Great! You made my day.. I prolly would've ported it for myself anyways..for my own personal use...but i would prefer permission before i did so..thanx man...So we wont be wiping out any borg cubes with badboy eh?

as for phaser arrays...what type are you thinking? the standard Type 10? or more advanced Type 12 like whats on the Sovereign Class?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #61 on:** October 25, 2006, 07:59:04 PM »

I'm not sure I could say what "type" they are, because that would just be hypothetical fan fic.

But to be more specific, the main phasers on the SNS Galaxy have a strength of 1400. The Vivace class will have the same phasers as the Supremus with a maximum strength of 2500. So the phasers themselves have quite a bit more punch to them. That being said, the max charge of the phaser banks on the SNS Galaxy is 1.5, whereas those on Supremus and Vivace have a max charge of 1. All three ships share the same discharge rate. So really, if the SNS Galaxy had the same charge characteristics of my ships, it's strength would be equivilant to 2100.

So to sum it up, the phasers on Vivace are definitly more powerful than a Galaxy class, but I also envision that the Vivace and its sister ships are commissioned in the late 2380's, a full 30 years after Galaxy Class starships hit the scene.

So we are roughly looking at Type 12 Phasers....okay...i guess the time is right to make the Type 12s main stream or the new standard.

Depends on the era of ship your making.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. After all, there's never, to my knowledge, been any canon description of just what a type XII phaser really is, and how powerful it is in relation to others.

Remember too that during TNG, the Enteprise received several upgrades to her phasers, but they were always type X.

I guess what I'm saying is that I have no idea what kind of phasers are on my ship. All I know is that they shoot and blow stuff up.

CptBenSisko · « **Reply #65 on:** October 25, 2006, 11:59:24 PM »

That is true....I guess we could say these are the final versions of the Type X phaser....all depends I guess....

or Type XI Phasers. I'd have to see the damage for the most canon Sovereign for BC.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #67 on:** October 26, 2006, 03:13:16 PM »

I'll clarfiy myself.

I'd rather not say that it has a "type" of phasers, because all this stuff is totally arbitrary. 8)

Update...

Ship TGL is finished as well as its game icon. I've messed with the HP some more and pretty well nailed it. i realized that I had reversed the port and starboard phasers on the ventral side of the saucer, so that had to be fixed. I still have to add running and blinking lights as well as adjust the HP's of the Vivace and Chopin.

Here's a pic with the finished TGL and Icon showing.

Provided nothing gets in the way, Schumann and its sister ships should be available for DL on BCFiles on Sunday.

Great news DJ, you've done an excellent job once again

P$YCH0 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 27, 2006, 04:45:05 AM »

Amazing work you have done here DJ!!!
I am a fan of the Intrepid class, and this is an excelent version of it's "sister ship"!
Can't wait to take her out for a spin 8)

P.S. Could you in any chance include BLANK textures (with no registry markings) in the pack, that would be most excelent

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #74 on:** October 27, 2006, 11:41:05 AM »

I'll definitly do that for you guys.

clears a docking port

cannot wait for this little baby.

Nighthawk · « **Reply #77 on:** October 27, 2006, 12:14:14 PM »

will you add any armor tech to it? like ablative armor or something?
it should have, since it is kinda Intrepid refit

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #78 on:** October 27, 2006, 03:21:56 PM »

no armour. It's not an intrepid refit, it is a totally new class of starship, i've just designed it, like all my ships, to follow what i think is a logical progression in starship design.
