I know I should have mentioned this a LONG time ago...
BUT... Is there a way you can make the Registration area a seperate texture so it's coordinates are maintained yet you can SWAP out registrations as needed? (so far I tried the chage texture command but I think I screwed up or it failed, I DID get change model to work!) However having 12 Connie models is not feasible!!!
Still I don't relish the though of having like 3 Connies show up in a battle and they all have 1701a on them! (he he wouldn't Tiberius crap a brick though as the ISS Ent gets outnumbered by two more Kirks?)
This is sounding more and more like a bad fanfiction, maybe I'll use it!
Hmm if I may be so bold how about this one? Use photoshop to make the textures same as Connie's color, as the bright white doesn't do it justice. It is 2880 vertices, I don't know how many polies but also a "low poly" (to us) A KA model by Kt'Hyla. For KA's limitations this guy does some amazing sh*t! If you could make glowmaps for the windows then this thing would rock!
What do you think?
I can understand you're having trouble making missions or a storyline. Translating to FS2 from a Cap's POV is gonna be, interesting to say the least!
I'm lucky that I approached this from the fighter's POV and spent all this time tracking down fighters of the different Trek races. Now I have to do research into Nova Squad and then figure out WHY you end up in the conflicts and situations you find yourself in, as well as why these races fight you (plus how you may end up involved with section 31)... I have about 1/4 of the models I think I need though.
Remember how you participated in the Vasudan pilot exchange program? I was thinking of doing something similiar but with the Klingons or the Romulans even...
I don't know SQUAT about the Excelsior (aside that a strategically placed wrench and some selected iso-chips make it a moot threat, he he)... So do the one that looks the BEST. I would guess that would be the ENT-B version, yes?
AS for Trek ship sizes, I think they are a little small chart wise, but I can live with that. However in the FS2 engine I cannot! By making them conform to exact book figures in game you lose the feel of being immersed in the Trek universe IMHO. If I am in a runabout, or the Delta Flyer, or a Peregrine I want to feel tiny and vulnerable. I have a Space Dock Transport Shuttle and want to recreate the STMP intro scene where Scotty took Kirk to ENT-A and fly those waypoints! BC models do make people's mouths drop, but also give them a sense of presence. Like, "That's a big ship!"..."Not so big as her captain!"
Yes one of the BIGGEST offenders IS the Defiant. I take a type 4 Janeway shuttle out for a spin (which is smaller than a Defiant's Runabout) and it won't even fit through the Defiant's shuttle bay hatch underneath!!!) That's just rediculous!. Keep in mind the Defiant HAS 15 decks! It is by no means a "Little Ship" (looks for any enraged Klingons)
l8tr!
