Lyran update
« on: December 20, 2003, 06:58:46 am »
Quick update before I go to work...

Lyran CA, still need to do a bridge section for it, was thinking of something like a conning tower affair in the middle kinda lika a carrier bridge. We'll see

 
 
 
 
The domes on the wings are supposed to be the ESG generators (kinda inspired by the gravwell generators on the Interdictor (?) star destroyer) and the notches down the side are the phaser emitters.

This is the FF mesh with the base texture slapped over the top Still need to add the engines tho

 
 
 

more to come later (well, tommorow as I finish work at 1am  )

Well done Thulls and Thank you for sharing these with us.

I'll be keeping an eye on these ships. When (if?) there's enough of a suite of them, I think I'll replace my current set of models.

.. I have questions.. .. like.. how many more will there be?

Well, I'm planning to do as many as possible. I'm just aiming to get all the basic classes done first, FF, DD, DW, CL etc etc. Then work on variants such as carriers (PF & Fighter), Tug's and Maulers, bascially those that are noticably different from there base hull variants. Command/leader versions will also be done, the Bengal Tiger CC for instance just needs a larger centre section and slightly different markings, same again for the Java Tiger CCH. So quite easily you get three different ships with not to much effort for me (very important )

I'm also working on how to do power packs for those that get them, so there will probably be ships in two versions, one with & one without, but again thats way down the list. Those classes that are built with them like the later cruisers will obviously have them from the off. Also the PF will be redone and if I can find/do a klink fighter I like then I'll Lyranise that to fit in

As for the LDR, I'm undecided whether to wait till most of the Lyran are done to do them or do them as I go along. Only reason I say that is that I want to concentrate on getting the whole lot done rather than having a few ships done here and there (see my ISC which need finishing ). But be assured they will get done. I know that 'The Vampire Lestat' was also chomping at the bit to do his own LDR (complete retexture rather than colour changes) when I release them so you'll eventually have 2 lots to pick n mix from

bored at work.....

These ships are really sweet.

Finally a frigate that looks like a frigate and not some frail box kite. Keep up the good work. Maybe we will get more players some day soon.

Wow, that looks really good!

As to the bridge detail, how about just adding some bridge-lighting to the existing leading-edge of the center section?  Or maybe a canoe-like structure like the bridge of a Star Destroyer between the ESGs?  Just a though.  Anyway, can't wait to d/l!
