I like it. It looks like a smaller variant of the Excalibur bridge, which seems to be the design Starfleet would adopt going into the 25th century.

The only criticism I have are the two extra rooms, which I see as "fluff" (not really necessary). However, you are doing very well on Polygons, so I don't mind

. Very detailed and looks amazing overall.

Well I have more news, my new graphics card has decided not to work so I am going to have to borrow my firiend's graphics card again and get in contact with the shop about replacing it.

I disagree. If you follow that logic, any extra bridge is "fluff", or not really necessary, as they don't impact the way the game is played - you could just as easily install all the other extra ships and mods and use the stock galaxy bridge. In the exterior view, which is almost exclusively used when doing qb, you'd never know the difference. But, having great bridges creates that "I'm there" feeling which is so rare in games today. With walkfx and the entire deck 1 to explore, as opposed to just the bridge, that feeling should be achieved, bringing that much more to the gaming experience. I'm sure I'm not the only trek fan who always wanted to take a walk around a starship..

I always wanted to walk on a Starship and I am glad someone else is thinking that the rooms are not fluff

. But I do welcome comments

I like the rooms as well.

Never said anything was wrong with them, just that they were a little fluffy

.

Great work, again.

Now concering the textures. Do people want the bridge to have animated LCARS or have static LCARS but change when going to red alert?

Billz · « **Reply #110 on:** October 04, 2007, 09:17:41 AM »

Which ever is easiest to do.

i would say go with static ones to allow for map swaping

Use BP Animated Textures for both states!

LJ and I did fix them for the last release. ;)

I'm with MLeo.

My computer is not working at the moment so 3d work has stopped. I have borrowed a friend's spare pc till mine is sorted. Its spec is 500mhz celeron, 128mb ram, 6gb hd, built in graphics and sound. So no chance of doing anything on it lol. I have been able to do some teture improvements at work (boss is not here and had some mantis stuff on a usb stick) so I redid the MSD to match the v2 mesh of the mantis. Still needs more detail but here is what I have done so far. The size I was working on was over 4000 pixels to get the high detail, but reduced it for the forums

newman · « **Reply #115 on:** October 24, 2007, 09:13:35 AM »

Very nice. Hope you get that computer sorted soon.

cpthooker · « **Reply #116 on:** October 24, 2007, 09:17:31 AM »
