Well....sorta like SCM_SFHQ_XC sig...

But I would like to base it on a Tholian BC, I would also like to use the real medals I received while I was in the Navy.

Possibly fighting in an asteroid field against the Kzinti's using web snares in-between some asteroids.

With a cool saying like "peace thru superior defense's" or "stopping the fight before it begins is the best way to win!"

Alright, I've blocked out a "Concept render" showing the bare essentials of the scene. Obviously it doesn't yet have a background, the asteroids, proper lighting, reflections, neato phaser effects or anything else aside from the ships and the web. The final render will be much prettier, I assure you.



I got my new harddrive tonight, so tomorrow's priority is sifting through all my files and organizing them so that I don't have to re-assign textures or when I bring in a new model. Also, this gives my an excuse to finish all the special-effects rigs I had dreamed up - phasers, disruptors, photorps, etc. Even got an idea for a rig for missile effects :).

that looks totally kool....

how can I send you some pics of a few ships (tholian) for your consideration?

do you think it might look better with the kzinti ship coming at you from ether say 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock with a pitch of say -15/-20 deg, roll of maybe +20 deg.

I will trust whatever you decide....

That is a tholian ship. Granted, its Atolm's design, so that may be why it is unusual. I haven't found any better quality tholian models out there, most of them don't have great texturing/design jobs. If you want me to use something else, I can, of course.

So basically, instead of having the camera "over the shoulder" of the kzinti ship, flip it around so it's over the shoulder of the Tholian?

here are a few more, the first one imagine a kzinti ship in the upper left all twisted like I suggested pointing down to the bottom right, then like in the second pic have a few webs locking the asteroids together using the outer points of the web..leaving the middle to be run into.

I kinda like that representation of a web... - the first one - the hexes ... (almost doable with the current engine... take the mechanism of the ppd... etc...)

I wonder how one could apply that feel to the plasma snare and hellbore textures? I saw a mod... I think CJ used it - a hellbore texture with a similar feel.

Not to really add to your to-do list. Just  brainstorming on future possible implementations and associated artwork.

Or maybe the esg effect would do as well?





 ;)  ;)  ;D  8)


(I should put these images in my own media folder here on the forums instead of in the oci images folder...)

I don't really know how to do this but I'll try to explane it...

since the web that is being cast is basically a large pulse of energy that slowly dissipates after 32 impulses / 1 full turn from the moment of the cast. I would think it might look like your picture...far right column second one down to start then say after two impulses it would fall into your far right column first picture or maybe even the third column last picture...just pulsating..

To clarify, the ship on the left in my concept render is a kzinti ship, the one on the right is the tholian.

So you want them spun between asteroids, not free-casted? no problem.

Bonk, If we ever do end up getting a tholian web device into SFC, I can definitely make textures for it :).

Yeah. That's the short version of what I was thinking. Sorry for the animated gif-a-thon there...  ;D Things prod my memory in funny ways. (I'll quit my thread hijack here - we've discussed the ideas in a million places.) (and yeah, flip it around for him, add a background and you're 75% there.)

That said, however, as a self-confessed former Thol... it is always most satisfying to watch Romulan plasma spin out in web.  ;D Oh yeah, we need Thols... but they'll have to have F&E style restrictions for game balance. Sorry, I ramble again...

NO!!!

Please don't mind me.....I'm learning every second you guys talk..here I am talking chapter and verse about web's and I can just see you guys rolling your eye's at me :o like you  don't know already  :-\

why were the other races not included in OP, or possibly an update down the road? now it's been a long long time since I played F&E, I never tried the revised edition....How are the tholians unbalanced?  :iamwithstupid:

did you guys or do you know any one in Texas...like Dallas back in the '80s..

I think the tholians were not added because they ran into problems getting the webs to work right in game.  Same with Andro's, probably problems with the displacement devices and hanger bays.

Hopefully we will try and fix that (down the road)
