Quote: . . . It's almost like the General War is on.
Quote:Would it be possible to have a carrier variant(s) done? The extra space afforded by the rear hull from the NCA on the NCL might be able to be tweaked, or maybe just textured?
Quote:Quote:Would it be possible to have a carrier variant(s) done? The extra space afforded by the rear hull from the NCA on the NCL might be able to be tweaked, or maybe just textured? The fighters on the NVS and NCV are housed in the saucer.
Quote:Thanks for the models FireSoul. Isn't it kind of ironic to have these wartime ships cranked out so quickly. We've had something like 8 or so NCL, NCA, and now NCF releases. It's almost like the General War is on.
Quote:A proper FHDW model would require a TMP FDW to start from, with 3 frigate engines, 6 points each. Do you have one of those?
Quote:Here are models pending texturing.. .. a preview if you wish..1- F-LTT with 1 pod:
Quote:Those look like khaliba textures, MP. Wonder what would happen if you stole that middle warp nacell and put it in the same place on a regular reliant?I'd like to see that kitbash.
Quote:I think it sucks.Why dont you put them on the saucer like the GSC model?
Quote:Great work sir,but I personally don't like it. This is the one I use.
Quote:Quote:I think it sucks.Why dont you put them on the saucer like the GSC model? Because:a- the GSC has a slightly modified hull to stow its sensors.b- the photons are supposed to be replaced by sensors, and that's where the photons go in the scheme I chose.
Quote:Hey FireSoul. I thought that I saw a scout variant that you were doing that simply replaced the 4xDro with the sensors, but still with the standard pod on the nose. I looked through the thread but didn't see it. Either I'm (1) blind, (2) imagining things, or (3) dreaming about SFC . Anyhow, I thought that arrangement looked better. Sorry for all of the work that nobody seems to like. The effort is appreciated though.

Yeah, FS, I get the canon thing, but they are so small they mise well be blue light bulbs. Or a giant fish bowl window. Or a night light for dark space navigation...They are ridiculously small and too hard to see them to make any difference in ship recognition at any range greater than maybe 3-4k zoom out, heh. I mean... u want a seperate model for this one, and u make a seperate folder for it... U mise well put the sensors in the saucer like the gsc so u can identify the thing. Your looking at the tail end and you wont see the pretty blue dishes. They need to go in the hull to differentiate it from the others. Besides, that [bleep] just looks cool... .

Quote:Ok.. well.. screw the sensor-pod-replacing-photon-tubes idea. the scouts will have nothing underneath, and that will give me a model variant I can reuse.Next exposition teaser, pending some texturing:F-NAC:F-NAE (Conjectural, It's an NCA with the NAC's weapons.): F-NAL (Conjectural): Those look good and will be released once texturing has been sorted out.-- Luc
Quote:Hey FireSoul. I know that OP+ is TMP based and that you are doing these so you can add them to it, but do you think that maybe, just possibly, is there even a small chance that you'd consider doing these variants to the original TOS versions of Atra's NCA/NCL models? I'd love to have these for my TOS models pack.

I'd love to have these for my TOS models pack. Hm. Problem #1: The textures would be completely different.. and I mean completely.. The Aztec isn't even the same, and that doesn't help.Problem #2: you pinned it right: I'm doing this for OP+. I have so many other things to do that at the current pace, I still wouldn't be done in May. I don't think I would take the time to work on models I won't be using within the project.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Thanks anyway.
Quote:Besides, OP+ is not exclusively TMP. It also depends on the year of release of said ship...
Quote:First, I'd like to thank you all who got me started on LEttering and texturing.. Of course, I have some others to do, but real life is being a problem at the moment.Second, .. another release:NCC 1689 Ibn Batuta - F-NSR - Federation New Survey Cruiser : http://klingon.stasis.ca/models/federation/fs_fnsr.zip -- Luc
Quote:Whooo!This class has grown on me like a fungus.I think the main reason I didnt like it was the lack of texturing on the top of the structures that connect the top warps. Fortunately, there is a seperate texture map for that I can alter.Now it wont look like the stock taldren FF. Yuck.Nice job FS, btw. WHo do the original credits for the class go to?
Quote:Hey FS, this is outstanding work. Granted, these models only reflect minor changes too the original model, but its really neat how you where able too put noticable, physical differences between each class of SFB ship. And I really like how you design things for a TMP type style for an SFB mod. The last model, the Carrier, is a really neat concept idea.Good work man!
Quote:fnvl and the tugs and any other ship w/o the forward tubes look like they have little magic sprinkles below the front of the saucer as they fly...Looks like the ploys are gone, but the points are still there. I dont know if its worth fixing... because its damn awful hard to tell the difference between magic sprinkles and background space. In addition, you dont get much a chance to see the front of your ship. Thats one of the reasons I dont like this class that much... its ass end isnt as attractive as the miranda. Guess Ill have to texture on a couple pinup girls for the upper warp pylons... hehe.You did a great job on these bashes, FS. wtg. I especially like the scout. it goes well with the gsc. I cant wait to use em in a GSA F&E match... hehe.
Quote:Someone email me when hes done Making varients so i can download them all at once.
Quote:Hi Firesoul Great work lets not forget the the New drone cruiser. I know people thought they were heavy photons but it looks visibly different from the other ships
