Department colors for that alt are the same as the normal.

I know, but I would like to see them.  Sue me, I like pictures.

A mini-skirt should come standard with that jacket, otherwise, I'll just have to watch re-runs of TOS!

Andorian Laser Pike



A few folks at starfleet academy train with these for fun / extra-curricular activity, especially marines.

edit: more pikes

Lol

Back to ships


Warhawk. I'm reclassing this as a DD or a CL (haven't decided which yet). Need permission from Major Racal before release (not that its ready, yet)

I'm easy as ever, so long as Atolm says yes too since I only painted her.

Just so you know, she's supposed to be the same length as the Connie, and when I released her, she was criminally out of scale.

I really like that Warhawk . . . close enough to the original Warbird/Bird of Prey that it fits, but different enough that it's exciting (I love the Romulan BOP, but when it was rehashed as the Snipe, War Eagle, etc. in SFB, it got old).

I know the warhawk was out of scale. thats okay. To be honest I've rescaled and re-purposed her myself. I need more CLs and DDs (to say nothing of Frigates)

The warp engines look like they could use a few more polys.  Some of the edges look a bit jagged.  Also, can we get some other views?  I'd love to see more of it.

The warp engines have 591 polygons. The ship itself has 4,336 polies, which actually translates to about 7,892 triangles. This is pushing it for me, so more detail would probably be bad, especially considering I haven't even done the main shuttlebay.

The warp engines are also an exact pull from my excelsior mesh, just squashed 75%. They are fine.

So the ship right now is in edit poly mode, or edit mesh/editable mesh?

In one variant, yes. But, I'm going with something called the Odysseus-subclass. Specifically the USS Murray http://madhatch.deviantart.com/art/USS-Murray-NCC-2604-161590849 more or less.

Wider saucer, different bridge module and decking, different nacelle struts, thinner nacelles, different aft module, thicker deck platform to make room for the secondary shuttlebay, different neck, different place for the photon launchers, etc....

I already have - except they aren't on the extended pylons. They are rather just at the bend of the struts.

That actually sounds more sensible than the way I've seen them before, when they looked like they were part of the strut at the bend.

Hey, btw, folks. I've gone back and started working on a PDF of my own SFB-inspired tabletop game (I mentioned it in a thread in the general forums). I've started writing the "rulebook" I could use a couple volunteers to help me edit it, make sure I haven't gotten too verbose and the rules themselves are clear. Would anyone care to volunteer?
