WileyCoyote's WIPs - Continues to Lurk Around

[WileyCoyote]

some people tell me I should shut up and be flattered when this happens, but I prefer to give the advice than be flattered

Criticism creates a better result in the end. I'll make the changes.

I've noticed every modder/modeler has accepted constructive criticism in the past.

Why not have our cakes and eat it too?  Be flattered and offer advice at the same time?

[WileyCoyote]

I've made some subtle changes to the yacht opening.

top-of-the-notch modding here as usual

Looking pretty good there Wiley.

As a side note, in reference to your Invasion pack, Trek Core just added some new wallpapers and concept art for Star Trek Invasion that might be helpful in constructing the Valkyries, the Typhon, and the other random fighters that you blow up in that game.

As great as this is, I'm curious as to whether there is an explanation for how that torp launcher functions?

[Dalek]

Maybe the torps are kept in a vertical fashion rather than horizontally, like a magazine.

That makes more sense than the idea I had that they were replicated or transported inside the launch tube itself.

Thanks, but I already had those images before Trekcore posted them.

Well, that's a good idea, but all the technical specs of launchers I have ever seen made them look much longer than what room there is in the image.

Does it actually matter? It's a game... WC has made a new captains yacht, which no-one has attempted in years!

It's so hard to satisfy anyone these days.

Excellent work on the Sovvy WC, this should retire my Nemesis Sovereign retexture

I think you missed my point.  My issue isn't with Wiley's work, which is phenomenal.  My issue is with the design of the ship itself.  Seems an oversight to have kept both those items in the same spot.  No need to get snooty . . . ;)

[Jb06]

I apologise then ;)

But it isn't the place to argue on the schematics of the sovereign class That's what the trek forums for

I had a feeling, but at least I didn't post tons of images. :p  Kinda disappointed that there's nothing on the final variant of the Valkyrie.

The yacht is done. Now for lights and specs.

well, I don't want to add to this argument, but IIRC, it is explained in the DS9 Technical Manual that launchers don't need to be really big anymore.  Hence the more compact design.  Problem solved, now lets get back to oogling Wileys model.

Looking good as usual. I was wondering is it possible to have the yacht's nacelles off when docked and on when undocked.

I know the mesh has to be the same for MVAM to work but does the textures?

Anyway just wondering aloud.

[flarespire]

isnt that a simple texture swap using around 4 or 5 textures to show the nacells powering up/down?

[Bones]

why 4 or 5 while you can do it with 1 ;)
