How much time/effort/skill does it require to remap a nif model, cos the stock bridges are really badly done (duh), i have great ideas for retextures but cant fully realise them because things share the same texture, example E Bridge, texture called "Stationcolor" is shared with the stations, the wall and the cieling which is a pain cos i want all 3 seperately textured, wud it be possible to remap the things and wud ne one do it

you cant remapp a bridge nif file...it requires u have the max file.. which no1 does for the stock bridges.. doesnt take too long to map the model really... but it wont happen as we will never get the TG bridge files

Yeah, we are working on that.

But until we are there, as seanabooth said, for the bridge models you'd need the max file.
For ship files, you could import them into milkshape (there is something very funny about bridge models:P).

actually theyre very accurate in terms of shape and sizes.. especially the dbridge.

and the sovereign bridge is only innacurate now because the set was changed in nemesis.

the nemesis set was awful anyway, the FC one was the best.

i like the amount of activity lately: new retexs of current bridges and updates to the stock ones, & who said BC modding was in its "winter years".

i did.. and it is

most of the best known modders are retired/awol, most of the best script projects etc are failed. lets face it, the game just isnt as popular as it once was.

I agree- and also they couldn't do the nemesis set because of when the movie was released.
