[Flamand]

Thanks Supa, it works perfectly...

@Thor: Just type it in in Google a follow the first hit... Can you PM me your Yahoo ID?

 

[Thorgrimm]

Flamand, PM sent.



Cheers, Thor

Flamand, your "Litep freighter" looks like the Groumal.

The Groumal was a Cardassian freighter that first appeared in DS9. The model was subsequently re-used many times for different purposes.

There's a write-up about the various incarnations on ex astris scientia if you fancy a read:

The Groumal Write-up

 

[Flamand]

Yup, you're right... thanks for keeping me on my toes...

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Heh...I only thought of it coz Skeeter (One of the BOTF2 devs) made a model of it for BOTF2.

It's green coz he made it for the Klingons.

 

[Flamand]

Here's most of the Klingon first fleet: ?? battlecruiser, ?? heavy cruiser, ?? light cruiser, D4 frigate, ?? destroyer and ?? scout. Matress do you know the names...?

 

[Stormrage]

They`re cool!

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Well in BOTF, the Klingon ships were the:

Ll'Wl (Armed Colony Ship)
Charghwl' (Armed Troop Transport)
B'rel (Scout - Bird of Prey)
May'Duj (Destroyer)
K'T'Inga (Battle Cruiser)
K'Vort (Heavy Cruiser)
Vor'cha (Attack Cruiser)
Negh'Var (Strike Cruiser - a relatively weak ship - one of the biggest mistakes in BOTF as far as I care)

I don't know what most of your ships are, but some of teh BOTF names may be useful.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Is that the TOS era ships? I always thought the bird of prey design actually was given to the Klingons by the Romulans, so I was alittle confused at first when I saw a bird of prey design in the Enterprise era.

 

[woodelf]

Sweet Klingon ships. I'm dying to play this Mod!

 

[Flamand]

@Matress: thanks for the names, they will be handy.
@SoG: these are pre-TOS Klingons inspired by the Starfleet Museum of the Romulan War: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven.bacon/vintage_starships_menu.htm

I'll check for the names there as well, but I didn't want to rename them if I got it wrong. So I asked Matress first...

 

[Flamand]

I wasn't happy with the composition of the first Klingon fleet, so I changed it a bit to better suit the Starfleet Museum models.
Here are the B-10 battleship, the D-7 battlecruiser, D-4 'Predator' heavy cruiser, D-7A 'Painbringer' light cruiser, L-1 'Raptor' frigate, D-16 'Swiftwind' destroyer, K-17 'Death Stalker' scout and G2 freighter.

The Bird of Prey lookalike was out of place and will be moved to another era.

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Flamand, I don't know if you're looking for more help with those ships or if you consider them completed. However, Jigalypuff has also made a model of the Raptor class. If he hasn't already sent it to you, you might wanna ask him about it. You might be able to get some ideas from it/him...

Don't forget about the models from the Starfleet Command games either - if Thorgrimm hasn't mentioned it recently...

There's certainly gonna be models you could use there if you need more.

...

Incidentally, due to a lack of confidence on the BOTF2 site, Jigalypuff is now making his own BOTF2 - so there will be be two BOTF2's out!

He's already released a test GUI (Graphical User Interface) and has updated it with a new 2D map in a 3D box. (Sorta like the maps in the Armada games)

That's a lot more than can be said of Gavin's work. He won't even supply updates to his own team!

...Not that I want to slag him off for his hard work. We've heard a lot about it, but other than two screenshots there's been nothing to show us the progress he's made. He doesn't even log into the forums anymore.

 

[Flamand]

I think the first fleet is ok like this, betterthanyesterdayatleast. But if there are any more models missing according to your taste I'm open to suggestions. I'm not sure from what site Thor gets his models, maybe Starfleet Command...

I haven't heard from Jigalipuff since I sent him an email.

So cool to have 2 BotFs...

 

[Matress_of_evil]

That's weird...he's definitely received the email, coz he mentioned it to me.

Maybe he's just busy or is getting stuff ready for you?

I can't think of any ships that are "missing" at the moment, but if I do think of one, i'll let you know.

 

[sum_aar_jam]

Yo Flamand
Whats the ETA of the New Star Trek Mod? Just curious

 

[Flamand]

Long time from now, about around First Contact...

 

[monkeyman90000]

Found all these meshes really good meshes
http://trekmeshes.ch/

 

[Flamand]

yeah, that is a good site...

 

[Matress_of_evil]

Oh yeah, great pictures!

Now matress has a new background for his desktop...

Any word from Jig yet, Flamand? If not, i'll ask him for you. Just let me know what you want from him.
