Also found the Bubba...

Easiest way to see the pix is grab the link, paste it into your address bar, view, then Back to get back to this page.  Trying to save bandwidth on Outalance...

Have about 5 more ships as well...

Okay, try this then:

This shows all the screenshots I did testing the ship in SFC 2.  For those that don't see it, it's a modified Daedelus with a back mounted cargo pod hookup.. rusting out nacelles and slightly banged up lower secondary hull when it "jumped the curb". 

Has a Confederate "licence plate", a front bumper sticker that says "You'll pry my phasers out of my cold dead hands!" and a rear bumper sticker that says,"Honk if you're Horta!"  And rear nacelle "bling lights"

[atheorhaven]

New shots.. secondary and primary hull lighting is complete, modified the secondary hull to put a TOS-style deflector on there (going to tweak it a bit yet) and all that's left is I've decided to change the back lights on the nacelles to be all blue (instead of the mix of red/blue) and I'm going to bring out a bit more contrast on the bussards.  And then it's done..

I love what you're doing here. Funny theme.

You know, that's the thing.. we always do serious stuff for the most part.  I decided a while back that from time to time, I want to do something else.  This is a gret example of that.. and I wanted to put as much dedication into this ship as anything more serious.

I'm trying to make the ship *look* like a modified Daedelus, and be a plausible design.  And to have some fun at the same time.  Thinking of putting in a drunken brawl on the observation deck yet.

the texture on the cargo is backword, what hull you use for the weapons and how much power you put on the Daedalus?

Actually, the texture is right side up, it's the mesh for the pod that is upside down. 

I'll correct that before release.

I'd think that it'd run about an FDD or FCL for TMP standards and F-POS, F-FF, or F-DD for TNG standards.

[atheorhaven]

Okay, it's completed. 

I decided to leave the pod texture the way that it was because I wanted to really show that this was a cobbled together ship in this fashion and the mount *was* designed to be mounted with a bottom slung pod. 

Too late tonight to upload it, but I do have enough time before bed to add two final shots of the fore and aft.  I cleaned up the nacelle bussard a bit and it looks much much better.. and I changed the back nacelle glowies to all blue as per the Daedelus mesh that I've seen.

I also did some additional work on the back of the secondary hull, beefed up the rear hanger door, added illumination to it (a bit), and also added landing lights to the back of the ship, plus fixed the rear registry.

A *lot* of work for a fun ship.. but I think the final result looks decent, and could even be a plausible design.  Just not a practical one.

So here's the shots, and tomorrow after work, I'll go about uploading the Cletus somewhere where it can be downloaded from..

impressive dude

Thanks FW.. the front texture btw has been fixed and color corrected since the shot was taken.

You know what'd be awesome though would be if we could have custom shuttles.. I'd love to launch a fleet of rusty pickups from the hanger deck.

[atheorhaven]

that would be cool

Sorry for the delay.. my DSL modem bit it over the weekend.  The ship is done, all SFC versions.. just need to get my replacement DSL modem up and running at home and I'll have it uploaded.

Hey Alec any word on this one ?

Hey Alec any word on this one ?

That's the TMP refit... trying to get the TOS version completed first.  Still trying to track down that elusive non-illuminating lower saucer issue.. I think I'll probably resort to taking it off the hull, and remapping just that piece.. and finally slapping it all back together.  That should fix it..

... and while I'm at it, I have two others to come up..

(Whenever I can finally get on and upload them that is)..

That little "thing" labeled as a shuttle rocks.
