Nice work Jig.

Wow, very nice Jig. Even the colours look perfect!

Colour of the Keldon is good and should be the basis for all Cardassian ships. Good shape too. Well done.

Agreed.

Jig, only one Word: WOW

lol sorry about me going slow guys...
I am loaded up with school
Jig, keeping working on it, so far so good..

dont we all gate texturing

Named for the hero of cardassia, the damar strike cruiser, 4 torpedo tubes on the forward wings, and three in the rear. And two big ass phasers under the wings

Very interesting

It's Brown, not Yellow!

Nice one Jig, but I thought 'Strike Cruisers' had been done away with?

Good ship. I'm sure she'll be the last sight of many a Romulan commander.

ok how about this one?

Now jig u know I really like your models, but they have the tendency to be too brown

Looks good, which ship is it btw?

I like the model its cool Just stick your galor textures on (modified to fit) and shouldl look awsome.

@ftranschel thats just a generic texture, the ship is not quite done, i have yet to uv map the damn thing
@rigel, dunno you decide the class and name her

Looks like a light cruiser to me. Might be an escort as well.

more like this you mean

The base hull texture is alot better

If you dont go with ftranschel's suggestion of a light cruiser or escort, perhaps it could be a heavy cruiser, or the Cardassian equivalent of an explorer (I dont mean a scout by that ). As far as names, pick the ships designation, and I'll see if a name doesnt jump to mind.

Edit: also, do you have a particular 'era' in mind that the ship will be in (TOS,TNG, etc...). It looks like it would be somewhere around or after TNG times to me.

cardassias answer to the intrepid class, perhaps?

No, I don't agree Rigel: We have the three heavy cruisers:

- Galor (medium cruiser, the prefered cardassion ship)
- Ranor (Ãœber-class explorer, seen in ultimate mod)
- Keldon (heavy cruiser, it's basically an upgraded galor)

Thus, in my opinion it *should* be smaller as we have a recognizable sleek backbone of smaller cardassion ships apart from the famous Hideki.



No, that's something I would not like as it's primary hull is geometrically similar to an Intrepid

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Just because it kind oflooks lke an Intrepid, is no reason not to use it as a Card equivalent.

No, of course it's no real reason... it just doesn't _feel_ right to me

Perhaps that model could be used as the predecessor for the Ranor (like the Ambassador was the predecessor to the Galaxy).

To me it sorta could be if tweaked a tiny bit, a sorta cross between a definat/interpid varient but like the cardy version.

I think that's a good idea, Janusi.

If it was the predecessor to the Hideki, you'd see the design lineage then. They have a similar front section, the same 'backbone', and they also have the circle on top.

However, the Hideki has a more streamlined engineering section, with larger Warp Nacelles.

...

I like it when the ships suggest design lineages, especially for the other races, since the Federation obviously has so many.

Good work, Jig.

Great Job! I see it as a destroyer and as Janussi specualted a possible predecessor to the Hideki

You speak of aft launchers... does it actually mean firing arcs is in?

Those last 2 Cardassian ships are gorgeous.

The last one could easily be an Intrepid equivalent.

Thread has been trimmed and some posts edited. Guys please keep this thread on topic which is for the cardassian ships for botf2 ONLY. Cheers.
