Title: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: FourChan on September 15, 2008, 01:58:08 PM
This is a thread to let people know what are some of the ships they're missing out on, some great modders are out there and some of the ships on BC Files don't have as many downloads as the more celebrity ships (Not creating an insult there). So which are your favorite not known ships?

Mine has to be the Bonaveture-F, the ship is a powerful ship, what to me looks like a little cousin to the Enterprise-J. What suprises me is that the ship only has 169 downloads, the ship needs some more.

(And I know there's a thread about ships already, but that's about which are the best going, so this one's about the least known/downloaded :P)

Well, unless the screenshots posted don't do the ship justice, I really don't like the ship.

Don't you find it strange that all the old ships have poor textures. They could have easily of made them better but why didn't they. Even at the same resolution!!

Anyway, I think the Galaxy Evo Titan is an overlooked ship.

*cough cough* that's the best we could make the textures with the maps that were on the ship.

overlooked? Well, how about alot of rick sternbacks concepts? How about low poly models from A1, especialy the stock romulans such as the shrike and moder made ships like the Kaldor? Cardassians are under modeled as are Romulan. And we have nothing in the way of decent looking quality sona.

Are you so sure?



Well, we see as far back as 2004 that ships could be really high quality (SNS Galaxy). But I don't think that we just have better texturing skills now than when BC was back in it's early days. After all you increase the resolution and create it all in photoshop.

sooo - who else has suggestions of any overlooked ships?  (to keep the thread continuing ontopic)
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: Aeries on September 18, 2008, 05:45:04 PM
There was one ship that looked like almost a 25th century olympic class. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, but it sure looked neat... :)
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: JimmyB76 on September 18, 2008, 05:48:19 PM
well that was helpful :P   lol j/k

Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: ChronowerX_GT on September 18, 2008, 05:58:53 PM
That's quite nice. Wasn't the Olympic 25th Century anyway?

As for an overlooked ship I'm actually gonna say DJ's Galaxy Class. Apart from when it was first released, i've never seen it in the top 25 downloads on BCF. And when it's on potd's a lot of people always ask what Galaxy class is that.

I couldn't disagree more. It simply doesn't have the appeal the SNS does.

Truth is, DJs Galaxy Class is the only one I use cause of the Saucer Seperation. :P
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: Dalek on September 19, 2008, 02:43:44 PM
I feel that DJ's Galaxy is less vibrant than the SNS. The SNS sorta shouts "look at me!" while DJ's sorta sits there.
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: JimmyB76 on September 19, 2008, 03:03:27 PM
guys, lets please refrain from an SNS vs DJ galaxy discussion/debate in this thread... 
a separate thread can be made for that, in this forum, if you guys would like to discuss the pros and cons and such...

does anyone else have any other ships they feel should get more attention in the community?
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: FourChan on September 19, 2008, 10:55:26 PM
The Vulcan Ships released by Cliper, like the one just released today. I hope he makes an intrepid version.
Title: Re: Best Overlooked Starships (Any race)
Post by: Kirk on September 19, 2008, 10:58:08 PM
I completely disagree (again.) However, I think these (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/ENT_Challenger_Pack;45000) are pretty nifty.

I see many of you still like post nemesis sovereign, if you could point out which version you like most (V.1 or V.2 with black hull platings) it would be very helpfull for me in making V.3 ;)

as for the Best Overlooked Starship :
Century class
LC's Romulan Warbird
LC's & JLS Studios Voyager
Lint's Defiant
Novi Sad
Glenn's Nebula pack

there are of course many more and most probably I forgot something cuz I haven't drink my coffee yet :D these are my favs ATM

was my favorite for a loing time.
but you can see the similarities to the century and if you compare both, the supremus is missing alot of detail imo...

guys - i think the thread is starting to go off in a different direction lol 
this one isnt so much about what people's fav ships are, its moreso about which ships are pretty decent that may have not gotten many downloads or had much "spotlight"...  the unique ones, yet ones that people may have forgotten about that may deserve the attention or recognition they may not have...

Post by: ChronowerX_GT on September 24, 2008, 08:48:23 AM
The Zandura on BCF is a pretty intersting design. It has some potential. I think it's been overlooked.

How about the Clandestine??? j/k :D, although i do wish I could see it once in a while in the top 25 downloads. I think the CGI Voyager hasn't got as much attention as it should have.

Zandura: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Zandura;26424 (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Zandura;26424) I'm meant to be doing a new model of that with Century style textures but i've been busy.

CGI Voy: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/CGI_Voyager_Pack;85524 (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/CGI_Voyager_Pack;85524)

Sorry to go off topic here but what do you think of the parts that i've done? A lot of the origional textures are still on there.

Although Adonis already mentioned it, I have to second the Carthage.  Found Here: http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/carthage;43304


It's a nice ship, and definitely overlooked.  Only 578 downloads.

I made some speculars for mine because I used it so much.  Pic included.
