Post TNG Mods (MOS) Previously STO Era Ships

Yay, i love these, there is a variant without a weapons pod coming

[Bones]

Indeed, I was also thinking about sensor pod variant ;)

[Dalek]

It's basically a cheap Nebula now.

[Bones]

Yeah you could say so, precisely it's just a refited Centaur (without weapons pod) and additional pods will fill the gap where Miranda class was.

I'm now remaping whole model (moving all those tiny textures into one 2048 map so it would be easier to retexture it.

[Bones]

I felt there is a need for lightened Sobieski/Cortez so here's what could be done with em'

[Dalek]

Oh, I liketh that a lot.

Possible names:

Sobieski - Danysz (Polish Physicist who helped Maria Curie)
Cortez - Poniatowski (Polish Leader, General, Minister of War and Army Chief)

Thought they'd be fitting.

[Wicked Zombie]

Impressive work, especially the Cortez. Surprising how big a difference a new coat of paint and some overhauling can make for those old junk-heaps.

[deadthunder2_0]

I am trying to get as many blank regs in the pack as possible, Bones, are you releasing this separate from the rest of the pack, i have begun work on the Saratoga, I am using the zambie zan mosel and textures, while exploring photoshop, so it is in no way brand new
and bones, i have a Saladin planned, just no ship, that Utopia/Akula thing will work

Also Should i keep the Constitution class TOS, or just put in another ship (let the community anwser, i want them to tell me)

Ah, without your 'junk-heaps' (the best TMP evo designs I've ever seen) these wouldn't be possible to make ;) I'm so glad you like them

Sobieski - Danysz (Polish Physicist who helped Maria Curie)

Noted. They'll fit like a glove

that Akulish vessel just got official name of Warsaw class (Warsaw is the capital of Poland)
Thought they'd be fitting.

Dunno yet, we will see if the community want whole PDW pack released separately. If you're looking for slightly updated Mirande then I've made few years ago a reskin of ZZ Miranda pack Reliant (mostly updated speculars and replaced saucer textures) It's available at BCF as USS Brattain.

So far the PDW line counts 7 ships :
-Krakow class = Excelsior class evolution
-Cortez class = Constitution/Ambassador class crossover evolution (war-refit)
-Sobieski class = Constitution/Ambassador class crossover evolution
-Minotaur class = Centaur class evolution - no pod
-Cyklopes class = Minotaur with sensor pod attached
-Chimera class = Minotaur with weapons pod attached
-Warsaw class = Akula class evolution

btw. I've posted two variants of the Warsaw class, (different upper pylon) which one will be better ?

P.S. I've began creating new saucer textures for Krakow and Minotaur, as I mentioned I wasn't too fond of actual textures on these (too blured) so they'll be restyled to resemble Sobieski's style and color scheme

[deadthunder2_0]

second one

[Bones]

Update : this time it's panneling details on Krakow and Minotaur class dorsal saucer.

[Dalek]

Much better.

[Daystar70]

Hm Name ideas from my head-

Triumphant
Glory
Warstar
Dark Nebula
Defiance
Mandragon
T'pol
Saavik

[Bones]

hm...
Minotaur sensor pod - USS Saavik
Minotaur weapons pod - USS Triumphant
Minotaur no pods - USS Minotaur
Warsaw - USS Defiance

I like these ;)

[Daystar70]

Cool glad to help 

[King Class Scout]

for those of us that have the loose Krakow, are you gonna make the saucer texture available loose?

[Bones]

you mean blank texture set ? if yes then yeah there will be blanks set.

I hope to get back to the project even today so stay tuned for updates ;)

[Bones]

After quite busy week I have resumed works on Krakow re-retexture (reminder : this retexture purpose is to bring PDW Excelsior refit up to date with whole lot more detailing to textures) so here's my experiments on impulse drive ,I might revert central impulse drive back into main shuttlebay (Sorcerer class) also still I can't decide wheter to make them blue (side engines) or red (central engines palette), there's also pic of top deck area. Neck and Secondary hull are now being replaced (new textures are visible on pictures yet there's still much to be done in this field, pylons and nacelles are still the old ones.

Lol, Modder of the month again at the end of the March Seriosly man, awesome! ;)

[Bones]

Thx Vlad ;) I've decided to completely redraw everything except for Saucer section on Krakow, will post pics later ;)
