Looking for some kick-ass Federation fighter models . . .
« on: November 14, 2009, 12:44:54 pm »
Lookiing to pimp-out my game, possibly add them to the SGO mod.   Low-polly is a must as we're using SFB fighter counts (24 on a CVA, ETC . ..).  Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Diehard,
My fighters are 400, 490, 536, and 522 triangles (for broadband it should be fine, we can run some tests if need be). I can dumb them down just a smidge more, but not by much. (just to let you know, the stock fft is 332 triangles)

You already have thu11s' custom F-14 and F-15 models (which is 188 and 194 triangles respectively), but there is also an F-111 at his site that has the same look as the stock fft. I know F-111s aren't in the game, but it'd be a good heavy fighter (A-10 and what not).

Most other fighters that have been made are TNG/VOY styled, not TMP. (there's a few TOS styled ones but I never liked them).

You know, we could probably use some bomber models too.

What module can I find them in, and I'll see what I can do :-)

Bombers are slightly larger heavy fighters, ground-based for the most part.   Knda like PFs.   They're in Module J2.

t00l, I guess we'll be seeing these suckers on planet assaults, it's the next thing we need to think about as I think we've got base-battles figured out.  Dizzy defense Platforms can work as PDUs.

A quick bomber bash made from my F-111. Needs to be reunwrapped in the places where it's stretched, but that's the concept.


Edit: Changed the Proportions of the bomber's wings and scaled down the nacelles so they aren't fraking huge

I'm not content on the bases until we try Fed and Rom as attackers.

(Sorry Fo, didn't mean to hijack.)

P.S, those models look frakking cool!

No worries - better to get the discussion in somewhere than not at all.

EDIT: They are on my site (except for the bomber, since I just started that 5 minutes ago, lol)

Those fighters are perfect, absolutely perfect.   I sense the size of the DH123 folder growing . . .

I got PFs and now an interceptor, too ;)

Okay, Finished the bomber (with alternate textures, too).

I'll have them on my site either soon, or tonight when I get home from work.

Those suggestions work perfectly, the models kind of remind me of the Transformers Autobot that was a plane.

:) thats because the design of that transformer was lifted from Macross/Robotech, which is where I got all these designs from.

CRAP! if you downloaded it before this posting, grab it again, I found a UV error on the bottom side. It is now fixed.

Given enough time, yes  - I planned on making a light and heavy fighter for each race, plus a PF and possibly an INT. A bomber on top shouldn't be hard.... How much do you care if I take my own liberties with it?

DH: feel free to include any of my models into any pack you make - just keep the readme intact.

EDIT: oh, and make sure you stroke me ego enough - that always helps ;)

How much do I care? Not a lot. My main thing is racial flavor, so I'd say if you stick close to the SSD you're probably on the right track.

I like to see lineage, like Fighter > Heavy fighter > Bomber > Heavy Bomber. But that's just a personal preference.

where can I find these ones by thulls you mentioned at the beginning?

Also, riker has a fighter that goes with the interceptor class..and someone else (was it achilies?) did an interceptor witha  fighter I have it (same fighter riker did..not sure which is of better quality) but they are both low poly. The Fighter looks more voyager era.
