Hi All,
Here is a preview of the Bajoran Militia Bridge Crew. This mod is different, as to allow you to play not only as another crew. But, with name/rank changes in the GUI! This is "NOT" a permanent change. And it is all controlled by mutator. When the mutator is deactivated? You will revert to your normal Bridge crew. This is an extension of the work for the Dominion Wars Mod by Elminster. And the Major Kira update, requested by USS_Sovereign for the DS9FX Mod. When I finished Kira, I couldn't just stop there! :P
From watching DS9 ((BIG FAN HERE)) I tried to approximate crew color uniforms for assigned designations. Like Grey: Command/Tactical, Gold: Tactical/Security, Burgundy: Helm/Science, Teal: Engineering/Technical. Some of the crew names you might recognise, Like Tana Los from DS9's 1st season episode "Past Prologue" and Seto Jaxa from TNG's 5th season episode "The First Duty" and the 7th season episode "Lower Decks". I always liked those characters. I still have some items to clean up on the uniforms. But, I think this is as good a time as any to show a public (work in progress).
Here is the Bajoran Militia crew rouster. . .
* Lieutenant Colonel Korjal Dei: First Officer
* Sergeant First Class Jad Okoram: Tactical/Security
* Lieutenant Seto Jaxa: Helmsman
* Lance Corporal Odan Dex: Science
* Lieutenant Major Tana Los: Engineering
Even though Captain Sisko as the Emissary, made a personal request the Provisional Government to sign the non-aggression pack with the Dominion. Doesn't mean the Bajorans didn't want to play a part, and fight to protect the Bajor and Celestial Temple. So, place your fate in the "Hands of the Prophets". . . Soon, you'll get that chance reenact favorite battles with your "new" Bajoran Crew.
* Edit - 05/06/2007: This thread will include pics from my Cardassian, Klingon, Romulan, and Starfleet Marines as they become available. -BR32

nice job, although, I don't remember blue bajoran uniforms, and the security should be more of a tan, rather than yellow

The Tan color was for the Civilian Militia. With no neck collar. As for the Teal? You might want to check out Rom's uniform when he went to work for the Bajorans. I believe the terrorist who bombed Kieko O'Brien's school was a Bajoran tech in a teal uniform as well. -BR32
-
Actually if I remember correctly it was more of a grey color than it was teal. And Tan is also correct for the Security.
Looks good so far though!
-
jw..why isnt this in the bridges section?
-
Looks good , it's nice to play as a different crew at times
-
I think I need to get a beta of BP Uniforms ready. :lol:
Though, v1 is sort of ready, I want to see if I can get submenu's to work for that.
If I can't, oh well, then that's something for a v1.1...
-

It is now.

Roms was teal with gray shoulders.
-
great work BR!
-
Thanks for moving this to the right forum LC :P
I "really" appriciate all the comments so far. For the sake of "canon", I'll make a civilian militia/security uniform. Including a "Odo" character as a mutator choice. And I'll change the color of Tactical uniform to be more tan. Also, switching the Teal sleeves out for the Grey on the Engineer/Tech's uniform. But, I will keep the style (neck collar) of the tactical uniform to reflect the uniform Militia as whole. -BR32

I think the Bajoran Militia was supposed to be their "military" in the first place, I don't remember ever seeing "real" military on the show.

After 50 years of the Cardassian occupation of Bajor. You think they would allow the Bajorans to have a vital military stance? Bajor was a planet raped of all natural resources. As for never seeing "real" military? "The Circle's" military coup (different color uniforms shown). Or, when the Militia was out in force, looking for the remnants of the Shakaar resistance cell- (different color uniforms shown). When the Bajorans traded for Karemman Battlecruiser tech? (Bajoran Bridge - different color uniforms shown) Which was used in a showdown with the Romulans trying to establish a military base on Derna. If, the Bajorans had a viable starfleet from the start? The Provisional Government would have never petitioned for Federation Membership.
That's why I made this mod, for all the DS9'ers out there. So one can have a choice, extending the Pre and Post Dominion Wars senarios. Next up, is the Cardassian 7th Order Mod. This has four custom Cardassian Females canon to DS9. I made few years ago. With an animated replacement for Kiska called "Miyal". :P -BR32

