !!! This is .... Truly One of the Most Fun and Functional Ships ever added in.... BUT !!! This is so well done, that I would Spot you $50.00 Clamolas to do all known Starfleet, Klingon, Romulan, Gem Hadar, and all the other envisioned models of the whole series of Star Trek versions ! No... Wait.... Honestly, if you do all the ships and weapons and everything in a Unified Module, that would please include the huge Startrek Enterprize version:

from the far distant future when Star Fleet has Temporal Agents, and if possible some weapons and devices on that huge ship that employ temporal D.E.W.'s and augumentations too !!!
afederowicz 7 Mar, 2018 @ 11:45pm 
So I would spot you a two stage payment of $100.00 .... Look, I know it does not even come close to covering your time, but It will help, and it will also show some real gratitude for your efforts here... I want to help out, and even though I'm not made of money here, if more of us stand up and help as we are able, this already incredible mod series can maybe become athe Cult Classic within a Space Sim, that has already gone Above and Beyond... So Thank GWTP ! Yours Is truly a Work that will be remembered as the Height of Creative Excellence !!!!

Bravo !!! awesome mod!!!

Great mod.
Hathur 7 Oct, 2017 @ 11:48am 
neat mod, but I had to severely reduce its stats. It was more powerful defensive-wise than most battleships (its shield amount was battleship level basically and its regen is 2.5x faster than most battleships or dreadnoughts). The price of the ship, as it currently is, should be more in line with the biggest ships. Also the weapon recharge speed is obscene, it is basically impossible to drain the weapon power even a little, even with weapon power reduced to 5%.

It took a bit of time and practice but it's easy but time consuming once you get the hang of it. I also used models from http://www.trekmeshes.ch/ as well. I have no 3d modeling experience or texture mapping experience. All I did was follow the instructions on the link to build a ship, asked questions in the steam SPGW modding forum, and downloaded paint.net as well as Autodesk 3ds 2017 which is free for a month. What I'm trying to say is that it's my hope that someone else picks up the torch while I'm out of commission. Just be sure if or when you publish, you give credit to the ones that made the models and textures. I am also a decent resources for any questions about modding for this game as well as Geek.
Guywiththepants  [author] 5 Aug, 2017 @ 8:59am 
@sinistar at the time being no. I do not have a PC at the moment and am saving up for a new one. Keep in mind that all the ship's I have modded were not my own. I simply ripped ship models and map textures from other games (ie starpoint gemini 2 for all the federation ships) and followed the instructions here: http://www.moddb.com/games/starpoint-gemini-warlords/tutorials/creating-a-ship-of-your-own continued
sinistar 5 Aug, 2017 @ 6:40am 
@Guywiththepants, do you plan on bringing any more of the ST vessels ? I would love to see the Excelsior, Steamrunner, Miranda, Constitution of course, or classic Klingon ones.
sinistar 5 Aug, 2017 @ 6:39am 
@Vallhart, Thanks, it worked, as a matter of fact, all sides are reversed, top with bottom, left with right, front with the back.
Guywiththepants  [author] 5 Aug, 2017 @ 5:41am 
Np man, Yes the shield strength itself should be on par or a little above other destroyer classes. But the shield recharge is really high... So if you have all your power to your shields, the recharge is off the charts. And whether your power is to weapons, shields, engines, or balanced a small group of enemies is no match. But if you play around with the power distribution during a big battle your shields will drop to zero.
Vallhart 4 Aug, 2017 @ 8:55pm 
Ok Guy I just wanted to be sure it wasnt an issue on my end. Defiant was a big ship in a small package so it makes sense. A fleet of maybe 12 frigs were around me fireing and I didnt see the shields drop below 100% so i thought i was bugged. I just need to use self controle and not over use it. keep up your great work my friend /salute.
sinistar 4 Aug, 2017 @ 2:03pm 
@Vallhart Hmmm, thanks for the tip, will try today. Bottoms up :D
Guywiththepants  [author] 4 Aug, 2017 @ 2:03am 
Vallhart, most of the ships that I modded are OPed. But the Defiant is even more so. I wanted to make the ship extremely weapon heavy and be able to take significant damage. However, a big enemy fleet can take you down so it's not invicible. If you wish to change the stats of the ship to make it more balanced, go to steamapps/SPGW/mods/Defiant/models/ships/defiant/defiant.shp this file is on your C drive and it opens as a txt file. It's extremely easy to change any star and to understand. The directory I gave you may not be exactly worded but it should get you there
Vallhart 3 Aug, 2017 @ 1:27pm 
Sinistar you can paint the top you just have to choose bottom its reversed.
Vallhart 3 Aug, 2017 @ 10:16am 
Love the mod, only issue for me is the power of the ship. Not sure if its a bug but it takes no damage unless there are bosses around. is it just that bad ass or is my game messing up?
sinistar 29 Jul, 2017 @ 11:13am 
The top of the ship can't be painted and I can't put decals on it either. Any chance this can be fixed ?
feuerstein 15 Jul, 2017 @ 10:43am 
Die Werte für das normale Spiel sind zu übertrieben, damit macht das Spiel dann keinen Spass mehr...schade
Guywiththepants  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 12:27pm 
@ Steel Dragon. I'm not sure what you are referring to. I remember the fleet power for the defiant mk ll was pretty high due to the amount of turrets and the type of light weapons used. That cost is calculated automatically by the game and cannot be set to a specific amount unless it has changed.
Steel Dragon 23 Jun, 2017 @ 8:53am 
Sorry thats on the defient class
Steel Dragon 23 Jun, 2017 @ 8:53am 
there is an issue once the MKII Version is researched. The fleet cost is 5000. The MKI version is only 2550. Seams the ratio is off there.
Shinigami 3 Jun, 2017 @ 11:17am 
@ platinumwyrm11 You forgot the USS Sao Paolo (renamed into Defiant after the first one was destroyed)^^
Lazy Invincible General 2 Jun, 2017 @ 11:10am 
hmmm.... for me it still says the Defiant is a Cruiser....
Its All Zen 23 May, 2017 @ 7:27pm 
Akira was also refitted with a hanger for the Dominion War and reclassed as a warship. Technically I suppose it would be more like a flight deck cruiser but it was actually a very small hanger and the ship class remained escort-same as the Defiant. Of course there was only ever two Defiants in the shows, the original and then another that had been used as a training ship. The huge power draw issues with the size of the ship made the design a complete bust and the ship design was ultimately scrapped in favor of the more popular Prometheus.. which ended up being a better escort class ship in the end.
viperfan7 16 May, 2017 @ 12:13am 
There's 10 turrets on the front, also, the turrets can shoot though the ship, and the shaddows for the turrets are weird, are the normals inverted by any chance?
Revenus 5 May, 2017 @ 1:49pm 
@Darkon the Defiant was built as a war ship, the intrepid class was built as a long term exploration vessel.
Darkom 30 Mar, 2017 @ 12:20am 
find it wierd that the defiant has more oompf then the intrepid alltough its alot cheaper, same goes for akira but other then that good ships
but can u do something bout textured ships are little to light compared to the other ships
Guywiththepants  [author] 23 Mar, 2017 @ 7:26am 
I appreciate the review -AKEVA-BNSHEE- constructive criticism is always welcome.
-AKEVA-BANSHEE- 22 Mar, 2017 @ 9:00pm 
Okay so here is my review of this mod.
Ship Battle Power 10/10
Ship Overall look compared to to tthe TV show version 6/10
---Minus 2 points for engine trails/placement Minus 1 point for paint job, and minus one point the turretts being a bit to big.
Ship implentation 9/10
Matching implimentation of lore to SPGW 10/10
Overall rating 7.5/10
Amazing work!
Guywiththepants  [author] 20 Mar, 2017 @ 2:25pm 
In some yes. Some gladiatrix allow this class ship. Not all tho.
-AKEVA-BANSHEE- 20 Mar, 2017 @ 9:20am 
Is this ship capable of participating in the Gladiatrix?
Revenus 7 Mar, 2017 @ 8:07pm 
@guywiththepants I didn't realize that, good to know about the acceleration thing though.
Guywiththepants  [author] 2 Mar, 2017 @ 5:14am 
@Revenus all ships have the same top impulse speed in this game. However, getting to your top speed faster is based on your Mass. Bigger ships like a Carrier have a Mass of 600 and can take a little while to reach Top impulse. This ship has a mass of 190 so it reaches top speed pretty fast or a little over 3x faster Acceleration than a carrier
Revenus 1 Mar, 2017 @ 5:17pm 
What's the speed rating for this ship?
[SW-GQ]Mania 21 Feb, 2017 @ 1:12am 
hmmm looks like my Game/savegame got some problems with the Reputation
Checked several times the error log everytime i got some Faction errors

