i suspect DJ will simply adopt a policy similar to his stance towards Legacy (the game) where he simply wont allow people to bash an X class out of his work

If I recall, he established that already, when he first started working on the Galaxy model.

You can obviously think what you want but, thats not what I was doing.

BOTTOM LINE
for me, anyways...

if he doesn't want an X-class, then he doesn't want an X-class. There's already a good X-class in BC Supermod 2/3, and also downloadable separately. So... peace out.

beautiful work as always, DJ. Keep haulin' in the good stuff. :]

Sorry I haven't been updating this lately. I was out of town substitute teaching.

For the moment, I can't give you guys an approximate release date for this mod. I start summer school teaching on Monday, and I will be too busy to probably be even online at that time very much. Then I'll have to move in August and fix up my new and old houses. Then when September hits, I start teaching in the regular school year.

I will try to find time to complete this over the summer, but updates will probably be sparse.

As to the Galaxy X, I will not be doing it. Also, as you guys know, I keep pretty tight control over my mods, so I probably would not allow just anyone to do a modification of the original mesh and textures to create an X unless it was someone I really trusted and respected with it.

Mainly cause it would take someone supremely talented and imaginative(lots of creative license would be needed) to make that hideous affront to the Galaxy design look good?

Good luck with the substitute teaching and the move! Don't worry about the release date, rushing it out to satisfy us wouldn't be a good thing.

No worries DJ... as stated so many other times... masterpieces take time.

BTW, what subjects and grade levels do you teach?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #166 on:** June 27, 2008, 07:47:04 PM »

Teaching Grade 12 and 10 Social Studies over the summer. And then Grade 6-9 Social Studies, Language Arts and Drama starting in September.

moed · « **Reply #167 on:** June 28, 2008, 05:06:45 AM »

Awesome. I teach college Astronomy part time in the evenings.

BTW, will you also be eventually adding the USS Mariner & USS Olympus to this pack? I think that they were late TNG Galaxies... but I may be confusing them with another starship class.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #168 on:** June 28, 2008, 10:01:56 AM »

I've never heard of those ships being Galaxy's. So no. But there will be blank textures included in the pack. So if you want to do it yourself, it won't be a big problem.

mckinneyc · « **Reply #169 on:** June 28, 2008, 10:18:09 AM »

The Mariner and Olympus were included in the SNS Galaxy-X pack.

Such patience that requires... You, dude, are made of win.

On that note, art can not be rushed. Take your time, get it right. We have waited this long, have we not? Best luck. Good thing I'm not in your classes or I'd never get ANYTHING done! "teacher, what's wrong with my smoothing groups?" "Mr.Curtis, these vertexes arent welding!" "Dj, the faces-"

"Aeries get your darn homework done or go to the office!!!!!!!"

hahahaha... I'll hush now. xD best luck dude.

lol. I don't typically give homework.

Sublime work, really nice.. might have to pick your brains for sure

TheHalfMonte · « **Reply #173 on:** July 01, 2008, 07:03:30 PM »

Why would anyone want to make a Galaxy-X out of this anyway? :? This is far more in line with what we see of uprated designs in the normal timeline, and a well-done, practical interpretation at that. I don't think the X ugly so much as it was illogical, even for a militarized Starfleet. The resources dedicated to what appears was a profound refit strike me as vast enough to have instead gone toward a sleeker, lower-profile craft engineered specifically to endure the rigors of combat. I know the objective was to give viewers something new, something to punctuate the change in the state of the galaxy in the alternate timeline. But doesn't anyone else think the idea of turning the Enterprise-D into a crudely tri-engined, mega-gun juggernaut an insulting way to go about acheiving that effect, canon or not?

If I had the time and skills, I'd ask to make an Enterprise-D variant of this 2395 refit as the AGT vessel.

could we... possibly... NOT get into a Galaxy-X frenzy again? :/

lmm086gf, if you argue with a moderation in public again, you will win a 3 day comment ban.

Good. And if I was teacher I would teach music. I have an obsession on the Dr Who theme. Still, good work on the Galaxies. I thought, imagine a shiny Galaxy, and then I thought, that wouldn't look right. :lol:

Aeries · « **Reply #179 on:** July 29, 2008, 11:39:12 AM »

I FINALLY reinstalled BC and started playing with your Galaxy and Valiant classes. Haven't tried the Venture yet, but I must say, dude, your galaxy is immensely impressive! I usually adore smaller, faster ships that just whip around and kick arse like the valiant, but your galaxy was so much fun, too! I can't wait [but simply will out of respect, lol. xD] for these ships to be released. This is going to be a world of fun! I can already smell the blood of the Jem'Hadar burning amongst the ashes of their ships as my galaxy wing tears through them with effortless precision... 8)

Best luck! And have fun teaching your pupils. Also, be sure that they are aware of the dangers of overloading a phaser rifle... too many kids these days are so unaware of the consequences.

Tsk tsk...
