Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
Off topic much?
Actually I was making a jovial remark regarding the posted image of ancienct vessels (at least, what I assumed to be Getter's depiction of Ancient ships). I was simply expressing my opinion that the ships in said image resembled Jem'Hadar/Dominion ships. It seems to have been poorly expressed on my part.

Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
WTH???

I posted this (or THOUGHT I did) in the new ancient thread...  :confused:

Incidently these WERE ST ships by the artist, I simply fell in love with and wanted to port over as "ancients" off-shoot... When I finished retexturing them Sg-1 started the Ori storyline lol!!! That's why I joked about the origin.

Ah... yeah... they were split off and merged because non-trekkies like myself didn't realize that that was your intention.

(The timing sucks.. RL is getting in the way. Gonna move and no hookups yet for cable at new location , undeveloped land... Plus don't know if I will have my job long enough to get the eye surgeries I need.) So keep your fingers crossed till Early May.

Eww, Lasik?  Don't.  It's gross and I've heard way too many horror stories where it didn't go quite right.

Er, no. Lasik (formerly known as Radial Keratonomy sp?) is optional to get rid of glasses.

I have Cataracts (the lens of teh eye gets cloudy, milky white) and ecentually will go blind. they ned to slice open both eyes and take out the lens and put my perscription IN my eye.  Liek Lasik thaey can scre it up also but I have no choide. Here's the kicker I may need glases after that to boot! I'm just hoping my vision can be restored enough to drive my friggen car! (at this moment I have to be 4-5 inches from the screen to see what I am typing with my left eye as my right one is now shot.)

Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
Very sorry to hear about your predicament, I do hope you have your surgery and that your vision is restored :).

The ship models are beautiful :nod:. You've included some ships from the Star Fleet Universe, haven't you?

Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
TY!

   All I did was minor things needed for conversion. If it wasn't for the many great modlers who allowed the use of their models, none of what I have gathered would be possible.


Not quite sure what you meant by the SFU, can you be more specific? I gathered resources from most of the Trek games available (Armada, Vridge Commander SFC1-3, Klingon Academy ect..)

Jusy FYI, the Mod starts in LATE Kirk era (connnie TMP refit) as I despise TOS era designs though I love the series itself.

Ok, Lasik and RK are two completely different procedures.

Lasik uses a laser to reshape the cornea. Radial Keratotomy involves cuts made in the cornea with a very small scalpel. The cuts are in a radial pattern, hence the name of the surgery.

Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
yes but they do the same essential thing (get rid of glasses).

 And BTW is NOT what I am going to undergo. I was told the doctor is going to make an incision and will remove my clouded lenses and then replace them with the perscription. I really didn't care for further details and insisted I be put oiut for it. I get very gittery when something is near my eyes. It took 5 tries just to get the pressure test done. :D

Anymore questions on proceedures I suggest using google (I personally don't want to know).

You did use SFU ships, then. AFAIK Bridge Commander is about the Star Fleet Universe variant of the Star Trek Universe. So that would mean the Lyran, Hydran, ISC ships are in :D, aren't they?

As a die-hard Trekkie, I heartily approve of these models.  Great job.  Best of luck to you with your surgery, too. :)

You're confusing Bridge Commander with Starfleet Command.

Re: FS2 (Star Trek Academy) WIP thread.
Aye he is.

  SFC is based on the old SFB board/table-top game (think like Battletech).  Star Fleet battles has all teh original races of Trek that has a significant military force (Gorn, Hydrans, Lyrans, Tholians, ect..)


This is a SFC2 model:

Kizinti Fighter (Trek version of Kilrathi or living Tony the Tigers, "The're GREAT!!" :D ))





Not Trek but Jason Knight sent me his link to The G-Force Phoenix, (my glow test)... (I am such an OTAKU! ;) )
