Title: Hickman Released!
Post by: Captain Ron on February 14, 2004, 05:54:46 pm
Well here she is available for download now at TCS. The Hickman Class (Hikerman in the picture) is a cross between a War Destroyer and a Light Cruiser.

 Here is the place she can be found on page 2 know as the USS Hickman




-Enjoy!

Looks great!  I'm really liking the blue and white paint-scheme.  Any chance of doing a retex of P81's Knox FF?

Very bad ass. I'l find a good model folder for this CL. Thanks... Nice job.

Btw... It's looking like a good bridge between the CL and NCL/NCA's...

DL'ing now! This was a great idea, Captain Ron!

This reminds me of something you'd read about in a scenario where FCL hulls were peiced together as quickly as and thrown into battle against an enemy in order to cover a breach in a defensive perimeter some where...

So, how much longer before we see your non-Federation retexture work?

I don't know...
I am still not happy with the Romulans or the ISS stuff yet so it is still in the reworking phase. Once that gets finalized in my head and I like what I see I will release it. I still have not decided on a colour/contrase scheme for the Romulans yet so they change almost every time I work on them.

Well, I got the BC pic gallery up at BCU, the only prob really comes from having to upsize a 256 lightmap to 1024...it shows a pixilated foreward spotlight,  but otherwise looks nice with the red markings.

Actually Neokeade has the new file with the 512 x 512 light map, but the saucer is still 1024 x 1024 which I think he plans to shrink. I made a 1024 x 1024 light map for as well but at 3000+ k each they made the file to large, and since they are Light map they really don't need that resolution.

And Bump to keep this one alive a bit longer.

Post by: Kaenyne on February 17, 2004, 10:23:10 am
Don't worry, Captain!

The Hickman is alive and well in my game!  

BTW, what's up your sleeve now?

captain can you send me the part of the ship, i need the pylon that hold the torpedo, i need it to make a ship (or try to make it), also do you have the megaphaser not in group but separatly?, o got some miranda class but the part are in group only.
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Captain Ron on February 17, 2004, 11:30:51 am
Actually you will have to check with NeoKeade in the BCU forums he made the ship, as my modelling skills suck. I have done a few things before mostly in the cut and paste sort of way, and the resize but that is as far as i got; been more interested in textures.
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Captain Ron on February 17, 2004, 09:26:14 pm
And Bump
Title: Re: Hickman Released!

Hey Captain Ron!

Ya know, I REALLY like this ship. She has quickly grown on me.

Would you be in the mood to make some new color textures for her like you did the Excelsior and Ironcross.

You know, like red, green, yellow, dark blue, etc.

Just asking...

Wasn't planning on other versions yet.

Still have allot of things to try to get done and out before I start playing with that again.

Post by: Captain Ron on February 20, 2004, 01:20:24 am
And the last bump by me.
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Kaenyne on February 24, 2004, 08:30:12 am
...but not the last bump!    
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Kaenyne on March 11, 2004, 01:29:02 pm
Bumpin' 'cause I really think this ship is cool!

(and I think the Captain knows why as well...)  
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Chrystoff on March 11, 2004, 02:09:54 pm
This ship is great! It's exactly what I needed to fill my heavy destroyer slot. Plus I have an excuse to put FARA firing torpedoes on my heavy destoyers.  
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Kaenyne on March 11, 2004, 02:26:25 pm
She is a cool ship, ain't she?

Something about her really clicks with me.

Yup, I'm hopeless.

Captain Ron, I seldom make requests, but I have to ask this: There is a Constellation class starship model that was made by Cleeve. It is a very low poly model, but it looks good. I was wondering if you had considered applying your excellent retexture sceme  to that model. Thoughts?  
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Captain Ron on March 15, 2004, 10:39:38 am
I don't know most of the stuff from TNG I have not really looked. I have the Enterprise C & D and that is about it. So I don't know if I have any plans for that ship or not, guess it will come down to how much work is involved in it.
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Chrystoff on March 15, 2004, 10:54:13 am
I understand. It never hurts to ask.  
Title: Re: Hickman Released!
Post by: Dizzy on April 18, 2004, 07:06:55 pm
Bump!

looks like you are really getting the hang of those CL's Ron...  good job !!

I personally would love to see Captain Ron tackle Cleeve's Excellantia Class.It could use a texture upgrade.
