Just thinking ( Fed base bash request)
« on: February 17, 2005, 09:25:02 am »
Starbase designs ...  preferably Fed ..

TOS .. or TNG

either in the game(s)  SFC-2 (or OP) ... or BC  or ...  just something unique that someone has done.

What's out there.

Frankly I'm looking for something "special" ..  I may have to make one.

Dunno ...

anything you have or links etc...  please post here.

thanks in advance.

Yes...  but many of those do not have the sort of SB I'm looking for.  Others the graphics need a bit of work.   Good point to clarify ..  that was kind of a broad statment !

thanks for asking

Let me put it to you another way ...  what's available in BC ...  I dont have the game ..  and are there other SB  models available for DL ?

also ...   pardon my ignorance...  but can you review the models in BC with the same model viewer as the other files from SFC ?

Good point but I dont know how to view BC models? In the Island Wars mod there is a base called the Versuvious it massive and a really good model.

BCFiles does have a model viewer available, of memory serves.  It claims to be able to view various types of models, but I never was able to get it to work.  Maybe StarForce knows how to view the models, or knows what I'm talking about.

Agreed... 

However ..  first we need a model to look at !

LOL !!

OY .. 

At this point even a link to a place to DL the model would be a start !

I don’t think any Star Dock out there has been given a proper look.  I’d really like to see one that’s as close as possible to this on from Star Trek VI.  I just like the look of this Base.

Well, it's not a hundred percent accurate to that pic :(, but Trekmods has a SpaceDock that I could try to knock together if there was some interest:



BTW, OB, you were looking for a Nor station a while back, weren't you?  Did you ever find one?  Cause we got one of those, too...  ;_)

Nope.  Well not that I know of at least.  But I vote for a new one that fits the entire screen and re-centers so you can get better views of it.  More nice bases by the way...

Spartan-117 ...

not sure what to tell ya ..  I'm still back in the phone age ..  and I managed to get it !  (Though it took a while ).

Perhaps one of the guys with a little more tech background might be able to help.

---------------------------

MP ....

Can you imagine this type of lay out we found at "Treknology" .. done to the scale and design style of the one found at the post you made ...  WOW !

OOOOO ...  just thinking about it !

I have to run to work today (one of the benefits of being a dept head.  No one else will be there)   ...  I'll try to pop back here in a few. 

I wish there was, if nothing else, a better way to view that SB that you posted.  I have looked at in the MOD viewer ..  EXCELLENT work.  I have not looked in the credits yet ... Is that some of WZ's work ?

Well ...  I have got to run !

thanks everyone for all of the input!  This is good stuff to learn.   I can't help but to wonder if there is a shortage of SB's for the rest of the races out there ?

To the best of my knowledge that one done by Moonraker is the only one with an interior you can actually zoom in on, as for on with the a internal view that you could actually interact with no. I've never come across one.

Don't tease me like that WOW is an understatement. That would be the coolest SB to date. Oh man o man done in scale...........I'm getting goose-bumps thinking about it.

Well, seeing that the spacedock is on Moonraker's site and all...

I'm actually surprised nobody knew about that model, it's been around for years and was quite popular.

Incidentally, Moon's site was moved over to the CUGS server along with DRS. Try the link again and it should redirect you to the new and functional download pages.

I agree, I really am suprised that it's been forgotten. But about that other base WZ sir, care to give it a go. It goes without saying what you could do with it. ;D

Thanks for the clarification guys ..  I glanced at that very quickly while at work ..  All I saw was a notice that the site as managed by WZ .. I figured that there was a difference between managed" and done by.  My puter at work does not have any of the tools to review the stuff there.  (And if I DL a bunch of Trek stuff on my hard drive the CEO ..  [my immediate boss] might not quite understand the situation.  So I try to limit what I do while at work both in time spent and over all activities).

That was the reason I asked about who did the model.  The last couple of weeks have been a bit nuts to say the least.

Thanks for the patience guys !!  I appreciate everything. 

BTW...  2 things

1.  I still need a better way to review that model.

2.  MP ....   I'm with you bud !  That model you and I were talking about ?  OH YEAH !  ( still drooling !)

WOW it is big. I'm not sure if it looks right with that particular style base. In the TOS era one it works because Of it's layout and symetry. Honsetly I don't know if I like this one. Done to scale it would be immense,that's for sure. Take a look at this one, it's TMP/TNG era and it's already scaled to size........



http://www.battleclinic.com/docks/files/dist/index.php/file,31a6acf37a3cb7f1e4e736edd033faeb.zip

I guess it's up to you wether or not you like the one ya did. As perhaps the say the first base of operations for the Federation in the far off Delta Quadrant or something like that, where it would be the only facility around, I'd use it. But for an everyday base, for me it's too much.

You are exactly correct my friend .. it is ment for deep space out posts.  I kinda like that one you displayed too.  The down side of mind is that its just cut and paste stuff I threw togeather based on the one you posted with the internal detail.  If you noticed ... all of the components are from that one SB...

On an additional note ...  if you can find one that is similar in construction to the one I posted  . ..  perhaps a different configuration ...  I would be interested.  It should meet the following specs:

1.  TNG styling  preferably Fed.  I might consider DS-9 ..  but off hand probably not.

2.  defiantly a larger base.  Multiple satellites around it would be good, but not mandatory.

3.  Yes ..  it is deep space, major installation, just short of a colony in itself.

Finally ...  I need it soon.  ( I cant tell ya why just now)

thanks for all of the responses thus far.

I've got an idea.  That base that Pierce put up can be used to bash your base Buzz.  That base can be used as satellites joined to the main base as a ring.  Just an idea.

You know, honestly, this is the first time I've looked at this thread and actually seen that pic.  ;)  I remember the first time I came in after you'd posted that, the pic wasn't working for some reason, and then I forgot to look again.  :)  Didn't realize what you were going for.  A TNG version of that might look better with a SpaceDock-style Starbase surrounded by Regula-1's or Orbital Office Complexes...  I would vote for both of them interspersed around the "perimeter..."  Or, yeah, as Daihak said, the base I posted could be satellites around the main SpaceDock, but you seemed not to like that idea...  :)

2. Do you have some a couple different picts.

Well, it's circular, so it looks pretty much the same from every side.  :D  I'll work on some shots once I get the illum maps thrown on it...

BTW, anybody know an easy way to test Starbases in SFC2?
