damn. sorry.

Okay, so here's how I've been thinking about the evolution of the common FCA form.




As you can see - we go from the Kelvin-style from before TOS, to the new Connie (using NX-style elements to bring the design into something more modern), then we have the XShips, which exist as a kind of bridge between TOS and TMP, and lastly the TMP form. This is how my fleet is going to work.

It may just be the angles in the pics combined with my bad eyesight, but the revised TOS bridge module looks more like TMP than the Phase II. 

It sort of reminds me of my little kitbash of Stresspuppy's Endeavor with the textures and some parts from WZ's Patton.  I am quite tempted to just replace TOS Constitution with that version, which keeps the basic look of the original but with the hull proportions of the movie ship, so that it might actually be a refit.

Let me try to walk through what everything is - it should clarify everything up.

The TMP ship is unchanged, except for textures

The 'Phase 2' or SFB X-Ship has these parts
 - Saucer (including the bridge, etc) of the Patton
 - The body and nacelle struts of the Gettysburg
 - The nacelles of the Resolute

The TOS version has these parts
 - Saucer, body and struts from the Monitor
 - Bridge and nacelles from the NX

The pre-tos uses the same basic ideas as the Kelvin.

That explains it.  I always thought the NX would make a good Phase II ship.

I use WZ's firestorm for that - or at least, I will use a modified version of WZ's firestorm for that.

Okay, folks - time for a push: Name three ships you want to see released next.

Romulans please... Infact anything none fed, as theres too many feds out there

Out of the Non-Fed ships, the klinks are closest to completion.

Check out the first post in this thread and yuo should have some idea, but I will make a more detailed 'project map'.

Infact, Can we make other Request.... Like maybe some updated B5 stuff? Maybe even some Farscape or Space Above and Beyond?

I don't think this makes much sense: Take a guy, who takes a while to release things, instead of releasing something that's almost done, or even half-way done, let's have him start from scratch yet ANOTHER set of models (for a series he doesn't much care for, even - but you didn't know that), wait for him to gather references, build it till he's happy (which means at least three attempts), unwrap it, texture it, build a break model, and convert to MOD format.... This makes no sense to me

the vger thing was meant more as a joke anyway :D  im happy with whatever comes next.
the next model you should work on should be the model you realy want to work on anyway. the model you have the most fun with. getting requests about a models that are not on your top of the list might lead to a burn out feeling.
might sound stupid but ive seen this happen alot of times. you made/modified  a tremendous amount of models and i realy like them. woul be sad to see you loose interest over time by doing too much.

Releasing more Feds  ;D

Think Fallen Warrior  and Kligon Fanatic are about to have words with you!
Anyways in no order of importance:
A did you fix the mesh yet?
B I think the more home world looking ships would be a better release as non-trek ships seems to interest me again

Actually, GAFY, I have... I have but one question: How would you prefer me to unwrap the bussards? Right now they are a single UV element.

Good question...
The rest of them where fine it was only the front area showing distortion that needed fixing. My guess is that it needed a different type of map applied only there and it would be the same as applied to a sphere to prevent that from happening. I just don't know how it can be done seperate compared to the rest of the texture.

Bangs head on an imaginary wall... where are the as equally cool TOS/TMP adversary ships?

Very nice work though.

Any chance you'll do TMP versions? That would be sweet too. TMP era is my favorite era and just makes the most sense to me.

Well,  I admit I'd prefer to play with some newer Klingon ships. Maybe Terradyhne could send FoAs the D-10 of his early for his retexture plans.

Always nice to have more than one paint scheme for different Klingon and Romulan ship variants/fleets.

Thank you for sharing FoAs.

I cannot, in all sense of honor, let you go into battle against human PagH without a destroyer


Someone please enlighten me - what is the difference between the D6 and the D7 in SFB?
