Topic: Finally Got A New Release!!!! U.S.S. Okinawa Now @ TGP&BS!!!!

[Ducttapewonder]

Too bad I can't claim all the credit for it. B4 Ganymad disappeared into another dimension.....(btw does anyone know where that lil bugger is?)........he gave me permission to release the Okinawa that he retexed. 90% of the work is his. All I can claim is the registry, torp tubes, impulse and changing the position of the nacelles.

Thanx to Ganymad for the good work he did on this one.
+ Thanx to Lestat for spotting a serious flaw in the chop job I did on the nacelles.
And last but not least to Agent Sloan for helping to correct said flaw.

Original Mesh and Textures by Moonraker.

Well......here she is...........

 

 

 

Now available for D/L @ TGP&BS

WOW!!  Looks incredible!  I never really liked the Okinawa that much, but now I am going to put her back in my fleet.

[Bernard Guignard]

You Guys did great work on her Thank you.
       My only problem with the Okinawa is that based on her bridge and saucer windows she should be a much larger (this syndrome is calld FASAitis )vessel  than what is depicted in the game.  I really like the design but a frigate on SFB terms is too small for the design.
a Cruiser or Light cruiser desgination would be better. unless you put only one set of windows around the edge ofthe hull
to indicated one deck and scale up the bridge to suit. But the fact remains you all did a great job and it looks great I like
the sloping engine pylons it gives it just the right look.  Congratulations to you all.  Looking foward to seeing and downloading more great projects in the future. Keep up the great work

If people don't mind, I may play with the saucer and bridge.. I need an Okinawa that looks right as well for testing Monster fights on my system.  (And I'm going to be testing two or three monsters shortly).

[Bernard Guignard]

Hi atheorhaven
   Looking forward to see what you come up with.  
 

[Ducttapewonder]

I like your idea Atherohaven. I would have prefered to have this ship look more like a frigate than it does, but do not have the skills necassary to enlarge the bridge.

Btw.....I plan on releasing a few different configurations of the Okinawa. FFD, FFB, FFL....etc etc....

Take care,
Agent Sloan

Well done DTW and Ganymad! I hope Ganymad resurfaces soon....

I think I'll try these textures on the 100m version of the FASA Federation Remora soon.

Qapla!

I plan on releasing those versions with these textures and new regs too.......

Here is the FFL+ pic........

Hey Plasma  Torpedo Launcers they would take years to charge on a ship that size LOL

Somehow they manage to on the stock FFL in SFC............Probably cuz the plasma F takes no cost to hold. Which imo makes it more efficient than a photon torpedo.

Isn't there a version out there that actually has a deflector dish? If so, please make that one available too please.


KF

[Ducttapewonder]

I've never seen one with a deflector dish on it. But if it is out there, would someone send it my way?  

[atheorhaven]

Quick WIP shot.. played with this to unwind and try some new ideas for texturing out.. what do you think?



Feedback?  Good?  Bad?

[Captain Ron]

Looking good so far.

It is pretty much the same thing i had in mind and was going to play with it once I get the new Rosie done, with a YorkTown Registry and new textures (Just the Engines left to finish). So I will look into retexturing this ship down the road too.

[Fire Blade]

I Like it  gives the ship a sense of scale  good work keep it up !

[Klingon Fanatic]

Nicely done Atheorhaven! I like the window textures too, but I have to ask, a ship that small can have an arboretum?

At any rate, I'm going nuts trying to find the Okinawa with a deflector dish. DTW I'll send it your way if/when I find it...

Ganymad where are you?

Qapla!

KF

[starforce2]

just add a couple of glowing strips to the area where the deflector should be, like on the dauntless.

I built on what was already there.. this ship has the arboretum windows on the texture already.  But look a it this way, every starship could use a greenspot.  And if I remember correctly, even the classic Connie had a greenspot.  That episode with Kollos the Executioner has Kirk in a greenspot on the original Enterprise from what I remember with Kollos' daughter.
