Ok, she is done and ready for conversion.

Here is some information about the model...

Ship is actually 4 objects instead of one complete mesh...crew module and both warp nacelles/engines are separate objects connected to mesh, under poly group 3. This was done because I have already built the refit differences and this will make it easier to get the refit done, since I can just remove the group 3 objects.

She comes in at 5104 polys, no errors, properly scaled to the approx. size of the D-7. She has 3 texture sets, Diff/Glow and Spec in BMP format. I still cant make TGAs very good though I am working on that. This time glows are on the Diffs and the Glow maps as well, so there should be no illumination problems this time.

I also included a readme, which I will post here verbatum, and a plain house panel texture so you can make your own house symbol if you wish.

For weapons she has the front and rear torps, 2 medium range medium power cannons fore and aft in the wings, 2 medium range medium power cannons port and starboard on the dorsal deflector pod and 6 short range low power distruptor blisters with 180 degree arcs for close defense.

Her shields are about on par with a Ktinga, she has slightly weaker weapons but better coverage, better maneuverability but less armor. She should be a good match for a Constitution or Miranda but should be beaten by an Excelsior.

Here is her info...



KDF E-6 “maQmIgh” (Dark Omen) class Cruiser
Designed by Raven Night
RavenNight@Hotmail.com

In the Year 2270 the Klingon High Command ordered that a refit needed to be considered for the D-7 to keep it on par with modern mainline starships. The Ktinga rebuild was a result, replacing most of the D-7s in service by the next year. Morak, lead designer for the Ktinga refit also proposed the need for a lighter, faster cruiser to compliment the Ktinga and presented the D-6 for consideration. The design was rejected, but was later excepted after an extensive redesign, including a new warp nacelle design. Being the first ship to use the new “E” type STN series induction graf engines, the designation was changed to E-6 and entered service in 2295. IKV certification was granted the following year.

The ship is reported to be in the same class range as the Ktinga, and has higher maneuverability and speed. The vessel is reported to slightly weaker than the Ktinga in armor and weaponry, but has better overall weapon coverage.

This vessel has a single torp launcher aft and fore, 2 medium range disruptor cannons fore and aft, 2 port and starboard medium range cannons and 6 very short range defensive disruptors located in key positions on the hull (3 Dorsal, 3 Ventral), mainly used to defend against drones, small vessels and torpedoes.

The ship has 4 hangars, one main hanger aft that contains one small drop ship and 1 fighter, one cargo hangar aft ventral and 2 aft-facing bays, one on the ventral crew module and one on the dorsal crew module with 1 shuttle each. Like the D-7, this ship can carry ground troops, up to 75 maximum.

This vessels main strength seems to be speed, compared to the Ktinga. The vessel also has better overall weapon coverage, but its lighter armor and weaker weapons make it more difficult for this vessel to attempt to match capital vessels.

This vessel is reported to be on par with the early Mark 2 Ktinga class cruisers, circa 2270, but is inferior to the improved Mark 3 Ktingas from 2340. Mainframe upgrades are already slated for this vessel over the next 80 years, with a total expected useful operational age of 120-140 years. A refit in 2360 added more powerful engines, better armor and crew expansion, and a Dominion war refit in 2374 was a vast improvement, adding more powerful long range disruptor cannons, extended sensor capability and improved power generation.

Length: 218m     Height: 44m     Width: 140m
Decks: 16
Mass: 176,000 metric tons
Complement: 24 Officers, 101 Enlisted (125 Total Standard Crew), 75 ground troops
Power: 1 Type 3 Dilithium Warp Core, 2 Type 2 Fusion Cores
Embarkment craft: 1 Drop Ship, 1 Fighter, 2 Shuttles
Propulsion: 2 STN400 Dilithium Graf Units, 2 SBN3 Impulse Units
Velocity: Warp 5 Cruising, Warp 7.0 Maximum Speed
Weapons and cloak: 8 medium range disruptor cannons, 6 very short range defensive disruptors, 2 Type 4 Torpedo launchers, Type C12e Cloak array (2 emitters, 2 coils)
Shields: Type H1, 15 emitters
Armor: Grade 3a

I don´t have the proper skills to help you in doing a "in game" version, but I would love to play with her in 3dsmax. :D If interested in a max conversion, this I can do. ;)

I'd be happy to convert her for you Raven. In fact it'd be an honor if you'd let me.

Raven,

I am thinking you are rapidly approaching the "mater" status when it comes to design and building these Klingon ships.  I'll be glad to convert it over to the Armada community for you.

I really like this ship, shows her TOS D7 roots clearly, but shows some evolution, something I really like to see.

and gawd, I hate most TMP-TNG Klingon  CA hulls with a purple passion.

I agree 100%.  I think the T'Kinga was particularly handsome, except it had too many gimblies.  It's really hard for me to swallow any TNG ship, because of the big, red "bossard scoops" on the warp engines.  I just can't suspend disbelief.  They look like they should squeek when you sweeze them in the bathtub.

Raven - if you haven't passed her on to someone else to convert to SFC - I'd still be happy to do it. Just send her to me via the email in my profile and I'll convert and send her back to you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Raven, I absolutely agree to eveything in your email. And I am honored you trust me with this baby. However, I can't open the max format you sent me with my old software. Can you resend her in 3ds format? I'm sorry, I should have been more specific about the format I needed to prevent a delay or losing this opportunity.

No problem, Im a bit busy today but I will try and convert it tonight. Sorry about the oversight....I should just port them all to 3ds, as it is a more universal format for conversion.

My apologies. I was busy doing some model work for a game. Monopolized my time for a while.

I will try and get the file converted to 3ds and get it posted shortly, I have a few other things to do for this work set before I finish it up. Thanks for your patience.

Raven - no sweat. real life requirements always need to be met before virtual ones. I'm ready for both models when you get them in 3ds.

Take care of yourself - all us trek addicts, here at dyna, need you to stick around and give us new and creative Klink model fixes. Sometimes I'll take your models and just let them spin round and round in 3D explorer, admiring them from every angle.

I guess that makes me a Klink-watcher instead of a bird wathcer  ::)

Also, even thogh you specialise in Klinks - you have come up with some tremendous Feddie designs as well. When those are completed, I'd love to convert them to SFC as well. I will always be glad to be at your beck and call. I'm only a PM away when you need me.
