Is the R-SKL supposed to be showing the BH model with the Skyhawk UI?

No models pack, right?

Request for more ISC ship models please, or spread the ones present now through more of the fleet. Like the HDWs and BCV.

A couple BPV questions,

The ISC BCV is 262bpv it has weapons of a CCZ but power of CAZ. The CCZ is 229 Bpv. How was BPV calculated for this ship? How about the I-CCX? Its a really good ship, but not better than a I-XCA... is it?

A request:

Could someone explain battletugs/tugs and Monitors to me? Some SFB background and their actual uses in SFC would be great . Thanks.

And praise:

Split PPD mounts are the best thing ever!

I love the I-BBVZ

Its BPV is just right.

Thank You, again, for all the hard work

It is greatly appreciated.....

now back to work till all the ISC ships look as preeety as the Feddies

SFB Tugs etc.

In SFB, in addition to the extremely slow freighters, there are "line" warships converted to a cargo carrying role. Tugs and Light Tactical Transports (LTTs).

The original tug was from the Franz Joseph Technical Manual (the Ptlomey). Notice how it looks like a cruiser with a giant pod slung / towed underneath. SFB created "pallet", which fulfill the same role as pods for certain races.

These pods are normally bulk-freight carriers, but someone designed pods filled with such things as weapons, fighter hangers, power systems, etc.

When these special pods are fitted to the tugs, you get the "special" tugs like battle tugs (carrying battle pods), carrier tugs (with hanger pods), etc.

Monitors:

Special ships designed to have DN level firepower. Due to cost-saving measures, the engines are barely capable of moving the ship. They are normally towed to an important system where they are assigned system-defense duties. If a monitor was theoretically sent on a fixed-position assault or an escort mission, the monitor is so slow that it would take forever to get to the target / destination...

Progress report..

Model fixing:
60 models to do..
.. out of the current 223.
The Lyrans are done.
The Gorns are done.
The ISC are done.
The Klingons are done.
The Hydrans are done.

Other fixes that have been completed:
1- The L-CWS ship and variants has been added. (I've missed it, apparently)

Other enhancements:
1- Strafer's a fan of Thu11s' new Lyran models, so I've been adding some model separation in the shiplist for him for the LCA, LCC, DCA, DCC, DCCH.. .. there'll be more eventually, but that's all that Thu11s has released for now.

2- Strafer (yeah, him again) decided to do some work on the strings.txt himself. He reviewed all the shipclass names.
Ship classes have been reviewed and renamed to polish the works up. I don't know how many more are left to do.
ie: The G-BB is now called "Godzilla Battleship".

Other News:
I've bought myself a condo. I'm gonna be busy for a while moving stuff over (a few boxes a night type of thing) and preparing the place. We're in the process of painting the master bedroom (2nd primer layer should go on tonight). There's a lot of work to do, and it takes precedence over anything OP-related.

FireSoul · « **Reply #188 on:** April 05, 2004, 03:33:14 pm »

Yes, I intend to keep that up. However..

.. there might be downtime during the move.

Shouldn't the F-FDX be a freighter instead of a special class? I bring it up as it has become a bit of an issue in the GZ forums as an unbalacing designation in the TBPV format allowing the Feds to use it as a very cheap throw away ship at 24 BPV allowing them to spend the extra on larger hulls for the rest of the fleet. The Feds with the FDX (Federation Express) are the only race with such a low BPV ship available on GSA, the name of the ship and it's relative position in the shiplist file lead me to believe it might have actually been a freighter.

The_Infiltrator · « **Reply #190 on:** April 06, 2004, 08:31:45 pm »

It is a freighter - just a abnormally fast one. Note the word "express".

Strafer · « **Reply #192 on:** April 06, 2004, 10:19:25 pm »

It was made playable for the sheer fun of it.

ghostcamel · « **Reply #195 on:** April 06, 2004, 10:46:55 pm »

[quoteThat comes down to exactly what the SFB BPVs are for these ships. The I-CC (with rear PLaFs) is 220 BPV while the I-BCV is 238. I did it right. Note that the I-CCZ's BPV has remained unchanged from Stock SFC:OP.

I see where my problem lies. I dont really think the BCV without the CCs 44 power is automatically worth 18 points more, just for the ability to carry restitutions.

Quote:

.. as for the BCV, I don't consider making a model a correction.
As pretty as the Freddies.. yeah right.

Not sure what you mean here, if you mean ive inspired you to make some new 3dmodels for ISC, my job here is done

I found the models i was refering to over at FeralYards<---i meant 3d models, not new ships specifications.I was pretty happy with the BCV, then i saw the BBCV, and the new light carriers. ISC got a bunch of new stuff, like everybody. Im happy. Ive wanted a BCV for so long, and unfortunately im not an SFB guy. I couldnt research them myself. Then to come back and see one, even an underpowered one, included in a widely accepted shiplist was just fantastic.

I dont think i noticed a difference in the HDWs from stock CLs ,ill check again.

And just to confirm, OP+ 3.2 is a 143mb file right? Not 43?

FireSoul · « **Reply #197 on:** April 06, 2004, 10:58:42 pm »

1- I know those models.. and to tell you honestly, I don't like them much. It doesn't fit in with the scheme well.

2- .. OP+ 3.2: size: 43.4mb

Kroma_BaSyl · « **Reply #198 on:** April 06, 2004, 11:05:04 pm »

How about making everyones APT's playable then, that way everyone can share in the fun and any of the particular TBPV balance issues do to one race having a low end ship at half the cost of everyone elses goes away?
