Models redone, TMP Feds currently in use.
« on: December 05, 2004, 07:10:07 pm »
As part of some work I wanted to do for the next OP+, I have redone some of the Federation TMP models to match the rest of the models I have included in the models pack of mine. I have held onto these for a few of weeks now, playing with them during GeneralWar4 and recently redoing the FCFS model.
Here they are:


Federation Frigate, FFF,  NCC-329 USS Villeneuve:
This little ship was redone, based on the popular Burke-class frigate.

Oh, a little story before we go on: why USS Villeneuve? .. well.
.. I have a real-life friend. His surname is Villeneuve. We'll call him LV for short. LV's an SFB player who only makes rare online appearances online (from my home usually) as "FlameHawk". He's a longtime Romulan pilot and fan and is always saying things like "Fed sucks!" or "Fed ships are all ugly!". I just could NOT resist putting his name on a lowly Federation frigate when I saw it as listed in the official ADB's list of SFB names for ships, a FFG in this case.
Ironic, is it not?  ;D

Federation Battle Frigate, FFFB,  NCC-471 USS Marko Ramius:

Based on a FF, this ship was a contender for the War Destroyer (DW) class ships. It is still encountered on the battlefield but is not as versatile as the DW for variants.






Federation Destroyer, FDD,  NCC-505 USS Xerxes:

What? Another Fed DD? Why?
It didn't match the rest of the fleet. MAKING it match made my installer smaller because of common components to the rest of the Fed fleet I use. But uhh.. you really wanna know why I like it best? It's got a bloody shuttlebay, that's why. Yes! Look closely. I'd like to thank LordSchtupp for that little piece of work I adapted to the TMP FDD model you see here. ;)







Federation Fire Support Cruiser, NCC-1803 USS Altair:

Old model:


I first want to thank Atra-Hasis for his first FireSupport Cruiser that he made, way back when. I saw *NO* reason to change the design, but just to bring it up to date. Here it is:








Enjoy, folks.

Cool, my incredibly common first name at least on a Fed ship, at least it's not Marco Polo ::) I like the new Burke, is that still Atra's NCL shuttlebay at the back? Looks a lot different. The only thing I dislike about the frigates is the use of the whole Enterprise bridge module, it really looks awkward on such a small ship, have you considered a version with just the bridge itself and sans the B/C decks?
If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then the deepest spy cannot discern it, nor the wise make plans against it.

   Bretty nice FireSoul .I thouht it might have something to do with the race car driver Jaquaes but not.The Frigate looks like a little Miranda.I would like to know how do you that put say 2 or 3 models into one folder and they show up in the game.For eg, F-CA it has the TOS version and the TMP version in it.How do you do this as I wouldn't mind learning how.Thanks and nice  looking models btw.

The Fed TOS and TMP are 2 separate models and are refered to from the shiplist, separately. They are in separate folders.

I designed my shiplist to leave the Assets/models/ folders alone. I created a opplus/models/ folder instead. Look in the shiplist.txt for the "Geometry" column of the model you want to tweak, and you'll see that OP+ models are like that.

you know, nothing stops you from just updating individual packages yourself. The Enhancement pack is great for starting you up, but once that's done individual installs is probably easier.

NSIS uses a scripting language, and thus needs some getting used to. ( I would suggest that Pestalence looks at it for his installer). It is however very powerful and versatile.

I like the christened name for the FFB- nice nod to Hunt for Red October there.

Wasn't my idea, except for the part that I chose it (when I recognized it of course).
It seems the names listed on ADB's site are all legendary Submarine captains, throughout the years. Ramius, of course, is a fictional character.. but who would pass up a chance to say "hey, I really like that movie" and use official ADB data? :)
