Ok, she is done and ready for conversion.
Here is some information about the model...
Ship is actually 4 objects instead of one complete mesh...crew module and both warp nacelles/engines are separate objects connected to mesh, under poly group 3. This was done because I have already built the refit differences and this will make it easier to get the refit done, since I can just remove the group 3 objects.
She comes in at 5104 polys, no errors, properly scaled to the approx. size of the D-7. She has 3 texture sets, Diff/Glow and Spec in BMP format. I still cant make TGAs very good though I am working on that. This time glows are on the Diffs and the Glow maps as well, so there should be no illumination problems this time.
I also included a readme, which I will post here verbatum, and a plain house panel texture so you can make your own house symbol if you wish.
For weapons she has the front and rear torps, 2 medium range medium power cannons fore and aft in the wings, 2 medium range medium power cannons port and starboard on the dorsal deflector pod and 6 short range low power distruptor blisters with 180 degree arcs for close defense.
Her shields are about on par with a Ktinga, she has slightly weaker weapons but better coverage, better maneuverability but less armor. She should be a good match for a Constitution or Miranda but should be beaten by an Excelsior.
Here is her info...
KDF E-6 “maQmIgh” (Dark Omen) class Cruiser
Designed by Raven Night
RavenNight@Hotmail.com
In the Year 2270 the Klingon High Command ordered that a refit needed to be considered for the D-7 to keep it on par with modern mainline starships. The Ktinga rebuild was a result, replacing most of the D-7s in service by the next year. Morak, lead designer for the Ktinga refit also proposed the need for a lighter, faster cruiser to compliment the Ktinga and presented the D-6 for consideration. The design was rejected, but was later excepted after an extensive redesign, including a new warp nacelle design. Being the first ship to use the new “E” type STN series induction graf engines, the designation was changed to E-6 and entered service in 2295. IKV certification was granted the following year.
The ship is reported to be in the same class range as the Ktinga, and has higher maneuverability and speed. The vessel is reported to slightly weaker than the Ktinga in armor and weaponry, but has better overall weapon coverage.
This vessel has a single torp launcher aft and fore, 2 medium range disruptor cannons fore and aft, 2 port and starboard medium range cannons and 6 very short range defensive disruptors located in key positions on the hull (3 Dorsal, 3 Ventral), mainly used to defend against drones, small vessels and torpedoes.
The ship has 4 hangars, one main hanger aft that contains one small drop ship and 1 fighter, one cargo hangar aft ventral and 2 aft-facing bays, one on the ventral crew module and one on the dorsal crew module with 1 shuttle each. Like the D-7, this ship can carry ground troops, up to 75 maximum.
This vessels main strength seems to be speed, compared to the Ktinga. The vessel also has better overall weapon coverage, but its lighter armor and weaker weapons make it more difficult for this vessel to attempt to match capital vessels.
This vessel is reported to be on par with the early Mark 2 Ktinga class cruisers, circa 2270, but is inferior to the improved Mark 3 Ktingas from 2340. Mainframe upgrades are already slated for this vessel over the next 80 years, with a total expected useful operational age of 120-140 years. A refit in 2360 added more powerful engines, better armor and crew expansion, and a Dominion war refit in 2374 was a vast improvement, adding more powerful long range disruptor cannons, extended sensor capability and improved power generation.
