Hello im not a modding guru or anything like that but. I see all the Star Trek NG mods but what about a Star Trek: Enterprise MOD? I know there aren't many ships in the show but its just a suggestion
If you want something that captures the Enterprise experience, paint a wall and watch it dry.
then talk about it and its ramifications on humanity's social and moral development with a liberal, pluralist, and elitist bias.
then shoot yourself twice. once for being a fan of the show and again for wanting a mod of it.

That would be ALL of Trek, if you had been paying attention. Not that it's a bad thing.
I think I would rather slit my wrists and do push-ups in salt water before playing an Enterprise Mod.....
Enterprise simply stepped on too many toes, who makes a series that conflicts with Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Rura Penthe, oh wait that's exactly what Enterprise did.
If you can't tell, I'm a Progressivist.
It's very merciful of you not to bring up how it invalidated 'Q Who?', broke the timeline concerning cloaking and viewscreens, bogged the viewers down with an ill designed 'temporal cold war', and generally put the last nail in the franchise's coffin.
Yes, DS9 did much to take the focus away from humans and delve into the darker side of necessity, as war often does. I felt it was the most underrated series of the bunch.
The term is Progressive.
And this isn't a political forum so I won't get into it but the progressive agenda is generally responsible for the rise of minority poverty, stunted education, multi-generational welfare & divorce in this country so I wouldn't really be applauding them.
Yeah, neither is great.
Trek just hopes that man can manage to better itself. We have our bumps, even after inventing the Heisenberg Compenator.
Don't listen to the haters 
the scale of ENT suits a RPG or other similar game, a 4xRTS game demands a larger scale, which is featured in TNG and DS9
This, I think, sums up the entirety of Trek. That humanity, or really any species, could manage to better itself without any help.
Which I hold to be positively stupid. Incidentally, this is one thing I rather like about Warhammer 40,000 (which itself is somewhat of a complete inverse to Trek in the first place)- that too much advancement, too quickly, without any thought to the eldritch horrors which may or may not exist, can cause utter destruction.
I mean, when the background of a setting is that one alien race became so advanced that they needed to do no work, and could pursue hedonism without end and at all times, and they end up producing a god of excess that wants to eat their souls, well.........I think that provides a very interesting, if fantastical, illustration as to why that kind of "technology can be used to better ourselves without end" mentality.
Star Trek is inherently deep in idealism, but at the sime time they could only have a tv show because things were not perfect and there was conflict. It's not something we expect to really work out, but it's better to hope for salvation and work toward it than to give up and allow ourselves to die away without any effort to the contrary.
Remember, philosophies are in themselves self-fulfilling prophecies.
When it comes to ENT contradicting canon or something, Star trek Canon is not concrete, Gene considered most of the movies uncanon and certain elements of others. Star Trek canon changes episode by episode, Gene was known to modify it so i wouldn't worry about the contradictions. ENT was just doing what Star Trek does, changing stuff!
But yes, ENT does not suit this sort of game. Most factions did not have many class of ships shown and races like the Xindi and Vulcans would be way more powerful than factions like Star Fleet who didn't even have shields!
The SOA team seems to have already done a good enough job with their mods. Maybe you can talk them into a period expansion (of sorts).
Got French blood in me. We have to do things intentionally different.
Who cares, Rebellion won't be stable by the 2012 doomsday event when a comet that's been slingshot through galaxies for the past 3.2 billion years finally hits the bulls-eye on the dunk tank at the center of ours plunging everything down the drain.
comedic ain't it?
What about The Original Series? I would really like to see that in a Sins mod. Why would you want an ENT mod before a TOS mod?
[rant]
It would be hard to make an ENT mod as the technology would either have to ignore the technology in the show or it would be so sporadic and illogical people would quit playing after the first ten minutes. Also, there would only be one ship class, unless you did what the series did and just added anything you wanted for the sake of shits and giggles.

^ That pretty much sums up my continuity complaints. It's not that they were always perfect, but they rarely got as messy as they did with ENT.
Remember all the explanations we got about why the Klingons looked different in TNG? I think that will have to be "the talk" I have with my son as soon as he is old enough to understand. It's really alot harder to explain than sex, which he can learn about from TV.
Well, DS9 did a great job of just writing it off as a joke and the last season of ENT came up with a good excuse.
I just tell people, "This is what happens when a race gets a bigger budget."
What was the exact reason in TNG again?
Why not have the TEC faction be the Coalition of Planets, the Vasari the Romulans, and the Advent the Klingons?
Roughly.
There's too many damn Star Trek mods for SoaSE as it is. Seems sort of like an over-saturated market.
I think that's true of all the big mainstream buggers. Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate. The more popular, the more people that want to jump on it. They need to do more collaborative efforts.
