I think we've all had enough Feds for a while. I say this because after viewing some of the various sites I noticed how few Romulan and Klink ships there were to choose from compared to the endless string of Feds floating around (even though I'm a contributor to the blue plague myself

). Although I'm not a particular fan of the pointy eared devils, their starship designs do have a unique appeal so the first of maybe many Roms is the classic Bird of Prey. This is closely based on the stock RFR model in SFC, only much more detailed.

Looks classic WZ, it kinda reminds me of the FASA V9 (I think it's the V9) that has those TMP style engines, this one is much more streamlined though, very nice.

This is some good news, just when I needed some

I'm sure that your Roms will be every bit as good as your Feds, which are amoung the best.

Hello Wicked Zombie
I like it very nicely done

Looking forward to seeing the final product.

anduril · « **Reply #7 on:** June 09, 2003, 07:42:15 pm »

The stock rfr is definately in need of a remake. Looking at the rear of that model makes one feel ill.

Mesh looks great.

A few of these would make an interesting skirmish when used against your latest Connie.......

WickedZombie45 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 09, 2003, 08:01:49 pm »

You always have to mention that ship don't you Anduril? As if I really needed another example of my morbid perfectionism. Bastard

The texture work is halfway finished so far:

Azel · « **Reply #9 on:** June 09, 2003, 10:31:48 pm »

DUDE those textures ROCK!!!!
I love the shade of green

nice is it for sfc3

The War Eagle is now posted at Demon Renegade Studios' newly opened Romulan download section. She's compatible with all versions of SFC and comes with the appropriate files.

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2003, 05:25:17 pm »

Alrighty then

I'm on my way over now. You're on a real role with all these new ships. I hope you will keep it going. Thanks a lot!!!

LongTooth · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2003, 05:25:37 pm »

Best war bird Ive seen for sfc thanks for the ship

damo1 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2003, 05:28:41 pm »

downloading it now

Marauth · « **Reply #15 on:** June 10, 2003, 05:47:11 pm »

She's a beauty alright, not a big fan of green roms, but this is still very cool. I suppose I could creyscale the hull areas... LOL

WickedZombie45 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2003, 06:35:47 pm »

Here VL, I'll save ya the trouble:

I just got her posted on DRS for those that like the classic paint scheme better.

Marauth · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2003, 06:49:17 pm »

WOOHOO! Er... I mean, splendid... I'm off to d/l her now.

P.S. - if you do any other Roms, any chance of a Battlehawk like the Taldren one?

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #18 on:** June 10, 2003, 10:49:19 pm »

WZ, Any chance of you making the "wicked" looking fonts available? I'd like to get them, please.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2003, 08:01:03 am »

Excellent work, WZ! After the Federation, the Rommies are a close second to the best ship designs, IMHO. Your War Eagle really captures the look of the original series but with a TMP twist.

So what's next on your plate? The Excalibur Edition 3? The Klingon captured Constitution? Lots of stuff on your WIP page got me drooling...

Makotokat · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2003, 02:54:12 pm »

I've said it before, I'll say it again. You do nice work WZ!

WickedZombie45 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 11, 2003, 10:37:43 pm »

Vl - I might make a Battlehawk, it seems like an interesting ship to hi-res-ify.

Rod - I actually found most of the Trek fonts I use in a single Trek font pack. The one above is 'Romulan Falcon'. Do a search on google, you're bound to find dozens of links to 'em.

Kaenyne - I'd actually planned a few more Roms and Klinks since I'm suffering from Post-Fed-Construction-Syndrome at the moment

LongTooth · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2003, 01:41:58 pm »

The split hulled condor drread thats in the game could realy do with a rework

Hi rez klings are all ways needed

Marauth · « **Reply #23 on:** June 12, 2003, 02:21:23 pm »

I HATE the Taldren Condor, man that ship is ugly and should be forgotten forever, it's just an uglified TMP era D'Deridex. Personally I much prefer Thu11s Condor but, kinda like the Klink D5 the CON is what they call an insurmountable challenge, if someone made it look nice, I'll eat my SFC CD, then go out and buy another copy! What I wanna know is why no one ever does any high res Lyrans, Hydrans, Gorn or Kzinti (the Mirak paint schemes look horrid - long live the Kzinti Hegemony! LOL) these days. A high res Lyran Tiger based on the taldren Tiger would be a beaut, there's a really cool pic on the SFCI manual cover that had a Tiger being destroyed by a B'rel firing a phaser out of it's torpedo tube (Darmok II?

