Akula Class Refit

One of my long-standing favorites from the old SFC 1/KA days. Thanks to Atolm for the warp nacelle design:

I love the impulse engines.  Very sleek and sexy.  I might use those nacelles for some things I have in mind if that's alright with you.

I love the lack of side glows on the warps ,  :notworthy: It to me anyway allows the vert placement of the warps to make some sence.  Some tech rules say the glows are suposed to be connected. I dont know what to belive but what you got the best result so far i think.

It's SOOOO True.... Why do you think i've made more nacelles than I have borg ships? :P

Because there are more shapes to nacelles than there are for borg ships? ;)

Sweet looking model WZ.

Seems like it has more curves than the typical TMP model (Enterprise, Reliant, et all) but nonetheless a beauty. Akula's one of my favorite lighter ship classes as well.

Very cool, deadman.
I like the nacelle design a lot. Well executed.

Any chance of seeing what the torp bay looks like when its pointed at you?

EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't realize that it was up for download. I thought yuo were just showing of pics.

That torp bay is meant to house drone launchers as well, isn't it?

SENSE OF HUMOR ALERT: (CAUTION: Role play involved.)
 
Yawn! Another Flathead ship.

What does the SUPERIOR Klingon equivalent/counterpart look like?

No smooth soft curves on the warp engines of the more original KLINGON design.

Qapla'


Seriously, nice work as always WZ! I like this much more than a JJ version :)

It renders nicely.  I wish I could do special effects rendering.

The solution of having the traditional round TOS nacelle with the blue bussard housed by the TMP nacelle is the best meld between TOS and TMP I've ever seen, and it's subtle at the same time . . . awesome!

I don't think those are bussards, at least that's not what the textures for the ship said.

I wonder why then does the texture say it's the deflector.

Hah! Interesting solution to the lack-of-deflector thing - assuming he's not using a recycled texture for them.

Not to buggle anyone's day of joyriding in this thing, but I suggest you all re-download it. I had to fix some glitches in the damage point placement.

The torp launcher can house drones, I just wasn't obvious in showing that on the model.

Officially, the engines have mini-deflectors on the side-housings. Of course, that can be open to interpretation for everyone else.

Yes, KF, it is another Fed but rest assured, it will have plenty of adversaries to cope with...

What a great idea!

It is an interesting alternative to some of the TMP era deflector designs that are incorporated into the lower forward part of the saucer just above and forward of the navigational dome.

Can't wait to see what you crank out next.

I noticed the damage point placement on the model appeared to follow the lines of what a regular Akula would have.  Probably copied over from the previous Akula you made.

Nothing fancy was done to the renders, mostly just lighting and specular maps.

From where did you get this "official" information ??

I personally never liked the Akula as the photon launcher is way to big on this ship and the upper pylon looked to fragile to me.

I believe he meant officially as it pertains to his refit concept only.

I love the model WZ, but I just noticed something peculiar when I was playing the game. The phasers fire from the photon launchers!  :o

SFC3 and SFC2/OP uses reversed hardpoints: meaning what are heavy weapon points in sfc2 are phaser points in sfc3. Make sure you got the right MOD file for the version you are playing. WZ usually has a MOD version for each game in a directory somewhere.
