Gorn TMP Snake Ear Special cruiser
« on: May 02, 2006, 03:30:26 am »
another new gorn ship designed by me, this is a special missions cruiser, its mostly used as an mobile listeningpost or anti-cloack cruiser but could be equiped with several equipment to fullfill its special tasks



it has 725 polys in the model

I guess I was always on the unpopular side liking stock SFC Gorn ships over the SFB ones.  With that said, I really like what you've done here.  It's a good job and I'm pretty sure I'll use it if given the chance.

I like it. I reckon we could use some more Gorn ships around here.

Snake ears... LOL! Since you brought the topic up Terradhyne here is an excerpt from

http://science.howstuffworks.com/snake1.htm

Hearing - Although snakes are not equipped with outer ears like people, sound waves from the air hit their skin and are transferred from muscle to bone. When the sound reaches the ear bone beneath the skull, it sends vibrations to the inner ear, and the sound is processed by the brain.

Keep those Gorn ships coming!

I barely even heard of SFB until I bought SFC1 and found the SimXtreme forums (the original this forum came from) and always thought that the SFC1 (and EAW and OP) stock Gorn ships were designed after the SFB ones, because I never saw much SFB at all.

The first time I saw a SFB Gorn ship was on the SFC forums and boy was I shocked at the difference.  It seems the SFB artists used the Starfleet saucer as a basic template!

I think a long time ago, I almost got flamed in either the original or the Taldren forums for saying I like the Interplay Gorns a whole lot more!  :o  :(  :huh:

I think that kind of behaviour described (the negative reaction you described) reminds me of my own reaction and the reaction of other people when Enterprise was announced and we all saw the ship and flipped out over its resemblance to the Akira-class Starship from First Contact.  That was nearly five years ago.  I think most people back then (at least I) expected the Daedelus-class or something of that sort.

sorry double quote  :)

i still don't like the NX-Enterprise pseudo pre TOS problems and the designs, but some episodes have been cool  ;D
