An evil Romulan Condor?

Sorry, I meant to make this comment with Andurils Condor WIP. I thought it to be funny. (easily amused) Never mind, I'm out to make myself laugh, if no one else.

Anyway, I really appreciate your work on the Romulans. Certainly look great for a TMP fleet. And I am dearly fond of your firehawk and sparrowhawk. They were really crying out to be done. Yours set a high level of excellence.

How do feel about the warp extensions at the end of the Condor's wings? To my eye they don't quite fit. Perhaps eliminate them and rotate the engines 90 degrees? Or drop them down like jet engines near the end of the wings. Just a thought.

Looks good...when can I blow it up!?

Keep 'em coming.

Thu11s Would you mind if I take some ships from your site to use in my TNZ mod? I'm adding the Gorn to the mod and I need a good base model. Also, I really love your Romulans. I remember when you finally released the Firehawk, and I raved and raved about it. This model looks to be another winner. One thing I might change though is the sweep angle of the wings. Great textures like you use will probably make it look less straight than this WIP, but nearly every Rom ship has sharply swept wings, and this one would fit more with other Roms if it did too. I can't wait to see it complete.

Marauth · « **Reply #4 on:** March 27, 2003, 12:08:46 pm »

SUUWEEEET! I cannae wait fer this one... I agree with KoraH though - maybe just give the wings a tiny bit more of a forward sweep, right now it looks too SFB Klingon - like the KF5 I think it is (never played SFB)

Thu11s - what ever happened to that kick-ass Skyhawk you posted pics of when you first showed us the Killerhawk and Sparrowhawk? It looked almost finished - had most of the textures already on it.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #5 on:** March 27, 2003, 06:45:45 pm »

Reminds me of a Quetzalcoatulus; a giant pterosaur from the late Cretaceous (Texas area).

Outstanding! The Romulans definitely need more ships!

Qa Pla!

nice to see a new ship from you my friend ;-) lets see some textures! :-D

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2003, 12:37:12 am »

I like this because it looks a little "out of date", older generation than the
Killerhawk/Firehawk. (Which IMO it should.) Maybe, reaching back a little closer to the TOS era with Klingo/Romulan
lines being very obvious. That's what it speaks to me, anyway

Well yeah, but that's what the old series ships are - the Condor was pretty much the last ship the Romulans came up with when everyone else started making DNs and BBs, the only ships that came after it were the King Condor (BB) and the 2 X-ships which I don't know the name of... The ship has the same Klink style engines of the other new series ships (as opposed to the fed style cigar nacelles from the old series ships) the 2 separate hulls with an interconnecting boom - like the Klink ships as opposed to the single hull designs of the old series. Also it's kind of absurd that the Rommies would have built a Dreadnought before any actually useful cruiser and frigate designs because although the old series ships could serve admirably as overpowered firgates and the Klink trade ships could act as reserve ships (they were the very bottom rung of the Klink navy - mostly mothballed ships) the Rommies REALLY badly needed a new fleet of cruisers and destroyers - not overpowered Dreadnought behemoths.

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #9 on:** March 28, 2003, 02:36:07 pm »

TVL, the Condor is a Romulan new series ship. The King Eagle(or was it Vulture? I suddenly can't remember) was their old 'dreadnought', part of the Eagle series. The Condor is not out of date but in fact a new and extremely capable and dangerous ship. Also, only the ships purchased from the Klingons had klingon-style warp engines, new series ships like the Sparrowhawk, Killerhawk, and Skyhawk do in fact have cigar warps as well. Sorry, I'm being nitpicky.

Marauth · « **Reply #10 on:** March 28, 2003, 03:11:06 pm »

Actually I said that it was a new series ship, it was Mr. O'neal who said that it looked 'out of date' and I was basing my observations on the klingon design influences becasue if you look at Thu11s Firehawk, Killerhawk and Sparrowhawk you'll see that his versions do indeed have engines similar in appearance to those on the K'T'inga and they do have the 2 hulls with a connecting 'neck' section - like the K'T'inga - so his ships seem to draw together Klingon design with the best of Romulan aeshetics. Which makes much more sense than the SFB Rommies which seem to show almost no design progress on the old series ships and the SFB Condor is just basically an inflated War Eagle with a sphere stuck on the front - quite hideous IMO - though Anduril's new version looks pretty nice. The King Eagle was the equivalent to a Dreadnought for the Roms before they got ahold of a Klink C8 for conversion, it was just a War Eagle with far too many weapons and quite poorly matched to the Fed class or the C8

Hi Thu11s
Its looking very good looking forward to seeing the final product keep up the great work

Marauth · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2003, 02:26:33 pm »

Bump - couldn't let this one fall to page 2!

Any news Thu11s?

Lord Schtupp · « **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2003, 02:54:34 pm »

I like that a lot - a very slick and convincing klink/romulan

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2003, 01:42:56 am »

I agree with Schtupp. You have always made very convincing connection between Klingon and Romulan designs. This looks like another really sweet ship that you can be proud of.

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2003, 04:02:59 pm »

Any updates? I was wondering if you have any textures applied yet that we might see?

Steelviper33 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2003, 07:44:33 pm »

Can i get a Hoo-Ah!

And I throw a bump out there too

Sounds like a good ship, sucks none of the pix are working...

Marauth · « **Reply #20 on:** April 08, 2003, 03:26:17 pm »

I see em fine.

Thu11s - any info, please? Even telling us they wont be out till christmas would be better than not telling us anything... Erm, no wait scrap that, just release em when ready...

BTW Thu11s - what part of London are you in/from, I from the northeast, well right on the edge of Essex actually, kind of a bad image really - you know that show 'Essex Wives'? Just a few blocks away from us they filmed that!

I can not be the only person interested in Thulls' latest works!

BUMP for news!

Thulls, ADB should approach you to do a TMP miniatures line...

Qapla!

KF

Marauth · « **Reply #26 on:** April 24, 2003, 06:02:04 pm »

Classic though it would be to have miniatures of Thu11s' ships (I'm still trying to figure out how to go about scratchbuilding a Firehawk) ADB would have to manufacture them in the reviled 1/3000-and-somethingth scale (I forget exactly what scale those miniatures are in) - besides ADB models always suck. Obviously we need a garage company to make 1/1400th scale resin models of Thu11s' work.

Anyway BUMP - Thu11s where are you man? You've not got trapped by that evil alien lifeform they call real life again have you?

Qob'nuH · « **Reply #44 on:** May 04, 2003, 06:55:52 am »

Also tidied up some of the mesh aswell as redone some texturing on the SkyHawk. Add to this, I've tidied up some of the shield sizing on the ISC CL and CLS which will all go public in a couple of days. I'm planning for a Feral Yards update at the weekend, where both this and the SkyHawk will be available, maybe some others depending how busy I am

Waiting patiently,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Ok that was lie, How's the update coming? Any chance you may expand on your Orion section? I very much like the concept...dark hull, looks like its made for fast ,forward assault.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #45 on:** May 04, 2003, 08:44:02 am »

Thulls, while your at it can you also repost the ORIGINAL ISC early CA?

More Romulan targets on the way.... yeah!

This is part of the Thu11s experience, the constantly sliding deadlines, you just have to chill and wait for him to post the ships, 'they'll be ready when they're ready' as they say.

Oh for God's sake I'm too impatient, Thu11s release the ships man! I cannae take n' more!
