This just for you, Prophet. Be happy



I can do the textures once someone uvmaps it.

[Prophet]

I thank you and am very pleased.

Thought it does look like Nomad from the original Star Trek....

[I_E_Maverick]

LODs and debris now done for ISA Victory, VE Planetkiller and CRRutarian!

[Pnakotus]

Is there a reason the poly counts are kept low?

[I_E_Maverick]

because everyone should be able to play it, not just people with high end machines.
you surely want to play with an acceptable framerate, not with 5 or 6 fps

[aipz]

As the TBP is extremely CPU friendly!
You don't need x GB of DDR RAM to play it or a x.x Ghz CPU with x> 256 MB graphic card!

My humble PC (Celeron 600 Mhz                384 MB SDRAM 133 Mhz with GeForce $4 MX 440 64 MB DDR) would like to thank the makers of TBP for the possibility of playing on 640*480 with most high graphic settings on without any slowdowns!

The game's should have spirit (sth special), not only amuse...
Such is the TBP!

And for that I honour with this post the whole TBP staff !

Lots of ships > few high poly ships.

I recall hearing that someone has a Hi-poly Aurora awaiting conversion, and that there are plans for a hi-poly Nova class (ie. no more 4-sided "round" turret barrels).  I also watched S5 "A Paragon of Animals" recently, and noticed some closeup, hi-detail shots of the Zyphers that could be used for the creation of a hi-poly model.

[IPAndrews]

What did I just say?

[I_E_Maverick]

IPAndrews, can you edit your to do list at the beginning?

the ISAVictory and CRRutarian are finished, VEPlanetkiller should be finished, too. I think DK Cruiser, too.

right now i am working on the DK Mothership, the maintance Bot and the EA Explorer.
DK Mothership has LOD0 mostly done, maintance bot has LOD0 and textures, EA Explorer has LODs but no textures yet.

[IPAndrews]

Yeah sure. Anyone got any requests for ships they'd like to see added to the list? I've added the Brakiri Riva (because personally I quite like it).

[Raapys]

I would like to see more races. And more non-combat ships like transports, etc,. This is hard to do, though, since we don't get to see many non-earth-alliance non-combat ships in the show. And I'm not sure how you feel about creating new ships.

Anyways, the amount of different EA ships, and ships in general, is getting really impressive, good work!

[I_E_Maverick]

i will do my best

btw, i started the Bluestar, explorer LOD0 is finished and the avenger too

[karajorma]

FA could use a narn transport of some kind. Apparently most people have been using EA Shuttles cause there is nothing suitable to use for the Narn.

[IPAndrews]

Sigma was supposed to be texturing the Narn Transport

[Raapys]

Is it just me or is Maverick working inhumanely fast?

[IPAndrews]

All that's slowing him down is the somewhat picky Max pof exporter. Once he gets that sussed you can pretty much call this whole mod complete.

[Fodder]

A spacesuit with a PPG and a briefcase nuke.  2m tall is not a lot of polys right?

So it seems...
I don't pay attention to this thread for a while and Maverick just completed like half of the ships on a whim. Way to go!

[IPAndrews]

Styxx has now offered to help us out with the pof exporter too.
