Very nice looking ship. Looks kinda like a TOS Sovereign.
What role do you think it should fill?

Whatever you want ... I just build them ... lol.
Seriously.
I suppose since it was initially designed as a medium cruiser, anything from Battlecruiser to Light Cruiser would work ...

Aw!! Da big nasty Klingon L7 killed da kitty kat!!

With the long hangar bay, reinforced space frame for high stress loads and overall size I'd recomend it as a medium strike cruiser or medium assault cruiser. Maybe even a medium commando cruiser.
It sure looks like it is more purposeful than he average Federation starship.

Stunniing work.... model looks tight, textures are crisp, and the design is sheer quality.

Nice design and pic IM. I'd love to add her to my TOS fleet but I can't seem to find the link to download on your site.

Thanks for the kind words guys! It was alot of work, but a labor of love ...  (Click my Planet Mudd sig ... it'll take you there ... It's in the 'Available Starships/Originals Series Era' section. If you still can't find it, maybe you're not logged in, Shadowfleet.) JM. |

Took a little work, but it's in there, looking nice. Is there any chance we could see conversions of some of your models or Model Parts into Galactic Civilisations 2? I wish I could do it myself, but i've failed on every try. Galciv has a number of Total conversions, but there is a real lack of community docks like SFC. I''m sure there would be big use of custom models. Wink |

Well, hell, Dragoon ... post a screenie or two here and at Planet Mudd! Although I have little interest in SFC3 wholesale ... I still love eyecandy! Never tried Galactic Civillizations 2 ... although I did DL a demo of the first one years ago. It's something to think about, I guess ...  F9thCenturus; I'm located at Planet Mudd ... ask for Norman 47 in accounts and finances.  JM. |

F9thCenturus; I'm located at Planet Mudd ... ask for Norman 47 in accounts and finances. JM. My TI/VL/BS shots don't seem to work, and I will need to adjust the glows i've put on there. It was a very quick move over, and i've set it up as roughly equal to the TMP Miranda in the Rebalance mod. Will put some pics soon as I take some.  Mackie tried to do a ship or two for me, but he said that Galciv format is strange or messed up as he put it. Your individual Hull pieces would fit real well with the "Lego" like ship builder. There is a Trek mod for galciv, but it's' a total conversion, and the ships have no Spec or Normal maps. Most of them are from SFC, and once their into Galciv 2 with Normal and Spec maps, they look fantastic!! I'm hoping to see if I can get some people interested over on the galvic forum into setting up a community docks. |

I hate to sound like a party pooper, but if you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism: there are a few gaps in the mesh, specifically on the inside of the hull surrounding the hanger door and at the joint around the bottom and side of the saucer. The former I think just needs a texture mapped to it. The latter just looks like the polygons aren't quite fitted together.
Despite that it is great. The nacelles are beautiful. Like so much of your work, I can't quite figure out where it would fit in the shiplist, but it is gorgeous.

Is there an equally cool Klingon or Romulan counterpart to this?

Aw!! Da big nasty Klingon L7 killed da kitty kat!!

How about the D6 shown in ENT??
If you run trough the scene you suddenly realise that although it looks like the classic TOS D6 battlecruiser, actually the engine nacelles are vastly different at the front.
The front Disrupter bulge has been replaced with a glowing electric blue intake slot top to bottom and the sides are also different.
Anyone have a still shot of the ENT D6 battlecruiser, where the engines are shown in detail. It happened when it made a starboard, turn on screen, for a camera close fly by.

I dunno ... have you SEEN any yet? LOL ... (That is the plan, though ... in due time.) I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now. I have 4 more feds meshed in this style ... I'd like to add about four or five more to that ... Then, I plan to tweak a few unreleased Klingon meshes and work up a few Roms ... after that I think Kzinti and ISC are gonna be up ... not sure ... I also have a few Gorn plans. I'd like to be able to get all of them done like ... right now ... but, RL time constraints do conflict with doing nothing but making these damn things ... If I actually got paid to do this, the Ol'Lady probably wouldn't complain so much ... lol. So, we'll see ... eh? (Oh ... and just a little extra info, KF ... that planet pack thing is on indefinite hold. The graphics engine at present will not do exactly what I want to do ... perhaps one day I'll revisit it with new ideas ... but for now, it's holding.) JM. |

Damn, that actualy looks like a late 70's early 80's studio shot for a movie poster... Initially I thought TUS was pointing out that this is where mud got the ship design from... But then i realised i was just not paying proper attention, was not aware starfleet command was able to handle transparencies as with your buzzards Mudd. Ship looks great, but starfleet commands dated engine really does not do the ship justice. TUS awsome job on that poster, very nice work indeed. |

I'm sure whatever you get to will be a welcome addition to the SFC series. We all know real life is more important (Oh ... and just a little extra info, KF ... that planet pack thing is on indefinite hold. The graphics engine at present will not do exactly what I want to do ... perhaps one day I'll revisit it with new ideas ... but for now, it's holding.) JM. That's too bad about the planets. I still hope they can be hard pointed for the next SFC OP 4.0+ Qapla' KF |

If you're referring to the first episode to show a Klingon ship, Atra did one up at the time. You might be able to find it somewhere. However, that was not the model that the FX folks wanted to use. They made a more primitive looking D5, but the corporate execs wanted more lights. It was too late to spend a lot of time editing the model, so they used the stock K'tinga model with only a bit of tweaking. The fellow who designed the first D5 explained the situation and posted images of the intended model. It later made its way into a Ships of the | | | |
