I'm sure some of you have seen my latest ship pack released on BCC Downloads, based on the Theseus Class by rengers.
If you had not? Check it out...
* Theseus Class Mod Pack v.2.0:

I made this retexture of the Nova set (I thought it best suited the Theseus). Lurok was kind enough to give me permission to play around this the Nova Bridge.
One of the challenges, making a believable master system display (MSD) LCARS. At first, I just copied & pasted a side view of the ship, that would not do. That looked just a tad bit lazy. I was determined to have a realistic display. I ended up having to make the outline from scratch, so the end results surprised even me! ;)
The Theseus Bridge now comes with new features....
* Canon Red & Yellow Alert effects
* Customized Klaxon/Alert (Specific to the Theseus Set)
* Custom Master System Display
Here are some pics, I just finished up yesterday....

I haven't noticed that earlier today, you have some badly pixelated part of MSD screen, look at lower right corner ;) other than that it's a pretty neat bridge, awesome detail to MSD :thumbsup:
-
like it so far, except the carpet. The color just look wrong. Maybe something darker and bit more grey?
-
nice Bridge, ever cosidered the prommelian bridge, or Galaxy Battle Bridge
-
I always treat it as a matter of personal taste, so I didn't comment about carpet because I like this color but personally I would go far a faint shade of red

Thanks for the compliment, The pixelated part is from the original MSD of the Nova. It will be cleaned up for the final. I was just eager to see the LCARS display in-game. ;)

I think a cool rendition of a Galaxy Battle bridge would not be out of the question, now that I can make a decent MSD for it. ;)

Thanks for the color chart *bookmarked*. Keep in mind, I just changed the color of the carpet, just as a marker for myself. But I'll try your suggestion, to see how it looks on screen.

Glad to be of any help ;)
about the battle bridge, Lurok could show you haw to borrow few pieces from Baz's TMP Enterprise bridge, the rest could be achieved with Ambassador bridge since Ent-C/Stargazer and D's battle bridge were the same sets with slight changes to the rear wall and railing ;)

Sounds like a good ideal, but as lazy as I am, I was just going too do a Nebula retexture, lol. If you can get Baz to make it, I'd be more than happy too do the MSD for it. Besides, I liked the Battle Bridge from BOBW much better.:P The original one from Farpoint looked so "generic".
Ok, here are some pics of your indian red color suggestion Doc, and the now darker burnt sienna tone I made. Both are at the same brightness and saturation. You know, either dosen't look that bad....

Like the color scheme :thumbsup: I'm sending BR a tweak-version of the orig bridge which just has a few improvements. I've also got an old ds9 neb bridge I'm resurrecting for SP mod which is battle bridge-ish (I have a Saratoga version as well which has the consoles-on-struts).

EDIT:
PS. Don't forget to credit 3rd Era for orig Prom/Intrepid bridges and FOAS for chairs. :)

Alright , I'm drooling :P
Hey, if your willing, I can work some "magic" for that DS9/Saratoga set! I can see that as being a galaxy battle Bridge. :P
I got the *NEW* Nova Bridge set from Lurok, and I can't wait to get it in-game. Also here is the video I promised earlier. This shows off that killer ship of rengers, the new additions discussed earlier in the thread, and a dog fight, the Aries against two Keldons and a Galor.

Here is the new Nova Bridge set by Lurok! :dance
@Lurok: The PDW is sweet as well, love the AGT feel to it all, and BP Core friendly to boot! :thumbsup:
As for the Theseus set retexture, the pic says it all! I would like to thank Lurok for letting me play around with this set.
All I have to do now, is put the finishing touches on the (MSD) and replace and Nova class ship animations in the LCARS.
Then make another video, perhaps with Romulans next time. :evil:

id throw a bevel effect on that text brudda. plaques like that in RL are usually routed or cast, put a beveling on it to make it look raised, otherwise pretty sweet :thumbsup:

Yes, I've done that before with the Steamrunner Bridge plaque. I was just matching what Lurok did with Nova plaque. I agree that can be tweaked. Here are some in-game pics of the new bridge set. Lurok has scaled the bridge to canon. I also noticed the Bots now actually "fit" the chairs?!! :eek A new tactical command console, new bridge dome skydome w/stars. The Helm/Con station is level with the view screen & command chairs. :dance :thumbsup:

The bridge set is just about complete. :)
Modding the textures for this really pushed my boundaries as a modder, learned some new things on along the way. I guess "Necessity is the Mother of Invention". I wanted to achieve a professional look to it all. Here are some picks of the final MSD and placing the Theseus class in the animation of the tactical & engineering station.
I may do some more work on the MSD, but I don't want it to become too "cluttered". :P

i think the MSD is fine as is. theres appropriate black space for an imaginative mind to think theres a monitor there, but not active.
:thumbsup:

I think its time to take a step back from this. The mod is pretty much done. I think I'll try some experiments on the dedication plaque, to give it a beveled effect. Regardless, I'll be posting the Theseus Bridge on BCC Downloads, at the end of the week.
** Update **
The Bridge set is now released on BCC Downloads.

It is an excellent bridge, it reminds me a little of the USS Rhode Island bridge from Endgame that we only saw a tiny portion of.
