Dang nice work !

Thanks to you, THU11's, I have actually started playing more Lyran missions. The ships now have the great looks to go with the great weapons.

Chrystoff · « **Reply #4 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:58:43 am »

I wonder: Do the Lyrans have an Intelligence Section? I could just see a small fleet of ships with Black Panther textures...hmmmm...

The_Infiltrator · « **Reply #5 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:14:13 am »

Sounds like an idea for a scout ship to me.

Chrystoff · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:52:13 am »

A great idea as well!

Rhaz · « **Reply #7 on:** June 15, 2004, 10:06:02 am »

I can't wait!!

Marauth · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2004, 10:49:15 am »

Well there in SFB the Lyrans had different coloured ships for different fleets, the Red Claw duchy (which is the crest Thu11s has chosen) had sand coloured hulls, the Enemy's Blood duchy had dark grey hulls, on the Hydran border I believe. The homeworld fleet, foremost fleet, and Apex fleet had pelt designs similar to these. While the Far Stars duchy had dark brown ships with the exception of two of it's counties, Dark Storm who's ships had blue and grey striped hulls and the Nioght Star fleet who's ships were jet black, they were the outermost exploration fleets so I suppose no one cared if they painted their ships weird colours. It might be cool to see the Night Star fleet with those black panther pelts.

I'm now starting a petition for the Dark Storm's blue/black tiger stripe ships...

WHO'S WITH ME!!!

Please, Thu11... PLEASE!!!

Kaenyne · « **Reply #10 on:** June 15, 2004, 11:05:08 am »

Twisted my arm.

I'm all for it.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #11 on:** June 15, 2004, 11:29:12 am »

Somebody here can retexture them as requested I'm sure. The important thing is that Thulls release this and the rest of the Lyran fleet he's working on LOL.

Qapla!

Well said, KF! THU11's, take as much time as you need. I was just venting an idea, is all. Seeing Lyran ships as beautiful as yours, I couldn't resist speculating.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #13 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:15:30 pm »

Hey, it just means he's in demand!

J. Carney · « **Reply #14 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:27:13 pm »

Yeah, I wasn't trying to come off as demanding (well,maybe a little... so sue me!). I just wanted to see a different paint job if he had time after he got done with all the ships.

Thu11 is BY FAR the best TMP-era SFB-style model maker out there- his quality and diversity shows that; how many other modelers have completely redone the Western Races... and then turn around and start re-doing the re-dos?

I'm just wondering what the Dark Storm's ships would look like. If I could get my hands on Photoshop, I'd start trying it myself... but I can't afford it.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2004, 12:32:18 pm »

Don't think anyone thought you were being demanding, just excited is all. And I too think Thu11s' stuff is grand. His take on the Hydrans are among my favs!

Carney, this PDF show's the colour-schemes of the 21 Lyran Counties excluding the one that left to become the LDR obviously. The Dark Storm pattern would be quite a challenge to implement as it has to match going from section to section of the ship and if you just applied a series of stripes across the texture there will be major mapping differences and the pattern wont match up. I'm not trying to disuade you from trying, far from it I'd love to see the Dark Storm County fleet but just giving warning of the difficulty.

Oh BTW if you have Paint Shop Pro version 8 then you can open PSD files with it.

Thu11s · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2004, 03:34:46 pm »

You all mean summint like this??

But like Marauth said, lining the stripes is gonna be hassle

Can't help shake the feeling it need a blue flashy light on top though....

Thu11s

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2004, 04:00:01 pm »

Yeah, don't you hate lining up stripes like that? Maybe you should do some Hydrans next!

J. Carney · « **Reply #20 on:** June 15, 2004, 04:23:06 pm »

Blast you Thu11... you keep makin me drool on this keyboard, I'm gonna ruin it!

Looks GREAT, man... absolutely wow.

Thanks...

Marauth · « **Reply #21 on:** June 15, 2004, 06:02:48 pm »

Holy shiiiiiiiiiite that looks good. Not sure about keeping the Tiger pelt on it, kinda looks odd as it doesn't blend in with the blue and grey, still very nice variant anyways.

Marauth · « **Reply #23 on:** June 15, 2004, 06:14:17 pm »

Please pursue it, but they don't all have to have the unique stripes for each class, maybe these 'unique' fleets paint their ships completely this way, like the Night Star fleet ships would be completely black, or very dark grey/brown. while these are just the blue/grey stripe pattern.

Mr. Hypergol · « **Reply #24 on:** June 15, 2004, 11:05:17 pm »

Thu11,

Just curious...are you planning to make a Romulan Seahawk Frigate model eventually? I love the Skyhawk model by the way.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #25 on:** June 16, 2004, 08:17:48 am »

I think we got some neat things waiting for us.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #26 on:** June 16, 2004, 11:43:45 am »

BUMP to the top.

This should not be on page 2.

Thulls I like the new signature of yours with this new LDD

Really cool.

Please release her soon.

KF

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #27 on:** June 17, 2004, 11:32:37 am »

BUMP from page 3.

I really want this LDD for the War of the Roses skirmish....

Let's keep this at the top folks.

KF

Marauth · « **Reply #28 on:** June 17, 2004, 11:35:35 am »

And I really want it so I can start messing with it and mutilate it LOL.

Seriously though, yeah, BUMP.

Thu11s · « **Reply #29 on:** June 17, 2004, 12:03:12 pm »

And I really want it cos..... oh no, wait, I've got it

Hopefully up within the hour, building the page as I type, well not litterary, but you get the idea

Shocking, 1 hour and 4 mins later, the Leopard is ready to depart from the Feral Yards

Desty_Nova · « **Reply #31 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:10:55 pm »

Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Marauth · « **Reply #32 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:14:44 pm »

Waahoo! fantastic, BTW Thu11s I've got the LDR Cheetah up and running, looks pretty cool, though the tiled pattern I used is starting to show up a tiny bit on the small ship, shall I send the textures to you?

Marauth · « **Reply #34 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:21:40 pm »

Cool, one tiny request while I'm at it, can I get ahold of the PSD for the Leopard so I can start on converting that aswell?

Thu11s · « **Reply #35 on:** June 17, 2004, 01:24:29 pm »

I suppose so

Thu11s

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #36 on:** June 17, 2004, 02:41:30 pm »

Thank you Thulls!

Trimarans? Three sub-hulled ships?

More stuff to look forward to...

KF

Marauth · « **Reply #37 on:** June 17, 2004, 04:07:28 pm »

BTW Thu11s, I recall a rather cool design for a Lyran BBH that involved placing 2 centre sections in between the Tiger hulls making a quadramaran? Anyway, it reminded me of Thu11s old alternative Battleship. I found it on the site where you found that SSD for a Lyran X-ship.
