It would probably be faster to just make a rib and copy it a few times on a Khaliban warp drive to get the dsame effect. Might not be as poly efficent but the look would still work and you would not have to worry about streching errors on the ribs

The ribs would be easy. The thing I'm worried about is where the ribs lie. On the churchill nacelle there is an indent in the top of it. I could boolean out the indent, then lay the ribbing on top of it.

I'll play after I'm done with this:

Interesting take on the Akula :)

What's the story with the warp nacelle grills? Will you be including alternate blue/black textures or are the finals supposed to be yellow/orange?

on the star league you have the windows on the lower hull and photon launcher to large compared to the rim and upper pylon

When I started with the Connie - I oringally meant everything to be blue with only some Orange parts to balance my pallette. at first I had though that yellow/orange vents would be too much against it, so I vied for a simple shift to blue/purple for vents, ending my color pallette at blue, purple, and orange. It was about when I did the lexington that I realized that it wasn't enough. I Switched gears and did the Orange/Yellow, ending my pallette at Blue, Yellow, and Orange. I liked it, so every ship I did after that had the same color pallette.
I never went back and fixed the connie, and thusly anything that was bashed from the connie either.

At atolm's recommendations, I changed the star league's grilles, and quickly went to everything else as well. I like it better this way.

Stunning work, FoaS!! Question about the Mars: Would you be open to slinging another fore/aft firing torpedo launcher under the secondary hull? I know that's contradictory to the Mars design, but since it's supposed to be a battleship, it seems a bit light on firepower. Just my opinion, mind you.

No worries.

I'm not anal about specific designs. I'll throw one on there see how it goes.

edit:



went well. i'll keep it.

One last question: Will you be doing Federation and Ascension class dreadnoughts?

what's the difference between the Federation, Ascension and Star League?

Edit: Nevermind - I pulled the schematics.

I see the differences, but in my mind they are minute. I tend not to go heels over head for accuracy to a specific design, but rather to the general layout. I'm not really going to go heels over head to nail out every little variant. But, it may - in the end - be a possibility. Hope you understand.

Oh, no worries. I was just wondering.

I was able to bash up the new Churchill nacelles, so it's possible that a retexture of the churchill itself is still a possibility. I'm inclined to think it would serve was as a New Heavy Cruiser and that idea has me excited, so I will do my best on being patient with it. I have ripped apart the shuttlebutt and replaced it with some proper geometry - not the crap that was on there before. the secondary hull mapping has been completely gutted, and the saucer extensions have been remapped. I have also taken the liberty of replacing some parts with Khaliban's connie parts: specifcally the impulse crystals at the top and bottom and the impulse engines. Again, it's a matter of the originals were crap. The bridge and ventral sensor dome are Khaliban's too.

Here's a render of the parts I've replaced on the churchill.



EDIT: I suck at grammar.

I like the Federation Symbol yu have on the side of the Mars there.
Think I might use that if you don't mind, or at least make a variation of it.

The Churchill looks pretty interesting, if you rebuilt the problem areas and are now remapping it the ship will not be as painful to do.
If you need any textures let me know

Where does the Churchill come from?

Wasn't impressed with the design ever since I first saw it on Staryards... I felt it was too heavy on the greebles in all the wrong places. Perhaps your retexture will help me change my mind?

It was a fan made ship by Brian Patrick Montgomery (aka Anarion). First saw it at SciFi Meshes myself, a much higher poly version. I don't have a link to the orginal site anymore not to sure it is still around. When I had to find Anarion a few years back to get premission to release my retextured version, the blue fleet, I found him by chance.

Actually was a pretty agreeiable person to talk with

Damn nice work on the Churchill. I'm going to miss the armored bridge. This is my favorite TMP era Federation ship, I use it as my Fed X-cruiser.

This is followed by the FASA Chandley and Lt. Riley's TMP Loknar Refit USS Phobos and the TMP Akula. I use the Akyazi as my X-destroyer.

Anarion's quasi-interactive USS Churchil site is here:
