Trader Emergency Coalition

Description
NOTE: It is absolutely vital that you download the 'DOF-Shipset-Common Library' addon from here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=505348416. Failure to do so will have unpredictable effects, the least of which will invariably be that all hulls will be untextured black blobs - worst-case scenario, the game may cease functioning altogether!

Desperate, and unable to mount a resistance on their own, many worlds ceded their authority, transforming the Order into the Trader Emergency Coalition. United under a single banner, we finally stood a fighting chance - our vast commercial fleet was slowly retooled into a shield against the alien invaders.

A TEC (Trader Emergency Coalition) shipset ported from Sins of a Solar Empire. Does not have any default designs. Includes custom hex limits through use of the Hex Limit Modifier.

Credits:

- Original shipset's (1.0) models and textures sourced from Space Empires 5 shipset by Prometeu of spaceempires.net. (Said shipset is no longer available for download.)
- Additional models for 2.0 retrieved from Myfist's stash on OneDrive. (No idea where the 'Myfist' in question is active, presumably one of the SoaSE modding forums. :P)
- All textures in 2.0 and 2.1, including upgrades for 1.0 assets, retrieved directly from SoaSE: Rebellion assets by Ironclad Games. (The models themselves are also Rebellion assets - it's just that I don't have the professional tools required to convert them directly so I have to rely on what I can scrounge up from other sources.)
- Additional models in 2.1 converted by dolynick.
- Asset conversion (model rescaling and rotating, all the texture work) and shipset assembly done by me.

"Now, after thirty years of constant warfare, our alliances have broken down. The Coalition's split between those who would withdraw, and those who would lash out."

Version 2.1 has now been released, introducing a couple of extra ship hulls and allowing Satellites to be used with the shipset's station hulls.

Hey Dalo, I'm noticing some weird flickering on some of the flat areas on the new ships. I've seen it before with duplicated faces at the same coordinates. I don't know if that's happening here but it might be worth checking into.

Version 2.0 of the 'Trader Emergency Coalition' shipset has now been released. Remember to download dolynick's DOF shipset support library in order to continue using the shipset.

The update isn't happening after all... the models, even the ones already in the shipset, are falling apart, and if I fix one problem, a worse one pops in to take its place... this is impossible. ;(

Gah, I'll update the textures anyway... and add a few models I'm reasonably sure I have Rebellion versions of... watching my comparison screenshots is driving me nuts, and I'd feel silly about putting out a patch just for the texture updates (which is why I didn't want to do anything until I had all the models).

Okay, I lied, there is no Blender plugin or a new ETA... most wasteful April Fools Day hoax I've seen, apparently. :(

HAH! Brilliant! How'd I miss this before?!

There's a Blender plugin that'll let me convert this stuff! :D

ETA has just shifted from 'when hell freezes over' to 'up to a few months'.

If anyone has the tools and the will to convert a bunch of Sins models into a more common format like .obj or .x or .fbx or something... that'd be great.
