Post by: Panzergranate on October 11, 2007, 06:47:06 pm: I like the fact that the saucer has a similar design style to the CL 1500 Kearsarge Class, hinting that the shipyard design team responsible for the Kearsarge were involved with this project.

I'd tag the Crusader as a Heavy Destroyer though, something Star Fleet does seem to lack with only the Fargo Class beingthe only other DH mentioned anywhere. I kitbashed one and run it at the moment.

The Crusader is more interesting than the pretty dull Fargo to look at though. ;D

When's it in the showrooms??

Will there be an SFC 1 and SFC 2 version?? (No worries on the SFC 1 version as I'll just convert it over here!!)

Post by: MajorRacal on October 14, 2007, 11:44:18 am: My free time is now at such a premium, that this one has taken me more than a year to get this far. I have a few others I'm working on just as slowly, including some more of Azel's models.

Post by: MajorRacal on November 21, 2007, 09:32:38 am: Sorry guys - I'm experiencing some technical difficulties (again) and haven't been able to do anything to further the progress of this one. Once the problem(s) have been overcome I'll make extra effort to finish her ASAP.

After working on her (on and off) for two years, I'm glad you guys like her.

Like her? I love her. The Crusader immediately went into my shiplist in the Federation XDD and XDG slots. She's already seen significant action and I'll be posting some screenies shortly.

Post by: Bernard Guignard on February 24, 2008, 07:35:47 am: A Quick question is SFC2 Ready or does a converison have to be done ?
Great job by the way
Title: Re: Released: Federation Chance-Vaught class Destroyer
Post by: MajorRacal on February 24, 2008, 12:07:10 pm: She's set up for SFC3, so you'll need to fiddle with her hardpoints for SFC2 play.

Post by: Atolm-Rising on February 27, 2008, 08:13:15 am: Thanks to everyone
And thanks to MR for his work!!
Title: Re: Released: Federation Chance-Vaught class Destroyer
Post by: Red_Sharif on March 01, 2008, 11:59:05 pm: Thought I'd post a couple screenies of this amazing ship in game. Since she occupies the XDD and XDG slots in my shiplist, I took the liberty of creating a new registry for her. Thanks to MajorRacal for providing the blank textures. 8)

Enjoy...
