I got a old frigate (tos era) and i was wondering if anyone have remake it or would be interested to remake it?

atheorhaven · « **Reply #1 on:** January 31, 2008, 10:14:47 am »

That looks like that might be Lansings Burke, located here:

http://sfc.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/omega/fleetdock13/newships.htm

I just did a quick search and Atra had one up, but the download isn't working..

If noone else has one, I'll see what I might be able to do. My big issue lately has been time though.. :p

Don Karnage · « **Reply #2 on:** January 31, 2008, 10:50:39 am »

i got it from fleetdock 13, i was wondering if anyone have remake it, i will check atra's site but i don't remember him making a new one, if he did i should have it, or not

thanks anyway

There's a burke remake in the opplus pack but it's a departure on that exact look.

.. just asked I, Mudd for permission to use some of his parts for a kitbash if required.. they're the closest to styling that I've seen with Lansing's original, but are updated and better res from Lansings mesh.

If he's okay with it, and noone else steps forward with a mesh, I'll build you a Burke.

I'll show you what I've got for views so far.. deflector is not on yet. Again, this is an experiment using I, Mudd's kitbash parts to try a kitbash using them.

From the age of the Burke, and things mentioned elsewhere, plus visuals of Lansings version.. it seemed like using his Baton Rouge saucer and Connie v1 nacelles seemed the logical options for the Burke.

Not at home, so work will continue tonight..

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #32 on:** February 01, 2008, 11:12:41 am »

Guys
Great work by all keep in mind that the Burke is supposed to be a Small Saucer unless your reclassifing frigates to the FASA Standard

Don Karnage · « **Reply #33 on:** February 01, 2008, 12:03:59 pm »

yea it suppose to be a small saucer, so it will stay as a frigate

atheorhaven · « **Reply #34 on:** February 01, 2008, 03:13:49 pm »

Quick texture update.. (can't do meshwork until later).

Updated the registry on the ship, got closer to color matching the textures for the nacelles and saucer. Changed the saucer marker colors, and also got the lower saucer ready for the deflector by darkening the old sensor area and changing registries down there..

Don Karnage · « **Reply #35 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:27:49 pm »

good work

thanks

atheorhaven · « **Reply #36 on:** February 02, 2008, 11:22:31 pm »

Okay, got the deflector on and some more cleanup on textures. Need to clean up a couple of points on the mesh yet. Tried a render or two, and should be ready for sending over to you tomorrow DK..

(Still have to get permission for I,Mudd for general release).

I don't know, I think it turned out pretty well.. but I'm almost horrified at how similar it is in layout to the NX-01 Enterprise for TV.. (shudder)..

can you shrink the saucer size?, it would look less that the enterprise NX.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #39 on:** February 05, 2008, 10:47:40 am »

Looks like Frey had to recover the forum from backup and we lost some messages yesterday..

Shrunk the saucer a bit more, and am attaching some shots..

Don Karnage · « **Reply #40 on:** February 05, 2008, 03:16:50 pm »

as you can see on the screen shot i was wondering if you can make the saucer of the remake like the old one, raising the top and lowering the bottom of the saucer?

Sorry, either or = I could edit the current saucer to make the changes requested, or swap out this saucer and put on the Connie saucer in its place. That would give the required changes right off the bat.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2008, 09:10:46 pm »

hmm well which one will be close to the old one?

atheorhaven · « **Reply #45 on:** February 05, 2008, 11:09:05 pm »

Okay, two answers to this one.

1) If you are going for accuracy given the time that the ship was launched, then the Baton Rouge was a contemporary and this ship was launched at/near the Four Year War. And it'd have been launched about 18 or so years before the Connie lauched, so should have an older hull and saucer type (like the Baton Rouge style saucer that I chose).

2) If you are going for matching the look of the old one, then we're looking at swapping out the Baton Rouge saucer for the Connie saucer.

But if we do that, I think I'll still put out the Baton Rouge style saucer'ed one as well, as I had a horrible idea to do to it.

I, Mudd. · « **Reply #46 on:** February 06, 2008, 12:52:49 am »

I like what I see in here, but ... is it just me, or does this ship look more like a Derf Class Tender rather than a Burke Class Frigate?

atheorhaven · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2008, 02:33:13 am »

.. maybe, I've seen the other design as well with the underslung nacelles.

I think personally, it's closer to a Loknar, minus the lower extensions from the hull.

Derf

Loknar

But hey, it's DK's request, and he'd like something to replace his original ship..

anyway i check the model that i have and found one model that will do, but the warp engines are too big, WZ did one but its a DD and the saucer would be too big.

marstone · « **Reply #49 on:** February 06, 2008, 09:46:07 am »

I have a question, sort of works on the line of the old frigate. Does any of the modders out there have images of the starliner ships put out for SFB. I like the ship designs from the models put out from ADB for the game. If someone made them, I would definetely have to get copies.

