It looks like the images with black background, Image Library - Federation, do not have model files in the Shared documents - 3D model area of SharePoint. It would be easy, even for a hack like me, to get the .png transparency image once we have the original model files to work with.

<Shifts eyes towards Jig and Fireball, PM sent>

Actually that helps. Now I can see at a glance in the image library what is built, will be built by others and, by deduction, what I can work on. Thanks.

Next question: Take a look on SharePoint in the Image Library for Klingons and tell me if you think I have the Battle Cruiser Sequence correct based on the ships we have available. 8O

This is the D7 Battle Cruiser II that I made from re-texturing the K't'inga Battle Cruiser III. (no school like the old school)

Looks nice

Question!!

I have converted orginal BOTF model of Romulan Outpost and Starbase in 3ds. Outpost models are already created by Kenneth. My sugestion is to rename Ken Outposts to Star Bases I and II and Botf models to Outpost I and II?? also Romulan Strike Cruiser is converted too

Very good idea. The textures on the original outposts were outstanding. I would suggest that you up the poly count on the originals though. That was the only shortcoming. Try to make it look less boxy and angular where you can.

The Romulan Outposts that I built can move over to the Dominion. It is loaded with Romulan insignia and will take some time.

The Romulan Starbases I have plans for. Now that the limit on poly count for bases is so high I want to work on those models better. The original game Starbases for the Romulans looked absurd to me. The mesh might be reworked to something better though. That could be a Dominion base or outpost.

Eventually we will run out of ways to move models around. Having two versions or more of something is not a problem ether. The devs can chose for themselves what to use. I will leave a copy of my version of the Romulan outpost on SharePoint as an alternative.

If we have mnore than one version of a model then just name them "version 1" and "version 2" etc. on sharepoint. That'll be the easiest way of showing they are the same model but just...different.

If you're going to remake the Romulan bases, keep the models from sites like battleclinic and games like Armada in mind. Those have some very good Romulany models that put the ones from BOTF to shame - and actually look like they are Romulan.

I put in Images and files for my Romulan Outposts
as R Outpost I V1 and R Outpost II V1.

New models for the same job would then be called
R Outpost I V2 and R Outpost II V2. We can use your
suggested version naming for all models in the same type
(on the shiplist) when they go onto SharePoint.

Thanks for all the nice pictures. That helps with all
bases and shipyards.

Romulan Strike Cruiser and Colony Ship-

i have remade the conestoga, the last mesh was on my old harddrive, just gotta texture it.

Excellent!!

I've added in your models to the shiplist, Zeleni. Nice conversions!

...

Jig, the Conestoga is looking different to your last version. The last version was more rounded at the front and didn't have the arm at the front. It's gonna look nice when it's textured.

i got a better ortho of it

Building Talarian Advanced Cruiser... early screens:

Hehe the bottom one looks a bit like the Space Shuttle. Thieving Talarians...

Huhh! Talarian Advanced Cruiser finished!

I have finally made a forum record - it seems the shiplist has finally gotten too big for its boots! 8O

I posted a pretty major update - as Zeleni knows. I've added in his image above, and I also added in a section for the alien entities, structures, and monsters. I also added in two more Borg designs.

Anyways, I clicked post...and found I had reached the size limit for posts and the entire of the new section was cut off! 8O

Unfortunately it seem Jig has tried to limit my power and restricted my admin access - so I can't increase the post size limits myself. I've sent him a PM and if/when the limit is increased, I will repost the update.

If this isn't possible, i'll make a new shiplist thread and chop up the shiplist into smaller chunks. (Eg. I'll post 7 starter posts in the same thread, one for each shiplist section)

I'd prefer it if Jig could increase the size limits though.

...

Good work Zeleni!

Nice ship Zeleni! MoE, I sent Nemitor an e-mail asking him about the post limit.

i`m not to sure which one it is lol, never had to do this before.

which one do ya reckon?

none of them

you want something like "Maximum Post Length"

most likely its hardwired in the code, but it shouldn't be too hard to find. I'll check the admin stuff first, and then check the code if I have time.

More good work there Zeleni.

(I am currently stuck in the epic battle I call real world wars. I hope soon to get back to the models I love.)

Hopefully someone will be able to make the posts longer. I will probably need at least double the current maximum by the time the shiplist is complete, because of links for the images etc. I doubt I will need to add in many more models, although I obvioously can't promise that.

...

Kenneth, we're all with you in the battle...although some are fighting less than others in this particular battle...

Can you tell which minor ship is this?

I do not know but I have to get me one. Very nice.

I have reworked the Romulan Starbase I to look like this.



I look forward to seeing if someone can come up with a alternate version of this. My version of Starbase II, base on this build, will come next.

Woah...interesting design, Kenneth, but I'm still not sure about the "heads". It just doesn't look...right to me. It would be a unique feature though, and is definitely recognisable as Romulan...it's difficult really. What do other people think about it? The rest of the station is pretty cool.

As a suggestion though, I'd make the spikes more substantial - make them into docking ports or put in some large docking doors for ships to get inside of the station - kinda like the Enterprise entered Spacedock in the films.

An alternative to the Dominion Orbital Battery, D Orbital Battery V2.

cool

Look at the teeth on that thing!

LETHAL!

Borg Sphere - Resistance is fun. Try some while you still can.
