[Lord Schtupp]

Geez I thought that this would be easy to do - well HA! Still no in-game shots as my hotkeys are completely non functional. I have not tried re-install yet, maybe some brain out there can help me... She really looks awesome in game, esp. if you have a hot gamecard that supports external antialiasing.

OK - Constitution Class with detailed weapons and hull, this is the definitive FCA. Torps on the bottom just the way Scotty likes 'em, ADD, drone launchers and sec hull phasers also added.

I thought the constitution was already released on your site? Are you updating some/all of them or what makes this one different from the Enterprise in your download section?

[Bernard Guignard]

Hi Starforce
    This beauty is the Archernar Class Refit from Franz Josephs Technical manual which is the ship that SFB uses as thier miniature. Great work LS   Thank you so very much  

[starforce2]

Ok, call  me stupid, but what exactly is the difference?

[Dizzy]

WOW!

Thats bad ass LS!

I'm a big fan and have all your TOS. This ones sweet!

[Rhaz]

Very cool - thanks for the extra textures!

Will you release a blank set too?

[Kaenyne]

HAPPY MONDAY!!!  

Wow! An absolutely stunning Connie for Monday!

Now that's how I like to start my week off!

Thank you, Lord Schtupp!

BTW, how much different are the 1024 textures from the 512?

Would they be really noticeable on a high-end machine?

Whoa, as we're nitpicking, this is not the Achernar, the Achernar has the oversized bridge module and rounded B/C decks, the torpedoes mounted on the B/C decks and the hoops on the nacelles (don't know the Techy mumbo-jumbo) are not filled in.

This is a mixture of the Achernar but corrected to have the TOS details (filled hoops, small bridge, teardrop shaped B/C decks and torps on the underside)

Oh and the one on the site has no details that weren't visible in the show (e.g. no weapons or hull plating etc.)

Well you can still read "ENTERPRISE"  on the shuttlebay with the 512 texes, you can really only see a difference if you zoom in halfway or better; so for serious gameplay I would recommend the 512s BUT with the 1024's you might  be able to tell the natural hair color of the Playboy centerfold I used to detail the windows.....  

This is not a brag but Im running a 256 Mb asus nvidea card, 21" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution so yea - I can tell the difference.

Yep. Tonight I hope with a couple of others...

Good Question: I should have said this earlier...

The two big diffences are detailed weapons and hull details. This one is based on the Tech Manual, (though not religiously) so she would match my other models. The first one I did is meant to replicate the TOS studio model more or less exactly. No weapons or detail that isnt on the studio model.


Thanks for liking the new connie everybody!

@#$&*!

I have a lower end machine, but I want to try and buy a new one sometime this year.

I'll need to check out that centerfold you mentioned someday. Bur I need to know?what are her hobbies? What's her favorite color? Does she want world peace?

This is important information!

I DON'T have a lower end machine but I to have some sluggishesh with too many custom models.   The 'Evil Dave" style missions on most D2s these days have many ships on the board and sometimes my Pentium IV/Radeon 8500 struggles.

This all changes after i down-sampled all of the bitmaps to 8 bit color.  

[jayvt3]

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Schweeeeeet!
 But why can't I make stuff like this!!  WHY! WHY! WHY!

Hmm so why is it that when I convert to 8 bit color the game errors out on gamestart? - If it didnt do this then I would also convert all my bitmaps to 8 bit. I convert my illumination maps to greyscale from rgb before saving so they are 8 bit right?

hmmmmmmmm....

The ship is totally sweet BTW, a little... red but cool none the less. I have only 2 questions:

1. WTF is that little circular protrusion just underneath the impulse engines - it's on the Pegasus aswell.

2. Does this mean We'll see updated versions of your other ships with the kick-arse weathering? (Saladin, Surya, Federation and Ptolemy) A lot of the work is already done from the Pegasus.

What do you mean a little red?

1. That is the rotary ADD launcher. Although I had assigned the hardpoint to it on the pegasus, the game seems to ignore HPs assignments for ADD fire.

2. Yes.

It's how they make baby starships, Les.
