Title: Nicholsons WIPs
Post by: nicholson on May 27, 2009, 01:41:04 PM
Now I haven't posted here in a very very long time, infact I doubt many people would remember me . . . .  anyway after watching the new Star Trek film I decided to give moding another shot. So while everybody is busy doing TMP and XI Connies here is a start on my take of the grandaddy.

This is very early work so let me know what you think and if I should continue.

*adds Nicholson to the TOS ships making list*

Lol, even with the new film, we haven't forgotten its origins. I'm liking that Connie!

Title: Re: Nicholsons WIPs - Pathfinders
Post by: nicholson on December 10, 2009, 06:52:46 PM
So . . . . . . .

I didn't want to model anything that was currently being developed by somoone else, given at the time I was modeling the Connie 2 more appeared I have decided to drop this and replace it with another project.

I had a thought about all the different phases of design for any product, machine, car etc and realised nothing really exisited for the trek ships. Yes I know NX ships are the prototypes, but what about before that?

Pathfinders - testbeds for new designs and technologies. Ships built in the very early stages of the design of a new class of ship.

The first of which is the Daedalus Class pathfinder.

Very early WIP wanted to get some feedback and ideas before I progress.

Enjoy . . . . .

very cool, I like it. I'm not fond of the jaggedness of some components though... smooth out some of the edges [comparing this to the connie you had going, btw] and you'll be golden. Loving it so far dude, can't wait to see more. :]

did u lose that connie and deadalus? Defenetly redo the deadalus, but may I suggest you hit the carts over at asdbj and do maybe a full set of Dy's or something? lol, If you want stuff nobody else is doing..well..I got piles of it. I've been begging people for the stuff for ages, and I know they'll be hits all of'em..but they'd all rather make more connies. If you wanna show'em up, you know where to find me.

of course the Daedalus was lost.  Dadeli seem to have a crash curse on them! :P

I have very early Dead and a connie variation in a VM snapshot I took a month or so before upgrading to Win 7.

Starforce would love to see the stuff you're wanting made, PM me.

WIP has halted a little bit as I move house. I have very little internet access at the moment too as BT will not be able to install a phone line for 4 weeks! That time scale seems a little ridiculous for me given all they really have to do is terminate a cable.

Any ways given the Ambassador is going to be a long long WIP  I would love to crack out some simple ships to improve me skills for the Ambassador, so suggestions please.

Not in the next few weeks no, got a bit of time to work on something, but without a phone line I am relying on my 3G card which is woeful at best. Feel free to post them here or PM with details. I should have real internet within 3 weeks.

I guess 3G isn't all it's cracked up to be.
