Star Trek unit preview thread

[Matress_of_evil]

Thanks for the info guys.

I had a look through starfleet-museum, and whilst there are some nice designs there, there are also some wierd ones.

Cow Tanker anyone?

Cow tanker...sorry, I mean the reid Fleming class...



I'm assuming that one isn't in the game, right?

 

[Flamand]

You mean this one? (Your link didn't work)

Who says there is no humor in Star Trek...?

 

[Thorgrimm]

@Flamand, I hope your 'laziness' doesn't keep us from finishing the mod.

@Matress, yeah some of the Rom ships are funky looking, but that site has developed a background of the Pre-TOS era far above anything else I have found on the net. And Mr Okazaki was kind enough to let us use his information on the ships and technologies. So most of the Pre-TOS techs and ships will be coming from there.

In regards to the tanker called the 'Cow', in WW2 the Germans called their refueling submarines 'Milk Cows'. So now you know where the name came from.



Cheers Thorgrimm

In my infinite laziness I finished another 4 ships today: I give you the Pioneer, the Torsk, a resized Krechet and are sized Conqueror. All the ships resembling pharmaceuticals are finished now...

 

[Spacer One]

are these all older Federation ships?...they do in fact look pharmaceutical...precursors to the Oberth?...

 

[Flamand]

These belong to United Earth, the precursor of the Federation.

 

[Quinzy]

oooo. those are beauties of ships. well done again

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Yeah Flamand, that was the ship.

Sorry the link didn't work, I didn't realise hotlinking to it was restricted.

If you're resizing these early ships, does it mean you will have to eventually resize ALL of them?

I sure hope not... :shakehead

 

[Flamand]

Oh no, just three of them that were way too big...

 

[Flamand]

And finally the Moskva class... 5 units today, another sign of modding too much?

 

[Quinzy]

no. keep going. more, more.
must.. make it.. too... ten...

 

[Flamand]

This is one of my favorites and thanks to ZDarby's model it is finally included: the D'Kyr...

ps: it seems the shuttle makes a little jump between the different animations. I'll try to fix that later...

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Wow, that is a really cool model Flamand!

If I had to mention one thing, it would be to ask why the two sets of weapons are different colours? The singular beam is pink, whilst the twin beams are blue. From what I remember of Enterprise, Vulcan weapons are green in colour. This is just a nit pick though, and I might even be wrong.

Anyways, the jump in the support ship is a jump in its size.

Looking at it, i'd say it starts off being too small. Once it takes off, it looks like it is sized properly. Whilst it is actually docked with the ship though, it is too small. The jump in size occurs in frame 41.

 

[Flamand]

The yellow (green?) beam is a particle beam (see pic), the other ones are high energy lasers (hence blue).

The change in size is an illusion I think as the ship is closer too the camera, but you may be right... I'll check it out tomorrow.

 

[woodelf]

Wow Flamand. Great units. Can't wait to see them in action.

 

[ZDarby]

Flamand: Like what you've done... Looking forward to more.

 

[Matress_of_evil]

So has anything else been done lately?

I've been watching and waiting for any updates, but no-ones posted in two weeks!

...I hope the mod hasn't died...

 

[Flamand]

No worries... plenty more stuff to come...

 

[flamescreen]

No worries... plenty more stuff to come...

Would be silly for a mod with so many units and stuff already made to die.
Vacations surely rings a bell for most of us.

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Well of course they do - it's just that i've sorta gotten used to the little community on the BOTF2 forums.

We know when people are going away and where they will come back because they post about it. I sorta expected people to be saying stuff like that here.

Of course, I can understand you guys not wanting spam here, so i'll wait with baited breath...just don't make it too long...I can't hold my breath forever!
