well i can tell ya this she gets ripped a new one against wileys new galaxy class by herself. but when i took her against the lakota and the km galaxy i did a good job shields got bashed good and took alot of minor to modertae system damage same for going against the prommie and km galaxy but the arcs on the pylon phasers need to be tweeked already sent bones a pm about it

Hey bones, you thought of giving STO's Exeter Class starship a go? she'd make a great edition to the PDW line of ships and seeing what youve done here with the ressurection id say that ships a cakewalk, especially as all the reference images are on the STO site.

anyways just an idea for you there and i cant wait to pitch this one of with the Sol

Bones · « **Reply #222 on:** December 30, 2011, 04:12:28 AM »

I've put registries to both saucer sides, to both sides of the secondary hull (where the SFC logo with long red streak is) and on both sides of nacelles (same location as on original refit)

I'm taking care of pylons ATM, got 'em mirrored

Exeter sounds fine, I like the design. Bring me the model and I can make u textures, won't work other way as I have to little time to learn modelling right now (regretably)

Bones · « **Reply #223 on:** December 30, 2011, 05:32:13 AM »

Ok, fixed, I think

also I forgot I set affiliation for ablative armour but never added it to hardpoint, so I had to tweak everything once more, now the hull is weakened from 17500 to 15000 and shields from 25000 to 20000 with slow recharge rate but to counter it she has ablative aromur covering whole ship with 10000 hitpoints

now she should be one tough connie to crack ;)

ill try but i cant garuntee anything as i cant even use 3ds max yet lol, but ill talk to a friend from college and see what he comes up with, now all i need to do is get a rear view, hich mean i gotta get another 76 CStore Points....

Bones · « **Reply #225 on:** December 30, 2011, 02:57:30 PM »

great, anyway, moving on with the Resurrection, I've tested final version and everything seems to be just right in place and working

I'm sending here to Centurus for release as soon as I get report from Dawg

here are some beaty shots

flarespire · « **Reply #226 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:22:32 PM »

bad news

, I cant get ahold of anything 3d wise but i do have the Dorsal, Starboard and Fore views of the ship, unless i can find some way of getting you a model of it that doesnt breach the STO EULA i think the idea of the Exeter is at a stand still....

anyways heres the views i have of her if you want em, maybe something can be worked out eventually.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #227 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:25:29 PM »

really, that's all a draftsman would need. that's one thing I was taught at tech school, to use at least two views to make a third. it could be done.

just what I was about to say

thx KCS ;)

until there's no model, there's nothing to do for me, let's not hijack Cent's thread shall we ;)

flarespire · « **Reply #229 on:** December 30, 2011, 03:45:36 PM »

ok just putting em up here for you incase.

Bones · « **Reply #230 on:** December 30, 2011, 04:14:18 PM »

sure but as I said, we would need a moddel, I could kitbash something similiar I suppose but that's another time ;)

Centurus · « **Reply #231 on:** December 30, 2011, 04:43:32 PM »

I've used the Exeter recently in STO, and some parts I don't like about the design, but overall, she's a nice ship. I could help in the creation of the ship. It'll be the first time I've attempted such a project without an actual 3D model to work off of, as I use an existing model as a mold and build my ships on top of it. I find it easier than working with a series of pictures. Then again I am still a novice in my modeling skills.

Anyway, the ship looks great. One nitpick. Nacelle registries, you forgot to add United Federation Of Planets under the registry number.

Bones, make sure to send me the most current set of blanks for the ship as well, so I can have them for future fun.

Dawg, please PM me a list of all beta testers, as I want to send a copy of the readme to all those involved before release. I want to make sure that I've credited people properly and that they all approve. I am a great many screwy and f-uped things, but I do have a reputation to protect in that I don't want to forget anyone that helped, and they get proper recognition.

P.S.
I don't mind the talk about the Exeter in this thread. When I saw the ship available for STO, I myself thought about maybe making the ship.

Bones · « **Reply #232 on:** December 30, 2011, 04:52:59 PM »

I will send them along with PSDs with regs on them just as u asked ;)

I think there are few ships that have very similiar features as exeter, combining them to one model and then remodeling it even further would work I guess ;)

For instance Constitution evo - gagarin would require slight remodelling of nacelles, replacement saucer from Baz JJrefit (additional modifications to the spine) remodelling pylons and JJ-fying Gagarin nacelles

flarespire · « **Reply #233 on:** December 30, 2011, 05:07:14 PM »

I suppose itd be ok if i ripped the exeter from the game and we used that as a referance model without actually using that specific one it wouldnt really breach the EULA as no content from that game would be used as the final product, but id have to check with about 20 people first.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #234 on:** December 31, 2011, 07:21:19 AM »

NYET! don't play with my Gagarin!

i notice that with each take on a Connie, usually only the Saucer and Nacelles get a tweak or rebuild. this is one of the better takes on TNGing the TMP slab nacelles that I've seen

Dawg81 · « **Reply #235 on:** December 31, 2011, 01:24:42 PM »

she is almost there, a few more hp tweaks and she be ready for release. My most recent test i took her against a galaxy x solo and won with moderate shield damage then took her against 2 excels and a wileys connie and came out with minor very minor hull damage and shields took a good beating

Bones · « **Reply #236 on:** December 31, 2011, 02:19:54 PM »

she's coming in pains but it will be totally worth it ;)

I tried her vs Wiley's, DJ and JLS Sovereigns ... everytime failed but hell ... that was a fight, everytime I was beaten by those damn turrets.

Centurus · « **Reply #237 on:** December 31, 2011, 06:08:41 PM »

Me likey where this is going!!! Keep putting her through her paces. When I built this ship, I didn't build her to be just eye candy. She may be old, and not exactly the newest model in the fleet, but she's meant to dish it out, and take it in strides, when compared to 24th century ships that is. :-D

KCS:

Thanks. The credit for the warp engine design goes to WickedZombie45. When I kitbashed the original Resurrection, I used all of his models, and he had a pair of warp engines that I thought were great for TNG/post-TNG. When I came around to making the current Resurrection from scratch, the warp engines I definitely wanted to keep. Sometimes small changes have the best results.

FarShot · « **Reply #238 on:** December 31, 2011, 06:10:02 PM »

Bones, if I were to model the Exeter, would you texture it?

Bones · « **Reply #239 on:** December 31, 2011, 07:23:56 PM »

of course I would, what do you have in mind mate ?
