I thought the Warbird was more powerful than the Galaxy class, but not as maneuverable?

Right on both counts but, the Warbird is not significantly more powerful.

Thanks very much for all the kind comments . (and your patience)
As for the hardpointing, I really appriciate the offers, but I've just about got things set now - save a few minor niggles. I'm intening to make the D'Deridex on par with the Galaxy-class (using DJ's Galaxy as a baseline). I'm conducting my own tests now, so it is likely that I'll be asking for testers in a few weeks' time.
Two screenshots, the second shows how the Galaxy-class looked after an encounter with the Warbird.

I see im glad it all is all going Splendidly

Maybe someday i can help you hardpoint a Tal Shiar version of your awesome ship, with Advanced Technologies capabilities such as a computer hack, impulse disabling torpedo among other deadlier things

I did a little tweaking to LCs Tal Shiar Warbird to do just that, and it opens up a whole lot of tactical options, anyways just a suggestion. You definitely deserve the MOTY award

Finally, I've got everything sorted with the Warbird now. In my tests, she matches up quite well with a Galaxy-class: slightly greater firepower but less manoeuverability.
But now, I'd say it's time to turn it over to you guys for more testing. The time has come for me to request a few people to Beta test the D'Deridex; so if you would like to try it out, just say here (3 or 4 testers should do, I think). I'll spend the next day or so finishing up, so the beta should be released then.
If all goes to plan, the finished product should be out by Christmas, otherwise it will definately be New Year's.

It would Be an Honor if I can test [she looks fine] and for getting it semi-done [still needs testing] you SIR shall be bestowed a cookie.

Nihilus · « **Reply #905 on:** December 16, 2011, 03:15:10 PM »

I would be willing to give her a try

zgok · « **Reply #906 on:** December 16, 2011, 03:38:11 PM »

Again i say i would be willing to test it for BC aftermath and Kobayashi Maru as i have both installed. Anyways wonderful news, it would be the best Christmas, or New Years ever!

I'm in most definitely in if you still have room!!! ddb53@verizon.net

Captain_D · « **Reply #908 on:** December 16, 2011, 08:23:44 PM »

Nice screenshots.

Would like to as well if needed.

Lionus · « **Reply #909 on:** December 17, 2011, 12:17:57 AM »

I want to try my hand at blowing it up too .

High res screenies will be provided naturally. ;)

X_TheUnknown_X · « **Reply #910 on:** December 17, 2011, 08:16:20 AM »

I think 6 people definately will be enough now. I'll have the files ready shortly ;) .

Lionus · « **Reply #911 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:27:12 AM »

Beta test under progress. Ignore the occasional explosions and coarse language.

Lionus · « **Reply #912 on:** December 17, 2011, 02:13:24 PM »

There ya go. Bit more testing to do, but she's a big mutha..

and punches like one too!

zgok · « **Reply #913 on:** December 17, 2011, 05:19:14 PM »

Wonderful Ship, its harpoints, and weapons coverage are superb, however, the main pulse disruptor cannon's projectile is too large, and short that it looks like a ball, with some tweaking it could be smaller and longer si it could look right, also the main pulse disruptor cannon's rate of fire is a bit too slow. Other than that, she is an incredibly amazing, and powerful ship.

DMWalsh79 · « **Reply #914 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:08:11 PM »

Nice screenies... I'm really surprised no one has tackled a new Rom Plasma Torp. I know there is a Rom Quantum out there but we need an updated Plasma.

Lionus · « **Reply #915 on:** December 18, 2011, 01:45:02 AM »

Okay, so far I've tested her against DJ's Generations Ent D, KM's stock Vorcha and Negh'Var, KM's Galor, Keldon and Hutet as well as KM's Kessok Heavy, witth following results:

Ent D: Very even match as long as medium plasma torps were used, but switching to heavy plasma torps tore the Galaxy class apart in the end.

Vorcha: They fought bravely but where smashed by 1.2kms worth of Romulan hospitality.

Negh'Var: This thing has rabies and it tore the warbird apart rather quickly.

Galor:.. went pop.

Keldon: .. also went pop, albeit took bit further and actually inflicted some damage.

Hutet: perfect match and even closer call than with the Galaxy.

Kessok Heavy: Didn't do too well..

My only niggle with this hardpoint is, that the ship acccelerates and decelerates bit too quickly for it's size and weight.

Know why it can do that?

It's in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

FarShot · « **Reply #917 on:** December 18, 2011, 03:29:50 AM »

Yes, weight means nothing in space. But guess what: mass does. Lionus is mostly right, larger mass vessels should have issues with acceleration.

Nihilus · « **Reply #918 on:** December 18, 2011, 05:14:32 AM »

I'm definitely liking her so far. She's pretty deadly in pairs

X_TheUnknown_X · « **Reply #919 on:** December 18, 2011, 07:08:18 AM »

I'm really liking the screenshots, you guys are some good angles on the Warbird.

Thanks to all the people who have participated in the Beta, and also those who have followed the project - offering comments and suggestions along the way. It's much appreciated.
With any luck, there'll be a curiously-shaped Christmas present for you all on BCFiles next weekend.
