Well, my personal preference is the SFB style. But that's a cool ship you got there. I really like how you've backward-extrapolated the stock Taldren design. I say finish it, and maybe try a SFB version later.

Is there a forklift version?

Gotta love the forklift...

PS: Lookin great...

I too agree with Terradyne.

I think your designs here are superior to the exact SFB forms.

thxs guys

the yellow i think you right looking at that good tip never do textures after working nights
you never fully awake lol i`ll tone them down abit today

DM

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #8 on:** September 17, 2003, 01:30:49 pm »

Yup, definitely make your own. This is primarily unchartered territory. Who knows, maybe you'll end up being the Jackill or Guenther of Pre-TOS with your designs.

Qapla!

You know, I acually like the yellow colro as it is DarkMatrix.

Okay, I can see what others are saying about your Lyrans looking like Caterpillars,
so I say why not capitalize on it. You could create new colors based on the suggestions of others AND keep your original yellow and slap on a Caterpillar logo was you have yourself a futuristic construction company. And they could own the company that makes the workbees. Caterpillars and bees. It works, don'tcha think?

And BTW, your designs are most cool!

I really really like that the way it is. Thanks for showing it off.

exellent work, nice to see someone be a heretic and not make something SFB-style copied... the coloring is fine.

DarkMatrix · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2003, 02:06:47 am »

ok i toned down the colour by 25% making it less yellow more of a brown/yellow now

also added the torp tube textures

and modeled a set of warpengines for the back of the dn sfb style ones
keep or loose them????

starforce2 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2003, 02:20:40 am »

it looks strange seeing redish sorta purple manifolds...I dunno. These type of boxy lyrans are actualy why I hate their ships so much. Though I will say now that you've toned down the yellow they don't look like they've just been polished or like a toy or something.

starforce2 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 18, 2003, 04:36:21 am »

I've never seen the starfleet battles, but I guess if yur going for acuracy...lol

MajorRacal · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2003, 07:38:34 am »

DM, I think you should keep running with what you've got. There's nothing wrong with the engines, they look just fine to me... and I actually prefer the brighter yelloe tone to the darker version (but my eyesight is now beginning to fade with age).

Marauth · « **Reply #17 on:** September 18, 2003, 07:50:25 am »

Well, apart from the yellow I like it very much (prefer the sand coloured Lyrans myself) although different county fleets often paint their ships different colours than the standard sand - several are grey, some have camo-schemes and the Night Star county even have black ships so I wouldn't worry about it, this could be a variation for this new county you've made. I like the extrapolation from the SFC DN but I would have dropped the bar that runs across the front, it just doesn't fit with the Lyran shape (they look like Lyres actually so it shows where the SFB artists got the name from)

Outgoing communication to the Yorktown:

Your request for reinforcements is currently being reviewed. This may take sometime as we are currently involved in a filibuster here. Keep up the good work, and good luck
