I'm currently re-upping all the models I've done with the texture-bake technique (this might take a little while). Ships that haven't yet been updated with this technique will be updated then reuploaded.

Okay, all the Feds, Roms, and Klinks that have gotten the baked-lighting treatment are up for download. Enjoy people. Working now on getting the rest of the Canon feds redone.

Alright folks - another model for you (even if it isn't canon). This is what the 2271 refit of the Enterprise would have looked had The Motion Picture taken place in the FoaS version of Star Trek.


It's up on the site.

It looks like a smoother and more logical refit transition. Which would leave the canon 1701-A as a "ground up" build along the same vein, but actually more able to implimement the new technologies of the '71 refit and thus has different, yet similar lines.

That was exactly my thinking :)

Part of me wants to redo the special effects from TMP, TWOK, and Search for Spock with the new ship models >.<!
Think of it though: this refit up against the Reliant? The enterprise would have really looked old in comparison, would have made the plight against khan appear to be even worse!

And the ConnieX has been updated in the same way... I hope to get the oberth, excelsiors, and constellation up and out as soon as possible. You should see at least one of them today.

I was going through my old OPPLUS models and noted that I have an old Sivista with a third warp engine on the top of the secondary hull (as a  KD5W) and thought, that third engine would be better on the command boom...


Nice work Foas! Thanks for sharing all these.

Let me get the Canon TMP Feds out, then I'll go for the Sivista and your variant :)

Sivista

Upon thinking about it a second: Why are you using the Sivista for a War Cruiser - feels more like a Heavy Cruiser to me, a parallel to the K't'inga.

Well, an older ship would be perfectly fine for a minor training cruise....

Though if you did pull that off it would be an ironic statement to the original intent of the Reliant: If I recall, the script originally called for the Reliant to be an older ship.

I'll fire up OP and put these in when I get the chance.

If you mean the L-9 Saber from FASA, I agree with the notion that the craft feels like a light cruiser or war cruiser. This may be because the D7 is wider and feels solid around some important parts (nacelle connections, base of the boom to the main hull). The command pod feels a little bigger and more ornate (for the lack of a better word) than the L-9. The nacelles the way they are, the L-9 tries to squeeze them close to the hull (like the Miranda) instead of splaying them outward (As in the D7 and Constitution) It would almost seem like the L9 is a cut-down version of the D7, probably to save on expenses and get more of them out the door to harass the Federation.

In this way I can see the L-9 as a counterpart to the Miranda... though perhaps weaker than her Federation adversary. Just as the D7 may have been superior in some ways to the constitutions.

Here we go again... fun with the word 'frigate'...

FASA Frigates like the Klingon L-9 Sivista and the Federation Chandley would really be heavy cruisers in SFB or any other Trek game I have ever played.

SFB of course makes frigates as smaller warships.

I have used the L-9 as my KCL and even put it in as the OPPLUS KD5/W and new heavy cruiser (KNCA) slots. Other FASA lore suggests that this was a newer design coming in alongside the K' t' inga.  I have found it to be a formidable ship in the KCL/KNCA roles. It's personal preference.

My kitbash request is two fold; 1. somewhere in SFB lore there are Klingon vessels where the command boom is seperatable from the secondary hull in emergencies like mutinies or severe damage. 2. If your going to put a third warp engine on a ship shouldn't its location make sense? If you put one on the command boom, then the ridiculously small third warp engines like on the OPPLUS KD5W begin to make sense. Why would the technology that allows the Federation ships to seperate their saucer be exclusive. Klingons may want to die in glorious battles but there are times when even Klingons recognize it's prudent to live to fight another day. Last, if 'I' have to be convinced, for game balance, to give up the idea that in SFB and SFC OPPLUS that Klingons don't use photon torpedoes, I want some more Klingon ships that are asthetically pleasing to look at.



An interesting read to support these ideas can be found here under the L-9 listing:

http://home.comcast.net/~ststcsolda/klingons/L-9/L-9.html

Please, FoaS, honor my kitbash request.

I also agree with Norsehound, the Sivista is more akin to the Federation Miranda IMHO.
