And on the subject of galaxy class...

[Star Dragon]

The Gal X refits probably WILL happen in the future, but they might look differentand have differnt weapons cause of a certain event called VOYAGER ENDGAME he he..

   Thanks to Admiral Janeway some new weapon and armor systems will revolutionize ships from now on. This will affect future ship design and construction.

   As the Soverign is now the flasgship don't be surprised to someday see the sov-X or even Sov-XX (I have that model it's overkill!)

[StratComm]

The "Cheap Fix" solution to the Galaxy-X doesn't quite hold up either... from All Good Things we can tell that the Galaxy class was retired and only the Enterprise was saved for retrofit.  And there were only ever a handful of Galaxy-class ships built in the first place, most of which were destroyed in DS9.  As for Voyager, I fully expect it to be dropped from the equation as far as ST future tech goes, it was just too far-fetched.  The least they can do is drop the crap from Endgame.

In truth though, I don't expect a new series or movie to come in and introduce any new canon for future ships.  With the trend of Enterprise and the NextGen crew not doing any new movies, I don't know if Paramount will keep trying to keep the series alive.

If you missed it in Hard Light go here and watch the CONTINUING voyages of the 1701 Enterprise (IMHO it's better than Enterprise lol!) Plus support a worthy cause (optional)

They've inspired me to "Never Give up, Never Surrender!" Yeah wrong show but you know what I mean!

BTW  before you are quick to take them down remember THEY ARE FANS! Like if we got together and made a FS2 movie. so be kind...

Look at all the season 6/7 Dominion war battles in DS9. There are quite a few Galaxy and a lot survive. Also, they seem to be faster and more powerful than the 1701-D so its fair to conclude they've been upgraded (beyond the Generations bridge module upgrade)

The black chick in the red uniform looks reasonably hot. Otherwise sorry, I'm not impressed.

I doubt Paramount will give up their Trek audience. Its obvious their writers got lazy and went backwards for their next series. The direction Trek should have taken is inter-galactic, since they covered all quadrants, show-wise. With this new technology, I have no doubt that people would have hated a revisit of Voyager's trail of chaos in the delta quadrant or Odo's search for his mommy and daddy trails in the Gamma. Come to think of it, why didn't Voyager just head to the Gamma quadrant for a short cut back home? Silly hag man-lady captain.

ANYWAYZ, its time Trek broke out the TRANSWARP drive promised in Star Trek III. I think thats the next logical step, with complete and intentional disregard for Voyager's many UBER technological and transportational run ins (transwarp conduits, quantum slipstream, and Q + blondy elf girls' telekenesis). Take that technology, and start a "Trek" beyond the galactic rim.

Another possibility I had a thought of was a show based on the future dominance and corruption of the Federation, with much thanks to Section31. Every empire falls according to history, why not the federation. The central characters could pull off a maquis-like resistance to the now bloated federation.

Oh well, I guess my ideas are just that and will stay only in my head. BACK to converting more starships.

[Star Dragon]

What about theA ndromeda Galaxy? Isn't that the closest one? However the Andromedans fled it for some reason (TOS)... They can kick Starfleet's butt so why would we go there IF the reason was a war?

[Omniscaper]

Mr. Vyper, I think you are missing some texture files. The phaser banks on your Galaxy are missing. Either you removed them or the missing textures are rendering them invisible.

Trek is slowly bleeding to death......
Fortunately, projects like this tranfuse the blood quickly enough to keep it alive

A new trek series really needs something new. The reason why DS9 was good because it gave in many new concepts and diversity, not to mention managed to keep that "Boldly Go where no-one has gone before" Flavour without the "we're going but we're too lost and too far as well!!" Flavour of Voyager.
Hmm.....maybe a series based on pirates that travel all over the Alpha (and maybe Beta or gamma) quadrants that meet all the other races would work better :/

[Unknown Target]

I'm interested to know how you got the warp effects on the Galaxy X?

[Bobboau]

it's called photoshop

and the reason DS9 was so good was simply becase it had a story, charicters, and above all else, a huge ass ****ing interquadrant maga battle (based on World War 2, I always liked that)

[Omniscaper]

That effect is from BridgeCommander, which is the engine that picture was captured in. It would be nice to have streak effects added to the next build of FSO. Someone make that request please, it would give ships a nice effect for speed when afterburners are hit.

[Bobboau]

how is it done?
if I knew how to do it I might be able to recreate it

[Omniscaper]

Isn't motion blur something Directx-8 introduced into games, like Giants Citizen Kabuto and the current Need For Speed underground? I don't know anything about graphics coding, but I was under the impression that the Direct-X had something to do with some kind hardware assisted effect like motion blur.

The Klingon ships that the Enterprise fights in All Good Things.... were not Negh'vars. They were a vastly more powerful class called Voodreih (IIRC).

   Actually the reason that DS9 was good was because basically it copied Babylon 5 which was even better.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that

DS9 was pretty good in the later seaons though.

we could use it in SW conversion too I think

[vyper]

[q]Need For Speed underground?[/q]

They've buggered that up in the latest update so I'm not sure how it works.

Motion blur is probably a dx cap of some sort.
