If you like these, *please* let Terradyhne know that you do.  These didn't have to be converted over, and he would probably be happy to know that you are enjoying his work.

Awesome Terradyhne.. I didn't know how you felt about Battleclinic, so hadn't uploaded it there.  Otherwise, that'd have been the first place that I'd have gone...

[Terradyhne]

nice work guys

thanx

The detail on the N5 is impressive. Probably the romulan as well but someone got lazy on the screenshot

Thanks SF.. that was me doing those.. linked directly from 4shared gives you a small pic like that.

Here's a larger pic..

Nice pics Altheorhaven.

I'm still hoping for a V-20 tug, LOL.

Defennetly a sweet romulan. And don't worry..I was just mess about the pix hence the smiley I dunno what the tug variant looks like but if it's as good as these 2 then I'm looking forward to it as well.

[atheorhaven]

Tell you what then.. I'll work on a V-20 tug as well as the one I was working on.  Those textures are almost complete and the mesh is pretty well done for that.  Just a minor mapping issue on trhe new part to correct..

You and the TUG's  , saw that coming a mile away  .

[atheorhaven]

Well, may as well post the one that I'm working on in this thread as well.. took Terradyhne's Capsize and I'm building an RFE out of it to update Ghost's original design.. and will then use the same cargopod and hauler for the V-20.

Almost done, just have to fix the hauler boom so that if the pod is detached, the bottom of the hauler has the connect plate on it.

Going to do a bit more work on the textures, I want to weather them a bit more.. as well as fix the illumination textures.

[Klingon Fanatic]

Nicely done Atheorhaven!

[atheorhaven]

Nicely done Atheorhaven!

Thanks..   Wanted to give people a choice.. using a new RFE, or an updated one.. the cargopod turned out almost like the mockup.. just need to do a bit more work on the ship textures now, and it should be good..

  An Alternate texture set for the V-20 using Atrahasis' S-11, T-10 and N-1 texture set:

Please note CV is NOT the best quality for quick picture taking. It looks MUCH better in game.

[atheorhaven]

And I have pics as well.. will be uploading tomorrow.

Have completed the Capsize RFE other than a couple more texture tweaks on the ship.. and have added the cargopod to the V-20 tonight (and here's how I steal time.. I drove my wife to her class, and while I was waiting for her, I took along my laptop and a power inverter so that I could work on the ships while I was in the car).  So don't say that I never do anything for you. 

The V-20 will probably have a dark green texture set for the cargopod as well, but will include both with both ships.

The shot of the bottom of the Capsize shows the bottom of the hauler minus the cargopod.. so if the pod is removed from the ship, there will be a texture under there for the connector.

sorry KF but are my texture skills not good enough for you as you got out a retexture for nearly every ship i made ?? LOL

Looks good Atheorhaven but i suggest a bigger connection hub for the container connection, not just a such thin tube.

I think KF is like me.. he likes to tinker with released ships, and is probably going for a common look for all his ships. 

And the one tube is an interim thing.. I'm using one at the moment for texturing purposes, and will dupplicate that to three or four before release.  It'll be either three like this:
    ____
   |  0   |
   | 0 0 |
    `---- '
or four
    ____
   |   0   |
   | 0  0 |
   |   0   |
    `---- '

If I do increase the size of the post, it'd still be with two posts, one in front and one behind.  The idea of having the smaller posts is that if they're not running the cargo pod, they could pull in the booms and brring the plate up against the hull of the ship, reconfigure the engines for running light, and reach normal maximum speeds for a non-RFE.

Btw, I'm going to weather the ship a bit more before release.. I've already added the paint drift on the bird, next will be to add a layer of dirt and grit.

"sorry KF but are my texture skills not good enough for you as you got out a retexture for nearly every ship i made ?? LOL  "

Not at all Terradyhne.  Your stuff rocks!

In FASA Trek the Romulan T-10 series were all painted differently. From FASA T-10 entry: "Named for the reemea, a brightly-colored bird native to Corill, these destroyers are painted by their crews in striking rainbow colors.  Because no two of these vessels look alike, the paint scheme may be used for positive recognition; the scheme for seven of these vessels is recorded in Star Fleet computers."

In general, I do like to have a uniform Romulan fleet. However, I use different texture sets in general  to represent different squadrons or even hero/specialty ships. I just thought the V-20 could be treated the same way.

I think Atheorhaven's Tug version is really great too!

UPDATE 3-21-08 In Game Pics:

[Starforce2]

Question: Will a podless N-5 with torpedo and pulse weapon ports be released? It would be a shame to waste such good textures on a cargoship. So how about a destroyer variant?


Edit: I found some pix of a CGI vessel that would go well with the N-5, except this ship carrys a cyclinder:


(also I'd like permission to use the n-5 and the KF version romulan for BC ports. If no remapping was needed Maybe both scemes.)
