This is probably for low-end computers, but the textures are 1024x1024. Moonraker's model is really good, and there are little or no modeling errors. Dr_McCoy's textures are awesome, so I used them for this retexture. Enjoy. :D
-
wow man, looking sharp,
now where did i put that cookie jar..
-
nice job man, looks sweet
-
Oh, nicely done. :)
-
I got to admit that I forget how good moonrakers Connie model looks... and with the new textures it does bring out the beauty in it.
-
nice connie...
-
Don't forget the low powered deflector, to give the effect of being in drydock. :D
-
Sweeeet!
Nice texture :D
-
uh yeah, the white deflector via MVAM would be great
-
Nice, I like it, but (yeah I know I hate when someone starts to say 'but' :P j/k) maybe you should check some really accurate sec hull, neck and pylons hull plating patterns, cuz my sucks and are uncanon ( I can't believe I'm saying that :D)
It's just my small input, just incase you want a lot better connie than my :D
-
..... if you must....
no i think it looks good. little bit too much contrast to the darker areas for me, but its nice.
-
thats a gr8 job :) keep it up
-
indeed - most impressive!
-
it's very nice. good model, nice textures. A little on the pastel'ish' side for my taste, but very nice none the less.
-
I added the additional hull plating, and I also changed the windows.

Sometimes diverting away from canon is a good thing. I think you're retextures are great.
Now, as for this ship, I think the model itself is better than Khaliban's model. Don't get me wrong, Khaliban's model is great too. Just like this model better.

For the deflector, you should use FTech, so when you go to warp, the deflector turns blue, out of warp, white/yellow.

I second that.

The only time I saw the Enterprise A with a yellowish deflector dish was when she was in dry dock in TMP, and shortly afterwords as she was leaving the Sol System. So IMO, it wouldn't really be cannon to see the Refit Constitution with the deflector being yellow all the time, save for warp. Because we see the Constitution with a blue deflector at both high and low impulse throughout the entire series, do we not? I'm not going to discredit this entirely though, as it is an interesting idea, but personally, the only time I see the deflector being at low power is in drydock, when the ship would depend on the station's deflector grid, anyways. Again, just IMO. Personal preference and all that.
Nevertheless, this ship is looking rather hot. I've been seeing a lot of connies and connie related starships recently, and it's nice to see the old girl out and about again. I look forward to seeing what you cook up later on. Keep up the good work.

If you re-read kirk2164's post, he specifically meant that the deflector should change color when going to warp, and again exiting.
-
Hmm... My apologies. :(
Well, whatever happens, I'll be happy with what ever is produced. It looks pretty cool. :)
-
I like that idea with deflector, make nacelles the same way it should rock then :D
looking good on those textures :)
-
I really like these retextures.
But one small question: Has Moonraker's connie been ever converted for bc?
-
:hint::hint: use BCFiles search function :D :hint::hint: it's under Moon FCA name on BCF
-
If I use ftech for nacelle swapping, the deflector is also on the same texture. Since I have never used ftech for such a thing, I might need some help. I like the idea of the nacelles glowing blue in-warp, but the deflector will just be a button- turning it on an off by the players choice.
On a side note, if I do a constitution pack, what ships will I need to make it canon? Also, if every ship looks the same, I think that there should be some minor changes between them, so you will have a greater chance of playing all of them, and not just a few. This includes added saucer/secondary hull cargo hatches, battle damage, rust?, etc.

I think the best way to show difference between them will be changing details colors like sec hull blue plating to green and so every blue detail, also adding some hatches is good idea (maybe different deflectors or impulse domes/dishes, diff colors of grills)
-
I am experimenting with some hatch ideas for other ships. Any ideas?
-
variety is the spice of life.
-
I would like to see the ST3 1701, the ST6 1701-A and the Constellation from "Doomsday Machine" refitted(as in if it happened 10 years later).
-
And a destroyed 1701 from st3. ;)

this all depends on what you mean, my latest that you can see here: http://www.chrisjonesgaming.net/moonraker/screenshots/1023.jpg
is more or less this same model with many refinements. but no it hasnt made it to BC... yet.
however there is an old version that is on BC files and is where this one comes from.

DrMcCoy, Will Decker, now you...I'm going to die of an overdose of my favoriate ship of all time ^_^
*dies*
awesome, btw

wait until you see v.2 of my contitution retexture and v.2 pack with all new textures (hopefully with ID maps and FTech warp grills and deflector)

check this out, tho it is WIP and still have to make st6 damage

Dr_McCoy's TWOK Enterprises are very cool- I mainly like them because of the battle damage variants.
I just finished fixing the different colors for the ship. Now to work on the other ships......Enjoy! :D
-
For years I thought the Ent-A was an exact duplicate of the original refit Ent (and possibly going with the "is the Ent-A a renamed ship?" theroey (sp))..till this color thing appears, so I'm assuming the only way to tell apart these two is the color of certain hull colors or is there other differences to the ships (weapons, systems?)?
Very sharp texturing, it gives more life to the Constitution II...
-
I tried not to add too many panels, because they would distract from the overall scheme. This is my "test" ship to show what I could add to the ships. Any changes or ideas?
-
She's perfect in my opinion.
-
looks really good to me.
-
Cool! :D Now to work on the other ships.

argh to many constitutions, i never know which to download, and now we have more, what am i going to do, awesome by the way

Have more than one install :P

i think moon pulled permissions on most his models for one, and i think loads of people ahve made a refit i know adonis is doing his and bazz has his one, but i dont know if wiley has build a refit, but if not he probably will wiley has improved so much since 2008 there'd be no point on redoing this lol
-
hm...mabey I'll pull up the Concours again
Phoenixfett: tell me if this sounds like a dorky idea. the skinning's mostly done :P

I know this is an old topic, but am still impressed with the textures. The registries still don't have the red outline, other than that cool. Has anyone started another topic on this?
Infact I did ;) I already released Constitution pack with complete list of ships from Ex-Astris Scientia about year ago, also Wiley decided to build a new refit connie (so far the cleanest and thr neatest [sp?] up to date) and released it at the same time as I did (last christmas I think)
If I would to guess, Wiley abandoned this model due to it's age and kind of blocky model compared to his new model or Khaliban's
Phoenixfett already stated it, Wiley improved his skills so much that he do not need to retexture old models anymore ;)

you know, digging up a two year old topic, just to ask if anyone is going to pick it up is kinda rude, and pointless, since there are a lot more recent Refit connie mod threads out there. Like Baz and Wiley's, which are right near the top of the list. It this point this is the second 2 year old connie thread you'd dug up. Do you really think anyone is going to start working on it again?

Well said. :yeahthat: That has been happening a lot lately.
