Instead of spending time on developing a phaser beam solution for fighters, you could go for a bit of Trek accuracy. In "What You Leave Behind", when Sisko orders the one-man fighters into action, we can clearly see that their phaser cannons are not beams, but rather are pulse-based like the Defiant-class phasers. That type of cannon behaves more like a FS2 fighter's primary weapons (Prometheus anyone?) than a beam... could make things a LOT easier...

[Krackers87]

thats what i had in mind.

[Star Dragon]

Thanks to greywolf we do have a pulse phasor fro teh defiant (looks cool in game also! Just need to set timing right) he mad eit for his USS raptor, but I simply armed Ludi's Defiant with it and bham! plus with my quantons and photons the defiant rocks!

   BTW the phaser I made looks silly when moving cause it makes multiples beams till teh ship stays still and fires, but this ws for testing only!! these starships have no turrents and are using fighter weapons fro now. I intend to arm them with Sreds adn simply rename then Phaser type X's (Phaser 10's were teh standard) now something special later for the soverigns and sations as they are armed with phasr XII's (12's) 60% more powerful beam output... anyway I am counting on Krackers to arm teh .pof with turrents after I finish resizing teh NEW ones Ludi cooked up!

 yes here is the link again for those who don't know about FS2Secotr! Ludi mailed me adn told me to check out his new SFC conversions!!! His texture maps are F-ing Beautiful! I bet teh SCP people could have a field day adding shine and glow points to these!! I bet they would look real!

I am still working on DVD burner, plus will keep you updated on my progresss. with these new ships to work on (including an awesome borg unimatrix and transwarp hub!!! I will be busy for rest of this month just for Star Trek (who knew?) LOL I look forward to geting this done ASAP and sending to you Krackers.. that is since you didn't mention anything abut how I resized all teh pof's I worked on and stuff.. (average ship in ST fromt eh models I have are now 1600 meters comparable to an orion)

BTW this is the phaster test when it works right and the ship are on target... BTW the ships are hard to see but are all attacking a borg cube, they are: Enterprise F, Enterprise A, Klingon Vorcha, Romulan Diderex Warbird, adn the Defiant... enjoy!

StarDragon..you want the Galaxy-X or not?

[The Admiral]

Now we are cookin...........................

[Grey Wolf]

I have a Soyuz if anyone wants it. It's from a BC mod I never finished, currently it's in DXF form. I had a COB somewhere, but I'm not sure where it went....

[Star Dragon]

Sorry for lag, lost my cookies! Didn't know there were new posts here..

Trash man look at this pic real close upper left... Ludi's Galaxy X next to galaxy..

http://photo.starblvd.net/Star_Dragon/5-2-2-1061829439?m=0&pg=4&ro=1&co=1

Consider joining Kracker's Team? we need the po'f edited to have turrents...

Once I crack my DVD burner problem I am sending him my resized pofs and torps...

   The reason I haven't mailed it out yet is I am including EVERYTHING I have including the high poly models I can't use, that can be used for renders (loading screens) and movies, and other junk... MOst is ST related, but I am not gonna sift through it to burn..

Will keep you ALL informed as I make more progress..

Sounds great. Thank you again for all that you are doing. Ill also be sure to mention you when i get round to updating STTC

[TheCelestialOne]

I'll help anyone who is making an ST mod. I can table edit, write stories & FRED

[Charmande]

I downloaded a bunch of those ST ships from F2S recently and have been playing with them ever since.  If you need any of those little icons for the ships loadout screen, I should be able to make some, I already made one for the USS Norway.

Can you show us a picture of a photon or quantum torpedo?  Ingame?

[TrashMan]

Methinks my Galaxy-X looks better...

Give me your e-mail and I'll send the Max scene + texture to you, so you can judge it by yourself.
Allso, methinks Voyager is a bit smaller compared to the Galaxy...

[Star Dragon]

I will post in a few minutes and make some screenines of ships I have armed and we will go ballistic against DS9.. (I will up it's hit point s and try to make a massive klingon assualt. I hope this comes out ok!

   BTW I haven't armed many ships because I was waiting for someone like Krackers to come along who cn add real turrents to teh models.. Only for testin gpurposes they are armed as fighters.

