"DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!!!!".....just kidding

I thought I would post about these two ships I heard about recently, the Remora, and the Ranger. These are two excellent ships that seem to have sliipped under the radar, so I thought I would inquire as to what has happened to them.

First up is the USS Remora an excellent little ship that is one of the original FASA designs. Last I heard Sandman69247 was building her with Patafala doing the texturing. I have a couple of WIP pics so you have an idea what she looks like.

The next ship is the USS Ranger which is a kitbash of Skinman's designs, he was trying to find someone to do the name and registry of this ship, I don't think he found anyone. He also has several other ships that are very well done that need names and registries. Anyone who can do this drop him a line. (I would, but everyone would cringe at the result of my texturing job.)

Here is the pics of this beautiful ship.

As far as I know Skinman still hasn't found anyone to do the names and reges, and Sandman needs a replacement for Patafala since he is on extended leave for the forseeable future.

I'd be lying if I said I was promoting these two ships purely out of the goodness of my heart.

I really want these ships bad, and if you look at the pics you'll probably want them too.

niceeeeee. vert smooth and shiny.

but i have a question.. those phaser banks there... are they supposed to be pointing at those torpeto launchers? i dont know how effective that ship will be if it blows itself up. :P

I hadn't noticed that, that wouldn't look good on your starship captain's resume. On Sardate 8734.9, we had to make an emergency stop at Starbase 23 to replace torpedo bay blown off by our starboard phaser bank.

Well, good to hear that the Remora may eventually be released to the fleet and deployed. That other ship looks good too but I also see those phaser emitter sitting too close to those photon tubes and can only hope that the engineers in space dock can fix that or else there are gonna be issues!

HEHEHEHE

Finally... the Remora... After all those Starship Tactical Simulator battles... she's mine...

Bump for news on the Remora.

Sorry for my extended absence...power supply went blewy, while I was working on a model; all my files stored in MAX were corrupted when I replace the PS. Good news is, the Remora and texture blanks Pata made are safe. As we all know, my texturing sux, so if anyone is interested in doing the textures, e-mail me and I'll get it to you.

You should know that I'm going to help you on this one..

Pataflafla had specifically asked me to help before he left, so I'm offering..

Hoody Hoo! I can't wait to get my hands on that Remora!

Bump, hopefully Skinman will see this and respond. Atheorhaven, any news on the Remora?

Please Please Please.I have been waiting for the Remora for a LONG while.I hope that it will get done "soon".I'll wait a long time as long as I know it will get done.

Rogue NineCH · « **Reply #14 on:** May 31, 2003, 03:28:14 am »

Well hopefully he'll get you what you need soon. It'll happen, just remember one thing:

"IF YOU BUILD IT, WE WILL COME"

Alec, chk you hotmail addy...sent you link to the Remora stuff. Sorry about the delay...yes, Rl can really suck at times, lol.

Thanx for the help, as I just can't do this thing justice right now.

BUMP for completion news.

This is Remora is looking great!

This is MUCH better than the SFC1 version I have for the FASA to SFC collection!

Not a problem.. I got the file last night, but can't open the .MAX file (Max 4 and I'm still running Max 3.1). Can you do me another favor and export the .MAX as a .MOD and then fire over that to me in email? Save the .PSP files as .BMPs first in the same directory though, otherwise, the export might loose the mapping. :/

Rogue NineCH · « **Reply #18 on:** June 03, 2003, 03:23:23 am »

Let me know if he can't do it for you, I have Max 5 and I'll export it to .Mod Anything to help.

Can't wait to see this baby in my shipyards.
