[b][size=24]Released! Version 1.0 of the Deadly Ship & Station mod with Scripts by Red Spot (DDRS)[/size][/b]

[b][color=cyan]The DDRS mod has been developed expressly for X3, but does contain elements of my prior work that was originally showcased in X2.  However, Since for me playing around with custom ships is nothing new...IMHO the real highlight of the DDRS mod are the scripts.  These were specifically developed for the mod by Red Spot.

In the past, I have simply "dumped" all of the custom ships into shipyards so the player could buy them as soon as they had the necessary credits (and race relations).

However, that isn't the way things work in "Real Life", now is it?  As the old saying goes...TANSTAAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch)!

So, thanks to the efforts of Red Spot, you have to actually "participate" in process of introducing new ships into the game.  The way in we have decided to accomplish this sounds simple, but in fact required some very sophisticated scripting to bring to fruition.  See the section titled "Game Play" to get an understanding of how it all works.

One other thing, this mod is the first official release of Red Spot's PHQ ship-building scripts.  This very powerful feature lets you "build" ships at your own HQ (using the custom Asteroid Base that you can purchase, or via a very "challenging" mission).  This is not a "cheat", that allows you to create ships at extremely low cost.  You must first "feed" the PHQ ship-building facility with a "template" of the ship you want to build, and then provide the necessary resources.  It also takes a fair bit of time (no "instant" gratification here!), and as you would naturally expect, it will take considerably longer to build a big ship, than it does a small one.  To use the Buster as an example, it takes roughly 45min to create the initial template, and 1.5 hours to build one from scratch.[/color][/b]

[color=#0000ff]-------------------------
Main Features:
-------------------------[/color]

1. Includes 24 custom ship models.
2. Two custom stations (an asteroid base, and a new shipyard).
3. An extensive script package to gradually introduce the stations and ships by completing missions during game play.
4. Tweaks to all existing M6, M2, M1, and TL ships to enable external docking.  The M6 gets fighters (M5, M4, and M3), while the TL, M1, and M2 class ships can dock TS, TP, and M6 class ships (as well as fighters).
5. All Terran ships are fully functional.
6. Significant performance improvements due to the use of Red Spot's reduced asteroid map, and by including several of the most important performance tweaks from the 1.3.1 Open Beta.
7. The TWareT.txt file contained in the Community Extended Mod Pack (EMP) is included, so scripts that use this file for wares should work without alteration.

Release History:
-------------------------[/color]

++ Version 1.0 - Initial public release.  The first version of the full mod for public consumption.  It contains 24 ships, 2 stations, and the "core" script pack by Red Spot.

++ Preview Release - Revision A:  Switched the Asteroid Base to old X2-style textures, until I can figure out why the load times are excessive. 

++ Preview Release:  This is primarily a "technology" demo, to show off some of the custom ships and new features and textures of X3.  It includes some "bare bones" scripts to create (and re-spawn, as needed) a shipyard, equipment dock, and Asteroid Base (as the Player HQ).  This version is fully functional, and contains 16 ships and 1 custom station. 

[color=#0000ff]-------------------------
Credits:
-------------------------[/color]

++ Doubleshadow for the best development "workbench" any modder could ask for.  Without his tools, I simply would not have bothered.
++ Red Spot for investing a significant amount of time and effort in developing the script set for the mod.  The Mod also use his 'roid reduction files.  (Imitated, but never matched!)
++ Shade (shadowlands@mweb.co.za) - Original concept art for the Teladi M2 Grendel (aka Protector).
++ For the inspiration on the B-Wing, Tie Defender, Tie Bomber, and Tie Interceptor, all credit to "Dr. Jones" <docteur.jones@wanadoo.fr>.  This guy is one of the premier modelers of Star Wars ships, and it is unfortunate that X3 cannot handle polygon count in his original models...they are gorgeous!  Being able to use his excellent work as "templates, and as a reference has made many of my Star Wars ships possible.
++ The Roger Young is based on a model by Gerard Dolan & Marc-Laurent "Magma" Magnier.  I have built each part (mesh) from scratch, keeping the poly-count to a minimum, but I would be remiss if I did not credit the excellent work of Gerard and Marc-Laurent.
++ The Monsoon Gunboat and Starfury models are based on the work of Fabio Passaro.  As with several other ships, the original meshes were starting points, and I have taken substantial liberties when remodeling the ships.
++ The YT-2400 "Outrider" is based on a mesh by Sebastian Hirsch (Mojo).
++ The Sulaco is based on a great mesh made by D. Procter (dproc@ozemail.com.au).

[color=#0000ff]-------------------------
What this mod is not:
-------------------------[/color]

It is what I call a "foundation" mod.  By that, I mean it is something that alters the basic graphical content of the game, but outside of some additional missions does not in itself substantially alter the game play.  There are many scripts that can be run to alter and/or enhance trading, combat, difficulty, or the basic configuration of the X3 galaxy.  This mod does not do those things (or, at least not to any great extent).

