Question/Request
« on: December 12, 2004, 11:23:46 pm »
I was wondering if P81 ever did an SFB style FDN and Mars BB (TMP versions, of course). If he did does anyone have them or a link?

Thanks,

Check Battleclinic,that's where I've been uploading the stuff I have in preparation for my new system. There's of ton of P81 ships and bashes I've collected. Still have a ways to go to get all the ships saved that I have. Ah the joys of a crappy puter.

OK, help me out, bro. I did look through BC's model's section and didn't find any. Unless some of the stuff DonKarnage uploaded is P81's stuff? I didn't see any other credits for the meshes though besides Don as the author. I DL'd one of Don's models, but the poly count was way higher than typical P81 models and there weren't any LODs.

Don, If you are the original modeler of these fine models, I appologise for not knowing it. The couple that I DLed were very beautifull, just too many polies for what I need.

Rod, I am unaware of P81 ever having done any TOS dreadnoughts or battleships for the Federation. It seems that his first love is TMP for anything of that catagory. The closest to what you are looking for is probably going to be Anduril's models. I don't think he ever did LOD's but his later builds textures were not unlike Rick's. Wished I could help you out but I don't remember them ever being done.

Thanks,

P81 made a Yorktown a tri-nacelled version of an FDN from TMP Connie parts and he made the Zeus BB from Excelsior parts. Not his best works but they are a place to start. Eras of War and or Battle Clinic should have both.

Thanks, MP (and all), I appreciate the effort. I'm just surprised that P81 never did a tri-nacelle DN or a Mars style BB. WZ has, and they're beautiful models. I'll keep using his. I was just hoping for something that would be a bit easier on the PC. A multiplayer planet assault, for example, can have a crapload of ships, shuttles, drones, weapon's fire, explosions, mines, etc., etc... and slows things down quite a lot with 5 to 6k+ models. On my system anyway.

In the meantime, if someone like GAFY <hint> decides to do a retexture with LODs... (since I use a lot of his retextures and they'd look soooooo good together) Well, wouldn't that be nice? ;)

Hehe...got 2 types of dreadnought and 2 types of BB-type ships sitting around. Had a ton of other dreads up at SFU before it wiped out as well :/




I actually bashed these (apart from the starleague dreadnought on the absolute top-right, all i did was tweak the center warp texture and fix a bit of mesh on the pylon below it) for a request that was dropped later on, i purposefully used P-81 parts/based on his parts to keep the FPS at a good level (they have LODs as well) but they dont actually look bad in-game. One of these days i will finish hardpointing them and get em released and then start on a rather tasty idea Dizz came up with.

OK, here's the deal... Get them HPs done and give up the goodies here or I start showing those pics that I have of you and the <fill in the blank> around. ;)

PLEASE! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

P.S. Either shuttlebay arrangement is fine, but I like having the doors up front, if you don't mind.

ROFL  ;D

Tell ya what, i'll get em finished and uploaded for you tomorrow without fail  ;) Will give me time ot get the Hardpoints right and sort out credits.

PS: I will add some more pics up later so you can see the differences between the FBB's and the DN's - the DN's in these pics are basically the Star League (refit of the classic Federation Class dread with front and rear deflectors, front facing shuttlebay etc) and the "nearly identical to Connie but with third warp and rear-facing torps" Federation from Starship Design (i find it makes a good TMP FDNL)

When I get back in town I will see what those look like with the new textures I did forthe FCA and FCL. Looks like the texture fits were redone on those so I can do both sides ofthe upper engines with out screwing the lower ones.
