I always start with -30 on the left and 30 right for both horiz and vert axis, and that tells me where it's going. Then it's as simple as playing with the 1's and zero's in the upper left to get it pointed, in this case, port or starboard. Ofcourse you'll want to have an oval at this point to help see how much tilt you need but from there you go with decimals in one of those boxes to manuver it around. Never touch the spin button if you want symetrical fire. If I could find video software that could take pictures of what I was doing while taking imput from a mic I could take care of that ina video tutorial.

thanks for the advice SF, i tried the 30 thing and it helped. I've now got all the phaser array arcs set up, as well as the locations for all the other systems and weapons. now it's just a matter of going through and doing the strength and balancing.

Here are some ingame shots. hope you guys like em.

Awesomeness

I'd gladly betatest it for you prior to release.

That ship is one sexy beast.

OMG... those ingame shots look absolutely fab DJ. This one has definitely been worth the wait!!

Just one question though - Doe's the Schumann have Aft Topedo launchers and if so can you please post a picture

Top job DJ... weldone

Maxloef is right!

The top of the saucer looks a bit bald...
but in the whole it?s really a beautie !!!

I'd like to disagree with that as IMO it would detract from the more streamlined design of the ship.

thanks for your compliments guys. glad you like her.

the aft torpedoes are located above the saucer shuttlebay just behind Deck 1. here's a pic. to be honest, i don't really like the aft launcher very much, but i'm so far in that it would be way too much work to change. there is also a photon torpedo launcher above the aft shuttlebay.

i should say that i have intetionally left areas for future expansion on this ship, including space for...

-a ventral saucer torp launcher like on the sov
-additional torp launchers on the secondary hull undercut
-a "turbocharger" on the fwd dorsal saucer
-other misc stuff

wow! :shock: she's a real beaut!

(and that's the understatement of the decade)

You have pm

And shes looking amazing, excellent work this should easily get file of the week award on BCfiles.

Best ship design of 2006 at BCfiles more likely

I have to agree on that one, I would go for most original, you've used elements of alot of ships and made one which looks amazing yet Star Trek like, the last time i saw something like that was with the USS Mantis and USS Courageous.

Oo what does the bumper sticker say

Will this come wih a blank registry or is the hull simple enough to paint over the registry?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #35 on:** October 22, 2006, 05:49:22 PM »

Adding a 2nd deflector on the saucer (like Intrepid Class) and a quantum launcher, would work if you would like to make a war-variant of her ;)

Perhaps also adding some of that hull armor the war sovereign archangel got on the hull would look awesome.

To be honest I think I will spend the first few hours just admiring the quality of that texturing.

thanks guys, I have to admit that i never did like the secondary deflector on voyager, seemed out of place to me.

I'm pretty well done the HP, save for setting up blinking lights. I've also made the third ship of the pack, the USS Chopin. I'll also be doing up an NX version, the USS Vivace. There will be some minor HP differences between the three, as well as some texturing changes, nothing major.

Need any beta testers *hint hint*

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #39 on:** October 22, 2006, 06:45:43 PM »

actually, i test pretty much everything everytime i make a change, so beta testing is really not necessary. thanks for the offer tho. don't worry though, you guys will have these pretty soon.
