Perhaps you shouldn't copy that beige color for the landing pad.. You're making a starship, not Toyota Camry.

As for the shuttlebay, you can make the brown part more gray so it matches better. I was more or less concerned with the yellow part. The previous version was a bit too intense.

STO version could be the Vendetta, but perhaps the more canon version could be called Mjolnir, since the top view reminded me of Thor's hammer from Norse mythology..

Umm... I designed the Vendetta as the Sovereignized equivalent of a Defiant. Defiant is to Galaxy as Vendetta is to Sovereign. Wouldn't really make sense to rename it from how I designed it. And the STO variant you can just say is a 25th Century refit. Give it better weapons or something.

You're planning on doing the Sao Paulo? Awesome, One of my fave cryptic ships.

Just throwing out ideas. And I didn't mean renaming the class.. just a different registry.

What I understand is :

- Vendetta will be the name of the ship class
- USS Vendetta will be the grey version with starfleet logo on nose and impulse engines.
- USS Mjolnir will be my, teal-grey version with impulse reactors instead of logo.

both will have different loadout but will remain almost identical strenght/endurance wise

we just need Mjolnir registry number.

Mjolnir is being made twenty to thirty years later. I'd think it'd have higher DPS weapons, better shields, better turning, etc. Also, the reg I put on the Vendetta was just a placeholder. Give it something random in the 7*,***'s. The Mjolnir would probably be a random number in the 9*,***'s.

I have performed an extremely nasty and distorted rip of the Odyssey model in Earth Spacedock in Star Trek Online. With some stretching and prodding, I've gotten it into the rough shape.

Put simply, I've got a 3d reference for making the Odyssey class.

Is the model shown above 100% yours, or a modified STO model? Not accusing you of anything, just making sure it's original, and not a rip from a game (and against TOS/EULA).

If yours, it looks fan-bloody-tastic. Not a huge fan of the Cryptic version, but that comes down mostly to their use of textures.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #47 on:** February 02, 2012, 11:28:17 AM »

It's a rip he's using as reference for the model he's building.

I've been working on the Vendetta this noon and here's what I got :

now I just need to finish up aft section, add some windows and deffuse maps are ready, next step will be alpha channels and speculars.

It's fine to have a rip. It's when it starts getting passed around or if someone passing it off as their own that it gets into the illegal zone.

A couple things: Apparently I need to fix the UV map for the circular things, because I thought the ventral chevrons would also point forward. I'll send you a corrected max file.

Also, those four escape pods up top and center. Their placement doesn't make sense because shuttle bay one is there. If you moved them to wear those two transporter buffers are, that'd be better. Also, If you can darken that entire raised platform that included the bridge and transporter buffers to the same dark panelling that's on other parts, that'd be great.

Bones · « **Reply #50 on:** February 02, 2012, 03:29:28 PM »

Yep, the ventral chevrons are facing wrong direction, you mean walls of deck 1 or the top side of it itselt to be dark ???

oh and how about I switch escape pods places with transporter emitters pads ? would make more sense, transporters would be near shuttlebay while escape pods would be just behind the bridge.

FarShot · « **Reply #53 on:** February 04, 2012, 07:30:21 PM »

Bones will have fun texturing this one.

FarShot · « **Reply #54 on:** February 05, 2012, 06:38:19 AM »

Bit more work done on the saucer...

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #55 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:52:19 PM »

Good looking saucer.

FarShot · « **Reply #56 on:** February 06, 2012, 02:56:37 AM »

Had fun with the bridge on this.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #57 on:** February 06, 2012, 11:53:46 AM »

The saucer is still looking great. Is this an STO ship?

Also, the Exeter is finally up!!

Bones · « **Reply #58 on:** February 06, 2012, 06:08:14 PM »

yes, she's up ! enjoy !

tomorrow I'll hopefully have more time so I can get back to the Vendetta, I'm really close to get her in game

It's a slight reimagining of STO's Excalibur class. She isn't a Captain Logan design, so I've taken the liberty of not entirely following the original design. The only major difference is the saucer. Since the STO Excalibur lacked a shuttlebay on the secondary hull, I slapped one onto the saucer. I'm making some comparison picks just so you can see the difference.
