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..

[Klingon Fanatic]

Nice pics Altheorhaven.

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

[Starforce2]

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!

KF

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.)

[Klingon Fanatic]

It's really up to Terradyhne they are his models.

The texture set I'm using is another issue entirely. I doubt Atrahasis will have an issue with the T-10 style texture version but since it's going to BC, I'd e-mail him first.

KF

[atheorhaven]

Okay, just one last texture to do (the plate texture for the V-20 RFE).  So almost ready for release.

Although, I'm still using Terradyhne's original scaling for the Capsize.. I may still have to scale it up (haven't checked).

Now, there's the two ships, and I'm including a nopod version for each.. so you can fly it with or without the cargopods, and I'll include the pod by themselves.. I can see them being used in mods.

So, here's the shots:

[Klingon Fanatic]

Wow! The connection area is a really cool idea! Excellent work Atheorhaven.

KF

[atheorhaven]

Thanks guys..

The connector was an idea based off the Pteolmy.. figured that Romulan epsianoge would pass those good ideas down the line..

Bit delayed though because I wound up working on one of my own meshes today.. something for me.

I never was totally happy with how one of my meshes looked, and started building a replacement a good while back.  And I needed something to release with another *long* delayed release.. my Daleks.

So today, I rebuilt my TARDIS mesh, and it turned out way *way* better than it was before.  I'm really happy with it, and just have a couple of texture tweaks to complete on the call box sign above the main part of the body.

So I'm up to six things to release now, hope to have them all completed and released tomorrow.

But here's a shot of the new TARDIS mesh of mine with textures 95% complete.

(Btw, the yellow border around the window is one of the illumination textures.. I noticed that when the TARDIS is in darker condiirtions, there's a yellow border around the window.  So I'm adding that here).. it's not on the main texture.

[Starforce2]

any chacne of that klink tanker being made or a combat version of the N5?

[atheorhaven]

TARDIS for SFC 1 and SFC 2 are up at Battleclinic.. have to do the beauty shot for SFC 3, and then that's done.

Uploading the rest of the ships tonight.. have to clean the hourse for the inlaws.. :p

As for whether there'll be a combat version of the N-5.. that's Terradyhne's call.. if he doesn't mind one being done, then maybe that can be done.

Yeah, Terradyhne should release the combat version of the N-5. We need MORE Klingon ships, LOL.

KF

[Starforce2]

agreed. Is anyone thinking of trying that klingon fuel tanker I posted pix of?

[Panzergranate]

I finished a conversion of Terradyne's N6 pod into a ore refinery pod to attach to a Klingon Dust Trawler as found in Asteroid belts. A Federation Cabot Class Dust Trawler is shown in the "Space Flight Chronology" (1979) so I figured the Klingons needed one.

Anyhow, my design has an attached ore refinery pod, which it fills with tractored in mineral dust and debris, deposits the filled pod for collection by a tug and trundles off with an empty one to continue "hovering" the Asteroid belt.

I'll E-mail over the new pod, Terradyne, for good use when I've finished tinkering with it.

Sounds interesting. Maybe it could be a minelayer too...

Pictures please

[Panzergranate]

According to SFB, the K-FMS and K-FML (Small & Large Minelaying Freighters) use modified pods. The K-FMS carries 25 x Mines and the K-FML carries 50. Explosion values are 50 and 100 respectively. Both make good Kamakazi ships in SFB starbase assault games!!

I just use the SFB Klingon freighters modelled Atheorhaven (I think) as a minelayer in LAN campaign sceanarios.

The same goes for K-AuxCV and K-AuxCVA, which the Klingons prefer to wasting warship hulls for the same purpose.

It could be modified to show the mine racks strapped to the pod.

The same could be done similar vessels from other races too.

Anyone planning to model the pallets for the Lyrans especially the Impulse Powered Troop Lander Pallet??

Another future project for someone would be a Deutronium or Anti-Matter Refinery. A Federation one is shown in the "Space Flight Chronology". Such thngs are needed as FMSE scenario props and LAN campaign objectives.