The frigate in that series, had smaller engines then the ones on these models and the warp necules(sic) came of the sides of the impulse/engineering section of the hull and slanted outwards and back.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #52 on:** February 09, 2008, 06:29:58 pm »

Tell you what, email me your original MOD file, and I'll scale the nacelles to exactly the same.. I did have to adjust the nacelles due to scale differences between the Saladin and the Baton Rouge.. so I'll scale up the pylons a bit and then vertice edit them to the same join points. This way, they'll be thinker without (hopefully) appreciable stretching of the texture.

Sure can Bernard.. I'll pull in Mudd's Connie into Max as well and do some renders for comparison.

Right after coffee and breakfast.

(edit [later]) Okay, I pulled in Mudd's Connie, Mudd's Saladin, the new kitbash, and the original Fleetdock 13 model for size comparisons.

It goes, Saladin, Connie, new ship, original Fleetdock 13 mesh from left to right.

Last shot shows up as a closeup of the new ship versus the old Fleetdock 13 ship with the edge of the Coniie to the left. (Ignore the textures on the Saladin and Connie, I was experimenting on both the Connie and Saladin for textures).

But why are the nachelles on top anyway.... the Burke Class models in SFB and artworks / diagrams of the BUrke Class always have the nachelles underneath close to the hull.

Having them on top mounted also blocks part of the firing arcs for the Port and Starboard Phaser Banks.

I'm surprised that nobody has had a go at the similar sized Kovaris Class (DD 460 - 462) destroyers.

They mount a T-Pylon arrangement above the saucer. I made a model of both the Kovaris and the Burke back in 1994 and still have both. I had to create and mould a lot the plastic parts myself.

Dunno, I didn't design it, I'm filling a request.

Notes from the original credits:

Quote

Original Credits
The Original Series Burke Frigate

Original mesh by Moon

Based on a design by Franz Joseph and Paramount's Star Trek series

Mesh heavily reworked by Lansing (Mike Callahan)

Textures by by Lansing

Design advice, HEAVY research and additional textural work by Brian Zinkle, Ghost and Anduril.

I think the key here is that it was based on the Franz Joseph design, but was changed during the build.. maybe they thought that it looked better this way.

But at any rate, I'm not judging the design concept, or practicality of the ship, the size, or really anything else.. I'm trying to help someone fill a request for an update to the Fleetdock 13 design, and my interest in it is that, plus seeing how I, Mudd's parts work in a kitbash. Quite well, I think.. the results speak for themselves.

I got a old frigate (tos era) and i was wondering if anyone have remake it or would be interested to remake it?

To me, this is some of the joy I get from SFC.. plus also I know that this new ship will help extend the gameplay and life of SFC for one person. And I don't know about the other modellers motives, but that's part of it for me.

Panzergranate · « **Reply #73 on:** February 10, 2008, 03:41:14 pm »

There were later other related Classes such as the Buford, etc. in the Burke Family.

I made mine by etching the component shape into Dental Plaster, things like saucer details, etc.

I then cast it in Glue Gun Stick in a sort of inhection moulding process using a large syringe to create the draw in vaccuum, let it cool and stuck it together.

The only two things Super Glue will stick together are Human Skin and Glue Gun Stick!!

I then painted it up.

Life is so much easier modelling on a computer in 3D.

I just like knowing that for basically the first time in my life, I'm actually doing something creative and artistic. And what really makes me feel good is that some people here actually like my work enough that they use it.

Other than that, I do it for the love of doing it. Not to mention if done right, they look killer in game.

KEEP ON MODDING ATHEORHAVEN!!!!

But why are the nachelles on top anyway.... the Burke Class models in SFB and artworks / diagrams of the BUrke Class always have the nachelles underneath close to the hull.

Having them on top mounted also blocks part of the firing arcs for the Port and Starboard Phaser Banks.

I'm surprised that nobody has had a go at the similar sized Kovaris Class (DD 460 - 462) destroyers.

They mount a T-Pylon arrangement above the saucer. I made a model of both the Kovaris and the Burke back in 1994 and still have both. I had to create and mould a lot the plastic parts myself.

well if you look closely the conie also have part of the warp engine in the way of the arc, the only ship that don't have the engines in the ways are the Saladin class and maybe a few other, since the engine is under the saucer the arc is clear.

well LS did Don't remember when kinda remake the Saladin class.

well the engines could be with the nacel be on the side of the ship and place the deflector dish on front of the saucer.

That's similar to the idea that Mackie had when he kitbashed the Alamo from Schtupp parts.. which I then used as the basis for the TOS Bethune, which I see that you downloaded at one point.

It's nice to see it on someone else's hard drive..

It was also dedicated to the people affected by the London subway bombings in 2005..

Original thread can be seen here with the TNG and TOS versions of the hospital ship I did..

What's kind of neat for me is seeing people confusing my and Mackie's kitbashes with Schtupp's originals.. guess that means that we did a good enough job.

