Title: Franklin class "Minnow" getting it's rework finally
Post by: anduril on March 06, 2003, 07:58:26 am
She'll come out in Starfleet colors this time.

Mesh was reworked around the bridge, secondary was given a proper scallop and a clamshell and the warps got some new detail and channels cut in.

Wow. That's a pretty cool little ship there, dude. Is it gonna go up on your site or somewhere else?

And say, what ever happened to the USS Phoenix. I'm still lusting.

Thank-you anduril!

I love this ship!  (Currently it's my FF when I'm in TOS mode)  

I can't wait to see it updated!

It will become avail as will the others I will redo or have redone over time.

With the demise, yet again, of multiple servers it has been decided that The Galactic Fringe needs to move to it's own more permanent location.   Which should be in the fairly near future.

Hi Anduril
    Nice to see some of your work gracing the boards again. Looking forward to downloading this new minnow.
Take care and be well

Just a quick size comparison.  I think I'm going to go with this size.  May have to shrink the bridge module a bit tho.

I guess I'll just sit right back and and wait for the finish of this tiny ship to make its first fateful trip from Anduril's I/O ports.  I hope it'll sail more than three hours in SFC1, so that I can make its mate a mighty spacer man, with its skipper, too.  I suppose you don't need to be a BPV millionaire or his wife to buy it, though you might need to be a professor to fly it.   And garnish it with ginger and marjoram.

Aye maybe a wee bit laddie, but at its present size it lends the ship appropriate scale, i.e. makes ship hull look smaller in relation. I wouldnt change it very much, maybe 5% or so max.

I like the beat and give it a 84.  But I don't think I can dance to it.

But since you took the time to be creative on the reply I can take the time and put it out in sfc1 format too.
Does sfc1 understand .bmps?

As a fan of small, compact designs I do like this. Although I'm not that much of a fan of TMP/TOS designs, I reckon this would make a great model to do one of those "Well this is how a TNG version would look, followed by a future refit"

Why, much obliged!!

And, uh, is that a new site?

Post by: E_Look on March 08, 2003, 10:16:25 pm
Oh, Anduril, as to the .BMP's I think SFC1 can handle them.  If not, I'll use MS Paint or something and convert them to .PCX's... or what format are the texture files in?

Again, really, a thousand thanks.

I don't have SFC1, but what I heard is everything is the same except it does not support I-maps. So if you just remove the I-maps , not just the maps, but they need to be unassigned in the mod file as well. Then it should work.

It's kind of funny in a way.  Ghost and I must have put out nearly 300 ships for sfc1 but I never tried one in the game to see what format the textures can be in.  I always believed .bmps would work and since I've never received an email saying they didn't I'll just stick with that.  I was just curious.

Anyway, edited to add this.....

Those were the days...sorta...
