I have a dohnut on my desk but you can borrow that too  :D

Those additions look fantastic, is the mobile base finished as it looks plain?  :-X

Well, the idea behind a mobile base is that three tugs bring 6 pods to a location, they plop the pods down and then they dock the pods together. The concept doesn't allow for a lot of room to make the base pretty, because its so makeshift. I plan on going back and adding some, though.

The concept isn't mine - its an SFB concept - one I like much.

All the tugs shown in this thread are really cool.

I like the Oberth tugs a few pages back too but the Mirak Tugs are outstanding!

for texture, remember that in SFB the two core pods are special MB pods, and the other four are standard tug pods.  So you can play with looks that way also.

I'm still chewing on how to do the fighters and PFs and what not.

in the mean time: the Bismarck-class TOS battlecruiser has been released.

FoAs, nice as always :) and ever a shame since SFC:OP stopped working on my computer.

Though, a note/suggestion/observation: The Kzinti do have their own font in the form of 'commas-and-dashes' as described by Larry Niven. Ridiculous as might sound, it's used for the Mirak interface in SFC! I suggest you use it for your Kzinti ship lettering to complete the circle.

One source for DLing is Here. Just scroll down and it'll take you to the link.

As an aside, what program are you using for modeling?

I wonder why it stopped working...

I knew that existed, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to use it. but it turns out you were right - it does look much better.

OOoh Hold on to your underwear boys... Fury is hitting TOS with a vengeance.

It's only two ships - but in the less than 24 hours that its been out - 166 people have downloaded the Bismarck, and 183 have downloaded the Federation...

And yet 4 replies on my thread..... wow
