• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

Hah, tasty? That's cute :p My good ol' Archangel Class design is gonna stay in the back burner for the time being, along with several that Majestic has in store for us. Priority is an issue here and Maj's COE is on top of the list.

Speaking of textures, it wont be much of hassle compared to the Dawnstar. With templates ready, its just a matter of drawing the hull itself and a little bit of imagination. Reference pics would also be needed if we were to copy a design, like Koifish's Jigoku. And don't worry Maj, with my keen eye on aesthetics, every single one's gonna be a consistent beaut'. :D

In case you've forgotten I have made a Jigoku, with my own touch of course and I have a in progress Hiamse class also by Kiofish.

But yes I have a heap of designs I was to re-produce/create, some designs from others and some my own creation.

I plan to get a beta of COE out hopefully in the next few weeks from there I'll see what else I have to release and what people would like available from my personal archive and then I'll certainly look at getting back to my Midway Modelling Project. :)

Ah yes, thanks for the heads up. Will have to go look at the progress at SFM to get some ideas on the textures. :cool:

Something similar to the Dawnstar with a bit of Intrepid thrown in would be good. When I do get up to it, I'll set up templates and the like for you. :thumbsup:

I'd be willing to help with ideas in regards to textures, I may not be perfect, but I don't think any of my ideas would hurt. If you need input, send me screenshots of what you have so far (several different angles preferably, as well as a couple from a darker map to see the glow patterns if you wish).

Once we begin a new ship, Majestic will set up a WIP thread so everybody in the community can see the progress and like you said, give input and the lot. This is all planned in the long term btw.

Indeed, I can't see us getting to this for a couple of months at the earliest, both Jetfreak and I have a few projects of our own we want to finish up and release before we start tackling new ships.

For threads of previous incomplete WIP's of mine visit the following threads. Most apart from the Horta just need texturing, the Horta requires some further modelling before she is complete and ready to be textured.

That Athos Class looks like a 23rd century Strider. ;)

It's actually intended to be a destroyer like the Defiant and Sabre classes or a small gunship like the Cardassian Kaldor for COE.

And I think you mean a 24th century. :)
