Topic: TOS Loknar needed....I give up...

To be fair, Rick's stuff is/was great, but many of his ships have been surpassed, the Enterprise for one - have you seen Khaliban's version? If it weren't for the jpeg artifacts littering the textures it could be used in a trek film. Or Pataflafla's retextures of P81's ships, or Anduril's or Lord Schtupp's TOS ships, there are so many who are making stuff that has surpassed what P81 did because he did it all about 2 years ago.  

Yes that is an excellent version of the Enterprise I agree, I did mentioned everyone you brought up, the only exception is Anduril, I haven't been able to d/l his ships.  I heard he took them down for some reason, but that was before I came back to this board.  I agree wholeheartedly, that P81's ships have been surpassed, only because he went to work for Mad-Doc, anyway, personally I think Patafala's retextures look better, but I keep P81's for sentimental reasons.

That definately is Ricks.

Backwards registry on the starboard nacelle gives it away.  Not to mention the egg yolk bussards.....  

How about you make one eh? Your TOS is just as good as atra's or schuttups...it would match perfectly.


Now as far as the loknar posted above (nightsoft version is unreachable still) that is very low poly. The tos locknar I remember was less than a year old and looked stunning. That is why I figured atra had made one. It was either that or someone posted a CGI image somewhere and that is what I remember. Suppose I could try newships if I could remember the link. Anyone have the newships site link?  

That is an excellent idea, Anduril makes incredible ships judging from the pics I have seen online.  There is another person who is makiing several ships from TOS and TMP as well as several FASA designs, but I forget who it was and as of last month only a handful were online.

Rogue, I just released a D-5...not saying it's anywhere near the quality of those mentioned, but it's pretty good IMHO. You can see it in my thread about it, and also in my sig below.

I understand. I commend it but what I was refering to is a D5 that is of a style like the taldern mesh. Atra did a D4 Predator that I pretty much use by default for the Klingon D5. But it isn't exactly the Klingon NCA that it supposed to represent. The NCA is kind of a big deal for the Klingons because it marked the departure from the weak rear shielding and poor alpha strike that was common to their heavy cruisers. It was a reasonable opponent to the Federation NCA. Especialy since the Klingons never got their stasis device in SFC. KF did a couple of nifty retextures but the mesh itself a little mediocre. So believe me that I'm not dissing yoour pre-TOS D5. Shoot, if I was competent I would make one myself. I spent four days pasting FD13's textures to it a few weeks back. Truth is I can't make a texture worth applying to a mesh or I might give it a shot.

BTW, I would be happy to share any of Anduril's models that I have if you like.

It was released by Klingon Fanatic I believe.....well I retextured it for him! Let me see if I can find my copy, if you're interested....

Really? The Phobos is around? Shoot yes I'm interested. And I bet a lot of other people would be.

Do you by chance have any pics I can get? I have the FASA recognition manuals, but they are in a format I can't open. Is the one at Ex Astris Scientia (not SF Museum) the one you mean? I might give it a try if I can get pics.

The last stunning Loknar I remember seeing was the USS Phobos and it was TMP.  I'm not sure if that ever got released however.  

That's done. It will be in minions TMP pack. However I have not had much time to work on mods the last couple weeks, (I am not wasting perfectly good weather infront of the comp) but I have a miranda, connie and constelation I need to do and a tmp saladin to finish.

Also, does anyone know where gost has most of his models? I saw alot of stresspuppy models at a site here recently. All of them are either calsses I have or don't need or are just not going in the tos mod. LIke the yamato, bit of a super vessel.

The Phobos you with Minions pack is the one p81 did for him.  That isn't the one I'm refering to.  There is one that was shown here that was a rebuild off a high poly one with the authors blessing.

I have the USS Phobos you are referring to Anduril.

Fabio got this into Mod format and Makotokat posted it for a brief period of time at his site. It should be noted that I I had to use P81's Loknar front warp engine intake textures to fill in some missing textures. I e-mailed him about using his textures and credited him in the updated readme file.  It was also scaled down slightly. I'm pretty sure Makotokat has the updated version. If not I can always send it to him for uploading to his site. This makes a great X era Federation destroyer.

Qapla!

at the rate this is going to would be faster if someone just built a tos loknar...lol

KF, many pople would love to get their hands on the Phobos (myself included!  ) If there is anything you can do to help make it available to all, that would be terrific!
