Dizzy · « **Reply #1 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:18:50 am »

WOW!

You know... The Roll Bar weapons pod really makes it look the role of a BC.

So what have you done, Fury of a Seraph, have you altered the meshes of these ships to get the Roll Bar? I havent seen them previously with that on them.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #2 on:** January 26, 2004, 06:22:41 am »

Thanks Dizzy

Yeah, thats basically all i did, its actually a kitbash of an Excelsior or excelsior2 with a Miranda

Rhaz · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2004, 09:00:05 am »

Those are VERY cool! I'll be d/ling them as soon as they are posted!

Great idea putting the rollbar on the excelsior, it really looks like it belongs there.

Dizzy · « **Reply #4 on:** January 26, 2004, 10:21:40 am »

Fury of a Seraph, was wondering. Would you change the texture mapping of the 2x outside impulse engines on the Excelsior(enterprise) B to shuttlebays instead? Maybe use an are on an existing texture that isnt being used?

I dont know what model u are using, but on Moonrakers Excelsior lookalike Enterprise-B, he uses this: 28ImpEng bitmap for both the inside 2x and outside 2x impulse engines.

I have always wanted to see a shuttle bay there instead. Mainly because the outside impulse engines would burn off the warp nacelles as they are right behind them... Bad design.

Is that canon?

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2004, 11:34:27 am »

I use p81's Excelsior, but i dont see that as being a problem.
Ill even use that for the Athens2 and Athens2+

sandman69247 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2004, 11:41:40 am »

Those are awesome!!

Would it be possible to use these in the Lost Era mod? Keep up the good work, bud!!

Chrystoff · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2004, 11:54:07 am »

I can hardly wait to get a hold of these! Very well done!

Dizzy · « **Reply #8 on:** January 26, 2004, 11:54:43 am »

I didnt know P81 made an Enterprise-B.

Where do I get it?

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2004, 12:04:25 pm »

Sandman: Of course you can use these in the Lost Era Mod.
Hardpointing them is gonna be a pain, so dont expect these to come out for a little while.

Dizzy: www.the-tcs.net
Keep in mind they are 1024x1024 Textures, they can be a handful

ALSO
i am also gonna do the Ajax, which is basically the DD version, or a saladin with Excelsior parts. and im gonna do one with a Sensor pod, as on the Pleiades.

Azel · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2004, 01:32:40 pm »

Awesome stuff man!!!

You need to add the Theseus CC to that Lot
Its an awesome design as well

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #11 on:** January 26, 2004, 01:36:59 pm »

Whats she look like?

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2004, 02:19:21 pm »

Here is the lastest one
Its the Jupiter Class - its kinda like the Excelsior form of the Yamato.

Gotta catch 'em all!

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2004, 04:50:00 pm »

BUT WAIT, THERES MORE!!!

This is the Commendant class command cruiser

Yes this is more compact than the excelsior, the Excelsior is a BC, this is a CA.

I will work on the textures of the pod when i get a chance.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #18 on:** January 26, 2004, 05:10:08 pm »

Yup you guessed it, there is a Commendant2.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2004, 07:52:26 pm »

Last addition for the night, unless i get another case of insomnia

This is the Excelsior form of the Mars

This is the Excelsior form of a Fast Heavy Cruiser
This comes in all four forms (Diem, Diem+, Diem2, Diem2+ {Pictured})

This makes 18 Varients (inluding the original 2 excelsior ships) Thus far.
This does NOT include other varients - IE: Mackies' Niskaulikus or Chesterfield.
However, those will be added to the list, Permissions Pending

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2004, 09:20:00 pm »

I lied one more

This is the Ajax - the Excelsior form of the Saladin - no its not done yet im gonna throw a torpedo pod between the necks - ala Ulysses.

you forgot to say that you have made a excelsior version of the miranda, where can i get it?

nx_adam_1701 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 27, 2004, 02:20:42 am »

speaking about the Miranda, I have been looking for an upgraded Miranda TNG, now I have seen the Bassmaster, and its a great ship, but the only problem is that the Bussard collectors are very wierd, theres 2 on each nacelle and it doesnt look so cannon like, I have never seen that before but I could be wrong but is anyone willling to make the Miranda like the Bassmaster in that the ship still has it 4 torpedoe launchers on top and 2 new ones in the forward saucer section, but normal looking engines, please!!! thanks

adam out

atheorhaven · « **Reply #26 on:** January 27, 2004, 03:55:05 am »

Should just be able to swap out the nacelles with standard Galaxy Class nacelles and that'll fix 'er up for you. I remember when I was working on the textures that those are basically Galaxy Class nacelles with modifications. So swapping out those nacelles with stock Galaxy nacelles will make use of the pre-existing textures that are there so you won't have to re-reg the new nacelles.

Mind you, the Galaxy nacelles usually aren't regged anyways with the stock p81 nacelles, so np either way..

starforce2 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 27, 2004, 06:36:10 am »

where's the trident? Knox did one of the old excelcior...could use a new one

DestinyCalling · « **Reply #30 on:** January 27, 2004, 12:04:01 pm »

The only request I have is.....

Can you release them as soon as is physically possible....!!!

hehehe

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #32 on:** January 28, 2004, 12:00:24 pm »

I was gonna do that one, i just havent yet, as im a lazy son of a b*itch.

Arcanum · « **Reply #33 on:** January 28, 2004, 12:46:52 pm »

How about the ship in your sig,

made into a destroyer?
an Exclesior Saladin if you will . .

roll bar on the saucer "check"
single nacelle . . . .

for a new exclesior style heavy destroyer?
That would be one I would love to see and she would be fine addition to the Fleet!

