I plan on updating it (mostly with the detail, but some with the shape) and texture it as TMP.

Some nice looking Cardies! And I can't wait for those Mirak; Mirak and Gorn are tough ships to find, so what you're doing is very, very much appreciated. As always! :drink:

Thanks Tulwar, very flattering - Now if only bethesda would realize that ;).


Maybe the community will have to send in cards and letters to Bethesda to help boost your selling points.

I like Bethesda games, I like your models, they should be together.

Lol - Actually a game wrapped around my mind would be pretty much like SFC + Civilization. It wouldn't be all that violent.

My work wouldn't become crap - What would end up happening is, I'd make versions that they want, and then I'd make versions how I'd want :-).

Nah, what really should happen, Is we should all contribute huge amounts of cash and have a game made around Fury's mind..... I think it would be pretty graphic and violent.... Where do I send the cheque?

See, now this idea, I'd like.

But It's not like I'd make Unreal in space.... though that sounds pretty cool :-)

Okay, for those of you who felt that the ship was too cardassian, take a look at the latest addition to the fleet. See how it ties everything into the established Mirak motiff. It's probably a little big, but thats the CL.

Well, I want a copy of all the ships, who knows, if my son and myself get our act together a game could make it out with those models.

The CL should be only slightly larger than the DD (they are about the same in combat power). What you have there might make a nice BC.

The CL should also have only two wings. The FF should have three (tiny) engines.

This all assumes you are trying to get close to SFB canon of course.

I definetely overscaled the DD, to be sure. I've already corrected it - but I didn't think that it was just slightly bigger (I was thinking 125% the size of the DD).

The frigate looks good with either two or three engines, but I just got tired of the three-engine monotony. I saw that the CL is supposed to have 2 missile wings, but I wanted just one more pop from it. If I recall correctly the stock ZCL has three (or four, cannot recall).

I will conform to SFB canon when it is convenient - which is what I do with any sort of Canon.

The BC will have a bigger ironhead and a more substantial middle-assembly. I already have it laid out in my head.

I was a little worried when I saw the FF from the original angle (thinking that it looked too Gorn with the two nacelles vertically), but from your latest shot it is nice. These are looking awesome.

If either of the two versions make it out, sure.

One is a Dawn of War:soul storm total conversion, the other is from scratch.

How can you make an SFB-like mod from Dawn of War?

Well, it would be more of a F&E mod, as you would be a commander of a sector of space.  My son has an idea for it, he is the UI/AI programmer for one of the mods being done.  So in it you would be building the ships and assigning them to fly out and attack.  The resource and relic points would be planets that are to be captured.  We haven't got all the details worked out, it is something we have been bouncing back and forth alittle.

And the from sctratch one, have to add the UI/3d/network modules and will be ready for programming in the game code.  (not really as quick as that sounds).  At the moment it is SDL/opengl code, but sadly I have been looking at swapping over to more windows centered as the network book I am reading right now is directx programming.  But I might just have to buy a few more and try to stay system independent.

The Dreadnaught is definitely Kzin, I mean Mirak.  I'm just upset that the frigate doesn't conform to the ship I made out of Lego Blocks thirty years ago!

As far as Atolm's Cards go, Atolm is one of few moders that can crank out a handsome fleet.  I wish I could remember who remade the Gorn.  Those were nicely done.

BTW, Marstone, back before SFC, I always envisioned a SFB game being a fleet game like harpoon, where the player only sets policy decisions for combat.  I guess this is what they call a FE game.  SFC is fun, but it's a captain's game, all tactics, no strategy.  The only way to turn it into a strategy game is to make use the Dynaverse.  I've gone into this before.  I'd definitely appreciate such a game.

Tulwar - There is no DN, yet - what you see is the CL, DD, and FF.

You should look into the turn-based campaign that is going on - its in development right now, but its like a simplified F&E game with SFC as a combat resolution system.
