Thanks for the offer of help. I am nearly done with the polygons for the Outpost Uno but still learning how to 3d model. When the model has some skin I will post it for review and suggestion.

It will be easy to make the progression larger and more complex in going from outpost I to II and Starbase I and II. You are welcome to the Starbases if you still want them.

What I am not sure about is what happens if you put my big bad Starbase next to some other guy's scout ship in the game and the scout looks larger? Is there some way to know in advance about an absolute size scale to build them in? Are they resized before they are installed in the game to make sure the Enterprise C that Fred built is smaller than the Enterprise F submitted by William?

Ignore scale mate, jig or mike will alter them all personally to be in proper scale.

Thanks. I am running on impulse power for now but the next project will go faster. Let's just hope I can live up the high standards set by Trashman and all the other models so far. 8O

as long as it looks romulan enough it's no problem.

Post a pic of the mesh (untextured) so we can see it.
And don't you worry, it can allways be spiffied up later with more detail and stuff-

Oh, I was just struck by inspiration and made this:

A super-warbird of a sorts. I still have to work on it, especially the central body and the head

The only "super-Warbird" we have in the shiplist is the Valdore - and we obviously already know what that looks like. It can't be a Warbird either coz we already know what the D'deridex looks like and Dafedz has already built the D'Voronir Warbird 1. We'll have to use it as another model, Trashman.

How do these classes sound?:

HEAVY DESTROYER
-D'Xokra Class TECH 11

BATTLEHAWK II
-D'Drexon Class TECH 8

BATTLEHAWK III
-D'Idricon Class TECH 11

...

I added in your shipyards, Trashman. Don't forget, a small shipyard builds 1 ship, a medium shipyard can build two ships, and a large shipyard can build four ships - so IF we're going for realism (I'm not saying you have to) the medium and large shipyards will need additional structures attached to them to show this, rather than a single, larger gantry for the larger models.

Any bird that has hawk at the end of it is OKAY in my book! lol

I did that more in a attack of inspiration rather than a focused ship for hte shiplist. We may end up using it for an expansion...

anyway, take a look at this design:
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/fi ... PTNG;42580

This is supposed to be some older Warbird design, as old as the Ent-C approximately.

Hmm...it looks like it is "stunted" - almost as though the ship was designed for greater speed and manoeuverability, rather than the pure offensive power of the standard D'deridex. To me, it looks more like it is a variant rather than a whole new class of ship.

If we used this ship, we could set it that it has extra rear-facing weaponry compared to the standard D'deridex, (To account for the unusual shape of the rear of the ship) we could make it faster, and we could perhaps give it a slightly better Cloaking device than the D'deridex because it is smaller - and therefore easier to Cloak.

It would be good if you could have these ships as a mod though, Trashman. The game is going to be moddable, so why not start making your own mod?

Got to admit ! that is a wicked looking bird no matter how old it is!

Guys, i've posted a MASSIVE update to the shiplist - i've completely overhauled the minor race ships (Orange section at the bottom) so it now includes all the designs that are in Dafedz's database - that's SIXTY-ONE MORE SHIPS THAT NEED MODELLING!

Have fun, modellers...

Under the Romulan ship list the image url link for the Outpost II is broken. I have updated the image and the only thing that appears to be wrong is that the first letter in Outpost2rom.jpg should be capitalized. At least that is all I can see at this point.

Thanks for the update on the ship list. I better get up to speed soon so I can turn out more quality with speed.

Ah...it wasn't a typo, Kenneth, I made a mistake in the image tags - if you read it, you could see that the title was included in the link.

Basically, I was telling the site to display the link as a name - without actually specifying what that name was! *ahem*

As an example, i'll use the link for the forums:

http://www.botfii.armadafleetcommand.com

The link is displayed as-is.

However, if I add in the url tags around the link, then DELETE the first close bracket ] sign of the tags (So url] becomes url= ) then add in a close bracket sign ] after the url and type in the name that you want for the link, you will get a link that has whatever name you want:

Armadafleetcommand
The Trek Site
All I WANTED For Christmas Was This

The mistake that I made was that I added in the equals sign, I just forgot to put in "KennethGF's Romulan Outpost 2".

I also forgot to do it for the Outpost 1.

Anyways, both links are now fixed. I can't promise they link to the right thing...but they're fixed.

I see some models listed on page one that are not on Sharepoint. Do we need to make an effort to find these people and their models? Is there any way to do that or do we just have to hope they pass through the solar system again in a few year? Guess we will have to rebuild some. That mean we have to use Sharepoint as our real model list?

I would like to assimilate this ship please.


FEDERATION
COLONY SHIP II
-Edwards Class UPGRADE TECH 4

Please put me down as doing this ship.

In other news:
Romulan Starbases are complete. Gorn ships are on hold while we concentrate on completing the major races.

What is policy about ship models? Only models created here will be used?

Cause I have Bajoran Fighter, Ferengi Marauder, Voth Ship, Orion Peregrin Ship models..... of course non of them isn t my work

I have no qualms with using models from other sources, provided we are permitted to do so under each model's license.

So it ok, I will upload few models

Have a look through the shiplist on this thread Zeleni - my first post on the first page - and find a ship class that seems to fit the model that you have. Rename the files so that these match, upload them to sharepoint, then let me know what designs you have so I can update the shiplist.

It would be nice to have some images of your ships, (Editor screenshots or renders, it doesn't matter) but images aren't essential.

Ok, I will upload them tonight with images...

New image of Tholian ship from STARTREK.COM

I have just started to work on the

Federation
COLONY SHIP II
-Edwards Class UPGRADE TECH 4

but wanted to make sure that it is not already made or available elsewhere before I get too far along.

If it's not in the list, then i'm 99% sure it hasn't been made - unless we're going to use the models from BOTF. Actually I'll ask about that one.

Thanks. If we will use some from the original game it would be nice to establish that now. I am hot to build but waiting for a clear target.

I heavily doubt we're usin any models from botf cause they all are kind of "scrambled" in modern Z-buffer-Engine-driven 3D-programming times. (clear? )

as far as my understanding goes they are pretty useless unless one rebuilds the old botf engine exactly..

Malle has right about original models .... it would be good to have at least original ship textures to make modelers life easier. I m courious about this Matress shiplist, these models ( finished ) are stored somewhere (net) or they are on hard drives of their creators? if they are on hard drives I supose many of them are lost...

Matress I tried to upload Bajoran Fighter model but I had sharepoint problems with zip file! ( I tried trough IE and office 2003 maybe office is to old I don t know)

you don't need office. Just use explorer view there instead of Documents view and copypaste your files on the site. Goes a lot faster!

Thats fast now! tHX Malle

Ok Matress, Bajoran ship uploaded... also with image so you can update your shiplist database....

As far as I know you CANNOT upload zip files to sharepoint - I've tried a million times and sharepoint just won't accept them.

The models are all being stored by Jig - as long as people sent them to him in the first place. It will be up to him to upload them to sharepoint since he is the one that has them.

Matress, take a look here: http://www.botf2.com/bote/Shared%20Docu ... Planets.7z or here http://www.botf2.com/bote/Shared%20Docu ... _V1.05.zip

sharepoint accepts anything. might wanna try do it my way with the explorer view

Nice building editor!
