Well, the largest barrier between me making ships and turning them out for BC is texturing.  That and everything involving conversion. :P  No problems with coming up with ideas, sketching them, and modelling them.  I'm guessing the Exeter class would be using similar textures to most of your post-Nem stuff, so shouldn't be much of an issue on that end.

When I get some modelling done, I'll post in another thread.

well there's no rule that says model and texture must be done by the same person. Conversion is not an issue, if all else fails there's always me. Same applies for hp.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

I'm modelling the Exeter, but I need some sort of aft view.  Can anyone get me one?

Just for update info, I think I managed to sort out pylons phasers, after it's confirmed positive, I'm sending final repack to Centurus, then it's a short run to BCFiles :)

I've just run some tests with new HP, she's now even more effective with aft finally being covered properly with phasers, now the weakest spot is both sides as it was meant :)

Check your PMs Centurus, you could test her yourself and see if she's good enough ;)

I don't play BC, so I wouldn't be able to use her.  Did you make sure to send the fix to Dawg?

Thanks, Cent.  I'll have something up later today. :thumbsup:

I looked through the last dozen pages and realized something.  The readme for the Resurrection is going to have one epic list of credits.

That's why before release, everyone I have credited in the readme will get to review it.  If I forgot someone, hopefully someone will let me know, and if the people involved wished to be credited in a certain way, I'll know.

Ok, aside for the final revisions of the readme, the ship is definitely ready.  She's been cleared by the beta testing team.  Give me a couple days to get things sorted.

Readme has been sent out for final approvals.  Now just gotta remember what my password is for FF.  Have they fixed the problems with FileFront yet?

looks fine if you ask me ;) FF works fine , you just have to refresh every new file site few times before it loads properly, other than that it's all working ;)

I don't think, personally, that they ever will fix the "problems" with filefront.  after all, the current owner is basically an advertizing revenue generator company.

but, yes, you just have to poke the site a while.

I look forward to refit variants when they pop up due to the sheer suck of the basic refit's weapons coverage, no matter who's done the modeling and hardpointing.  since you pretty much have to keep true to TMP with those, they're kinda mediocre to me

Just realized this ship has no install instructions.  But since I don't play the game, guess people who download the ship are gonna have to figure it out.
