Well, I just guessed what forum you were talking about. Anyway yeah those are my ships, I also do low-poly modeling and those can easily be lowered into an acceptable ranger of polies for SFC. However I have no experience modding SFC so I don't know how to do conversions or anything like that. But, I'll wait to hear what you guys think.

i looked at the locations of u ppl because i usually like knowing whos from where but ... I know theres a town/city(?) called seattle somwhere but what country does WA mean? Kansas, for example, isnt it in america, never heard of "Wichita"... bothers me... maybe because its like 04.30 lol

It sounds more like it's 4:20 for you Mackie.    




Seattle is in Washington, far northwestern state in the US.
Wichita is in Kansas.  Kinda in the center of the country a bit west of the Mississippi river.

America is divided up into 50 states, each of which governs itself to a degree. Each state has several cities in it, including a state capitol. The state Seattle is in is called Washington, which is in the far north western corner of America. Hope that clears it up.

Yep, that's a Sparrowhawk on Module K. It's sort of a wierd rendition of it, but it's still a cool painting. Anyway, I used schematics as well as models from fleetdock 13 for reference. I also look at Anduril's Sparrowhawk.

I mentioned it because yours is really close to it. I like the way the leading edge of the wings and lower half
of the hull *blend down* without any vertical leading edges. I hope i'm describing this well enough for you to
be able to figure out what I'm saying
Looking at your posts on Sci-Fi meshes, I guess you're going to do a whole lot of SFB Meshes and a web site.
I hope you do decide to do some low poly stuff for the game. We need more TOS/SFB modelers IMHO. As far as
converting them goes, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding help. Anyway, nice work

yeah, it wouldn't be a problem redoing these as low-poly meshes. Hell, it would make texturing easier. I'll do some low poly meshes and post them, and you guys can see what you think.

I love your ISC cruiser.  If you were to say...make all the classes it would save me going back through fleetdock13's!

Thanks Anduril. I don't think it would be too hard too make all ISC ship classes after this one. All their hulls are so similar in shape, all it takes is a little tweaking/rescaling of components and redoing some textures. Maybe I will be saving you that trouble.

I just went and took a fresh look at the meshes. Like them all. Love the Kzintis  
The ISC and Pirate raider are real nice too.
How much detail will you loose when you drop the polys to about 5K? I assume that's about
the level they have to be to be reasonably playable in SFC.

Seattle is in Washington State (WA), north western USA

Wichita is in Kansas (KS), Central and just east of mid USA

go to mapquest.com and enter city and state and it will bring up a map for you of the USA with the city marked for it's location.

Hope that this helps

Back on topic.. the meshes look fantastic...
