Nice job Altheorhaven!
Based on the pictures at Kthyla's site I always figured that the Tholian is pulling the freight behind it and not pushing it as it travels backwards...
If you think it's moving backwards than it probably is and if you can fix it or offer a "fixed" version that will save an additional request.

Well, it *appears* to be backwards according to every Tholian ship I've ever seen, but then again the Tholians don't think the same way either, so it might be right.  It'd make more sense the other way, IMHO.

What I'll do is have both MODs.. that way people can use the one that they prefer.  :)

Break MOD btw breaks behind the arrowhead and shatters the cargo trailer into seperate components.. it should look good when it's ingame.

The trick is when to send it as I'm still dialup at home.

What I think I'll do is send it as is to you to try out, and then if it's good for you, Monday I'll put the whole thing back up for people to grab..  (edit: Okay, it's in your Gmail and Hotmail accounts ready to fly).

Thanks for your work on these fine ships.

The trick here is honestly finding time.  I have 1:40 hr commute each way to work now, and we're pretty busy on the weekends as well now.  :p

Just glad to get something up, my TARDIS has been languishing for far too long, and the Doctor has threatened to drop K9 into E-Space again because he won't shut up.  So needless to say, that needs to get posted sooner rather than later..

Too bad we couldn't find a way to switch models in game battles so they fly backwards to simulate retrograde manuevers. Then again, the models folder would just get bigger and bigger...

The Tholian frieghter is flying backwards, lol...

I still remember the KA Tholian Quartz DD when it was ported over it was flying backwards too.

Here's an orginal picture: http://dhost.info/phoenix/scrnsht/thftr1.jpg and one that shows the original freighter engines as viewed from behind: http://dhost.info/phoenix/scrnsht/thftr2.jpg

Here's an in game pic of the freighter retexture in action:

I can't stress enough how grateful I am that you have taken the time Atheorhaven to fine tune these ships.

Keep up the great work Atheorhaven!

I just ports what I was sents.  ;)

Yeah, I was certain that the Tholian was backwards as well, but didn't flip it around in case it was supposed to be that way.

I'm glad that the mesh looks okay in game, do you have a shot of the break .MOD as well?  Just curious as to how that turned out for you..

Here are some *.brk mod shots.  It blows up real nice in at least four different parts.

Perfect.. that's what I was going for.  :D

Okay, I'll flip the ship around tonight if I can sneak the time in, and then redo the break .MOD once it's flipped around.  That should get it looking the way that it should.  That all being said though, I'll have to find the credits file Kthyla has (if I don't have it in the directory) so that it could be put into a new archive..

Yup Atheorhaven, the new freighter is going to fit right in with the rest of the KA style Tholians I have...

Okay, Atheorhaven came through with updating the retexture, it flys right now, and the break model.

Any objections to releasing this Starforce2?

Anything new to report on these model tweaks that have been requested?

Also has anybody considered converting the rest of Kthyla's fine ships?
