build this mesh last night, the original design was great so i thought i would make one for the games i make ship models for

the model at the pic is flat shaded to show the single detail because i made some parts vertex by vertex, poly by poly and the detail was not so good to see in smooth shading

This is looking really good (no shocks there, eh?)
I've never thought to try a mildly assymmetrical Cardassian, but I think it really works...

Tonga Blockade Cruiser

Owner : Cardassian Union
Class : Capital Ship
Availability : Common Variant
In Service : 2371

Description:
With the successful Klingon blockade of Cardassia Prime, a stranglehold was put on the Cardassian war industry. All of their convoys and most of their blockade runners were being intercepted by the Klingons. In a desperate effort to break the blockade Cardassian engineers went back to a 50-year-old design that could utilize locally available raw materials. In addition it could be produced quickly and cheaply. The design yielded a slow, awkward and heavily shielded cruiser. The Tonga's weapon systems were then updated with current technology applicable to its mission of breaking through the blockade while taking down as many enemy ships as possible. This ship was found to be ideal for pinning an opponent in place while the Galors and Hidekis went for the kill.

there will be a SFC version and i hope that there is one who converts it to SFC3 because SFC3 fits the Tongas era more than the other SFCs
MP thanx for the link with the info on it

I have some Lost Era Cardy's that MajorRacal did up, and those texture will be great for inspiration.

you know, there are alot of good simple non-canon designs for klingons and cardassians in armada 2, if you guys could redo any of them like the 2 in this thread it'd also be good.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2005, 02:54:54 am »

First get all the Armada 2 stuff ported and I'm sure we'll see people take cracks at redoing 'em

I know some have been but I don't recall there ever being an Armada II to SFC model pack. Or Armada one for that matter. I could be wrong though.

Darkdrone has done ST: Armada and ST: Armada 2 conversion mods which I believe are 90-99% of all the available ships from those games:

Armada 2 to SFC mod:

http://starfleetcommand3.filefront.com/file/PROJECT_ARMADA_2StarTrekArmada2_To_StarFleet_Command;26753

Individual race packs are available at that location as well.

I can't find the link to Armada to SFC but I know that Battleclinic and SFC3 files have a bunch of bases and ships from that game there. IMHO, the Armada 2 versions of the same ships/bases are much better.

Once again, thank you Terradyhne for sharing these WIPs with us.

But even an average level modeler could beat the A2 activision ones. Terredyhne certainly can, though I doubt he'd want to do them all, but if he's been bitten by the cardassian bug wouldn't hurt to show him a few

DOH !!!! I shoulda remembered that. Thanks for the hook up KF.
