...the gold variant of the Valdore somebody was working on?

I've been wracking my brain trying to remember who it was but no luck so far.

You're a trip man!

I made it. It's an updated DAWN mesh with different textures. It's in the TNZ modif you've got that, ot I can email it to you if you don't.

Cor! Just missed the big mail out

Can you mail me a copy too please... the email for it is big_feef_at_yahoo_dot_com.

Thanks in advance.

Woot! No worries Captain Korah, downloaded the TNZ mod to get it.

Well worth the 20 minute wait! I must say that your Norexam model is more accurate than Dawn's (given the limitations); but the textures are not as tight. Still, damn great ship model!

Twenty minutes! I always seen to get cut off if my downloads continue for about 15 minutes. Oh well, that's life with 56k. Worse things happen...

big_feef or Captain KoraH: What is this "Norexam model" that is in the TNZ mod? I've never heard of it.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #10 on:** September 11, 2003, 09:59:20 am »

BTW Captain KoraH, in case you're here and haven't checked your email since last night, I just wanted to thank you for sending me the Valdore A.
She looks great next to her green counterpart.

This completes my Nemesis set, save for the Scorpion fighter (as it never really participated in a battle). I can now recreate the best starship battle scene in Star Trek movie history (IMHO of course). I owe it to you!

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #11 on:** September 11, 2003, 10:45:35 am »

You guys are welcome.

The model that I emailed to these two guys has better, brighter textures than the one in the mod.

Would one of you guys mind emailing that zip file to Big_Beef for me? I deleted it after I emailed it to you.

'Norexam' is supposedly the canon name for the class of ship we call the 'Valdore'. Valdore was only the name of one of the ships and commanded by Donatra alonside the Enterprise-E against the Scimitar. Because of the way Paramount seems to treat canon material, we have not had good schematics or any other clarification on the ships abilities, history, etc.

We just saw two of them show up to help the Enterprise-E.

What I find funny about people's reaction to the Norexam class is their opinion that they suck; largely based on their performance in the movie (and this view seems to be of the majority of Star Trek fans). Well, look at it this way: the Scimitar only wanted to disable the Enterprise... without harming Picard. The Norexams were just getting in the way, so had to be eliminated as quickly as possible; which they were. That meant they took the brunt of whatever the Scimitar was throwing out at em, while the Enterprise-E was just getting a wrist slap in comparison. The Enterprise-E and the two Norexams were dishing out all they had against the Scimitar; and still at the end of the battle, it's shields were only down to 70%!

Some people just watch movies without actually seeing I guess.

Hey Captain Korah, thanks... I'm really enjoying your TNZ mod. Unfortunately, I can't go online because I'm behind a network firewall (and I've gone through all the stuff in the connection readme... still no go). You've got a lot of great ships in there, lot of talent my friend. My second favourite ship (aside from your Norexam of course), is the Borg Sovie... That thing kicks!

Kaenyne · « **Reply #14 on:** September 11, 2003, 10:58:08 am »

Thanks for clarifying for me big_feef.

And I agree with you about the way Paramount handles Star Trek soemtimes. It is frustrating to us fans. Hopefully someday we'll have the luxury of a new guidebook, CD-ROM or something that will give us schematics, etc. I tend to think of her as the counterpart to the Enterprise E. Smaller yet more powerful than the TNG warbird as the Enterprise E is to the D.

BTW, do you still need the Valdore A (i.e. gold version)? If so, I can send it to you tonight...

Kaenyne · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2003, 11:02:33 am »

Hey again big_feef!

I just went back and read some of the previous posts and was curious to know some more about the ships in the TNZ mod.

Could you give me a listing (as much as you can remember that is) of the ships that appear in it?

So far I'm aware of the Valdore/Norexam and the Borg Sovereign.

Thanks!

big_feef · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2003, 11:03:32 am »

I've got both of them, but the new textures would sure be nice. I have no complaints about the ones I have... they're still bloody awesome; but I'm not gonna turn down a chance to make them even better.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #17 on:** September 11, 2003, 11:11:05 am »

Very well then.

I'll send you the gold Valdore tonight!
