I had a request for this ship, and I thought it was just different enough to work, whadya think?

Mr_Tricorder · « **Reply #1 on:** May 24, 2005, 11:16:47 pm »

To be perfectly honest, I don't like it. You did a good job with it, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

It's.... well words can't convey my opinion

A couple questions

Any chance of not using a stock model?

What's the point of the... "unusual" saucer design?

I think i might be able to answer to that, the point of doing something unusual is making something somewhat unique which usually brings up kitbashers into bit of fame since most us never can do much of unusual/unique stuff since were stuck with just cut/copy/paste methods of the programs of our choice. :p

I use 3D Max. and this ship was a request by one of my team members. I was unsure about it at first, but for what it is I'm pleased.

The point of the saucer is just to be unusual. Really through, the front of the ship there are 3 plasma launchers to put a major pounding to your target. There was a ship in SFC2 called the BCF or Bismarck, which had 2 plasma torpedoes. We figured the refit version should have at least upgraded this.

And what's wrong with using a stock model? It's not stock anymore.

I don't like it much either. Why not try this ?

or this............

good work vic. there is nothing wrong with being unusual. it doesn't suit my taste in ships,but to
each his own.

MP, It's simple why we don't use those, the files on BC are just images, no mesh, no textures, just an image of the file. Besides, this ship was requested this way, and the guy who requested it likes it. That makes me happy.

Greenvalv · « **Reply #10 on:** May 25, 2005, 08:33:18 am »

It's a good design 'cause the enemy will be thinking too long as to whether it really is a Federation ship......

Easier said than done, those are images I made from the Starship Creator

I see

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #13 on:** May 25, 2005, 01:53:02 pm »

Yup, thought the second pic with the canon in the front of the saucer could serve ya well as a Plasma DN.

I thought those designs looked familiar. I haven't messed with Starship Creator in a long time. It was fun at first, but it got boring really quickly.

That's all you need, Man.

Hey, MP, did you get the email I sent you last weekend?

Garath9 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2005, 02:19:59 pm »

what is this Starship Creator?

Mr_Tricorder · « **Reply #17 on:** May 25, 2005, 03:23:49 pm »

It's a Star Trek game (sort of) made by Simon and Schuster Interactive. It allowes you take certain classes of starships and alter the hull with different variations on different sections of the ship, give it a name and registry number, select what systems the ship has, and assign it a crew. Then, you can test out your new ship by sending it on missions. It sounds really fun, but it really ends up being little more than kitbashing with a very limited selection of parts. The missions are even more boring since you don't really interact with the ship once you send it on a mission. You just watch it move around on a map, read the mission update information, and hope that the ship has the proper equipment and crew to handle whatever it encounters. There were three versions of it released, Starship Creator, Starship Creator Deluxe, and Starship Creator Warp II (usually bundled with Dominion Wars, which is how I got it). I read somewhere that you could use the ships you created in Starship Creator warp II in Dominion Wars, but remember hearing about how nobody could get that to work well, if at all. I've never tried it, so I can't really tell how badly they screwed up that function.

give it a name and registry number

That would have been excellent in SFC.

Yeah, I have that game too, missions were dispicably boring and time consuming.....
