Looks good enough for film DJ

Incredible job with the specs!

great job please lets see an orthographic view :eek

check out the link a couple pages back.

also, the ship's in game with a placeholder HP. damages beautifully and looks shiny. only thing is that I can't get the transparent bussards to work.

The ship is really taking a life of it's own(she's so beautiful :'( ). One thing though DJ, the specular patterns on this area looks a bit..

....awkward. ;)

Other than that, she's definitely worthy of the name Enterprise.

Somehow I had a feeling that was going to be a problem.

So what's the problem, exactly?

And I don't see anything "awkward" about the specs?

The plating doesn't follow the shield grid. Just not conventional, that's all. It won't be changed because in order to fix it I'd have to redo that area of mesh, then remap, and retexture the whole area.

I think it might also be cos the speculars are mirrored. I have to admit, it does look a little...disconcerting. Apart from that, she's awesome

lol. disconcerting? who's to say it's not just supposed to be designed that way? ;P

You see, now that I've gone hyper, I'm convinced I can see numerous devil faces. And other assorted smiley's.

awesome ship DJ
cant wait to try her out

I'd have liked to have seen her in her bluey white but thats just me

great ship

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #590 on:** December 14, 2009, 11:47:17 PM »

holy moly. was doing some impulse experiments with the ship. Got it up to 39.7 million KPH. Belaruz fades away pretty fast.

Or, ironically, about 1/5th impulse.

HP is underway. Being modified from the Century Class in order to help me make the ship reasonably superior, but not overkill.

Here are a couple of in-game shots in DeepSpace.

Lionus · « **Reply #592 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:10:14 AM »

It's worthy of big E alright.

Big, beautiful, majestic, yet promises strength and safety from any external force, be it spatial anomaly or enemy vessel firing at it..

And I volunteer yet again for the beta.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #593 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:42:04 AM »

Thanks Lionus. Glad to here you think she's worthy of the name.

HP is coming along. I have begun the rather arduous process of arming the ship, and her two aft phaser arrays are now armed. I spent a great deal of time this evening creating a new phaser texture and sound pack. I also tweaked the color and texture speeds about a dozen times and now have an effect that I think is really gonna blow you guys away when you see it in action.

In the meantime, here's a screenie from phaser testing. I've seen the evolution of phasers go from red in TNG to orange in DS9 to yellow in Nemesis. So I'm going with a sort of yellow/white phaser now. I like it!

I like the wavy look of the beam, but I have to say, the buzzard and nacelles seem kind of... Muted... I suppose that's the most accurate word... I assume that was intentional?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #595 on:** December 15, 2009, 07:54:40 AM »

That's a pretty cool phaser beam.

And Prime, I think it's intentional as far as the nacelle grilles, but the buzzard was intended to be transparent. ;)

Villain · « **Reply #596 on:** December 15, 2009, 08:13:36 AM »

Well, yeah, I know they're meant to be transparent, but I was just talking about the faded colouring. Can't wait to see how it handles my warbird. :evil

Dalek · « **Reply #597 on:** December 15, 2009, 11:07:27 AM »

I think I might've been able to get my BC fixed purely by accident and a slight computer glitch at the time. So if its possible I might be able to beta it.

She also looks great ingame DJ.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #598 on:** December 15, 2009, 12:11:37 PM »

Thanks guys. Adonis and I couldn't get the transparency working yet. The bussards are painted on. If we can get it figured out at some point, we'll release an update.

Lionus · « **Reply #599 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:15:48 PM »

take your time, no rush.. approximately two weeks to get it done.. ;)
