I have been following this site and BCFiles since I started playing BC years ago... I do not have the programs to mod, or create stuff... I have always had an idea though for a Federation Warbird... Picture taking a Galaxy class ship, rearrange the parts like a Romulan D'Deridex warbird... Saucer on top, attack pylons from saucer to nacelles, and pylons from nacelles to the engineering hull... It also would still have the ability to do Saucer seperation... Would love to hear someones input/comments....
Thanks

rule number one around here, no requests.

Not sure he was requesting KCS...more like asking for comments on the idea. Now if he had said "Can someone make this for me" I would have understood :)

sounds interesting though i dont think starfleet or the federation are "warbird" types... look how long it took them to create the defiant "escort"
but keep your ideas coming, we love ideas around here :D
-
ideas can tend to hover very closely to a request concept...
-
This idea has me thinking.

Agreed.

huh I thought something like this was made way back in 02 xD
-
i think youre right, Neb... or perhaps it was started and never finished, i dont know...
but i seem to recall thaat also being not too easy on the eyes to look at lol
-
Sorry,
I was not requesting, but I was seeking comments and maybe some other additional things that could be added to the concept...
Looking at baz1701s graphic, that is sort of what I was picturing..... Was also thinking if this ship had the saucer seperation capability, you could add the mega phaser cannon from the Galaxy X class onto both the saucer and engineering sections and would give a fight to most enemy ships.....
-
Let's not be too hard on him! I think it's a good idea :D
-
Ive always been a fan of the Federation Oberth Class design and the Romulan D'Deridex Class designs, and now the Federation Odyssey Class from Star Trek Online, because all 3 are sort have seperated from the engineering hulls, and look sleek... I would definately add the mega phaser cannons from the Galaxy X to both hulls, would make it so it could seperate, and if you really put some thinking to the design, could be a miniature fleet carrier with some modifications to the hull contours and layout... The only thing I have trouble thinking on and visioning is what kind of pylons to use to attach to both hulls, so it would still be possible to do saucer seperation. I would only picture this concept using the Galaxy Class parts... I tried to visualize the concept using Soveriegn and newer starship designs, and I believe that the Galaxy look, would be very menacing....
-
okay, now that this has been cleared up as not actually being a request....
why are you people bothering with the saucer at all? Just the e-Hulls, either horizontally or vertically would work.. there's also the idea of stretching a Miranda rollbar into Pseudo warbird wings for a TMP version.
oh, I also had a couple redeco ideas of my own to make a fed warbird. and wasn't there a busted warbird mod at one point that got patched with some spare sov parts?
-
you like oberth class? COOL :dance me too check out a fun design i did for new oberth class :D

Jimmy I know which ship you were on about. A Galaxy class varient that had a deflector/sensor pod on a roll bar coming off the nacelles

Okay that's beautiful :dance

"Beautiful" and "P81" is not something I would even consider in 2012... But then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
-
I was being facetious...that being said I have a HUGE P81 soft spot
-
knox's textures would be a lot better looking if the guy had saved the things in a high-resolution format or the art program's native format at any point. you can tell he put a lot of work, love, and effort into them. the problem is, he also shrunk the dang things to oblivion so that they're all one blurry smear.
-
You must remember though that P81 had made models and textures for a different game, with a very different set of standards, and quite a few of his models that are still being used to some degree were made before BC was even created. Back then, any kind of map over 512x512 was considered very high res, and considered a drain on system resources, which would cause game lag.
I know there was a set of high res textures by P81 created, that had pretty decent quality, but I have no idea where they are, or who has them.
-
I meant saved as in saved them somewhere else for later or for repairs or something.

I started on something that looked a lot like that around that time... I don't think I have any renders on this system. It was one of a bunch of concepts I threw together to start developing. I made a Vor'Cha replacement that drew a bit of attention, but I fell at the texturing hurdle, and it never saw general release.
I had a lot of issues converting my work, and eventually lost interest in trying - which is a pity, but there it is. I really should try and learn MAX some day soon.
