This pic is small and got fuzzy when resized. I just wanted to give you a peek at what the base Mirak design well look like.
Made it this far in 3 hours. Hope to be able to upload pics to mu pic host tommorow. May have to do it at school as apparently my ISP needs to update the DNS tables and guessing they don't do it often.

Mirak sneek peek!

To see the pic clearer you could d/l it. Open in a photo editor and sharpen it a couple times.

Thanks guys. Hey got the 1st mirak up for d/l at my club. Click link below my Hydran pic and find the mirakff.zip under files.

This is a beta version using Taldren's textures. The textures were mapped in less then an hour. Just want to get feed back.

ie: Are the nacels too big. Or should I create new textures...etc.
Well be doing an entire fleet of these. The final versions will have lightmaps,
hardpoints and break mods.

At least I resized it for the zff class. Stll no pics, ugh.

Qapla

Promising. The warps need to go another direction. Not radicly different necessarily. You might be able to make something work ouy of that geometry. Then again the Taldren nacelles are the weakest part of their models. Thanks for showing it.

James Formo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2003, 09:35:57 pm »

Hmm. Well the Nacels I made are the 1st ever I can think of that are curved from one end to the other. I made them kinda in a shape of a claw, keeping with the hunter theme of the Mirak. I thought they might have looked a tad bit too large in game. As it happens I have many more poly's in the struts then in the nacels.

I did up a Tmp/TNG version of the WYN auxillary BC by Rod O'neal's request. Its available at my Yahoo club in beta version.
I resized it to a CA class. I have not had it in game yet so you could be the 1st, lol.

In all likelyhood I will remove my Hydrans to make room for my Mirak. Be sure to get the Hydrans soon if you want them. I will relocate the Hydrans after they are updated with break mods and textures.

My free pic host seams to be trying to get me to upgrade, but I will wait them out

HELP PLEASE- light bulb just went off. If someone would test out the Mirak BC and post an in game screenie in this thread, that would be so cool.

Note to E_Look. These mirak do not have lightmaps yet so these files should also work in SFC1. Might want to get them before I update. Keep putting off SFC1 conversions as long as new ship ideas keep flowing. Gotta go with the flow.

Here is the direct link. It is showing as the top file. The zip is called Mirakbc. Just checked to see if it d/l ok. Was working but sometimes Yahoo has hiccups. If you still can't get it. Email me at makeitjames@hotmail.com and I'll send it your way tommorow.

Edit-Um perhaps I misunderstood. I was reading your homepage and you list the Mirak and WYN seperately. I do not have a backgroud in SFB. I take it WYN is a designation for a different race. I made the WYN ax BC as a Mirak ship. Maybe that is why you don't see it.

Were all the WYN ships textured white? Are they related to any other races?

I just looked at it. That's a nice interpetation of the AxBC for the later eras. I like the curved engines, They might be a bit advanced looking for an TMP freighter, but they look real nice, This might be more TNG, I guess. Whatever era though, I like it and appreciate it.

PS: ADB does WYN ships white. I've seen them done in Kzinti "brick red" though, and liked them. Of course, Taldren's are green.

I will email the 1st 2 beta models if Yahoo is giving ya fits. Just email me at makeitjames@hotmail.com and request the miraks. Only will do this for the beta's as they are small files and I just on a modem. Hope to get the final versions up at SFU.

Still no luck with my pic host.

James Formo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 08, 2003, 02:30:51 am »

Finally I can post pics- Here goes. Not all classes have been determined yet.

These are TNG designs. They are meant to still fit in with the stock TMP ones. Much like you still see some late Fed TMP ships in TNG. Was even thinking of putting the new nacels on the stock tmp ships to upgrade them for TNG mods. These should also mix in well with Kreearghs' Mirak designs. So now there should be plenty to choose from along with Azels'.

My designs should progress as well, and get further away from the stock models as I get to the TNG flagship

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #15 on:** August 08, 2003, 07:08:04 am »

Well, I managed to get a few more of your creations before Yahoo put the kabash on me

Your stuff looks real nice. Thanks for doing some of the less available races for us.
