well, you know, some of them WILL be released, its just it takes a LOT of time to create models and texture them. also thers a good chance that people will not allow you to use them in your own mod (unless you never release it, which is still iffy). most people will just say, learn to do it yourself because they had to. there really is not a lot of active modelers in this community surprisingly. thers only like 3-4 people that i know of that are actualy creating new models. your best bet is to find models on the internet and rig them with 3DS max  (or XSI if thats what you have) and texture them yourself and then convert it to .mesh and add the textures.

lol shadow, your a little aggressive lately, try to tone it down a bit. wouldnt want to get in trouble by being to agressive.

You have not looked around enough... in 7DS, you have the vanilla races and a copy on steroid of the vanilla races...

The TEC, Advent and Vasari are almost not changed... The TCA, The Unity and The dark are the vanilla race on steroid... these vanilla race on steroid was needed because the fully new races was too much strong...

In the release who will be out today ( 7DS 2.0 ), not all the ship and structure are new models... it don't mean that new models don't already exist... Modder, texturer and modeler are working on them... for example, below, you can see new models who will replace the Vasari models...

One advice... try to make one model yourself, design it, segment it, make the UV, texture it, make the hardpoint, convert it to .mesh, create the ability, the entity file, the icon, etc... If you are good, you will be able to make one model in one month... not, count the number of models in Vanilla, add the orbital structure... and you will see the huge work who is needed... after this, you will maybe understand the long delay for release a mod, the huge work who is invested in it...

there really is not a lot of active modelers in this community surprisingly. thers only like 3-4 people that i know of that are actualy creating new models.

StCobalt, you will be surprised... being a modeler myself, i know maybe 10 other... and this from only a few mods... Texturer is a other problem... i have begin texture my own model because it is hard to find a 2D artist for paint the texture... but until not, the more big problem is too find people able to use XSI, a obligate step... i have try, follow the Stardock tutorial, but it is always misluck... in the last few month, i have maybe make 50 models... but only one have go over the XSI step and have be see in game ( covenant carrier from the halo mod )...

Well then..my replies will only become all the more bitter! Prepare for CARNAGE!!!!

+_+

im not saying any of you suck, in my view a lot of the ones that dont get release are actualy the most promising simply because the people making them get hired!
