Atrahasis did one if I'm not mistaken, but his stuff isn't up for download any longer

If anyone has Atra's detroyat, I'd love to get my hands on it.

BTW, now that the Loknar is out, what should be next?

What does the Davids look like?

My vote for the next release would either be the Miranda, or the Akula and Akyazi.

I also noticed your TOS fleet is lacking a frigate. Is the Saladin going to be the lightest in the TOS fleet or are you going to have the Destroyat/Burke in the lineup for that role?

The destroyat would probably be a light cruiser or destroyer. The Burke is likely going to be a frigate. I'm also considering doing a custom sihp along the lines of the Intrepid from the NX-era, but TOSified.

FOAS, I know I've approached you before on previous meshes, but could I bother you for the D-7?

Currently I use Red Dragon's, but like a lot of Klingon ships the most hard parts are the curved front of the hull where the neck meets it and sometimes the vents . On both texture sets you really seem to have a tight texture and even close up it doesn't have as much pixilization for flyby's like other models have.

I'd like to test it out, if it would be a suitable replacement. Not that I need to replace RD's but hey if I can "trade up" so to speak. More Kudos to you right.  :angel:


Here's a funny old shot.

I was doing a size comparison and realized I need to reduce it like 50-60%. I'm in the fed Fighter firing out the K'Tinga's Torp tube... Heh, they make them big around here huh?

I did indeed, but I have not played around with it, yet. Many thanks.

I have enough TMP ships - and since the TOS frigate is lacking, I'll throw it in there. It was actually the Atrayu by Markyd? that gave me the idea.

Sure thing. I haven't gotten it quite ready for conversion, but I'll see what I can do.

Awesome! And don't forget about your cool fighters, just in case you've put them on the back burner for now. Something you should get around to someday... The WIP pics had me salivating...

FoAS, in addition to the TOS ships, are you going to throw any pre-TOS ships into the fleet as late-comers? I don't mean the Texas specifically, but ships like the Kelvin (I dunno about all of you but I liked the design) or the Baton Rouge would be interesting one-time sights... maybe the national fleet ships of the TOS fleet.

And FoAS, for some of the TOS ships, have you considered using alternate nacelles for the various ships? The TOS Chandley for example... might look good with a pair of these.

I tend to use the Starfleet Museum for my Pre-TOS stuff, unfortunately there aren't enough models out there of those ships. I may remedy that some day, but its not a priority for me.

There are alot of the Romulan war ships on SFC FF and Sandman has a faily good Wasp, Moskova, Lancaster, Al Burak, and Valley Forge models up on Battleclinic. Terradhyne has a Paris, Swordfish, and Siegfried meshs. He also has the Furious, Specter, Predator and Avenger Meshes on SFC FF. Andurial's Asia is on FF and Battleclinic. And there is a Kestrel model on BC Files and it might be on SFC FF and Battleclinic too. That leaves The Romulan War Demo Mod over on Amada2 FF which has most of the ships in it although the models of the 23rd Century ships are a bit on the low poly side.

forgive me for adding to the barage of questions/significant workload you already have but any chance of the mendoza/bassmaster or mackies galahad type vessels? I can't use gafy's original X class textures on those because the ships seem to be slightly different in just the rights spots, hence I am curious if you'll go to that era or not?

I'm debating for going for the X-era stuff. I haven't made up my mind, yet.

Thats because the orginal ones I did I reworked the mapping on them. P81 does good work and is fast at it but he left allot of little issues on the models. At first I use to work around those area with the textures then finally started to fix the errors, in the last stages of my work I moved over to WZs' ships. There is much less work involved using his versions.
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

Which ships of the p81 X-Fleet did you correct?

I used the hull from the Merlin when I kitbashed the Chabot Refit.  I've also taken parts from the Merlin for other personal uses in the past.  Never had a problem.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.