Nice work Atheorhaven Any chance we can see her besides a Constitution class for size comparison. I'll definitely have to download
this one also nice upgrade on the fleet dock 13 model.

Sure can Bernard.. I'll pull in Mudd's Connie into Max as well and do some renders for comparison.

Right after coffee and breakfast.

(edit [later]) Okay, I pulled in Mudd's Connie, Mudd's Saladin, the new kitbash, and the original Fleetdock 13 model for size comparisons.

It goes, Saladin, Connie, new ship, original Fleetdock 13 mesh from left to right.

Last shot shows up as a closeup of the new ship versus the old Fleetdock 13 ship with the edge of the Coniie to the left. (Ignore the textures on the Saladin and Connie, I was experimenting on both the Connie and Saladin for textures).

That's really nice work. My only suggestion would be either scale up the A,B,C Decks By a little more make them 85 percent the size of the Constitution this would give the frigate a small bridge but something that is still reasonably scaled or redesign the A, B C deck to a 2 deck height
Deck for a bridge. again The bridge can be slightly smaller than the Connie's but not by too much .

You gotta give credit to the guy that made that hybrid. Talk about creative and resourceful.

Oh, and Don, aside from a break model, what else do you want done on that kitbash?

This one I'd really have to wonder about.. I can't see the K'Tinga neck being strong enough to support that Connie saucer. And why cut the K'Tinga's forward pod in half? I might be able to see the torpedo assembly being replaced with a Klingon assembly, but you'd have a lot of Klingon warriors rather honked off at the dismembering of a Klingon spaceframe like that to mount it onto something as decident and soft as a Federation Heavy Cruiser.

I'm sure that the K'Tingas really *did* only have one toilet just to make the warriors surlier.. and that one was probably vacuum operated at that.

(image: Klingon warrior crouches in airlock, takes off belt, and wraps it around support post. Hits "Flush" and bathroom waste and most of the airlock atmosphere gets flushed into space. Warrior manages to close hatch and start repressurization before he passes out from lack of air. Wakes up to other warriors banging on airlock door, and pulls up pants to leave airlock)

Pretty sure that KF would agree with me on this, but I can't see the design ever leaving a development yard for any extended period of time. From a reverse engineering point of view, some of it would make sense.. but the bridge module alone from a K'Tinga might (with a lot of work and adaption) fit inside the bridge module port for a Connie saucer.. but that'd just be the bridge, not the rest of the upper superstructure.

A better adaption would be Mackie's "USS K'Tinga"

Personal opinion though, and as always YMMV..

You're right Don, I should've caught that myself. Unless they especially hit the crew with non-lethal TCE's (Doctor Who reference) or staffed the ship with Horta or similarly small peoples, the bridge would only be able to handle children for crew.. not full-sized adults. And small kids at that.

It matches the original for scaling entirely now, but in this case, the scale is going to be too small.

Best solution would be to scale up the ship for size to make it closer to the Saladin. If DK is okay with that?

From what I have. The frigate ship from SFB if you check out the starliner ships have the warp engines on top with the pylons just off the impulse engine/engineering area.

She seriously needs a retexture so that it doesn't looked slapped together. Well, so it looks less slapped together.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #85 on:** February 10, 2008, 06:01:44 pm »

bah, the klingon don't care

and i don't

so when its ready after the break model is made just send it like that.

Centurus · « **Reply #86 on:** February 10, 2008, 06:07:04 pm »

No problem.

Since the ship is more or less in a D7 configuration, I'll copy over the hardpoints from the Klink ship I used.

P.S.

The ship uses parts from WZ's Gettysburg, D7, and TOS Akula.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #87 on:** February 10, 2008, 06:14:12 pm »

the texture was evident that it was WZ ship you use to made it.

I know. I just made the post for disclaimer purposes, and so that I know proper credit is given.

Remember, this ship is meant for personal use. I'm pretty sure WZ doesn't mind images posted, but not the ship for release.

Just let me know before you put it anywhere for download. I didn't write a readme to accompany it. Just included WZ's readmes. Well, two of them. I forgot to add the 3rd, now that I remember.

Old age, it sucks. My mind's already half dust.

I know, it wasn't very useful to begin with, but oh well.

Okay, finished (got some time at home with no pressure).

And there are two ships for release.. I went with the original request, and developed off that into another idea (that came out of the bashing).

First is the replacement Burke request for the original Fleetdock 13 mesh.. it turned out really well. Then I would up making something that looked sort of like the NX from Enterprise. So I went with that as well.. decided to reimage that ship as a SFB inspired remake of what a ship like this *would* look like. Both ships have shuttlepod bays under tha saucer, the Burke in the front, the Columbia in the back.

So there we go.. just have to get these over to I'Mudd's as per the credit requirments and have him review the ships.. then if he's cool with them, they'll be up there ready for release.
