Thanx!

I'll be working on her tonight after work...I hate retail. Anyway, any suggestions on the RGB settings to get a more tan color? Everything I've tried is either too yellow or too gold. Thanx for any suggestions.

Lance, do you have a drawing of the underside? I have some ideas for it, but would be easier to keep it too your specs with a guide. If not, that's cool. Should there be a large hatch on the bottom where the manipulator arm is? One idea I had anyway.

Try this color setting: R165 G118 B5

As for the underside, try this:
-below the bridge dome on the underside, have a matching "round" disc shaped area, sorta like the area on the bottom of the Defiant. This could be the bottom of the computer core, an secondary shuttle bay (like the Defiant), a sensor area (like the Enterprise-A), or an "iris" cargo bay hatch (like on the bottom of the Galaxy and Intrepid saucers).
-a large hatch, similar to the lateral cargo doors, makes sense.
-around the large fuel/repair/manipulator arm/waldo, perhaps have some senseless yet pratical "greebies", little divets, domes, pipies, just assorted "engineering" looking stuff that would be on a tender. Not to much, though, starfleet ships are always pretty smooth. This of the Runabout's hull cutouts for inspiration.
-perhaps some conveniently located hatches for EVA work and Bee deployment.
-perhaps some escape pods
-a few sensor implacements, like on the Nova Class?

None of the above matters to much, feel free to use whatever suggestions you like. I trust your instincts, my good man. Please be sure to credit all your hard work in the readme. ;-)

Thanx for the RGB.

Good ideas, and I have a few picked.

Here's a few more shots...basically just need to map and do the nacelles and she'll be done, pending yakaspats approval of course. Let me know what you think.

atheorhaven · « **Reply #24 on:** April 11, 2004, 10:30:53 pm »

So I thought that you said that you couldn't texture?

That's looking awesome.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2004, 08:16:03 am »

She's lookin' good!

sandman69247 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 12, 2004, 12:13:50 pm »

Thanx!!

I hope to have the rest done later tonight, or tomorrow...woke up with a migraine and hoping to get rid of it soon.

Wolfsglen · « **Reply #28 on:** April 12, 2004, 12:17:17 pm »

That looks superb, very nice work.

And i wish i could texture as good as you do, so no worries there

yakaspat · « **Reply #30 on:** April 13, 2004, 12:09:26 am »

Beautiful! I love it!

I would add just a few more little mindless hatches, ports, exhaust vents, "util greebies", perhaps a few phaser strips, and she's complete!

Thanks allot man! Please email her to:

yakaspat@hotmail.com

when she is complete. ;-)

sandman69247 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 13, 2004, 12:39:48 am »

For the whole thing, or just the bottom? I was planning on adding a couple of those yellow and black outlined, square hatches.

Also, what do you think about some exhaust vents on the corners? I can do it, then post oics and if you don't like the way it looks take 'em off.

This is really fun...she's coming together nicely.

It's one thing to a 3,4 or 5 view schematic, but to see it in 3d, and get the oportunity to move it around and see it in every angle, it's making it come alive.It really seems to fit the role you envisioned for it...A workhorse ship, ready and able to get the job done.

You know, you and Azel should team up on something...I bet you both could come up with some awesome shi'ite.

yakaspat · « **Reply #32 on:** April 13, 2004, 01:20:48 am »

Dude,

She certainly is coming together. Perhaps she should only have four phaser strips, two forward, two aft, with the forward one's between the "nose" and the forward set of cargo/repair bay doors, and then two behind the aft cargo/repair bay doors, between them and the impulse exhaust.

I would say the sides can use "some" greebies, hatches, ports, and other meaningless details, but not too many. The tops and sides should have more. Here are a few ASDB samples of a "detailed" util type ship:

I think our ship is just about complete, I love the escape hatches, the graphics, the sensor dome, and how perfectly you recreated the model shape. If you like the Fabrux, check out my other ship designs:

Oh, and, those vents would be cool with me.

pats sansman on the head nice nice nice job man the ship is looking great

sandman69247 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 13, 2004, 01:21:31 pm »

OUCH!! DM, those Borg implants hurt when tapping a poor human head...I think I have a concussion.

Working the final touches today...noticed I forgot to do the windows on the bridge module, corrected that, also replaced the nacelles to more accurately reflect the design.

I'll be posting more pics this afternoon, hopefully she'll be just about done. Lance, do you want me to do the full SFC ready mod pkge, with hp/dp and a break mod, or just the model itself for your collection?

I was thinking last night, this would make a good assault ship conversion during the Dominion war...small, relatively fast and a lot of bays for rapid deployment.

This design has a lot of possibilities besides a tender.

yakaspat · « **Reply #36 on:** April 13, 2004, 01:33:53 pm »

Sandman,

Cool, I'm more than satisfied with the design, please email me the file when complete. All I really need is the .MOD and textures, the hardpoints maps and so forth are not necessary.

As for the assault variant, I suppose that could have been possible considering that Starfleet was getting their *sses kicked and were prolly adding weapon mounts to everything but the kitchen sinks! Feel free to create whatever variants and/or mods you wish.

Great job, man. -Lance

Any guestimate on a release date for this ship sirs? Great job !!!!!

yakaspat · « **Reply #38 on:** April 14, 2004, 01:28:27 pm »

As soon as our noble artist has completed it, I suppose.

sandman69247 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 15, 2004, 05:29:44 pm »

Sorry for the delay, had to give my eyes a rest...evrytime I tried to do anything, I got a splitting headache.

Going to try again after work, hopefully I'll be able to get it done.

I'll post again tonight, regardless.