awesome!!! :D

Here is a preview of the Cardassian Bridge Crew TC. As with the Bajoran Militia TC, this mod will have a custom crew. But with Cardassian Military rank info being very limited. I tried to fill in the gaps under the level of "Glen" By adding "Tal" equivalent to Ensign, and "Thane" equivalent to Lieutenant. This ranking "Glen" was first observed in the TNG episodes "The Wounded" & "Chain of Command Pt.II". After "Glen", I just worked my way up to Gul and Legate. Using three grades for each the stated designations. It's not canon, but there it is. A working Military hierarchy.
For you TNG and DS9 fans, some of the names will sound familiar. One is an actual character name. But I'll let you figure it out. Here are eight pics of the Cardassian Crewmen from the seventh order. . .
* Gul 1st Class Marik Matan: First Officer
* Glen 2nd Class Tekimi Osset: Science Officer
* Glen 1st Class Valen Tomarr: Tactical/Security
* Tal 1st Class Jilora Madrid: Helmsman
* Thane 1st Class Danu Otal: Chief Engineer
One important fact. This mod has "custom" Cardassian females, not just the Helmsman :P -BR32

Mutator control?
Please?
Great work.
-
awesome BR!!! :)
Mutator control?
with MLeo's Uniform Menu List, there wont be a need for mutators ;)

@JB76: This mod does come with it's own mutator. As for MLeo's Uniform Menu List? I'm sure a use can be found for this. But you would think "some" people like the person who posted above you? Would read the entire thread. Before asking a redundant question? -BR32
-
very good, although the green lips and spoon on the females is a bit too bright, on the show it was more of a blue
-
And it is all controlled by mutator. When the mutator is deactivated? You will revert to your normal Bridge crew.
lol
@ Aces - what a charming picture! if i didnt have a damn cat, i would prolly use that one for an avatar just for the fact it is funny (and almost weirdly suitable for me) lol
-
thanks, I think.

Artistic Lisence. I originally made the female for Apollo. And not once did he or anyone else I showed this mod to since 2004, complain about something so "trivial". On that score congratulations. As I mentioned, this is not the only female. I made the colors to suite my liking. -BR32
-

Im sorry. The way I read the thread, it sounded like a mutator would be included for only the Bajoran crew and not the Cardassian crew.
I sometimes take things way too literal. Its a bad habit I should really work on resolving.
My apologies again. And jsut to prove I am sorry, you've just been posi-karmed (positive karma)

Both can be included in a single mod.
Just check if BP Uniforms is installed, and if it is, use that, otherwise, use the mutator.
Nothing special.

no problem, if I really don't like it ingame, I can change them myself

Here is an update for the Cardassian Bridge Crew. More pics of the female extras. Though they may not be canon. I like my Cardassian women to have an exotic look to them. Due to using human female head .NIF's. The texture of the card female necks are distorted. I'll try to correct this, but it's nothing major. You may also notice in the background, That the males have different skin hues. By adding this bit of diversity in the Cardassian crew, really works for the mod.

I think you should consider making the 'shirts' a tiny bit darker so that they dont appear 'as purple' as they do at the moment. Not too dark though.

Those are original stock uniform textures. But, I'll try to darken them a bit. I'm just a bit curious to see what they would look like myself. -BR32
-
i need to send u the new galor bridge textures for KM, they look so much better then those lol
-
Not that the originals look bad, in fact they still look cool.
Cool Job at those cardies BR. Can`t wait to see what you`ll do with the EF2 based ones.

@LC: Thanks for the compliment. I'm going start on the EF2 bots. For the Fed Crew and Starfleet Marines. Just to see how my custom textures come across in game. Throw me a line if you got the rest of the EF2 bots ported. I'm eager to get them in game. Now that I'm on a scripting spree.
@Mark: New Galor Bridge, Eh? Hum, I'm up for that :P

Ive removed all images that show materials credited to jose ralat:
- Nebula Class MSD
- Galor Bridge LCARS
Im afraid in future BR you will either need to avoid taking screenshots where you can see them or give credit to Jose on the screenshot

No problem, I've since deleted the set altogether. I would rather not have "ANY" of his works in my install at all. People like that makes me nauseous. -BR32

Just a small note about the Bajorans, can't you give them earpieces, like they are suppossed to have?

That would require new head models.
The Bajorians in Excalibur will have then.

holy thread resurrection, Batman! :)

First Off "They" your refering to is "Me". And as LC told you "Were" working on better models. If I want to update any
thing here? That's my decision. Also do me a favor and learn some "Forum Posting/Social Rules". And please stop
resurrecting old threads, just to state the obvious...
I'll just lock this topic just for now, Until Needed. -BR32
