Oh, and what warp engines you plan to use? The shorter Reliant class or the larger Connie class? Or something new?

Say what dude? shorter Reliant engines? Both the Enterprise/Constitution-II class and the Miranda class use the standard TMP era engines - the LN-64.

The only difference between the two in visual terms is that the Enterprise class nacelles have an aditional bulge on the underside which seems to be a kind of physical shielding for the join with the pylons - it is missing on the Miranda as the pylons come from the top same as the Chandley.

The ship totally rocks dude, unfortunately I cannot see any of the pics 13 to 19 as my uni server has the most ridiculous firewall to block p0rn that even the word itself or words like 'girl' or 'teen' will set it off - I probably wont be able to see this thread after typing that but anyway - love the new mesh and I agree you should put something around the torpedos as they do kinda look stuck-on after they'd finished the ship. even just a bit of texturing would be great.

Or a mesh indentation around the torp?

Hey, i always thought the reliant engines were a bit smaller, perhaps because of the way the some of the models are scaled in the game. My bad. Didnt know.

EDIT: Oh and TVL, the reason you couldnt see pics 15-19 was because of the naked teen porn pics Desting painted on the hull... LOL, he wont be able to read this post either... hehe.

In answer to you both (Vampire and Dizzy) there will be a clear demarcation on the hull texturing with the grid going around the photorps (same with the docking collars). As for warp nacelles, standard Connie ones minus the "control reactor" from underneath. I may use some or your F-CAD textures Dizzy on one of the variants but for now I need to map out some textures. I think this mesh has been tweaked sufficiently now unless there any further suggestions. I plan to release a "stock" Chandley plus a variant or two with a different texture/model configurations. Any ideas for ship names??? Aside from Blackhawk, Monson, Blackheart and possibly Fife...

You out do yourself Destiny.

Ok... names... How about the 'Destiny'?

Wow man!! You've really risen to the challenge on this one. This is the first Chandley model I've liked. WTG!!

Hey I work slow... BUT now that I've finished faffing around with where to put stuff I can get going with the texturing.. Three more WIPs to keep on with. Firstly I have decided to change the rear photorp arrangment into two single launchers and not the twin one I had before, this was because realistically there's insufficient space in that area of the ship for a twin launcher what with engineering and so on. Second, I have added a section underneath the saucer to give it a more "supported" look and installed a VLS (which is useless in the game but a good idea anyway).... Again since this area is largely a mystery I have interpretted it the way I think it would be...

Enjoy!!

WAY cool. Nice rejob on the rea photon tubes. Very "dont mess with me" look. Likes it.

Shall we send a rescue party or is this the USS Blackheart mysteriously MIA.....

"On Stardate 2/2005, one of the most decorated frigates in Star Fleet, the USS Blackheart (NCC 2327), was reported missing while patrolling the Rimward Sector. A search was made, but all that was found was a communications buoy apparently discharged by the Blackheart. This buoy had only the partial message "...small object paralleling our course...no response on hailing freq..." The remainder of the tape was garbled, and portions had been intentionally erased. Star Fleet has no more information on the fate of the ship or its crew. The Blackheart is most remembered for the large black hearts painted on each of its lower wing assemblies; such painting is typical of Chandley Class ships, making them easily distinguished on visual scan. The practice is thought to keep the crew's pride in their vessel at a peak."

Qapla!

I've started doing the textures but no new WIP's yet... Maybe tomorrow... I think I'm waiting to see if anyone considers this project worthy enough to throw some stars at it....

This is a 5 star post to me

DestinyCalling · « **Reply #72 on:** February 18, 2004, 07:48:55 pm »

oooh some stars... cool... Not much further to report. All the textures are mapped out on the aux hull and I even found somewhere to put the "Space-Energy Field Attraction Sensors" though I opted for two and not the three seen on Connies and Mirandas due to the rather non scientific mission profile of the Chandley.... Still in two minds about fitting WADE deflectors on the leading edge of the primary hull though... No new pics today but I may (stress MAY) have this finished by next week...

Considering how slow I work it doesn't seem prudent announcing further projects but I may do an "X Technology" upgrade release plus I have considered releasing the class vessel (USS Chandley) kitted out "Phase II" style... Just a thought mind you...

Great work Destinycalling looking forward to seeing the final results.

Any news? Terradyne has a Klingon destroyer I want to play this against, LOL.

Ok, yet another quick update... Basic texture mapping is done so I will start on the details which (hopefully) shouldn't take too long... The WIPs here are to give a general idea of eventual appearence, which is a polite way of saying that I'm aware of photorp surround. That said, the pylons and lower engineering (between pylon supports) are as they'll be... probably. I haven't yet done the lower primary hull or assigned textures to the "Space Sensor doofers" but that will be done in time... PLUS, Isn't odd how smoothing groups change from day to day......

I told you I worked slow....

Another update mid-week and I'm working toward a weekend release (woo-hoo)...

Oh, any suggestions on pennant placement???

"Many Klingons & Rommies will know what it's like to be roasted in the depths of the Chandley on that day, I can tell you."
Don't know why that popped into my head just now...
