Star Trek mod - The Next Generation!

[Mentat]

Hi again, I am back from vacation and will try to be of help with anything I am capeable to do. huh, I do remember I wanted to do quite some stuff, to add a little to the game. I guess it will be the best to go through my notes, ... notes, ..., hmm, ...., ok I got 'em.

What has been going on so far Flamand?
I see you are bravely working on the new ships, and I am really looking forward on them .

 

[Flamand]

Hi Mentat, really glad to see you again... I didn't do much for the mod last couple of weeks, but I studied 3D modelling instead. The result is my first unit (see my sig), which is quite succeeded if I may say so myself.
So now I started working on the Surak class, which I wanted to have for a long time. You can find it in the preview thread...

 

[Mentat]

Wow, nice work if I may say so, it seems you really got some skill at making the units.

I will try to sort out, some of the ideas that I had and will try to make everything ready for the new ships that you have posted in the thread.
I got to love the Surak class, when its ready.

I just realized that you might have forgotten to add the romulan warship model from the latest series "enterprise" to the unit request/preview list.

I was thinking of a cool map that could take place during the human/romulan war, or even earlier, when the vulcans were at war with the andorians, .....

Well, I will need some time to get into the mod again, but I plan to help as much as I can.


Btw. I found a Bajoran Solar Sail, made by Orthanc. I guess this could be of use.

And now I realized, that it was requested by you , anyhow a nice addition.

 

[Flamand]

I would need models for those units then and I'm afraid they are not available
No Andorians orold Romulans found...

 

[woodelf]

Downloaded it, played it, and got very, very confused. This is my first space Civ MOD and it took me forever to get oriented.

Looks pretty and once I get my strategy down I'm sure I'll lose many hours on it. Nice job so far.

 

[Flamand]

Great! Let me know how it goes for you, ok?

 

[Flamand]

I have a bit of a problem with the first couple of Federation units. At the moment the first reconnaisance unit is the Valiant class (left), but it uses the Defiant animation (as in USS Valiant, the upgraded Defiant class). Unfortunately there are no meshes of that ship and it is still a bit complicated for me to create it from scratch; The XCV-330 mentioned ealier in this thread would be much easier to make...
Furthermore I have trouble finding anything about the Mars/ or London class, which is supposed to be a transport ship. It was in the original ST mod and I never bothered to look it up. For now I propose using the DY-100 instead as an early transport, which can be upgraded to the Typhoon in the TNG era...

 

[Mentat]

Well, I see your point Flamand, the image of the valiant class is not much to build on, ...
So the XCV-330 sounds fine to me, I see no problem there

For now I propose using the DY-100 instead as an early transport, which can be upgraded to the Typhoon in the TNG era...

Sounds good to me either, though the Norkova Freighter would be a good variant aswell.

Btw. thanks for the link to the xls. file, I must have overread it repeatedly.
I'am going through the shiplist now, thinking of possible alternatives where needed, not without searching the web for resources though .

I am still a little confused with all the things I had in mind for the mod, but it starts to reapear now, piece by piece.

 

[la_dav]

Discover that you are that one can continue your unit and MOD to the strong of person pleasant surprise, I and the friend of our home expect your works very much! Because this is the good thing of worth-while expectation!

Nice work on this mod.I downloaded it and played as fed and borg.I hope that mod will be finished soon.It would be nice that all minor races have one or two unique ships. Great work!!! keep doing it.

 

[Mentat]

@Flamand

I have been working on the .xls file, but had less time available then I hoped, so its not finished yet.

UFP, Romulans and Klingons are done, though not the ship stats, which I'd like to do quite strictly after the Daystrom Institutes data.

Research has become pretty difficult on not availaible stuff like stations for the Romulans and Klingons and more shuttletypes for those races.

The only station for the Klingons I found is the S.D.S. that orbits Tyko'Gor.
For the Romulans and for the other Klingon Stations we might check, if its possible to use the meshes from BOTF. I might aswell ask the makers of BOTF2, what they have in stock so far.

With the Shuttles I fared a little better and finally came up with the idea to make the first two shuttle categories normal shuttles and the MK3 would be some type of Attack Shuttle(ship)
UFP -> Shuttle Type 3, Runabout/Deltaflyer, Peregrin class
Klingons -> none yet, Toran class, K'pak class
Romulans -> none yet, Long range warpshuttle, Scorpion class

Well, I changed some of the necessary techs and eras too, since some ship classes(klingon) were located in the wrong eras.

Give me a few more days and we shall have a reasonable shiplist, including all stats and so on. I am away now until at least Monday, since I am going to climb on a mountain in the southern alps, but I will continue to work on the list as soon as I am back. I honestly thought, that I would finish the list in an hour or two, but that was quite naive.

 

[Flamand]

Wow, seems like I asked the right guy to take care of the background research... I look forward to getting the full list, so I finally know how much unit making work I'll be facing...

Have a nice mountain trip, the Alps must be lovely this time of the year...

 

[Apropos]

wow, i just found this thread, after having visited the 0.7 thread many times. and i must say i'm excited to try this mod, i've been looking for the continuation of the .7 for a while, and i'm glad i finally noticed the link to this thread, thanks a lot for all your hard work and i look forward to trying it out and seeing what else you do with the mods, thanks a lot!

 

[Mentat]

Oh well, I am alive and back to work

Sorry for the weeks delay of my return, but my mountain trip became quite troublesome, not talking about the weather in the afternath of our failed tour.

Besides that we had to sit in a hut at an altitude of 2570m for 3 days, we never got a chance to go up the mountain top since heavy rains and even snow didn't allow it. In the aftermath we were quite locked up in the valley for some more days, since the heavy rains caused several rivers and rivulets to mow down houses, streets and anything alike in the area.

I will try to post the list today/tonight, whenever its ready.

In the meantime the only thing I can say is, "Gratulation on your new shipdesigns Flamand"!

Mentat

 

[Flamand]

Sad to hear the mountains haven't been very relaxing for you... Glad to have you back safely though...
The First Federation units are finished and ready to be posted, and only some basic work is needed for the Crystalline Entity and the subspace distortion. I'll try to post all of them tonight, or at the latest tomorrow...

You are the man Flamand

ps.: I will dare to ask for the BOTF2 meshes today, but don't expect too much
since I am no part of that project, just a simple forum member.

Umm, how do I say it best, they agreed on this, but please read in the following thread, what I offered them for this.
http://www.botfii.armadafleetcommand.com/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=628
Basically that we give them credit for every fictious ship type and model we use in our Mod and that we also promote BOTF 2 in this thread and the Mod.
I found this a fair offer.

To read the Forum thread, you might need to be a member of it, though I am not sure.

how about the k-7 space station for the klingons (trouble with tribbles)

Great job! The offer sounds good to me... Please make sure the available ship models are in 3DS or MAX format, or it will be quite a challenge for me to convert them... If they're interested I could give them some of my meshes in return, under the same conditions of course...
I didn't see any meshes on that site though, but maybe I should look again tomorrow.

Wasn't that a Federation station? Guess I'll have to look it up...

 

[I am the Future]

DL a while ago but why have vulcans out of the federation?

 

[Flamand]

Because the mod starts at First Contact and to give me the chance to add some of those cool Vulcan ships...
