Way cool, Alec! She looks fantastic. You need to get back into SFC a bit more fulltime, IMHO.

I also agree with Chris. It makes sense, to me as well, that there would be differences between Connies. Each one would most likely have some advancements/refinements, etc... Technology marches on, after all.

I agree as well Great work Alec !!! And it totally makes sence that there should be subtle differences in each ship.

I'd love be doing this more fultltime again, but my new job and family life takes a lot of time. I've never been happier at work (I get to advise guys all day long on how they can help others fix computer problems), but I put in close to 10 hour days now there. And then when I get home, if I'm on the computer too long, my wife gets cranky (seeing I'm "on it all day as it is at work".) You know how that goes...

I do what I can when I can... but its delayed projects like the Lief Ericcson (down to under 15,000 polies now and just missing two textures now) and my own stuff.

At any rate, I uploaded her to Battleclinic last night in all three versions (1, 2, and 3)... so she's up there for the grabbing.

As always, if anyone wants to send me a screenie of her ingame doing something awesome, please feel free... that's one of *my* SFC-candy points.

Send it to my Gmail account (atheorhaven at gmail dot com) and you won't have to worry about it filling my inbox.

Hey Alec,
Check out the "Q3 documentation thread" in the open source forum. I know that you were very interested in this aspect of the source code. While the SFC source has stagnated, there has been some progress in the Q3 (2D interface) source.

While I can't tell the dif between code and a grocery list, you might find it interesting.

Ask and ye shall receive:

USS Constitution NCC-1700
USS Constellation NCC-1017
USS Defiant NCC-1764
USS Eagle NCC-956
USS Endeavour NCC-1895
USS Enterprise NCC-1701
USS Essex NCC-1697
USS Excalibur NCC-1664
USS Exeter NCC-1672
USS Farragut NCC-1647
USS Hood NCC-1703
USS Intrepid NCC-1831
USS Kongo NCC-1710
USS Lexington NCC-1709
USS Potemkin NCC-1657
USS Republic NCC-1371
USS Yorktown NCC-1717

Admittedly, this isn't 12 ships, but it stands to reason that they commissioned a few more after Kirk said that line in "Tomorrow is Yesterday."

just one thing: the Endeavour is NCC-1716, for the rest you seem to have for it.

for the model well i want it, i will add it to my colection

The Endeavour's number is derived from the list generated for the Star Trek Encyclopedia, and since the VFX people used the number from that list on the Defiant, it stands to reason that the other numbers are pretty much valid at this point.

Just a quick update:

I have all the base SFC 1 textures completed as per the above list at this point, am currently working on the illuminations for SFC 2 and SFC 3 versions.

I've decided to use the same base ship and package as I did for the Darkly Defiant release... I will even include that one in the downloads. So with what you see in the Defiant release, expect the same with this release. That'll be, a SFC 1, SFC 2, and SFC 3 release.

(edit: Alright, completed the illuminations.

These'll be ready for release as soon as I sort them all out into SFC 1, SFC 2, and SFC 3 versions. But here's what I'm going to do. For all the textures that are the same, they'll be in the root directory of the archive. For the differing regs and such, they'll be in their own directories under the root. Then, when you want to play a ship... just copy the root files, plus the files in a subdirectory int a single directory, and your ship should lhave all the textures are be ready to rock and roll).

I'll give you an example of the final result here... here's the Lexington:
