Very nice! I don't normally use mods but I'll make an exception for this one.

Looks awesome.

Just one gripe, those shadows don't look right... I mean there is no actual shadowing in game so it seems out of place.

Look great, and I will absolutely use it.

Small nitpick/question... Are the Space Ports canon?

Look like great quality images! Couple of problems I have though;

Using the nx-01 enterprise as a cruiser doesn't seem right. Keep the ships in the same timeline or give a range of different timeline ships. ie Kirks Enterprise as a destroyer, Picards stargazer as a frigate etc.

I can see the engines are located at the ends of the warp nacelles. I think it would look best if the engines were placed at the location of the impulse engines (none at all would be best but I don't know if that's possible). Usually the impulse engines are located at the rear of the saucer section on most federation designs.

Hope I don't sound too critical. Really appreciate the time and effort that you modders put into these and this some great stuff.[:)]

I don't have a problem with the shadows, it gives the ships a nice sense of solidity.
Try putting some drop shadow under the  bases, it helps them feel like they are orbiting planets, increases the sense of depth.
-good work.
looking forward to running this set!

The Large, Medium and small spaceports are from Star Trek: Enterprise - "The Expanse". Their just different views from the same station. The Gas and mining stations are from the Midas array. Resort base is a modified Jupiter station. I might change some of the stations to see if others fit the job better, but it looks nice ingame as is.

I could put them there and see how it looks in game, or I might release a modified version for the people who don't want the engine effect. It might look a bit plain in game though, I could try changing the engine effects to something else and see how that goes.

Version 1 will just be U.F.P. and Starfleet ships & bases, as it progresses I will add more races.

Yes that perfectly possible, I'm going to release this as a Customization Theme. So you'll have to copy the BSG ships into a race that hasnt been used yet for the Star Trek theme.

It was the Large, Medium and small spaceports I was thinking off. That their from Enterpise explains that. Haven't watched that so much. The rest of the spacestations look familiar.

If you prefer them, then np, it's your mod [8D]

I vote for the "engines located at the rear of the saucer section" too. The nacelles are only for warp. At least change color to blue if possible.

FYI: I just went to the web site and DL'd your Star Trek pack. Thank you for an excellent pack. Definitely first rate stuff. However, when I went to the website you are using to upload the stuff I got a scareware attack. I don't know if it was from the website or not. Has anyone else had this happen? [&:]

What was the message you got? Was it when you entered the site or when downloading the package?
