i had time to work any further on it, the basic texture is done for the most part of the model, the texture for the underside of the primary hull needs to be done and than it will be ready for ingame
its a TMP era version of this ship like most of my Klingons

hope you guys and especially KF like it

Nicely done Terradyhne! She fits well with your other fine Klingon ships.

For TOS fans you might want to have a slab gray version too like you did for the FASA D-16.

It will be nice to take 'er out for a spin...

Like it? I love it !!

I'm happy that you guys like it, i thought that the panelling on the main hull doesn't look that klingon like.
Pics of the finished model and the download of it will follow later.

Terradyhne · « **Reply #7 on:** October 09, 2009, 08:31:46 am »

the texture and model are complete now, next will be the lightmaps and conversion to game

This will make a great X- class battle cruiiser or heavy Battlecruiser for the SFB portion fantastic work there

Looks like I know what ship I'm going to retexture when I get back into the mood for the klingons.

Terradyhne · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:35:10 am »

sorry but i got confused by FASA dates of service, which is the damn TMP version of this, is it the D version ??

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:48:14 am »

I couldn't tell you - the FASA dates make no sense to me.

Does this mean this guy is almost ready for release :-D -jumps up and down in anticipation-

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2009, 03:29:21 pm »

In FASA lore the D-10 was the "Queen of Battle" during the Four Years war also this is the same period that Federation hero and fleet captain Garth of Izar made his name as a bane to the Klingon advances near the planet Axanar. So depending on where you start TOS (before or after Captain Pike of NCC 1701), it could be a candidate for late Pre-TOS.

What I personally don't agree with is that in FASA Trek the D-10 was supposed to be the Klingon threat to the pre/TOS Connies. The Klingons already had the D-6 and later the D-7 to counter the Federation Constitution class ships.

FASA lore aside, the D-10 is an excellent multi-role ship. It can be fitted to be a medium carrier, heavy troop transport or even a standard battlecruiser. Its not a supership and can use off the shelf D-7/K't'inga parts available in the Empire and if given a cloaking device, it adds an extra level of strategic options that FASA Trek never explored despite their heavy use of the Klingon-Romulan technology exchange treaty.

Although the FASA Trek universe makes this a pre/TOS ship, I prefer to make it a TMP era ship that was built either before the Excelsior class or as a direct response to it.

FASA Trek was very wacked when it comes to ships. Another shining example of inconsistent design is that the D-10 H has a non-torpedo armed L-9 Saber command pod and that was supposed to be an upgrade!!! I have a very hard time with non-torpedo armed ship-of-the-line Klingon ships.

Klingon Academy gave the Klingons Heavy Torpedoes as a racial weapon but even KA has some things that don't sit well with me either. Not every ship larger than a heavy cruiser in the Klingon Empire needs to cloak...

Now I have always held that FASA Trek can be just about dropped into the SFB timeline with little or no significant alteration to the SFB timeline. At least the SFB timeline tries not to contradict itself.

That is my opinion and your mileage may vary...

sorry, this is playtested now in SF2OP and i found that these damn drone weapons are to much overpowered in OP.

I got ill the last days so i didn't got to upload them, sh** influenca.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from the flu Terradyhne. The D-10 can wait.

thanx KF

i got to make some renders of the TOS D-10, the textures aren't completely done for it, they do need some weathering.

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #24 on:** November 01, 2009, 06:27:25 am »

I really want the TMP D-10.

As for the TOS one, I'd just remove all of the colors off of the hull.

I'm glad you are feeling better Terradyhne.

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #25 on:** November 01, 2009, 06:33:06 am »

I think what would be nice would be a similar Paneling affect used for the D-7 used in the Trouble with Tribbles Ds9 Episode
they took a d7 but added some panel lines Lightly so at a distance it would look all the same color but close up you would see the panel lines. I hope that your getting better from the flu.

Great work on the latest pictures by the way

That's a good idea. If you have a link for Atrahasis' version of the D-7 as seen in the DS9 Tribbles episode maybe I'll try that once the D-10 is actually released.

No i don't want to make a Trials and Tribbelations D-7 like version cause this is green and TOS Klingons are grey.

i eliminated the raised hullplating,changed the colors a bit and let it be only painted on the hull, hope thats better.

When I watched the episode the ship looked gray to me but its been quite a whiile I was speaking of the fine panel lines
that are shown on the ship not the ship color I agree the ship should be gray for TOS
