Vivace Class pack RELEASED 10/28/06

[DJ Curtis]

So, anyone remember this?  i figured i'd just post here since BCU seems to have really slowed down, and the community is getting a lot smaller.

Anyways, I've got a new PC and most of the finishing touches have been put on this ship.  I really hate doing HP's, so I'm going to seek someone out to finish up that for me.

From there I'm going to do a couple of tweaked HP's and release a pack of 2-4 Vivace Class ships.  Ideally this will all be available before Legacy comes out so that some people might actually play with this baby before moving on.  Who knows, if Legacy turns out to be as moddable as BC has been, then this ship might see life in that game too.

I remember this one.  She's a fine ship.

[Maxloef]

legacy will be as modaable as BC and i personaly will port allot of ships over to that game ;)

so if you wouldnt mind id love to port this baby once i have the game.

I actualy have 1 suggestion to the ship.

the deflector could u switch the brown with the blue, casue i think that would look better, but he its your ship so u decide

[AndrewJ]

Shes a beauty.

[Dawg81]

Shes a beauty.

Indeed she is

[AndrewJ]

Any more images of her? would like to see her full dorsal and ventral sections.

[MickJo]

A magnificant design DJ Curtis, im glad you in a BC forum again...

[mayhemuk]

[Glenn]

Gorgeous..., Simply Gorgeous!!, I was hoping to see the Schumann again. Glad to know you've almost got her released!!

Oh and Btw, welcome to BCC, this is where it's at!!

[Mark]

[moed]

Welcome DJ. The Schumann is stunning.

[Bigkap]

Good to hear from ya again DJ. And glad to hear The Schuman is progressing. Supremus has sent out a distress call

[Starforce2]

[Phaser]

How can anyone forget about her?  She's in your sig on BCU.  lol

Looks great.

[dshash]

One fine ship
 cant wait to get this one!

I can use mpe...
if no one else will breath life into her

[ChiefBrex]

Looks great DJ. Good to see you back.

[AndrewJ]

Someone please hardpoint that beauty so she can grace my collection of the most purdy ships ever made.

[DJ Curtis]

Thanks for the public and private offers to HP guys, I've changed my mind and just started working on it myself since I've got a bit of time this weekend.  After a considerable amount of time messing around, i finally got the dorsal phaser arcs to work, it is such a pain in the butt.  I'll NEVER EVER mod another ship again with a split phaser array, only full arrays from now on, those are easy.

anyway, now that I've got those two done, the ventral saucer arrays should be easy, and the rest are pretty much just small arrays.  There are 13 in total.  Everything else is pretty simple.  Hopefully it'll be done by the end of the weekend, the HP that is.

Once the HP's done, I've got to fix up a few things here and there, and then voila!

[Starforce2]

send me the ship and your hp perhaps I can give you some advice. I don't understand everyones trouble with these, alot of people must be taking the wrong approach.

[DJ Curtis]

Well, my troubles are pretty well solved.  I just have a hard time telling, by using the MPE, where the phasers are going to actually fire.  I find it's polygon representation kinda confusing, always have.