   I am very sorry if I offended any PURISTS out there but I figured it made mre sence that if a Galaxy class holds 1000 people, and voyager does NOT that the size should reflect that. BUT they have alreasy been resized adn can eaisly be resized again. I made each one by feel in comparsion of existing FS2 fightercraft. I've been really busy at work so I will try to solve my computer problems asap before these people fade into the woodwork!!



  did you say FREDDER? We can get an actualy fredder? (and not my lame attempts of a mission)... COOL!!! Snatch this guy up Krackers!  If I remember correctly he said he wanted to voice act also..  See you guys in an hour or so!

[TheCelestialOne]

I'm already in service for the STTC But I heard the STTC was on a hold so I guessed you were up to a new thing

[Star Dragon]

As for Installations I have NO CLUE! arming them with figther weapons makes them spin all around and go nutz! So I made ds9 play dead

   Here you can see some of the klingon ships I armed as well as the defiant and some type 4 shuttles (I still have to reduce their size by half, ops!) but hopefully you can seee them firing phasers and using photons... the second pic was a photon fest (they are really small so look closely!)..

I hope you enjoyed them!!

As I write this for this weekend I am going over all the stable models and rooting out the unstable ones... if worse comes to worse I will just test out klingon stuff and send it out to Krackers to then find webspace and relase it as a pack to mod team members after he turrents them, next will be federation pack, then others.. (borg, romulan, cardassian, breen, dominion, and 8472) I have no ferrengi ships (or desire any LOL!) he he..

[neo_hermes]

cool DS9
Very cool

[Grey Wolf]

Stardragon, do you want the Soyuz-class model (it's the modified Miranda/Reliant-class ship, the only time it was in the series was in the ST:TNG episode where the Enterprise was caught in the temporal loop)

[Star Dragon]

Sure, but only if it is a majhor modification as there are 3 or 4 reliant/miranda based models in ludi's packs... In fact let me check first. that name sounds familliar!!!

[Grey Wolf]

It's basically a heavily armed revision that was used as a border patrol ship, at least according to most sources.
Soyuz:

Wrath of Kahn era Miranda:

[Star Dragon]

That certainly IS a major modification (from the profile it appears to have two weapon pylons, one above and one below the rear hull).

   Send me the cob/pof and I'll see how it looks/feels if your up for it then.

   I'll resize it to match the other hulls of that class, and related classes. Then make some screens of it in action for you with the photons ect...

UPDATE>>>

   DVD writer still f-ing up so scrapping that idea and gonna just use CD-R (unless you guys have a fast connection, I'd then recommend meeting in a freespace2 chat room inyahoo so we can voice chat and I can send you files in RAR'ed Groups).  FIRST I will finish incorperating the newest models by Ludi, and then I will go back and re-check the model folder to make sure only stable models that work in fred are in there. I will make a seperate folder called WIP for the shards of death models. Also I will make a new folder called HIGH poly models. it will be up to teh modlers to optimize any possible for use after reducing poly's and intersecting ones... Some of the high poly ones look spectacular/interesting so I hope some can be used in game.

Will keep this thread current with progress..

[Star Dragon]

Ok as you can see in the screenshot I finished resizing the 8472 fleet.  Only one ship is missing the 8472 mothership (with two texture schemes)... I sent Krckers the .rar files of all the .pofs and then all the textues so he can begin turrenting them and adding subsystems...


     The ships are: 8472 warriorr (1&2), destoryer, frigate, battleship, transmuter, behemoth, scout (fighter), and two cruisers that look similiar to teh defiant in terms of size adn capabilities (those tricky buggers!)

http://photo.starblvd.net/Star_Dragon/2-5-5-1072460566?m=0&pg=1&ro=4&co=4

Hey Krackers, I am also gonna send you Defiant for testing purposes against otehr ships as it is more like a fighter than the cruiser it is as in manuverability and speed. plus the fighter weapons work great for it. I armed it with pulse phasers and photons.

  So that means I am sending you the weapons I have so far. GW's pulse phasers, plus my torpedoes, and the original borg torpedo by Phoenix V.

  Oh and for the hell of it my messed up fighter phaser arrayII


Check your mail!

BTW can you send me your AKIRA? Mine doesn't work in game (shards of death)...
