Topic: SFB-style Klingon C5 and C8/C9

[FireSoul]

Someone lately asked me "can you make me a Klingon Dreadnought as sweet as that Fed DN you just released?". .. "..uh.. "

I spent some time thinking about it.. and this is what I came up with:


Klingon C8/C9 Dreadnought:  http://klingon.stasis.ca/models/klingon/fs_kdn.zip







This model is based on the C5 and D7 models made by Atrahasis and Moonraker. You'll notice that I've placed the center warp on the boom section as per SFB.



ALSO!


Since I placed the center warp on the boom for the above model, I just had to tweak the C5 we currently have to do the same:

Enjoy, Warriors!

PS. Now I just have to find some Romulan textures to have the Kestrel version of the DN..

Nicely done Firesoul! D/l now....

Qapla!

P. S. why not use Atrahasis' V-11 Stormbird textures or the ones on the Stormking at SFC3 Files?

Romulan K9R Kestrel Dreadnought:  http://klingon.stasis.ca/models/romulan/fs_rkdn.zip





The textures applied are those found with Atra's KCR. They work quite nicely. I had to touch-up the .mod a bit for the mountpoints and to make some textures fit, but otherwise it was a piece of cake.

  I must have posted just as you did. LOL

The placement of the warp engines makes sense.

Most Klingon ships with a boom is capable of separating the rear hull and the boom in a case of emergency (usually mutinies caused by fallow/slave races). The officers can detach and sometimes escape from a dangerous situation to fight another day.

In the case of the C8/C9, the boom has the 3rd warp engine and can actually go up to speed 30 if all boxes are intact (movement cost 1/2, 15 warps). It's like having a little destroyer.

Romulan Kestrel ships do not have this ship separation ability. All warps were changed to AWRs and all impulse engines to APR.

Hey Firesoul,

Following the success of the K'teremny and VoDleH warship programs...

Look at what I did using WZ45's VoDleH textures:



Now the question of the day is.. Are you willing to add some additional lighting to the warp engines so these new textures can light up? Please.  I'd only need the lit *.mod file not the whole shebang and I'd get these hosted when ready.

The C-7 is a WIP and the kdn is done.

I'm kind of going for a uniform "black fleet" , LOL...

KF


P. S. if you can light up stuff how about taking a crack at Atrahasis' Regula One? I can send her to you if you don't have her, she doesn't fall apart as a model if you go out beyond range 20 like Moonraker's version does.

[FireSoul]

I see that the warp texture does not have an equivalent illumination texture to accompany it. If you have such an illumination texture, I can apply it.

However, please note that I am just trying to have better models for OP+. I've already moved on to other corrections and tasks that need to be done.

I understand Firesoul.

I know you are busy.

The file with the new textures will be about 2MB when all is said and done. Mind if anybody else lights up your kitbash?

[FireSoul]

I don't mind one bit. Just put me in the credits as usual.

Nicely done Firesoul sir,welcome additions to my ever growing fleet.Thank you.

Kickass, I cant find anything to criticize  Thank you muchly.

[zerosnark]

Very, very cool.   

[Fluf]

Good work FS!

Know if you can just find a Klink that would fly a C5 or C9 in a dyna you will be all set! 

[FVA_C_ Blade_ XC]

Nice work FS!

[Magnum357]

I never could understand why SFB rules never allowed their Romulan conterparts too have seperation ability.  Was it ever explained anywhere in SFB rules why the Romulan Kestral ships didn't have the ability?

Oh, and nice work Firesoul.   

[Max Power]

Sounds like something for the "ask Why?" thread on ADB's boards.

[Captain Pierce]

Well, I don't know from SFB, but the separation thing doesn't really fit that TOS Romulan ethos of blowing up your ship rather than be captured... 

[Crusader]

Firesoul,

Are you adding these latest models into the latest OP+ 3.3 or will they be included in a future release?  Just wondering if I should download these models separately or just wait for the next OP+ release.

Great work.

Great work.

I intend to do this for a future release. However, nothing stops you from integrating them in your current install of OP+ 3.3 and replace the models yourself.
