Pepper i like this Reman bird you made

@Atolm i like this Reman design you have drawn, i think you have a talent for this race

regarding to this rant between KBF_GOW and what Atolm said about his comment, i have to say its not nice to hear someone saying that he thinks your designs are bad, ugly or something you deffinetly don't like but for what are Forums done than hear what other think and not to get your work praised into heaven, thats dissembling even if you ask for constructive criticism and surely it should not end in flamewars
i think if you or i can't take what other say about our work or comments than we could do what KBF_GOW did but this is no option for me as this makes the way for the dissemblers and ignorant beeings in this world

sorry Pepper for hijacking your WIP thread but i must have said something to this problem

Okay mates, this version (aka a battle cruiser) is mostly done. As it is not the carrier verion, it does not include the lower hull or what I presume to be the impulse engines (thingies on the top).

What I plan to do is continue to flesh this model out some more and incorporate the raise panel effect the Falllen Warrior spoke about. That version will include the lower hull, the impulse engines (?) and be setup as the carrier. I dodn't envision too much change regarding the texturing so the two ships should be fairly consistent. I do anticipate the poly count on the carrier version climbing considerably though. I will post a mock up of the wing to help ensure it is going it the right direction. I tried a quick take on it last night and wasn't too disappointed. The height proportions still need some tweaking. Okay, enough rambling. Here's a couple of screenshots of the nearly completed ship.

Sweetness. My offer to convert still stands.

pepperman · « **Reply #63 on:** February 03, 2010, 05:10:39 pm »

Shadowfleet, I will be sending her your way once the final tweaks are made: A 3ds file and bmp files should work for you right.

What size should we make this beastie and what should be name her?

pepperman · « **Reply #64 on:** February 05, 2010, 09:57:12 am »

Shadowfleet...the 3ds and texture files have been sent your way.

pepperman · « **Reply #65 on:** February 06, 2010, 11:15:40 am »

Okay mates, anyone have any suggestions regarding a story line for the battle cruiser version, a good name for her, or thoughts on size. Shadowfleet is going to get her ready for you all but a little help is desired.

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #66 on:** February 06, 2010, 07:32:30 pm »

Nice work!
I designated her Reaper-Class, but that's up to you, as it is technically a variation on the design, maybe scythe?

Shadowfleet · « **Reply #67 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:32:10 pm »

I've got her, added some illums and am ready fro HP/DP. I'd like some suggestions about stats and abck story for the read me. One thought I had was to make her a stock replacemnet for one of the Rommies or even the Scimitar itself - since i think this beuty looks way better.

ANy thoughts, or have I lost all respect around here because I like Star Trek Online

Since I don't have SFC, I don't even know what it might replace. But I did set her up for Armada and here is what I went with as far as name and a little background. It isn't much though. I placed medium pulse dispuptors on the outside wings, two heavy pulse disruptors under the head and a bank of four photon torpodeo launches under the belly of the beastie/

* Name: Reman Scythe Class Battle Cruiser

Introduction

After the colonization of Crateris, the Reman Scythe Class battle cruiser was built in secret
with the aid of the Tal Shair. The Scythe Class incorportes technology and weaponary from the
Scimatar program. Multiple pulse disruptor cannons and photon torpedo launchers make her quite
formable in battle.

Beautifull production and creation of the Reman class.

Okay, work has begun on a tiered wing version with raise "feathers". Let me know what you think. Poly count is going be high 10Kish at least....can SFC handle that?

Fallen_Warrior · « **Reply #71 on:** February 12, 2010, 12:02:09 pm »

That's outstanding...... I didn't think you would go as far as this. Its awesome!

As for the Scythe, in SFC Maybe use the same stats that are the norms for maybe a Valdore class. Puts her slightly above a D'Derridex in line of speed, turn rate and weapons. But been smaller in size. As its Reman, increase its durability slightly. That's about all I could suggest. Other than that it hits the nail on the head..... The Reman's are back.

pepperman · « **Reply #72 on:** February 14, 2010, 06:22:46 pm »

A quick look at the new wing layout with the tiered and raised effect applied. Wings will be beefier in appearance. Poly count approaching 10K with any attept made at the thrusters.

Fallen_Warrior · « **Reply #73 on:** February 14, 2010, 08:13:45 pm »

very nice. one suggestion though, maybe taper the feather tips at the rear. otherwise astounding

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #74 on:** February 14, 2010, 08:18:15 pm »

I agree with FW. The rear edges of the wings should probably be thinner than the leading edges. I'm not sure if milkshape has an easy way of doing this. If not, let me know - I can throw a quick FFD mod on there and taper it in about 45 seconds.

pepperman · « **Reply #75 on:** February 15, 2010, 11:41:11 am »

If there is an easy way in Milkshape I am not aware of it. FoaS, , what do you need from me to run this script you spoke of.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #76 on:** February 15, 2010, 03:54:34 pm »

You need 3ds Max, lol.

FFD = Free Form Deformation. It's a cage that gets laid over your model, and if you move points on that cage the shape of the model gets deformed.

pepperman · « **Reply #77 on:** February 15, 2010, 08:51:35 pm »

So if I exported the wing out in 3ds you could taper it relatively easy? If so, PM me your email addy and I will export the wing out for a test drive.