/cheers

Captain Ron · « **Reply #34 on:** January 28, 2004, 09:52:07 pm »

Requests huh?!?

ok here is mine release date?

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #35 on:** January 28, 2004, 10:07:54 pm »

Okay, heres the deal

Not all the varients i have planned are done and next to none of them are hardpointed. It may be a week or two before they get released

DonKarnage · « **Reply #36 on:** January 29, 2004, 08:48:34 am »

here other variant that could be cool: the akula class destroyer, the baker class, the loknar, the northampton, the chandley, the endor, the end

Just to make sure you guys dont think ive forgotten about these

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #42 on:** February 06, 2004, 03:05:56 am »

I have a request Sir,
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE PLEASE could you make this model?

NEXUS CLASS-Cruiser
Launch Date:2361
To replace the aging Miranda Class.

Notice the weapon turrets .....

Closer view of the aft weapon turrets

This view shows the Tachyon grid (the wing-like structures on either side of the sensor tower)

The Tachyon Grid enables the Nexus Class to track a cloaked ship in a technique,that was first employed in 2368,required the coordinated effort of 20 Federation ships

And a Mega-Phaser

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE.....Ya did ask

Captain Ron · « **Reply #43 on:** February 06, 2004, 05:18:13 am »

Interesting ship but...

Why would you put turrets on it if you have Phaser Rings that would be more effective?

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2004, 05:47:04 am »

The turret guns represent the anti missile / fighter phasers.

.They don't have to be there I guess but heck why not?

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #46 on:** February 06, 2004, 02:03:30 pm »

Thank you sir,

If they have anything to be critical of it should be why Worf can hit a damn thing. Hell he needs all the help he can get.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #52 on:** February 11, 2004, 06:28:17 pm »

Update. All the varients have been made. Now its just a matter of Hardpointing them (in my opinion, its the dullets part) and making the Break Textures.

Current Varients on most ships are as follows

Original -original excelsior parts used
+ - rollbar
2 - ENt-B parts used
2+ - Ent-B parts used, Rollbar
C - secondary impulse engines replaced with carrierbays.
H - More than one torpedo pod added. a bit more rare

Let me know if other varients should be added.

starforce2 · « **Reply #54 on:** February 11, 2004, 09:14:13 pm »

concerning that nebula variant, I would replace those starfleet museum looking guns with modern looking phaser canons that look like mini-galx canons. As for those rear ones, why not just a dome shaped emitter? Honestly the whole pod looks more like a a tng soyuz than a miranda that filles a role the nebula already has and looks no more advanced. If it's going to be a miranda it should have an akira quantum pod and a pair of phaser cannons. Get rid of that scientific crap. Surley a high tech mod like that would be put on a heavyier ship such as a neb anyways.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #55 on:** February 13, 2004, 05:19:33 am »

I like the mini galx gun idea and the dual mega phaser idea as well.But think of it this way,the price of building a small heavily armed,cloak detecting ship vs the massive expense and building time for a Neb.But I do see your reasoning.And besides I have this one......

ODIN CLASS Light cruiser

Mission adjustable pods Sensor and Multi Torps

I like to think of them as Lost Era or early TNG ships.If I could make models or even kitbash I'd already have them in my fleet.
But I can't so I ask nicely and hope one of you great modders will hook me up someday.

ModelsPlease@aol.com

starforce2 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 13, 2004, 05:26:34 am »

lol...it's a baby nebula.

So modelsplease, have you seen the gagarn by sbloyd? It's an old, low res but fairly good looking model of a mini-nebula with a weapon pod, but it's got black armor textures.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #57 on:** February 13, 2004, 05:44:27 am »

Basically it is I guess.It's an EntB saucer/secondary hull combo with TNG style narcells.And yes Sir I have Sbloyds Gagarin and Tolstoy models as well I think they're pretty cool.Thank you for suggesting them,it is much appreciated Starforce2.

He lost his high speed connection and doesn't want to upload by 56 k modem that disconnects allot.

i did a thesues model for my own fun, used the reliant photon pod instead of what came with the model, if i get a chance i can put some pics of it up if you want.
I really need to find the time to uplod the models i have done.....

yeaterk · « **Reply #66 on:** April 07, 2004, 02:43:46 pm »

okay took the time away from figureing out why one of of my compters keeps rebooting(thanks god not the main one, but the one with the cd burner.... sighs) to upload some pics of what i have been working one, minus what i am doing for myself anyway. Any comments as good or bad let me know, a couple of them are basicly done, a couple are about halfway done.

yeaterk · « **Reply #68 on:** April 08, 2004, 11:28:49 am »

Thank you for your reponse on the models, i thought the jtk and the ancom would also fit into the lost era also. The models where made by Kreeargh so i cant take credit for them two, i do agree with you on the nacels also, i have never really liked them, but cant do much else with them the way the meshes are maid. I did do a test one with some differnt warp engines on it that i thought made a big differnce to the model. I have also toned down the glows on the model vs what pictures i have of them in game, i need to take new screen shots in game and up date those pictures.

The laxson, starslayer, and the soruun are mind blips ships btw. i found them on his web page and i liked them, and got his okay to retexture them. still have some work to do on a couple of them.

The stargazar not sure if i am going to relase, there are lot of differnt models of that one out there that came out when i was working on it. The drone ship is done, would have to just do a couple little things to upload it to the web

If IF things go good i hope to upload a couple models this weekend not sure where yet, looking at a couple differnt places right now. Thank you agin for your response.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #69 on:** April 09, 2004, 03:16:17 am »

Since these ships are finally coming to life I thought it would help to have the pictures available on page 1. Bump!
