Star Trek unit preview thread

[Flamand]

It is the Species 8472 bioship.

Wow, nice ships Flamand!

Are those the only minor race ships you've done so far? I'm sure Jigalypuff would let you have a look at his Vulcan models if you ask him.

 

[Flamand]

No I've done some more, just check the rest of the tread for previews. I PM-ed Jigalipuff my email address as he asked, but so far he hasn't sent anything...

The Doomsday Machine...

 

[Thorgrimm]

Flamand, that plugin works in Max 5 Woot!! So we can structure the fleets as we talked about on MSN.

As proof, here is the test render of the Andro BB.



Cheers, Thorgrimm

Flamand, Your unit very peculiar, are you designed by yourself? You how to make these flames?

 

[Flamand]

@ Throgrimm: great!! Now we can really start...
@ La_Dav: I did not invent it, you can find it here:

I made the flames as described in 3DMax tutorial 'guided missiles'.

 

[Flamand]

For some reason these guys are very popular among Trek fans.

 

[Thorgrimm]

Flamand, they look great, but the Gorn main weapon is the Plasma Torpedo, you know like the one in the episode Balance of Terror. The Roms and Gorn main weapons are the Plasma torp.

What are those 2?...Ive never seen em...

 

[Thorgrimm]

Spacer One, the one on the Left is the Gorn Light Cruiser, and the one on the right is the Gorn Heavy Cruiser.

[Spacer One]

Wow...I know OF them, but have never seen em...they look great...

 

[Flamand]

Is this what you had in mind?

 

[flamescreen]

Aha, Gorn, thought so...verifies something I was thinking about.
These are taken from a fan site, I don't think we've seen a Gorn ship actually.
Someone suggested to me at some point that they might do.

 

[Spacer One]

AHA...so Im not crazy?...these ships havent been "on screen"???

 

[flamescreen]

Not that I know of at least. But I haven't seen every episode of every series...(and especially ENT of which I've only seen 1st season).

 

[Flamand]

As far as I know these are purely fanmade, not canon. Thorgrimm gave me these models but I have no idea where they come from.

 

[Thorgrimm]

There has never been a Gorn ship on any ST episode. SO ANY Ship could possibly be a Gorn. These are based on the ship design used in Star Fleet Battles. A board game that has been going since 79.

Flamand, the Plasmas come out from the red tips on the small 'wings'. And the ones you have would make good Plasma f's, small plasma torps. The main Plasma weapons would be a larger fireball coming out of the wings.

As a suggestion, you could make attack a have one small plasma torp and one larger plasma torp coming out of each wing, and then attack B as the Phaser attacks.

On the rest of the Gorn models I have you can actually see the phaser firing points on the hull. That should help in figuring out where the phaser fire comes from.


Cheers, Thorgrimm

 

[Spacer One]

Wings?...as these are Star Trek, I assumned the "wings" were nacells, or something similar...

Great to look at so far...

 

[Thorgrimm]

Flamand, the pic will give you an idea of what I was speaking of. The white bumps are phaser points, and the Red Tips are the Plasma Launchers. Then the Blue circles near the rear are the shuttle launch points.



Cheers Thorgrimm
