IMHO the sensor dish should be mounted further back as in the Nebula class.

Shade do i send the file to your hotmail?

hi there guys hers something i knocked together tonight after seeing another ship designed by bank

Yeah sure, that or upload it somewhere and give me the link.

The "newship" looks... interesting, thought the "neck"/bottom sections looks a bit odd to me.

That last one looks interesting. Nice work.

shade_30 · « **Reply #124 on:** November 01, 2010, 08:14:07 AM »

I'm always up for testing stuff, just poke me =)

(from screens, it still seems like the "buzzard" problem hasn't been fixed yet, just pointing out >.>)

Personally i think you should go with this look but final choice is up to you.
But anyway some Real good S**t coming out dude, keep it up!

hobbs · « **Reply #127 on:** November 01, 2010, 05:17:09 PM »

thanks for the encouragement.

the picture you prefer.... what exactly is it you prefer?

CoEvAlItY · « **Reply #128 on:** November 01, 2010, 06:15:59 PM »

Np about compliment, the way I see it you deserve it, your work shows high levels of quality so keep on going

.

~For the griffin I would say the top one with shorter nacelles because it just makes more sense and makes it aesthetically pleasing to look at-my opinion.

hobbs · « **Reply #129 on:** November 01, 2010, 08:02:45 PM »

yep i thought you mean that lol

my ship is a vessel with retractable/extendable nacelles. during standard yellow alert or green alert status she is at extended mode. then during combat you retract the nacelles and so

1) reduce shield area thus allowing extra power to be used for other systems
2) sacrifice warp speed for above bonus
3) reduce sensor resolution to activate torpedoes.

you activate the naceles using mvam

Ah, got ya now, sorry if it was in one of the earlier posts but i don`t read everything and if so, my bad.

since you mentioned that it is expendable then I think you should do some work on the nacelle joining area. because when in extended mode the nacelle are doesn't fit, sorry if I aren't making much sense but I`ll try to show you what I mean.

-The areas where the nacelles joins the read line shouldn't be happening it should follow the red line and not come into contact with the extension bit(cant remember the name), that's what it should follow in my opinion.

hobbs · « **Reply #131 on:** November 03, 2010, 06:05:23 PM »

how does this look?
changed the pylons

CoEvAlItY · « **Reply #132 on:** November 03, 2010, 06:14:11 PM »

I would say groovie but the star trek universe isn't built on groove so...not that good, to be honest i thought the nacelles should be moved slight;y back a bit so its in line but don`t listen to this amature modeller, he knows nothing,

note i aren't trying to be rude, i was just trying to give you helpful feedback but it is ultimately up to what you think dude, are you happy with the way it looks?

hobbs · « **Reply #133 on:** November 03, 2010, 06:42:16 PM »

in general..... yes.

i'm not overly fond of this new look. but i have done another which looks beter but needs work

in conclusion lol

i prefer my original so i may stay with that for now

CoEvAlItY · « **Reply #134 on:** November 03, 2010, 07:35:04 PM »

well there we go then, glad thats cleared up.

Back to learning

3ds max for me

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #135 on:** November 03, 2010, 11:14:59 PM »

I also noticed that you actually modeled on the ship's registry. Those tend to be just textured on for BC ships.

Lionus · « **Reply #136 on:** November 04, 2010, 09:11:45 AM »

I've already mentioned that to him.

hobbs · « **Reply #137 on:** November 04, 2010, 06:49:48 PM »

hi all here is my latest update

1) escape pods now lol (anazonda... will you board now lol)
2) seperated some other parts like the bridge so i can do a texture for that.
3)updated other textures eg: ventral areas

Locke · « **Reply #138 on:** November 07, 2010, 01:37:21 AM »

If I were you I would go out and get a good Starfleet font. They can be found many places on the net. Just do a Google search. Honestly, the one you're using now looks way too plain for BC.

Other than that, I'm really digging the ship. You could angle those nacelles up or down, but it really doesn't matter that much. Still pretty darn unique and inventive. Well done!

hobbs · « **Reply #139 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:18:06 PM »

thanks locke i had one but did not know how to install it to my texture program... done now thank you famous search engine lol.

(i am suprised you still talking to seeing as i forgot about your ship HP)

here is a view of the ship with new reg
