Was thinking about releasing ship parts in a pack as nifs and base textures for people to kitbash.

The idea would be for a folder with nacelles, another with saucers etc so people and put their own ships together from these parts.

I have built a few ships now so have plenty of parts to put in the pack.

Is this some people would be intrested in? The only credit I would ask is for the original parts.

Also if any of the other modellers want to contribute ship parts as well let me know.

As a budding modeler myself, I would love to have something like a "parts" kit to play around with.

that actually sounds like a damn good idea.

and a tutorial for various bridge tools to make nacelle pylons and connections

This will be awesome, getting some modelling practice wouldnt be a bad idea. A cookie for such ingenuity.

Hmm. this would mean that someone could finally build a Coeur De Lion that isn't misaligned here and there..

Has a bit of a Star Trek: Starship Creator vibe to it; sounds good!

if there could be the parts of a Galaxy Class, someone could use those to kitbash the Nebula Class as seen in late season DS9 (USS Bonchune, for example) which hasnt yet been done for BC...
ive always wanted one of those lol

didn't Captain Russel build such kitbash ??? I'm sure I had it few years ago, built from SNS Galaxy parts, even haveing those additional 3 rows of windows on dorsal saucer

That sounds like an awesome idea.

Already planning on one of those when my Galaxy is finished.

Looks like this idea has promise I will start to create the folders for the various parts.

i dont think he did?

Nebula · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:55:51 AM »

He did. I remember, that's one of the reasons why I didn't get his Nebula pack.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2011, 01:12:09 PM »

hmm not sure if thats what i mean... the nebula class ships like uss bonchune clearly have a galaxy stardrive and saucer, i dont see any nebula ships in cr's pack that have those? the main difference is a larger stardrive than a normal nebula class and more rows of windows around the edge of the saucer... (as seen here http://voy.trekcore.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=141&page=6)
ah well, its no big deal... dont mean to drag the thread offtopic...

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2011, 01:23:54 PM »

they also have the Galaxy class Impulse engines and deflectors instead if the standard nebula ones, and the Hulls are the same shape as the galaxy class, unlike the studio model which was slightly different.
