Some of you may remember this game 
I wanted to make a DarkSpace mod for SF, but I'm not sure how to do the ship sprites since the DS models are not made available, and taking top-down screenshots usually gives poor smudgy results with bad lighting.
I had a technique for doing 36 framed pre-rendered ships that would look quite nice
(here's a blade interceptor I did for a homeworld mod for stellar frontier)
However, to do this, I need a model that can be imported into Blender.
If you guys are adamant about not giving out these sorts of things, I suppose I could do vectorized traces of the screenshots, and work out some color+rotation tweens to give it a 3D look.
Just to clarify, this is for fun, not profit, I have no intent on using the models for anything else.
I understand if you aren't allowed to give them out though, but I'd like to know if you have a problem with me tracing the designs.

By the very nature of the game, not gonna happen. ROC does not allow for modification of any game resource.

Warning: This is not me speaking officially, don't take my word as gospel.
Last I heard, for technical reasons we don't give out meshes and textures, I'm afraid.
I don't think there's anything against drawing your own per se as long as you don't make any money off it, but I'd double-check that last bit with an admin. Trawling the RoC/ToS may shed some light on the matter, also.

U can extract models. It's a matter of tools.
Ditto textures. That was how I did the fan-art models.
Not gonna tell u how of course. You gotta figure it out.