) that's the model they should have put in the game.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #24 on:** June 12, 2003, 02:58:41 pm »

Hey WZ!

Fine by me!

Personally, I'd like to see some more Rommies.

Given any thought to making the Valdore? I know there is at least one of them out there, but I've never seen the Gold version. (hint,hint)

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #25 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:16:33 pm »

<--- *is skeptical of the existance of any "gold version" valdore*....

Marauth · « **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:24:32 pm »

I haven't even seen the film yet, but apparently one Valdore is the familiar green, while the other is and odd gold/bronze shade. Solution: take each texture of the green Valdore already out there and colorise it, I could do it in 15 mins if I had the model, most of it's green so there's minimal masking to be done...

Kaenyne · « **Reply #27 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:31:15 pm »

I only discovered the gold version this week. I saw some DVD screen captures of it. I believe the site is www.trekpulse.com

Look in the movies section, select Nemesis and go from there.

Lestat, I can try to email you my Valdore if you'd like.

Marauth · « **Reply #28 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:44:16 pm »

It's cool, I unearthed it from a folder full of SFCIII stuff, I'm gonna try rearranging the HPs and just leave the glows, it should work in SFCII

Kaenyne · « **Reply #29 on:** June 12, 2003, 03:49:16 pm »

That would be really cool of you, Lestat!

I'm looking forward to it!

Marauth · « **Reply #30 on:** June 12, 2003, 04:15:35 pm »

Follow the white rabbit:

http://uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/l35747_485/lst?&.dir=/Star+Trek+stuff&.src=ph&.view=t

don't mind the other stuff in there, it's my ST pic repository. Not much in there now, deleted a load of old cr4p I didn't need.

Edit: almost forgot - find out who did it and email them Re permission to release and I'll email it to anyone who want's to host it (provided the person says yes ofcourse)

Kaenyne · « **Reply #31 on:** June 13, 2003, 08:19:37 am »

Followed the white rabbit to the pics and was very pleased.

I like your other two ships there too. Is one of them an Excalibur BTW?

And as far as I know, the Valdore was modelled by "Dawn" according to www.staryards.com

Unfortunately, I can only access the front page of the site.

You wouldn't happen to know of this Dawn would you?

Marauth · « **Reply #32 on:** June 13, 2003, 08:34:48 am »

I know of him, in that I remember the release of this model, and I think he may have posted here, not sure though. I'll have a look see if there's contact info in the readme of the model...

k, got it: dawn29thct@lycos.de is his email, I'll give it a try l8r 2day.

Apparently the .MOD is an EAW/OP file, but there are SFCIII style damage textures along with TI, VL and BS images (for the ship images in SFCIII) so I'll assume for now it's hardpoints work for OP, as that is specifically stated in the readme. Also I removed the odd 'box' of extra polygons that was stuck to the wing in the initial release, but I couldn't fix the gap in the mesh on the underside of the hull, you wont notice it in SFC, maybe if it was in BC or something...

Oh and the Excalibur pic is my character's ship, the Sicilia, it's a basic retexture, the other is a kitbash I made of the Excalibur, Araxes, and Nightstorm's Justice DNX.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #33 on:** June 13, 2003, 09:51:48 am »

Alright!

Thanks for doing the homework.

Admittedly, most of what you said is lost on me, but from the gist of it, it sounds like we have a go on the Valdore (with Dawn's permission pending).

Looking forward to the model.

However it turns out as to getting permission, thanks for your efforts, Lestat!

Marauth · « **Reply #34 on:** June 13, 2003, 10:38:04 am »

K, I emailed Dawn, now we gotta wait for him to reply, in the mean time I think we should give WZ his thread back that we so rudely hijacked.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #35 on:** June 13, 2003, 10:45:16 am »

Agreed...

Sorry WZ, we still love ya!
