The USS Remora Retex. w/ 3 Variants!! *Very Image Heavy*
« on: August 17, 2003, 01:26:07 am »
Finally after fighting with my hosting service for a week, I am able to upload files again to my site.  Here she is, the USS Remora, I have reworked the mesh a little and enhanced the textures.  I also redid the shuttle bay doors but they are not in the screenshots, I thought of doing after these were taken and uploaded, and I was too lazy to redo them.  Also there are three variants as well, they are also pictured below and you can get them seperately, I have three other variants I have done but until I hear back from Lestat I cannot release them yet, that will at least two weeks since he is on vacation right now.  Anyway enough talking here are the pics, there are 28 of them so be patient.

Also KF there is a 100m version of the Remora at my site, at least as close a representation to it as I could do.

All I can say is WOW!! Looks good! I think this might make the Remora #1 on KF's list, as far as variants and such. Way to go!

The way will remember you, Rogue, is the modeler of variants. A ship for everyone should be your slogan! Very cool ships. Very cool.

Well done! Thank you so much.

The USS Remora is now THE most made/kitbashed non-canon FASA Federation ship with eleven (11) varieties to chose from, #11 will be  the USS Black Police textures on the 100m version. The USS Baker DD is #2 for FASA Feds with 8 versions.

The D-10 Riskadh (10) and the L-9 Saber (7) are the top two FASA Klingons.

The White Wind (4) and soon the Z-1 Nova (4) will be tied as the top two FASA Romulans.

Qapla!

I used SFC2:OP, that is my favorite version of SFC because I love X-Ships.

Well in about 2 weeks that total will be 14, unless someone else decides to do more.  I am glad everyone likes them.

Modeler of Variants: Hmm, that's not a bad distinction, I think I like it.

Actually if you read my home page at my site, that's exactly what I wrote as our mission statement at Rogue Shipyards.  Minus the slgoan you came up with, although I think I will use that.

Before I start I put the ship I am going to photograph in a powerful ship spot, a DW or higher, but normall in the CA spots are good.  Then when customizing I make sure that the AI only has min BPV and can only choose from frigates.  I keep the race on Klingons, so usually I end up with the E3E in the matchup.  This has very little firepower so I am free to ignore for the most part.  

Once the game starts, I select Red Alert and take all weapons offline, Then I put the at Max speed and as much shield reinforcement to all shields, then I have nothing to worry about, except for running out of bounds which can be corrected easily enough.  If you don't have your ship moving then the AI like to just circle your ship messing any screenshots.

Here is what I do when I take screenshots.

1. I press "F9" to turn off the shield effects.  
2. I press "D" to get rid of the controls on the left hand side, this widens the field of view.
3. I press "F2" in order to free up the camera from chase mode.
4. I use the "Home" and "End" keys to circle the camera around the ship.
5. I use the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys to pivot the camera above and below the ship.
6. I use the "-" and "=" to zoom in and out on the ship.
7. I use the "F12" key to take the screenshot.

I am pretty sure I typed that correctly,  I'm sure anyone will correct it if it isn't.

I had the same problem with the Remora download.  I tried it twice with Getright and had a corrupt file both times.

You're kidding?!  I tested them when I uploaded them and everything was fine.  I'll fix that tonight when I get off work.

I reuploaded the files last night. they all work except for the Remoa.zip, so I uploaded this one again for a third time.  I am downloading it now to check it, but I have a slow connection, so if one of you has DSL or Cable, d/l it and tell me if it works.  It should.

any chacne u can kill the nacelle glow on the over/under nacelle version? (and probably the 3 ancelled version too) looks kinda silly with one side glowing and not the other with that or the center nacelle of the dreadnought variant. Aside from that, they look good.

Actually that is the way it's supposed to look, if you look at the Enterprise, that is the way it the glow was only on one side.  If you reposition the nacelles that how it would look at warp speed.  I'll tell you what I'll do I'll add alternate textures to my site that has the glow on both sides and on neither, it will be a seperate zip, but everyone that plays SFC now knows how to switch out the textures, so that won't be a problem.  This would be alot simple than adding them to the bigger zip files I would have to reupload them and I have enough to do tonight as it is.

Yo Rogue, actually that's only ever been the case on the connie refit, on the Reliant in STII and every time the studio model was seen (except the Bozeman) it had both sides blacked out, also it's pretty much accepted that for ships with odd numbers of nacelles or top-bottom nacelle arrangements they are either lit or black on both sides, not half and half. Just saying is all, really black would be better as it's meant to be some kind of armour to protect the inside bits.

Well I have only seen the movies, so I'll take your word for it.  Personally I think the glow is part of the appeal, it just looks great.    That's why I will have alternat textures, so people can customize, the ship to their liking.  I don't know if I'll do that for every ship, but the Variants would be easy to do.

Hi there Swiss Rogue, it's good to offer customisation but those one sided glows just look kinda lame on odd nacelles oh well, "all'ogni il suoi propri", that's to each his own, I think...
