Old Ship Suggestions

[lint]

dont worry about it ,
Ill just keep fiddling until i get it right or someone is able to help,
ones bound to happen eventually,  :lol:

Beautiful Nova Class you got there lint!! 70k polys doesn't sound too bad... would love to see that one for BC.

Now here's my suggestion for a nice re-texture of an old ship..... now please no one gag or laugh, but how about p81's Sovereign?

I have several different Sovvy mods in my BC installs. And of course there's no denying that CG's is by far the best. But I have to admit that I have a special place in my heart for p81's Sovvy... as bad as it is.

It was one of the very first mods that I installed and I couldn't believe (as a noobie that is) how much better it seemed to be than the stock Sovvy so, I still have it and occasionally play with it for old times sake.

[lint]

the only problem with the p81 sovy is that no matter how much you kick arse at texturing i think the model itself would hold it back, but im checking out every ship mentioned so it would only seem fair i have a look at this one as well

[Shion]

There's Lots of unique ships on BCfiles that have less than stellar textures.

here's one, the Dignity Class.

or a decent Retexture of the Achilles Class.
     or
Cleeves Eximus Class:
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Eximius_Class;2609
     or
P81's Alita Class:
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/P81Alita_Class;4100
     or
Michael Rabb's Ray Class:
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Ray_Class;49840

and many more.  Whichever one you pick, I look forward to seeing the outcome.

[lint]

im actually gonna pick a few, Uss Equinox is definatly one, i have already started it

Nighthawks Sovereign/Nebula Hybrid:

lol, and you call that a ship?

who did that piece of junk?
oh, wai--

 :lol:

nah, don't bother, it's not worth it really.

BTW, who did that nova? looks very smart....

[lint]

that Nova was done by a Mr Mike Wright,
That Mesh is a few years old now, it was created in max 2.5, The Trek 3d Modelling Community is'nt what it use to be anymore, its becoming more difficult to find good quality Trek Meshes,
Alot of the guys who did them have either stopped doing it or dont bother releasing them anymore, And alot of the good sites that use to host them have closed down ,

But the nova im working on atm is going to be something special, im taking elements from that 3d model and applying them to the lb nova to create an awesome version

The Curry and Raging Queen definitely need a little loving. And please, do not use BCmod to package them!

[Weasel]

I'd like to see an updated New Orleans, Soul Wolf, Sabre, and as mentioned above, the Eximus.

[Bones]

As for the texturing work on those ships I could handle it but someone else would have to take modelling part, I'll look on those ships and see what can be done about the texs

I've looked onto one of my favs the eximus and I think I can retexture it to look almost as good as CG Sov 

[lint]

I did a re-texture of queballs Sabre awhile back but never actually released it  :?

[Bones]

Also I ciould give a try to Achilles class and Prometheus 

[lint]

i have a cgi prometheus,
But im kind of sick of Fed ships atm, thats why im doing klingon ships, haha.
I have a cgi K'tinga im gonna start a thread on today...maybe ;)

[yanlou]

howz about the fek'lhr class kling ship, to go with ur awesome vorcha and neghvar

[Sandtrooper]

howz about the fek'lhr class kling ship, to go with ur awesome vorcha and neghvar

If that is the ship from Armada 1, I'm gunna want to see that rebuilt too...SFC III mesh is bland plus they got it a bit wrong also...

[yanlou]

yer its from both armada and sfc3, its the equivilant of the nebula for klingons, i think its a nice ship myself, and it is due for a rebuild

[Billz]

Also I ciould give a try to Achilles class and Prometheus 

Seconded. But if you do retexture a Prometheus, please do the MVAM one that comes with MVAM v2.
There have been great Prometheus ships released since them but they have all lacked the ability to use MVAM which was a real shame. If you retexture the MVAM Prometheus, I will give you a cookie every hour for a whole day. Most likely sunday since thats the only day I get off. Too bad users can only give cookies once every hour. LOL.

Then you better start preparing those cookies  I just looked on to MVAM Prometheus textures and this should be walk in the park

yep the mvam prom HAS TO GET A FACELIFT^^

[Billz]

If you redo the MVAM Prommie, is there any chance you'll make new HPs aswell? The current HPs for the single model and 3 seperated models are kind of a bad mess.
