He's already said that he's not going to do any further model alterations...

Quote from: DJ Curtis

The "spine" just wasn't working for me and I've gone with something more straight forward and in keeping with the rest of the ship. Though I'll probably fancy it up a touch.

This suggests otherwise. But as I said in my previous post, it was merely a suggestion. Both the pairs of ventral tubes look suitably "hidden" into the design, but the dorsal tubes stick out like a sore thumb in it's current position. In my opinion of course.

mapped and started texturing the Thunderbird. Shown here detached. Has a large forward window ala the bridge of the Kelvin.

awesomeness!

Its' bridge must be bigger than that of her mother-ship, then. xD Looks hawt, man.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #365 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:45:19 PM »

yeah. actually i think i'm gonna ditch the big window. it looks cool but is just too big.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #366 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:49:20 PM »

I do agree that it's too big, but it does look cool.

Could keep it, say its the forward observation lounge? Would make sense for the ship if it would still be used for things that the Captain's Yaught would be used for.

Nice!

Something about the shape or the Thunderbird looks like a moth.

That did occur to me this morning actually. We're thinking the Longsword from Halo, right? This does have a lot of similarities, for sure. :] And they're similarities that I like.

Awsome stuff DJ mate, I agree with loosing the forward window, but a small one running vertically could look just as cool. nice job m8

I can't wait to see this beauty in the game

I would be very happy, to have this ship in our Star Trek RPG Fleet^^

Aeries · « **Reply #376 on:** July 28, 2009, 12:41:13 PM »

Not meaning to pluck at you DJ when you're not working on this atm but I do have a general inquiry with regards to the textures... I've just noticed that the front of the bridge looks like it has a window similar to the auxiliary craft... is that so? If it is, I'm almost inclined to start designing a bridge for this bad boy. :] Lord knows I could use more practice!

Raven Night · « **Reply #377 on:** September 28, 2009, 05:10:43 PM »

Shes a real beauty DJ.

As to the thunderbird, I would keep to an overall Defiant like theme, with few windows. Gives it a tougher stance. That is what I intended when I drew the original concept for the sep...a large Defiant-ish type ship.

Lionus · « **Reply #378 on:** October 16, 2009, 03:02:03 PM »

indeed.. but just don't HP it to be as hyperactive as Defiant is. that things ability to turn on a dime annoys the living hell out of me. just give it some mass..

Love this one. More "emergency separation" renders and "return fire!!!" shots. Does she have landing legs (VT/OL)?
