Now onto a side view... oh fun
Tus

Looks good. Get a front and rear view as well and I might just have a go at this.

don't like, one more stupid future trek design
-
looks like an average fed ship, nothing really special but worth downloading.

As per usual Terradyhne we see you with a wasted posting chastising someones designs. Obviously you should take a look at some of your own designs once in a while because not all yours are much cop.
-
Most of Terradhynne's stuff is remaking designs from FASA, KA or the various tech manuals so really if you wanna blame the designers go complain to the people who made FASA, KA and then manuals. I must agree with Terra here, I don't particularly like these post-TNG designs that just make Fed ships look just like the aliens - there's nothing really federation about them anymore except the colour scheme. That's just MO.
-
Well, I like it, whether or not she's a Feddie.
The more variety the better, I say.

Perhaps that might be the case but he's consistantly bashing most peoples designs on other forums and its something which can upset alot of newbie modellers. Something which "old time modellers" should take into account.

Its cool by me, only person i'm guaranteed to please every time is myself

Its true the way you phrase things are kinda harsh, if you would of said nah i dont like it, but nicely done, something nice to say rather than its stupid, shoot, remarks like that do disencourage people to model or mod
come on guys you guys know better, most of you have been here since sfc1, i would think by now you would know how to speak to people, even if you hate it, dont say it, its freakin dumb,
BTW I lke it, honestly
Im a TNG guy

Hey this bad boy is comming along sweet

Excellent work Tus!!!
But I thought I was going to draw out the final schematics...Uh well...I can't do them all :P
Now as for the Post TNG Fed stuff not looking like Feds...That is Funny...cause I was under the assumption that HUNDREDS OF WORLDS comprised the federation and starfleet...so it would stand to reason that in Post TNG THOUSANDS of worlds could have comprised the federation or the federation could just have joined another "federation" of sorts...and lets not forget the simple aspect of the Constant Time travelling that occurs in the ST universe...and the TONS (as in the infinte number of) alternate realities. All this could have and would have effected starship designing in the future.
So for all you "Traditionalists" out there cut a guy some slack ok...

the front view, though wish i could make this look better
. well this one is about to change but its going to take me a day or so 
-
Great first shot man...I am impressed
I talked to you on what you could do to make the ship alittle more weighted
and bulked out
I look foward to your next update

well, she's too flat in my opinion. The center "body" needs more decks.
-
Well, I love it (I know, I know, it figures, right?).
If you moved the nacelles with the arms back just a tad it would be perfect IMO.

Hmmm, perhaps adapting a slight alteration on the bridge module might help??
-
Very nice indeed.The more varients the better.Ok somebody build it please so I can go test fly her

-MP
-
hey thanks for the suggestions. as it stands right now the current forward view is about to be scraped and redone since i'm not getting anywhere with it at the momement. Hopefully a fresh start will get me on the right track
Tus
-
Well, I have whipped together a 3d drawing based on your blueprint for you to use a visual aid. I tried to keep it as close as possible to your original drawing, but it should help you on your way.
-
thanks dude
-
Tus, the suggestion made about increase the decks in the body sounds good, or the brigde module standing out too, I cant wait to fly her

Nice job Raven
great assist
-
Thanks........btw, you never commented on what you thought of the Saif. The mesh is done. If you want a link to the thread on BCU, I will provide it.

Aye please do
-
small update, i decided to instead build this thing a little differntly, part by part
-
It will be easier if I just do this......
She will be ready for SFC shortly. Here is the entire thread if you want to see it from start to finish.
http://dynamic3.gamespy.com/~bridgecommander/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13887&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
People love this design, and I will be sure to let them know that one of your quick sketches inpired the concept it is based on.
-
That ship is simply astonishing!
I can't wait to d/l her and the D'Voridex. That wil be one happy day!
Now back to our sponsor.
-
another update, this is where currently am. its still a work in progress though so its bound to change again

Hey, I like that a lot! I personally would like to see the warp engines thinner then the primary hull, but this makes for a good change. I just adore Federation ships with the warp engines fused to the primary hull. The only problem is, that they have to be done just right with a certain amount of artistic finesse. I think this concept carries alot of that quality. I also like the notched sauser. This design gets an A + + + + + from me. Good job!
-
Amazing stuff Tus Sir,I look forward to D/L them all. I have a suggestion,I don't know how well it'll go over
But,here goes.You mentioned not being happy with the front of the new Sabre,perhaps An intrepid style front end " modified of course to match your design" would give it some "beef".Just my $.02 
-MP
-
lol, wouldn't work to well, expecially in trying to modify these schematics. but you are right, i was unhappy with the front end...in the first attempt
the second attempt i think beefed it up a good bit
. though ur suggestion would make an interesting combination, just how the hell to do it is the question 
Tus
-
Tus. Is this definately the finished article?? If so I'll begin construction of the model within the next couple of days (although the texture might have to be provided by someone who can make them as I suck at texture creation). Also is there anything specific which I should know before proceeding (with regards to relative size to another vessel class, and escape pod location etc.etc).
-
Sorry for the double posting but this was necessary. Tus. if you read this before checking your PM, the models finished. I've rendered up some images but the model itself is currently untextured. I might be able to find something to suit but it wouldn't be as good as totally scratch made ones specifically for this model. Its poly count (for everyones benefit) is a meagre 1848 so its about average. I've increased the thickness of the main hull, made the nacelles a bit chunkier as they didn't look right beforehand. The bridge module stands up quite a bit higher than the rest of the model but I believe still suits it okay. As it stands I'm quite happy with the results (considering I tend to model much lower poly and with much less detail). I've not included any escape pods, phaser array strips or registry meshes as this would heavily increase the models poly count overall, and I'm not willing to do that.
Anyway, give me a yell and I'll email these few rendered images so you can see the finished item.
-
got ur pm first and replied so my e-mail is there now. i'll probably try to do up the textures myself if i can, getting descent with it now
anyways, looking forward to seeing them pics 
Tus
-
Email sent Tus. If you want to post those renders here then feel free. That way hopefully some nice person will be able to create some textures for it.
-
a few pictures of the majors work
if anybody is up to doing textures (pretty please) let one of us know. thanks
-
lookin pretty evil
-
Very nice indeed !

Hmmm, doesn't really look like a Federation ship...
Sorta reminds me of the NSEA Protector.

Looking' great!
