It helps to have a unified mesh for BC but it isn't necessary, that's why most SFC models make such great ports for BC. And im talking about the level of UV mapping detail, not the mesh.

As for the Comet, Any pics?

I will think about that, if I do make it the textures will probably be British in theme... might be interesting.

Obviously... some of us know about the Comet.

What was this I was hearing about them refitting/rebuilding some old Comets to fly anti-submarine duty? Talk about your comeback story..

Just found the story:

Hell of a good Job

Start playing with verts not extrudeing polys

thats the true key to geting the detail you want moveing them verts around to get the shape you want. Keep it up.

FW thats excellent for a first scratch mesh. I am not sure if I am a fan of the raised paneling on the sphere, however. On the canon Daedalus, the smoothness of the sphere sets up a nice contrast with the ribs seen on the secondary hull and nacelles. If you want to do more than just a smooth sphere, I think a layered thing more like how DarkDrone did his daedalus works better - the layers existed only horizontally, not vertically.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #8 on:** September 26, 2009, 09:22:36 am »

Leaving seams for the textures is usually a wise thing to do.

there a bunch of sphere based ships in the charts on this page.

Rod ONeal · « **Reply #10 on:** September 27, 2009, 02:45:05 am »

I think it's a fine design. Looks really good! I don't think the sphere is over detailed at all. I'd add some sort of collar where the boom goes into the 2ndary hull and more structure where the nacelle struts connect to it as well. I love the rest of it though, for the era it's resigned for.

Just wanted to add to this discussion that the Comet Class is probably one of my favorite designs. The NX-01 should have been heavily based on the Comet because it fits well with the Early era of Starfleet. Can I make one request though, is it possible you coudl scale it a litte larger? The original specs seem to make the ship a bit small in my opinion. Maybe make it about 15% larger would be nice.

JohanobesusII · « **Reply #12 on:** September 29, 2009, 11:04:27 am »

I like that Daedalus. The weapon mounts do look a bit too modern though. If its armament was mainly missiles with lasers for point defense or maybe a couple of heavy laser cannons, should they look just like phaser turrets?

It is going to be released for EaW/OP isn't it?

candle_86 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2009, 01:23:18 pm »

i can texture your comet if you want, im doing someone elses also. Of course I do my textures to Cannon which means UES colors not UFP colors. Also the comet is fanon and not a very detailed one at that. So i like your mesh.

candle_86 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 29, 2009, 02:24:56 pm »

any plans to release for BC?

also for Daedalus it is Cannon, Sisko's deskmodel provided that. Which makes the Daedalus canon. It was seen in both Essex and Horizon which gives us the 2100's period from both TOS and TNG. Because Essex was called Daedalus and this model appeared labled both Essex and Daedalus it verify's that Horizon was also Daedalus. Also it verfied the UFP colors of the 2100's.

Besides thanks to Enterprise and JJ. Canon is no longer valid any more in my eyes. So I can make my models however I want.

I'm sure I'm going to regret saying this in some way, but I totally argee with this statement. But nothing against ST: Enterprise, I enjoyed most of the episodes (even though they contradicted most of all the other ST shows) but I didn't look at the show as Canon anyways. I try not to relate it to the "later" period shows, a separete show all on its own. The only real complaint I had was the exterior design of the Enterprise, B + B could have done a little better job at that.

I did not watch JJ's Star Trek, nor do I plan too.

candle_86 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2009, 04:35:34 pm »

well the art department for ST:E wanted a Daedalus Class ship in style for ET:E, but BnB decided they wanted a sleeker look.

Magnum357 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 30, 2009, 03:22:05 am »

Sleeker?!?! Your kidding right? The NX-01 looked like it was slapped together. Something similar to the Daedalus or this Comet class would have been a better option.

But I will say, I did like the uniforms and the interior sets of Enterprise. Those were top notch.

I second that. Enterprise and the new movie have completely destroyed any continuity in Trek. We should all just embrace SFB, IMHO.