Thank you for your help i try a new game and hope that will fix it :)
Guywiththepants  [author] 20 Feb, 2017 @ 7:24pm 
And a bit more info would be great if u don't mind. Like is it truly random when it crashes or does it happen when ur on battle? Or a large battle? Or anything specific that ur doing when it crashes. And also the light weapons u have equipped. That may help me figure out what is happening
Guywiththepants  [author] 20 Feb, 2017 @ 7:15pm 
I'm not sure why it keeps crashing. When your game crashes, can you post a copy of the of a few line from the errorlog.txt. And if you want to modify the batwing all you have to do is go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starpoint Gemini Warlords\Mods\Batwing\Data\Models\Ships\Batwing and right click on Batwing.shp and open it with notepad. In there you can change hull strength, shield strength, shield resistance or what ever you wish to whatever makes you happy. Its all written very clear so its easy to edit the numbers
[SW-GQ]Mania 20 Feb, 2017 @ 7:09pm 
hmm i dont know why i can play 2H with the batwing all fine when i switch to defiant every 10mins crash i reinstalled the game and the mod removed the weapons ect same problem :-/

Can you make a bether variant of the Batwing :D (equal to the defiant shields) ?
[SW-GQ]Mania 20 Feb, 2017 @ 2:27pm 
k thank you will check this :)
Guywiththepants  [author] 20 Feb, 2017 @ 2:02pm 
@SW hmmm strange. I haven't had any crashes from it. I mainly fly the defiant. I still do get random crashes. Sometimes hailing my own fleet does it. Also using numerous beam weapons with lower class ships crashes the game at times. If that happens u have to unmount and remount the weapon. My advice is to check your logerror.txt. as long as the error isn't in the directory of the mod in question (mods/Defiant/data/models/ships/Defiant) then it's a bug in the game
[SW-GQ]Mania 20 Feb, 2017 @ 12:57pm 
nice ship but i got random crashes when i fly it :-/ all other ships from you woerks perfect only this one i got problems
Teo 18 Feb, 2017 @ 12:37am 
Very nice, thumbs!
sombieHunter 10 Feb, 2017 @ 12:26pm 
SHIPS!!! WOOT! thank you
Przemba 10 Feb, 2017 @ 11:50am 
Guywiththepants - thank you very much :)
sinistar 8 Feb, 2017 @ 12:54pm 
Oh FFS! Why did you do that! Now I'm forced to buy Warlords.... Noooooooooo!
Great job man, it's really great looking - my fav ship.
