Mesh/Textures : Scotchy, P81 and scottpkeene

I just needed to silence Trashman's obsession







I found a sloppily put together model of the Galaxy-X created using Scotchy's Galaxy mesh. Once I finish with the TMP models, I'll work on the textures for the Galaxy-X textures.

PS: If you are impatient and have 3dsmax, I can hand over this side-project to you, Trashman.

Whoever decided that was a good design in the first place needs to be shot, though.

it certainly did spawn a lot of user created fugly starship vesses with nacelles growing out of it's arse like warts.

according to the startrek technical manual (yes i own one) nacels need to generate intercecting warp fields to warp space. they have a positive negative relationship so a starship must have an even number of nacells for the warp fields to be symetrical otherwise no ftl would be induced. but all these new treks have to be sacriligous to gene rodenberry's original vision. total herasy.

I secretly suspect they had a brand new model, but dropped it on the way to filming and ended up having to stick the leftovers onto the old model.

Amen to all your posts. I never did warm up to that design, despite its appearance in  the last episode of TNG. I think Roddenberry would have objected if he saw his Enterpise-D mutate into this, especially with that huge canon.

Brace yourselves for Trashman's rebuttals!

from what i've heard, nacelles warp coils need to be arranged in pairs... and the top nacelle on the X, has two...

anywho... http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/design.htm

the Galaxy X was made 'cuz they didn't wanna make an entirely new ship for just an episode or two (for upclose shots, too...tsk tsk)

Besides, when "All Good Things" was concluded the timeline that originated it ceaced to exist. They went from the normal Galaxy design to teh Soverign so logically you would eventually get the Soveriegn X (which I saw on BC files). It's not that I don't like the Gal-X, but it was a one shot.

Omni, now satify my obsession SOULWOLF!  He he he, actually we need DS9 now more...

Nice, in a modelling way. I never objected that much to the X since it was supposed to be something battered together in a time of conflict by Starfleet.

[Thorn]

The extra nacelle and n00b cannon aren't what bother me about that thing. Its the "antennae" and those stupid.. things sticking off the nacelle struts.

[vyper]

Antannae = Phaser cannons.

[Carl]

it's okay because the ship never existed.

Those little things on the top make it look like My Favorite Martian

The SoulWolf!!! I love that design!!!! I'm ON IT!!!

[MetalDestroyer]

Make us a Star trek ship pack omni.

[Getter Robo G]

I already resized it. It sports a crew of 1,000+ and has fighters

I just need you to arm it and make it glow.

give me to tomorrow and I'll post a dl I need to get ready for work. I spent the last few hours finishing and proof reading my latest chapter of fan fiction I have horrible spelling and frequently misspell 'teh' like almost every instance lol! See you guys in 16 or so hours!

 There is also another version of the design trend just the naclels and the bridge called the North Star (no main body) I will post that as well.
Wonder if you consider that a gunboat and not a battleship.

[Grimloq]

somebody make the nebula!

[Omniscaper]

Hmm.....I completely forgot about the Nebula!!! Sorry, Getter, your Soulrwolf have been bumped into the backburner!!!....

[Thorn]

Plan on making both variants, or just one?
