flarespire's WIP's - Valhalla Class Starship

[CMDR CHESS]

Well. Great ship, and I think something went wrong in the install. I played the ship in my game and the glows aren't on. I see the glows like deflector and impulse when we're shooting at each other, but not alone. Looks blacked out.

[flarespire]

that seems like an issue with your installe or graphics settings in game, might be worth double checking them, enabling enhanced glows usually helps. Haven't really had that issue be a thing with any other beta testers or my own install, but ill take a look in case.

OK Folks! Beta update time!

We are now on Beta 4, Elijah did an amazing job fixing the HP and scripts and optimising the mesh!
Just drag the data and scripts folder to your BC install as usual, should overwrite all the Beta 3 Files and the Readme has an updated manifest of the files this uses.

Grab Beta 4 here! https://www.mediafire.com/file/kcepxbootw2p8zm/USSValhalla_Beta_4.7z/file

Man, that is a real beauty. Great work.

[flarespire]

Thanks, I appreciate it! Stil got some tweaks to make (most likely removing the cloak) and then I should be able to fully release her.

[flarespire]

Heads up people, I'm still undecided on weather or not to keep the Valhalla's Cloaking capabilities, so I have put a poll up, feel free to vote!
Ill lock voting in a few days, this is basically the final script change I need to make before she can be released (I have one texture addition I wanna do but thats gonna take me a little bit)

[Darkthunder]

Voted to Keep. However, if we wanna get technical about it...

If this ship is commissioned prior to the fall of the Romulan Empire (in 2385), the Treaty of Algeron would still apply. No Cloaking Devices on Federation ships other than with special dispensation from the Romulans (such as on the USS Defiant).

So if you're backstory for the ship is commissioned post-2385, cloak away! The Treaty would no longer be valid

[flarespire]

well, she is supposed to be a late domion war/ post dominion war ship, the idea was for her to be the federations "crap hit the fan so lets get rough" ship but, im still a tad bit ambiguous on the details myself right now.

[Raven Night]

Create a narrative that suggests the Romulans withdrew from the Treaty of Algeron after the Dominion War. There are many reasons it might do this...I have a reason that I wrote into the lore for Star Trek Infinity that I can share if you wish.

We are of course precient to the fact that the Romulan homeworld is destroyed later in the timeline, so there is that as well.

[flarespire]

Yeah, thats what ive been trying to do, ultimately, the results of the poll once I close it, will help me flesh that area of back story out and give her a more detailed description.

[KrrKs]

I'm generally not a fan of cloaking devices on fed ships.

But honestly, do whatever feels right to you!

[flarespire]

Well, its been a few days and the concensus overall, accoding to the poll is to scrap the cloak, so, it will be removed for the final release. now I just gonna make my texture change I've been toying with and I SHOULD be able to release her properly!

[flarespire]

She has been released! http://www.bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,10786.0.html
