Most awsome glitch ever!

I was playing a skirmish today, and I crossed paths with a S-7 defender, but instead of being normal, it was the model of the excelsiorII but with dominion textures (sloppy, but halfway correct). I coulden't believe it. I tried to take a screenshot of it but it was destroyed before I could.

moral of the story is, even THE GAME thinks my cross race textured mix tech idea should happen! lol.

why would somethin like that occur though?

I've never seen/heard of that before.

Have you modded the game files at all, or were you running stock 3.2.5?

I was running my mod in 3.2.4, I've done a bit of odf tinkering, which might of had something to do with it. But I'm thinking that isn't the case, seeing how the stock mode has the same graphic freakouts from time to time.

May have been a memory screw-up. Or - worse - bug.

Its possible it is a bug/byproduct of the compression of odf's.  Sounds interesting to me.

My best guess is some sort of memory issue.  I have found in my little experience coding visual objects and playing with script files, etc....sometimes something done just a little off could cause one image to take the wrong place in memory.  It used to happen all the time in the old facebook android app.

It happened again while I was messing around in a skirmish. Only this time I managed to get a screen shot of it!

It's a centaur, but it has the model of the ambassador, and the texture of the centaur.

THE GAME

Hmmmm this is funny. Be cool to get a tac cube with a sabre texture (best ship with worst non-scout's texture lol)

Very interesting sight, I hope it doesn't get fixed. I'm sure the still have drugs in Starfleet to explain it.

So this would bte the Starfleet version of those experiments the brits did in the 50s/60s were they gave soldiers LSD and tried to drill them like normal, and it ended with one of them in a tree.

Lol, I don't think it will be fixed, but it only happens to me once in a blue moon. Makes me wonder if I could duplicate it once I get hex editing and texture modifications downpat.

Heheh, I remember watching that footage. That had to have been the best trainop those guys ever had.

That looks like a memory addressing error.