Once the "core" X3 retail game is stable, and all Egosoft-supplied features are fully implemented, I may consider an optional re-balance "extension".

At this point in the X3 development cycle, I prefer to use a small number of scripts in my game to "adjust" the game-play to my own personal preference.  For those that are interested, I identify these scripts in the readme.txt file that comes in the mod package, in the section titled "My personal script set".

[color=#0000ff]-------------------------
What it is:
-------------------------[/color]

1. A fully playable compilation of 24 new (additional) ships, and two new stations (a custom shipyard, and an asteroid-base that can be used as a player HQ, and which can dock all classes of ships).

2. The mod can be played both with, or without, the X3 plot.

3. There are two alterations to the standard galaxy map; I have relocated the gates in Presidents End to expanded the usable size of the sector, and the number or asteroids has been reduced by Red Spot to improve performance.

4. A number of the key performance alterations and bug fixes from the 1.3.2 Open Beta have also been included.

5. The Red Spot scripts that are incorporated into the base mod do two things; a) they used to introduce the custom ships in a gradual fashion, and b) they provide a new capability...building ships at your custom HQ (once you get one).

6. All the Pirate bases now use the custom Asteroid Base as their model, rather than the Mobile Pirate Station.  You will know it when you see it...after all, it is built into an asteroid!  It is capable of docking all classes of ships, with capacity for 4 M1/M2/TL class ships, and 10 TP/TS/M6 class ships.  If there is a limit on the number of fighters it can hold, I haven't found it.  (The Asteroid Base can be purchased at the custom shipyards.)

7. The custom ships are distributed across 5 additional shipyards...one for each of the 5 races.  As described elsewhere, the shipyards are introduced gradually, as the player travels through the various sectors of the X3 universe. 

8. At this point, there has been no attempt to allocate ships to the races based on the "racial characteristics" (e.g. the Split have fast powerful ships with limited shielding), nor have I tried to texture the ships to match the ones used by each race.  The only purpose of the 5 new shipyards is to provide a place for the player to purchase the new ships.

M1 (Sulaco) Sold By: Split, Teladi - Originally developed as an M2 replacement for the Split Python, it was never put in service to it's high-cost of manufacture.  It has been completely redesigned as an M1, and now boasts a docking capacity of 91 ships (90 internal, and 1 external for TP/TS/M6-class ships) and carries 40 lasers in 6 turrets.  While it is quite slow and difficult to maneuver, it carries 10GJ of shielding to compensate.

M1 (Odin) Sold By: Argon - The Odin is a variant of the primary Earth Fleet Battlecruiser class, armed with advanced weaponry and fighter bays. It been extensively re-worked by the Argon, and is currently undergoing testing at a secret Argon Shipyard.  It provides a docking capacity of 40 ships (40 internal, and 1 external for TP/TS/M6-class ships) and carries 40 lasers in 6 turrets.  While it is quite slow and difficult to maneuver, it carries 12GJ of shielding to compensate.

M1 (ISD) Sold by: Teladi - The Imperator-class Star Destroyer (ISD), is based on technology found in the ruins of a metallic moon-like object from Earth's ancient past.  The the Red Spot Salvage and Construction Wharfs managed to "acquire" a copy of the plans, and has since built several of these monsters.  Only available to those with almost unlimited funds, the ISD carries 48 lasers in six 8-laser turrets.  Because it carries so many weapons, the ISD has only enough docking capacity for 38 ships (one of which is external for TP/TS/M6-class ships), and carries 900GJW of advanced shielding.  With all of the weaponry and it's great size, the ISD is fairly slow, and accelerates and maneuvers quite poorly.

==============================

TL (Hulk) Sold By: All Races - Originally a development project of the Terrans, the plans for the ship were eventually "found" by the Red Spot Salvage and Construction Wharf, and turned into a TL/M2 hybrid.  It is one of the smaller TL class ships, but offers a significantly stronger hull, shielding, and weapons package.  With its speed and maneuverability, this ship has become a favorite of the so-called "free traders" that roam the X3 galaxy.

==============================

TS (YT-1300) Sold By: All Races - The YT-1300 is loosely based on the stock light freighter of the same designation manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation.  Heavily armed with 2 quad-laser turrets, and excellent speed and maneuverability, this ship is much sought after by smugglers.  While it has limited cargo capacity and no front weapons, it does carry 125MJ of advanced shielding.

The center section is the living quarters, and the two upper "wing" sections are the graving docks for larger ships.  The two graving docks can each hold 2 M1/M2/TL class ships, and up to 5 TP, TS, and M6 class ships.
