Very nice models.  I like the Oriskany-based Space Control Ship.

I can't wait to d//l them all!

BTW are you using my Oriskany for the secondary hull? I modified the textures to fit properly and such, can't tell from that pic if it's my one or not, but the textures seem to fit, I was called The Vampire Lestat when I made it...

i made a kitbash for a gsc but it need some tuning, i hade a sensor dish and the bard (mega phaser and torpedo) from a miranda class but the sensor pod is a little on the way and if i place it on the segondary hull it will be in the way of the other torpedo tube, and i have a few other ship that need a break model and to be show to every one. and i made a spacial klingon D7 with the roll bar (mega phaser and torpedo tube), look cool its adding firepower to a klingon ship

I believe it is, ive only ever found one Oriskany so it must be yours hehe. Its just an experiment currently so i can learn a few mesh tweaks and practise them, i dont have any actual plans to finish it and no intention of releasing it at all, but thought id show it with the 'Dreads as it was similar design, and might influence something from others.

I was planning on learning to kitbash on this particular model as it is compatible with P81's Hatfield DN



So, there is a chance you might be bashing a new Hatfield? That would be great!!    




I was considering using the Hatfield to make the Ascension a better model. The Hatfield I have of P81's has the necessary parts and textures for that purpose. Perhaps it could be a base vessel for a DNL refit. Then use Wolfsglen's as a plus verion. There is no F-DNL+ but one could always make one for that purpose by creating reasonable specifications (eg. drone loads or shield upgrade) to distinguish between the two models. It's all fair game when trying to make the game a little more fun.

Please do still try, my skills are still pretty non-existent and limited purely to kitbashing as i learn my way around Max and what it can do, so its very likely you will improve on what i do, plus we need all the choices and interpretations we can get!




I dunno. For a man with   no skills      those look pretty friggin' good. Shoot, I'd like would like to be able to do what you are doing right now. Milkshape is an option but I am trying to locate a dated copy of Max to buy. If I can ebay that for $100 or less then that seems to me to be the better choice. I doubt if I want to learn both programs but if I can't snag a copy of 3DsMax 4 or 5 them it looks like Milksape for me. I have Photoshop and PSP but don't realy know how to use them well enough to make a texture worth a flip. My  main ambition is to learn to kitbash well. I consider someone like Wicked Zombie and how long he's been doing this and the amount of time and effort it took for him to get where he is. By the time I could do something anywhare near that quality this forum will probably be but a memory. That's what I think, anyway.

Sorry for being long winded and diverting the topic here. Namely those u-bangy kitbashes your'e doing. Looking forward to them as they look to be way cool.

Now that you mention it those pics do sort of remind me of ADB's new version of the F-SCS. The mini looks hideous, being just the old flatbed CVA with a connie style dorsal separating the saucer from the sec-hull and a third nacelle plonked on top Federation class style. The Oriskany is a much better base to build from in this case as the secondary hull is not so disproportionate to the saucer.

If you guys are interested, i will work on that SCS-based design after i finish the Dreads, i wasnt serious about finishing it before, but i will work on it if i have Marauth's permission for the Oriskany parts.

Hey Wolfsglen, can you try your hand at the Entente-Class (aka Federation refit) from Brad's SSTCSMUA? It seems to share more in common with it's predecessor than the P81 Star League, which always had a badly formed hull IMO.

http://www.sub-odeon.com/stsstcsmua/federation/federation_refit.html

But, there's also another minor request. Is it possible for you to "graft" the saucer of Lord Schtupp's Federation onto the Entente once she's done and refit it? Although the Enterprise saucer was larger than the Conny's, the original Federation had a much larger saucer than either! It does not make sense for such a vital conponent to be downsized, because they would then lose much space for weapons.




I'll second everything there except that awful aft deflector on the SSTCSMUA Entente.    Those guys need to take a closer look at the hallowed FJTM, and note that the "radar dish" on the Federation is identified as the main sensor dish and the navigational deflectors are smaller things that only show up on the front view.    Hmm, might be time for another email to Brad--maybe I can get on another page over there...

Also, are you interested in making the Coeur De Lion on John Payne's site? It's the perfect TMP battleship, better than the Excelsior even!

mmmm, megaphasers  




Looks like an odd version of the old 4-nacelled Excelsior concepts from STIII...

*Looks up from M6 with fevered expression* What? Oh yeah you can use those Oriskany parts, little do you know it's now my 'old' Oriskany and a new better version exists Mwuhahahaha! Erm, whoops, shouldn've said that *returns to M6*

I wouldn't worry too much as it uses Wicked Zombi's parts which are arguably for high-end machines, I've got several ships that I'm sitting on ATM.

The Alexander class is my favorite FDN. DarkMatrix did a great job with it overall. This is the second version he made.

IIRC the problem with the TMP USS Federation (not P81's 'custom' Federation or his take on Franz Joseph's USS Star League) and USS Ascension  was that the third warp engine strut was not 100% accurate, the neck structure supporting the warp pylon was too small compared to the diagram. [See Ascension or Federation listing at www.shipschematics.net]

Now, if we can get the retextured USS Churchill's LOD textures to MATCH in game when veiwed from a distance I'll be very happy with my  Federation fleet. That is available at:

http://www.the-tcs.net/dldir/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=141

BTW: I've never thought of the Churchill as a carrier, I have always thought of it as the replacement class for the Excelsior as a result of the political fallout over the failed Transwarp drive... I digress about my alternate Trek Universe...

Now the Holy grail for us non-federation fans is getting Thulls' Romulan Sparrowhawk and Captain KoraH's Neutral Zone Cormorant [think STOCK OP RBC with Thulls Romulan engines] with Ganymad's Romulan textures on them. Its beyond me as I've been trying for months, LOL.

Qapla!
