Star Trek unit preview thread

What Flamand and I came up with for the Planetary Defenses was that they are extremely expensive, but very good at protecting a planet. To keep them from popping up on every planet they will cost as much as a wonder. So will only be seen on well developed star systems. As it should be.:D

As for stats right now it will only have a very high defense, and no bombardment or attack. The reasoning for that is they are short ranged planetary defenses, not system or frontier defenses. So must not have a bombardment or attack.

The system works, as the Popup Turret I use in my Fallout mod does the same thing, and it is VERY effective in defending.;)



:nuke: Cheers Thorgrimm :nuke:
 
You should advertise all of your mods more because half of them I've never seen much on and all sound very promising....

Maybe some sort of mega thread called "Thorgrimm's many MEGA-MODS" (Which if what Wyrmshadow has told me is correct, thats exactly what they are.)
 
As far as I know Thor is working on three mods right now: the Fallout mod, the Battlestar Galactica mod and this one. With the important sidenote that BSG is Morpheus' mod and this one is mine... :)

PS: the Kameri fighter is almost finished... ;)
 
Yeah, he's a busy guy... :D

I guess there is no chance of you doing Trek away teams with this lurker thread you started...? :(
 
@SOG, yeah when I do a mod, I do it thoroughly right. For example, since Flamand slipped out some info I did not want out yet,;) the BSG Mod will be the 1000 Yahren War between the Cylons and the Colonials. And I am not helping with the Storm series anymore. Recon and I have our differences that cannot be worked out.

@Flamand, I decided to make my own mod for the BSG Mod, that way I can do it right.;) :D Sorry for taking your preview thread off track sir.:blush:



:nuke: Cheers, Thorgrimm :nuke:
 
Ooh...I REALLY like the animation on the Nebula! :cool:

And the Planetary defense shield looks perfect - but if it isn't gonna be an attack, what are the orbital satellites/energy discharge supposed to be?

...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't your "Orinoco Destroyer" the Cheyenne class?

The Cheyenne class

The USS Ahwahnee (As shown in the picture) was lost at the battle of Wolf 359, and is of the Cheyenne class. It bears more than a striking resemblance to your Orinoco Destroyer - a class I have personally never heard of.

If it's from the Starfleet battles game though, I apologise. I'm not gonna insult the game, Thorgrimm... :blush: :lol:

*Edit - reading it again, my post sounds more critical than I intended it to be. I love your models and your mod is gonna be excellent! Please don't be disheartened by my incessant nit-picking... :blush:
 
Ah... you know the correct name. I called it Orinoco because I found Ahwahnee a very unlikely name fo a starship class. I'll correct the name.

ps: there are plenty of other nameless ships on my hard drive. Get ready for some creative naming... :D

edit: the Cheyenne has it's proper name now... :)
 
@Matress, don't be gun shy. :lol: I love our debates on Trek, as they keep the endorphins flowing.:D Any input you give is REALLY appreciated. Even if we choose to disagree.;) I am sure Flamand will say the same thing. All input is most welcome.:)
As for the planetary defenses, even a defending unit has a combat ability, it is just short ranged. For example, the WW1 machinegun did not attack, but when defending was deadly. Same principle for the Def Sats. They do not go looking for enemies, but if you get within their range, expect a whoopin. :lol:


:nuke: Cheers, Thorgrimm :nuke:
 
Disagreements are what makes discussions fun... ;)

The Osaka destroyer and the Antwerp heavy cruiser (both names mine):

The Osaka destroyer and the Antwerp heavy cruiser (both names mine):

You can keep the names - I don't recognise the ships... :p :lol:

The Antwerp looks like a heavy variant of a Sovereign with a Prometheus secondary hull. (Prometheus Saucer section)

As a suggestion, perhaps the yellow torpedo/phaser pulses could come from the rollbar instead of below the ship? It would make the design just that little bit different, and show the rollbar is a functional part of the ship. Plus it would just look cool...not that I want to make more work for you, Flamand... :blush: ;)

The Osaka is different as well. It looks like a Enterprise-E era equivalent of a TOS-era Destroyer. :cool:
 
Good idea Matress... I'll see what I can do...

Edit: and here's the result... :D

Since TF made a bunch of new smilies available, I thought it was time to wipe the dust of my old ST smilies (except the last one of course... :))

No ships today, having a break...
 
Advice? On what?
 
I could do that...

BTW I guess there is no chance of you doing Trek away teams with this lurker thread you started...?
 
Yeah, the Antwerp looks even better now, Flamand. :cool:

I put the two files together to see how it looks. Hope you don't mind, Flamand.
