Topic: Anyone know where I can find TMP version of this Fed BB?

[Centurus]

Yes, the TMP version from KA/SFC was the original that the above TOS 'pre-fit' was based on. There's also an Excelsior style one, covered in phaser banks, a half dozen engines, and other ridiculous fan-boy inspired details that someone made a few years ago. Outside of the FASA designs and various kitbashes, that's one of the ugliest, most anti-traditional Federation ships I've ever seen and all knowledge of it's existence should be wiped from the galaxy.

Heh, in case anyone hasn't figured it out by now, there's an extremely slim to nonexistent chance I'll ever build a Wickedized Yamato class - the Mars and Missouri are cutting it close to the ugly scale as it is.

If I've offended anyone in anyway by my blatant comments regarding ship design and aesthetics, I'm not apologizing because, well, I just don't give a damn.

Well, personally WZ, I rather love the Mars design, at least the first one you did.  The second one looks more streamlined and has better textures, I'll give you that, but kinda looks a bit like a hybrid Connie/Excelsior, but it's a great ship nonetheless.  As for the Missouri, where can I get it?  Hope you don't mind me asking.

  WZ45's version is still a WIP. IIRC, he wasn't liking the textures on his ship for some reason.

Moonraker's website as hosted/cared for by WZ45 appears to be down at the moment. However, Moonraker's version of the Missouri is available as a SFC3 file renamed to:

I *think* Khaliban did a kitbash variant too but the location of that escapes me at the moment.

I've been using the Missouri as an FBBV in Firesouls latest OP+ shiplist.

BTW: Joker made a TNG version of the Missouri and it can be found here:

I never said I didn't do TNG ships, what I've stated in the past though is that I don't do requests (especially the ugly ships), and their are very few exceptions to that. Dizzy has a point, I don't really give a damn what anyone else thinks/wants when it comes to my ships. Everyone has an opinion and I have no interest in catering to everyone's viewpoints. That's the best advice I can give anyone around here - ignore everyone else and do what you want.

It's not that I don't like TNG ships, I just don't like building and texturing them. There's a lot more time and attention required for them and for the most part, I don't see much reason to bother with the things. TMP designs have a certain style and feel to them, whereas the TNG ships are flashy, generic, material objects. Bodies without a soul, so to speak.

The textures for my Missouri are indeed quite lame and I haven't gotten around to redoing the ship yet. I'll probably end up rebuilding the whole thing if my previous ships are any indication.

This thread has skewed way off course (yes, partly my fault). I'm fairly familiar with most of the ships released, and as far as I know, there isn't a non-Excelsior version of the Yamato. There are plenty of variants and Yamato inspired versions, obviously, but I haven't seen a detailed replica of the original.

Well, I will have to either use Fury's Jupiter or the Yamamoto.

I always wondered... When exactly does TMP ships begin to roll out as far as the Dyna shiplist is concerned? Is it in 2265 when the CC+ comes out or 2275 when the FCB comes out?

I'd kinda like to see TMP ships trickle in around 2270 and afterwards. Most servers start now in 2267. FS's shiplist will have completely phased out TOS ships by then. It's a shame cuz there are so many wonderful TOS designs.

It's conceivable that in 2275, the FBB TOS design has, after years of construction, finally been completed. Sounds reasonable that the FBB's keel was laid in response to the Klingons KB10 which was rumored to have been under contruction for some time in 2265 and finally entered service in 2273. Therefore, at the time tried and true TOS tech was used and in 2275 out popped the FBB with TOS look...

Oh well. If TOS designs were to phase in starting in 2270 with the introduction of the FNCL, then that would be great. FS would have to change a cpl of model folders around, the CC+ in 2265 has the same folder as the FCB in 2275. But we'd get to see TOS designs in action for a little bit b4 they all go away... ::sniff::

Personnaly WZ Id love to see you create a TNG style ship!!!! 

Your TOS are next to none BRILLIANT.... It would be interesting to see your style of modeling in TNG... 

We wait patiently for somthing to catch your eye sir.

First off to agree with WZ the topic has gone wrong... terribly, terribly wrong 
Sencond, the fed BB in SFC1,SFC-EAW and SFC-OP is a TMP version.  It just has poor textures and is a low poly mod.  I know in SFC Universe there is a FBB Yamato Class that has slighty better textures.  Not great but alittle better than the original.
Third, the Excelsior BB has been done and I am so sorry but I don't remember by whom but it came in a mod set with a whole bunch of Excelsior varients.  But hey, that's a good looking ship you got there.
Fourth, about my comments on the Japanese and about the names of ship/classes.  I whole heartedly agree that new names of ship and ship classes and I am sorry if they were taken out of context.  Also when I get a really cool ship that has a name that I don't like I change it.  Heck isn't that what photo-shop is for?
Fifth on the weekend of the 3rd anniversary of the 9-11 attacks I would ask that you not hug your kids or call a family member, but greet a stranger and make friend.  If you wonder why 11 stangers on United Airlines #93 banned together and did something more noble than my words can say.

the Excelsior Yamato-ish BB was done by me...Its called the Jupiter.

[E_Look]

To Wicked Zombie, etc.

Just nosy, what would YOUR idea of a good looking Starfleet F-BB look like, regardless of era?

I also tend to agree, that so far, the Fed BB designs don't have that "look" that their smaller ships have.

Personally, I'd think that having a bunch of engines hanging off all over the hull doesn't look good on Starfleet or Klingon designs.

Besides the ones talked about on this thread, what (unbuilt) F-BB designs (again, it could be preTOS, TOS, TMP, TNG) are out there that are different from the ones we know about already?

And how did the brk mod go? I heard you were pulling the pack of mods due to some lighting and brk mods were missing.
Damn fine work though.

[FoaS_XC]

It was done and sent to nightsoft, but since its dead...

Ill see about putting it onto SFC3Files.

Catch me on MSN or AIM and i can likewise supply you.

If WZ does do one, hopefully the model would match somewhat the SFC specs of the design. Was there ever any sfb specs of one?

Yeah, I thought DD posted more pics of the one I credited you for and showed above. Fury, let DD host it or get that pack over to sfc3files pronto! I already have it tho. And again, nice job.

Apparently my version of this should be bumped up a bit priority-wise..

I'll see if I can't get re-working on it again in the next few days..
