BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
Is it going to be second UEF destroyer or something like that?

This is the scale that The E will release the model at when he's finished working on it.

Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
Are there plans to incorporate this design into future BP chapters?

Well here's a general rule of thumb:

If it's awesome, then most probably :P

That makes me have higher hopes for the Vexor.

First off all: Awesome work The E.
Second: This should be probably be discussed in the BP subforum, but:
How would one explain things like the Vexor and this beauty created by The E appearing in BP?

 
Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
Awesome work, man! Say, would you mind sending me the files of it when you're done? :D

While they desperately need every available ressources to keep their shrinking fleet running?
One of these could be the project, but I doubt that ;)

Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
I'll say it again, in case Darius wasn't clear enough, this ship is at this time not scheduled for a BP appearance. It is "merely" a test object on which I am learning to UV a model (thanks to an awesome tutorial made by pecenipicek). Once I'm done, and once I found someone willing to actually texture it, I will release it publically.

Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
I accept that statement, though use of the phrase "at this time not scheduled for" by its nature allows room for a potential choice to include it in the future.  ;7.  Also, several ships used in BP have themselves been publicly released many years before BP existed, so just because it gets released separately, doesn't mean that it can't be chosen for inclusion later.  I therefore feel it within my right to speculate on its potential role in the UEF, should it be decided to add it to their fleet.

On a detail standpoint, the forward hull appears somewhat under-detailed when compared to the rest of the ship.  Do you plan on augmenting that section, or is it to remain smooth for protective armor purposes?

Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
I'm still thinking about that. I like the general sleekness of it, and I won't break that up with greeblage. However, the nose area (where the radome used to be) certainly could benefit from more detailing.

Re: BP derail (Split from Newbie makes starships)
If you decide to incorporate it into BP, you could always rewrite the backstory a bit, so that each destroyer is a unique piece of work.
So the Solaris could be a Solaris, the Toutatis a Vexor and the Eris something else.

Of course it would mean re-balancing the one mission were the big T appears, though since it totally overwhelms the Hood (after the AWACS is gone anyway) that shouldn't be much of a problem.

Also I can't seem to find the thread this was split from... can anyone give me a link please, so I know exactly what I am talking about here?

It's this thread, and specifically this ship:

Who said they would appear in BP ?
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

I actually really like this idea.

Nobody did. Darius implied that it was a possibility, and the rest of us are discussing how the BP team might be able to do it, should they choose to do so.
