Ya Raven just use a tool that will do the job like even TGATool, you could edit the Alpha Channel to Black then reload the Alpha and save it.  Done.

Yeah I know it's been about oh...over a year since I've even posted in this thread!  But I'm going to redesign this entirely, I'm bored with the FC Pack, and want something to do.  I'll be drawing up ideas in the near future (I need fresh ideas LOL) But this one is still gonna be streamlined and have an essence of Sovereign, Intrepid, Nova, and Prometheus as general ideas.  She's still gonna have an "I'll kick your ass" look to her while at the same time look elegant doing so.  Updates to follow soon.

glad to see youre picking this back up!  :)

altho perhaps it might be best to let this thread rest for now until you have something to post or update or report?
just to try and prevent a whole lot of offtopic-ish posts...

thx :)

UPDATE Phasers are half finished, I'm considering putting a couple on the Nacelle pylons just so there's some phaser coverage at the rear...just a bit of artistic license.  I may also model in the torpedo tubes!  Pictures now...and yes I know there are some smoothing issues...I'm working on fixing those, I may need a bit of help though...

Looking good there ... really good
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

You've done such an unique and somewhat beautiful class proud.

We've never really had a good look at the Steamrunner so feel free to use artistic license!

Thats a very good Steamrunner model. Its certainly a welcome upgrade from the C2 Steamrunner. I just hope the textures and hardpoint will get the same treatment aswell.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Uhm...Billz, this is the C2X Steamrunner, just added phasers and an ID map lol.? I'm not a great modeler by any means...retexturing has begun also.? And before anyone screams at me, credits are gonna be given (which I've already written the Read Me for this mod :S That's the first thing I did lol).? If I'm not mistaken all P81/C2X mods are free reign as long as they're properly credited. (If I'm wrong, let me know!)

I'll be updating this shortly.?? This is gonna have the same color scheme as the Sovereign (And the same will be done to the Norway, I'm also gonna update the C2X/P81 model with phaser arrays)...which reminds me, I'm gonna update the saucer texture a bit on the Sovvy...I've figured out how to get the Aztecing perfect! :D

I didn't even reconize it as the C2X/P81 model without its many mesh errors, lol.
Like I said, its a welcome update to the old Steamrunner model. I can't wait to see the end result.

That said, is the C2X/P81 Norway getting the same treatment?

It better had. The Norway could look more interesting and hopefully eclipse might just do that.

LOL It will and both will look awesome :D.? And the reason there aren't as many mesh errors is because I edited it in NIFSkope before I uploaded it to Max.? From there I just smoothed the ship out.? There are some smoothing errors, and I'm hoping to correct those soon :S.? As I said earlier, I might need help with it though.? Those ID maps are bothering me a bit looking a bit darker than the rest of the ship.? I want it to blend in a bit lol

EDIT:  Does anyone know how to get in touch with Queball?  I'd like to use his Sabre class for this mod, but I haven't gotten any replies back from him :S

Texturing started on the Steamrunner :) You can see I've added the Aztec Panneling on the ID map, transporter pads, and more with the textures, the top saucer is only about 30% finished.  I plan on updating you guys soon :D

Nice.  I really like the design of the Steamrunner, it's good to see a new face on it. :)
