Topic: Coming soon... USS Decatur, Bartlet, Emancipation, Sagan (Read 5124 times)

Greetings all,

Got some errors fixed on my kitbash of the USS Decatur. It and its sister ships should be ready for D/L in a day or two. Decided instead of making a lot of alternate registries, to make a few variants instead:

USS Bartlet NCC-2508... another "pathfinder" vessel and precursor to the Belknap-class, with different nacelles.

USS Emancipation NCC-2519... a light dreadnought and precursor to the Ascension-class.

And finally... because I always wanted to know what it would look like, a TOS version of the Oberth, the USS Sagan NCC-498...

I still have some textures to fix. I'll post an update and links when they're online....

Wow! Smart work on everything. There's not a thing that's "fanboy-ish" or ridiculious. All of it fits in the TOS scheme of things.

I'd love to see all four of those ships in the OP+ Shiplist someday.

The Decatur would be a great model for the F-CS
The Bartlett could be used for the F-CS+
The Emancipation would make a good DNL (I really don't like the shape of the saucer on the one that's in there now)
and I don't believe we have a model for the F-SC, Sagan would fit well.

Those look like WZ's Gettysburg engines on the Bartlet.

DeepThought · « **Reply #6 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:58:54 am »

They are... the "WZ-32" model. He had them on his site for one's bashing pleasure.

Centurus · « **Reply #7 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:19:15 am »

Oh yeah. I had forgotten he had them available for kitbashing purposes. They're the same warp engines.

Very nice use of them. I've tried for years to think of a use for them. You beat me to the punch.

you should put some intercoolers on the pylons because the pylons look bare otherwise.

You know, I struggled with that, actually. I tried intercoolers on the ones with the TOS nacelles and couldn't get them to look right. Something to do with the whacked out angle of the pylon. I think they look better on the Bartlet, with its more TMP styling.

I hate that Bartlet. Hate where the Ascension class and a few other designs mate the pylons with the under of the aft hull. Hate it.

Now those other ships you have lister there are awesome! OMGosh I may use that light dread for the FDNL in sfcop. Nice job!

Love it or hate it, the USS Decatur is now available for download.

Thank you all for the feedback and praise... it's gratifying!

(EDIT: The above URL is now correct... the original ZIP was missing a texture for the pylons-- sorry!)

Love it! Looking forward to the Bartlett.

I've always loved the Beklnap and it's low-slung warp engines, so I really like your Bartlet variant and your FDNL

Thanks. I need to edit some hard points on the Bartlet, then she'll be ready to post.
