I like the extended neck on the D-10 please leave it or include it as a seperate modfile. Please.

Not really anymore windows than there already is (meaning very very few) windows are overrated to me.

I would agree on this point. A window would be a weak point. Thus the less of them, the stronger the hull. I would say windows would be more like the main screen on the bridge, you have them putting up scanner/camera images so you have the look of a window on the inside, but keep the hull strong. At least for the klingon, more utilitarian as they are.

Even from an aesthetic viewpoint windows can serve as a eye-catch, but these guys have enough and I don't want to overwhelm.

On a man of war, windows are few and far between.

Windows are a human thing looking good man.

why did you stick that ugly fragile C-7 boom to my D-10 ??
and i liked your texture style on the Mirak/Kzinti but i don't like it on those Klingons

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #1066 on:** February 27, 2010, 09:12:24 am »

The C-7 boom feels more solid, not quite as fragile as the normal D-10 boom. I didn't like how the D-10 goes from rather large to very skinny (granted the D7 and all other klinks do that, but this one seemed off and i think the C-7 balances it an inkling more).

The texture treatment was inspired by Qonos one, which i think is the prettiest of klingon ships.

What? No D-10 download link yet? LOL

Hey, FoaS, have you considered adding the same command boom to the D5? That might turn out to be very interesting.

The D5 has the a totally different command neck - it has two smaller extensions that are close to the main hull. Those two little things are actually a big detail-point of the D5 that separates it from other klink ships. Losing those to replace it with a neck that I'm using in other places would cheapen it I feel.

FoAS- ever consider making variants of the base models you have here? Swtiching out booms, minor kitbashing, and the like?

I always liked this version of the D5. The vanilla model didn't impress me as the rest of the lineup did when I started out with SFC1 way back when. Though it looks like another re-drawn D7 (something I didn't like about most of the SFB lineup- many of them re-draws of one ship), it's much, much better than the one we start with and there is some justification given that the D5 was supposed to be a new light cruiser... why not base it on a successful class?

that was the reason why i added a widened Boom that i had added to my original D-10 model and that i use on my reworked C-7 and B1 models. why should the C-7 Boom you added be not that fragile cause of those extensions on the sides that make no reason to me ?? this boom looks as fragile to me like if you stick a standard D-7 boom to it.

but its your artistic interpretation.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #1071 on:** February 28, 2010, 02:40:13 pm »

actually, structurely speaking, those extensions on the side would actually stiffen the neck, making it less fragile about the z axis (aka yaw). Though it would add very little about the y axis (pitch)

Starforce2 · « **Reply #1072 on:** February 28, 2010, 08:29:56 pm »

are you planning on doing something to those textures so they don't look freshly polished out of the shipyard? Ya know..streaks, scorch marks..ect?

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #1073 on:** February 28, 2010, 09:42:11 pm »

Maybe - the thread about my new texturing technique has some renders with a bit of grunginess. If I hammer out a quick way to do grunginess, I may jump for it, but I don't have a solid technique method, yet.

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #1074 on:** March 02, 2010, 07:03:37 am »

You could always make a grung template of semitransparent rust and such and just layer that on the verious textures as needed. That way once you got your rust perfected you wouldn't need to remake it every time just copy/paste.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #1075 on:** March 02, 2010, 05:08:36 pm »

Copy and paste with preformatted stuff works great for broad strokes of the metaphorical brush. Copy/paste for details is a bad idea - it makes it look bland.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #1076 on:** March 04, 2010, 08:01:37 pm »

Four more, or so, textures to go

Wicked Zombie · « **Reply #1077 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:39:51 pm »

Ah, my old B-10. Not many people have messed with this one so its nice to see her get some variety finally.

Nice work.

B-10 is done.

A thousand thanks to WZ for making the original

Oh, and here's the klink fleet thus far.
