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 · « **Reply #2 on:** September 20, 2003, 05:39:29 am »

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).

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

Ducttapewonder · « **Reply #5 on:** September 20, 2003, 03:36:19 pm »

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....

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

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #12 on:** September 20, 2003, 07:04:05 pm »

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

KF

Ducttapewonder · « **Reply #13 on:** September 20, 2003, 09:30:53 pm »

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

atheorhaven · « **Reply #14 on:** September 21, 2003, 03:57:50 am »

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 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 21, 2003, 05:20:16 am »

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 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 21, 2003, 05:56:36 am »

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

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #17 on:** September 21, 2003, 07:19:36 am »

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!

starforce2 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2003, 07:23:01 am »

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

Ducttapewonder · « **Reply #20 on:** September 21, 2003, 01:15:07 pm »

Hey Atherohaven,
I'm putting together a package that includes the other varients of the class. I have to agree that the saucer rim is an improvement and would like to use it with the other varients. Could you shoot it over to me bud?

Thanx

DTW

Chrystoff · « **Reply #21 on:** September 21, 2003, 02:23:45 pm »

Hey, DTW, a few weeks ago you showed a glimpse of a WIP that looked at lot like a retextured version of P81's Hatfield class carrier/battlecruiser. Are you still working on that? I have always liked that ship, and your famous upgrades would make it awesome.

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #25 on:** September 22, 2003, 07:09:55 pm »

Hi Ducttapewonder
Looking forward to it

Captain Ron · « **Reply #26 on:** September 22, 2003, 10:50:24 pm »

I still like the 2 warp engine version, and Yes I have seen it resently.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #27 on:** September 25, 2003, 07:39:59 pm »

Sorry for the lateish reply, but no problem on getting the rim texture to you.. I'll email it right after this.

Finished the upper saucer now as well, so this should be almost ready to go. Just going to tweak the windows on the upper hull a bit more so that I'm happy with them, and then I'll release.

But here's where it's at right now..

Just wait until I get my hands on it, like the waythis one looks but I think I will look it over too!

Ducttapewonder · « **Reply #29 on:** September 25, 2003, 09:59:19 pm »

I like it Atherohaven. I'm going to mess with the rest of the rim to make it blend a little better, then re-release it.
