ok, well, i hate to bring bad news, but the constellation is COMPLETE, and i will begin work on the Mirandas next, they will be weaker than the others, but not to weak, very strong sensors, and good engines. they will have photon torpedos, and light phasers

Aye the Sobieski is deep space explorer with prototype impulse drive ... ok that's cheap ... I just love that sky blue , Cortez is small beastie with sharp teeth and lots of tiny red addons like side bussards, impulse drive (impulse engine grille and dome). Basicly I want to make ship that have two natures, calm explorer with some decent means to defend itself and warship with really heavy armor and lots of weapons (and a weak spot)

It amazes me how much you can do to the Constitution design.

ok so here's progress report, last changes to the textures on Cortez, I'm not going to add more armor to it simply because it's not a flying fortress, so the armor covers only vital areas of the ship or areas which were lightly armored, I think it looks cool.
I've dumped all those black bits cuz I didn't like the contrast between light grey and black so heavy armor is now grey, nano-suit-like honeycomb pattern.

Now that both ships are almost complete texturing wise, I'll add speculars and redo hardpoints for Cortez.

Very nice work bones, as always.

Bones · « **Reply #386 on:** February 17, 2010, 06:59:25 AM »

Thank's mate, I wanted to make the armor as subtle as possible yet visible with bare eye so it would actually look heavier this way, I hope weapons won't be overkill ingame, I'm now finishing hardpoints (just pulse phasers left)

UPDATE : both Cortez and Sobieski are ingame, working smoothly, I've just overpowered impulse engines on these, also I have to work on phaser arcs (there are no forward firing phasers ATM lol)

for now here's whole Post-Dominion war family so far done

Bones · « **Reply #387 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:14:17 PM »

Speculars done, hardpoints almost there, ATM it can stand a fight with a romulan warbird but it takes damage.

Sweet niblets they're looking good! Have you anymore PDW plans?

Bones · « **Reply #389 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:40:12 PM »

In the matter of fact I do

it's time to dig up some dead projects... minotaur (Centaur successor -variant of Krakow class)

Dalek · « **Reply #390 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:41:56 PM »

Oh yeah, I remember her. First thing I'd have to say from seeing that is angle the handlebar connecting the nacelles further back.

Bones · « **Reply #391 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:54:26 PM »

Aye, I've dumped all small pylons, TMP torpedo bay and that box between torpedo pod and saucer, instead I've used some cool thick, stylish pylons and Akira class torpedo bay between nacelle pylons, so now the torpedo tube count is somewhere around 16-18 with weapons pod (torpedo boat) and 10-12 without the upper pod (light cruiser variant)

I love it now, previous version was kinda plain...

Dalek · « **Reply #392 on:** February 17, 2010, 03:57:23 PM »

I'm not sure about the overall size of the nacelles or the handlebar pylon thingy. Bigger/thicker perhaps?

Vladko1 · « **Reply #393 on:** February 17, 2010, 04:06:56 PM »

Sh*t man!!! Bones, your ships are the best. One big cookie. If werent you, Modders of steel would be more than a sh*tty team! You are the best here and everywhere

Bones · « **Reply #394 on:** February 17, 2010, 04:30:49 PM »

Lol Vlado, thanks but I'm no match for guys like Wiley, DJ, Baz or Raven ;)

So, handle bar for upper pod can be corrected easily, but I'm not sure if I want nacelles get any bigger than now ;) personaly I don't think this design have any problems with too thin parts, just look at Norexan

TOS Constitution being the best example...

Dalek · « **Reply #395 on:** February 17, 2010, 04:34:30 PM »

It might just be me cos there are lack of textures on the whole model, its so bright and glarey lol.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #396 on:** February 17, 2010, 04:37:47 PM »

Not sure if you noticed it, but there appears to be some smoothing issues on the ventral saucer on the Sobieski/Cortez. Kinda ruins the whole feel for the ship, since it otherwise looks really cool.

Dalek · « **Reply #397 on:** February 17, 2010, 04:40:54 PM »

He knows. He's already got someone sorting that out for him.

Don't worry, Limey is taking care of these, both Cortez and Sobieski will be smooth and clean again ;)

Ok, so I've looked carefully and now I agree with you Dalek, I've scaled pylons and handlebar to look much more solid, also most of the textures are now restored but I'm not too fond of their design, I'll cross these and Sobieski's styles and see how it will turn out.

Dalek · « **Reply #399 on:** February 17, 2010, 05:07:02 PM »

I'd move the nacelles further back and sweep the pylon (the one the nacelles are connected to) back a little so it looks a bit like a boomerang.
