I've been busy last few weeks and it's doubtfully it'll change cuz I've just got new job and school so I have even more limited time than I used to have :( but there are some good news :D I've started another WIP while having about ten WIPs not yet finished :lol: - typical for me :D
I'm especially pround of LCARS on this one, it took me a 2 weeks (about 1 hour of work on them per day... as I said... limited time :P ) front wall remained untouched as well as ships hull/shields status display but enough of talking :D let the pics speak for themselves
btw. I'm not sure about walls/chairs etc. color scheme so any opinions are more than welcome ;)

oooh!! that looks really nice!! :D
i am curious tho - why for an Ambassador Bridge, tho?
-
He and I share the same philosophy that most bridges are not going to be the roomy sets found on series flagship bridges (which was needed for camera space) but rather were like the Battle Bridge or other sets redressed from that set.
Plus, it makes it easier on the texturer, as you don't have to do nearly as many panels :D.
-
makes sense...

I was about to say it :D

It was the most suitable bridge for PDW Excelsior IMO, tho I will be making Prometheus bridge variant tho still need to decide for which ship it will be, it will use NEM blue LCARS ;)
-
OH, can't wait! 8)
-
Is it me, or is the PDW Excelsior tilting slightly upwards?
-
nah I don't think so tho the nacelles may look like tilting upwards but so did nacelles on sovereign ;) what about the color scheme ? should I paint it the way Nem Sov bridge was or leave it the way it is now ?
-
I like it now. It's very spartan and war-like.
-
I like it the way it is now too :)
-
Glad you like it :) my goal was to make a mix of defiant/TNG excelsior/sovereign bridge textures with cream/light blue color scheme, i'll focus now on front wall and ship status display also main MSD heeds some additional displays. Lightmapping is too sharp and thus kinda pixelated so i'll need to sooth it a bit. I will soup screenies when finished ;)
-
I meant the whole thing was sorta saucer up, warpies down. It wasn't equal like - that. More like / that except nowhere near as steep.
The whole thing is looking great though.
-
I'll check it tho I doubt anything is wrong cuz I draw that msd with side view taken from ms3d but anyway I'll check it ;)
-
Nice DrMcCoy!
This looks real clean and has excellent displays.
-
Hi all !
Sorry I kept you waiting so long, school/work/family - life stuff slowed me down drastically but I'm haveing holiday from 24th Dec till 5th Jan '09 so I'll have more time to finish works on this bridge (I'm pretty close to finish it btw.)
Now to point, I've encountered some problems with Ships status (display infront of viewscreen - showing hull/shields status during battle) I've drew PDW Excelsior shape and replaced Ambassador shape with it but Excelsior shape appears only in these places where Ambassador icon was so it's cut in few places like nacelles etc. I'll post pics of it as soon as I'll get back home.
-
Are you making a different MSD screen since that is not an Excelsior MSD you have there?
-
it IS Excelsior MSD ;) but the Post Dominion War Refit I've released few months ago ;)
here's the pic of that screen I wrote in my last post, any ideas ?
EDIT: now you can hit me :D how could I forget about altering alpha channels :lol: never mind it's solved now :D
-
That top view looks way to strecthed to me.
But goodies anyway!
-
how about this ???
EDITl: MSD update : I've done some work on MSD and I think it's ready now
EDIT2: side walls finished, added Voyager style replicator and replaced shields/hull status display to the same from Nemesis.
what do you think about it now ???
-
That is so awesome. It looks better than the First Contact Excelsior Bridge. :lol:

Wow, I like it very much.
-
LOOKs outstanding McCoy, have a cookie, I like bridges
-
that bridge looks awesome, the MSD rocks too, have a cookie
-
Have another.
-
:O Jeebus that is good. Make sure that when its ingame that when you move around, you're not stuck in the chair.
-
You know what? This bridge is superior to the Cbridge. I might just have to play around with this a little in ETNGv2.
-
OOoook thx :D:D so I presume you all like it :D so the last texture work left to do is dedication plaque...
-
The quote could be: "Zdumienie raczej ni? w?tpliwo?? jest korzeniem wiedzy" - Abraham Joshua Heschel
Just wondering. :D
-
Hey I like that :D dzi?ki (thx)
-
Wasz powitanie. I'm thinking about the stardate construction as well. What year do you plan the Krakow to be constructed in?
-
Well I thought about few years after Dominion War, just before the battle in Bassen rift (NEM) as this ship is meant to replace Excelsiors with still state-of-art Sovereign hull components/weaponary/main systems etc.
EDIT : plaque update : here's new plaque for my baby :D it's not finished but I'll show ya what I got so far
-
just out of curiosity for those of us who don't speak whatever that language is, what does ther quote mean?
-
hm that's a good question... i'm not very good at but it'sstranslating or speaking english but it's something like that : It's amaze rather than doubt what is the core of knoeledge... of course this is a very rough translation and may be different than what it really mean in english...
btw. it's my native language : polish :D
-
Wow that's VERY NICE! I love that MSD.
-
figures, the ship has a polish name I should have guessed that the qoute was too, I should have looked it up myself, thanks.? and yes your translation is accurate, good qoute
-
It was actually meant to be "It's wonder rather than doubt what is the core of knowledge...". I'm no good at languages. :)
Heres a range of stardates for the year 2380:
57605.72 - 58607.79
Range for 2381:
58607.79 - 59607.13
And 2382:
59607.13 - 60606.47
-
ok it is finished, just need to pack it, test it and finally send it :D
EDIT: It's checked and everything is fully functional at least with KM 1.0 and BP Gold installed ;) cuz on plain BC it won't run :P
I've just sent it to BC Files so expect it there soon ;)
here are some ingame pics :
-
actually your stardate range is a bit off, the 607 part puts the date in mid august.? a more accurate range would be 57000.00-57999.99 for 2380 and so on
for an excellent stardate calculator check out http://www.ditl.org/ (http://www.ditl.org/)
I should know, my fan fiction takes place around that time.
This bridge looks great though, I can't wait to play it.

Lovely ship + kickA bridge = woot

Eh?
I noticed (now that its on BC Files) that you've used isolinear chips. Shouldn't there be bio-neural gel packs?
Great bridge!
-
now you mention it ... I have just noticed that in Voy and every ship built after it they used bio-neural gel packs, tho did they put it into Sovereign ???
-
could have a mix of both..the chips as an emergency incase the packs fail
-
Yeah they could use both of them, there was an episode in Voy when bio-neural gel packs failed due to infection, isolinear chips can't be infected in any way cuz they're not organic in any way (i guess ;) ) so such mix would be wise choice ;)
-
Indeed. As for the Sovereign, I dont think we ever heard the crew mention anything about isolinear chips. I suppose there wasn't ebough time to go into every detail of the Sovereign.
I take it that the Prometheus/Excelsior bridge retexture will be for people who like big bridges?
-
that's right tho I don't know wheter it will be for PDW Excelsior or just generic Nem era bridge...
-
offtopic removed...
in fact, this thread can be locked down... the bridge was released, thus this thread has served its purpose; so im gonna go ahead and lock it...
