Well I just figured out I messed up a few things on the HP (for starters the forward dorsal array fires from the opposite side of the ship, making it appear as though it's firing from the secondary hull, as well as the bottom of the saucer firing phasers into the nacelle)

Hopefully Starforce can help clean that bit up.  As for now I'm working on scripting the ships into the game, and finishing up the registry textures (I just started on the speculars).

One question though...should I brighten the registries up??? Or keep them black?  I think the decals should at least be shiney LOL but that's just me :)

Looks great eclipse... but I wish those impulse engines could be remodeled. They're edges are so sharp that it looks like a couple of plain 3d rectangles were slapped on and then details/textures were added.

Don't get me wrong though, overall, this is one nice Luna!

Heh....you know I think the impulse engines are exactly how Tourangeau designed them...I just wish he had designed them with the Sovereign in mind.

However this is Kophjaeger's Luna...not mine.

Model and Textures:  Kophjaeger
Cleanup and port to BC:  eclipse74569 and EDD_7
Registry numbers:  eclipse74569

So no one gets confused :P

Bump to let you guys know i'm still waiting on Starforce to get with me on the HP...

In the meantime I'm working to get the Slipstream varient finished and scripted as soon as possible!  I'm thankful for Kophjaeger and for EDD_7 to allow me to work with this.  And I'm praying you guys will enjoy it :D

I'm actually excited to be doing this!!! LOL :D

So....I've managed to fix my problem with the forward dorsal array (mental note:  next time don't use spin).  Next up is to fix the ventral side arrays so that they're not firing into the nacelle/secondary hull...

Any ideas what I should change the values to? (as I need to learn this on my own...sorry Starforce!)

EDIT:  Ok I'll figure it out!!!

EDIT 2:  AARRRGH!  The ventral arrays are STILL hitting the nacelle :(

Only problem is, it's one single phaser arc...(there's a total of 3) so it fires all around the array.  I'm thinking of making two more arcs and just making them a downward angle phaser. Then I can just move the other phaser around to fire where I want it to.

Dunno if I got it right but if you have problem with array firing through the hull while it's facing the outside then simply point it into the hull, should work like a charm ;)

Not my problem what it is is the ventral saucer phaser is pretty much going through the nacelle.

I haven't had much time to try and fix it lol

Slight bump to say I have to buy new batteries for my mouse before I can work on this again LOL I'm running on my Lappy McFailpants (Laptop) right now and I don't want to use it for BC (as it's very old and I can't upgrade the graphics card unfortunately *sigh*)

Once I'm no longer broke (hopefully this weekend) I'll be able to work with it LOL :D

Your system might have the ability to disable the integrated graphics on your machine within the BIOS. If so, then you can get a separate video card and get a lot more horse power.

I have a couple of pretty decent video cards laying around. If you can disable your integrated graphics, I could work out a deal with you and provide you one.

Let me know.
