Yesteryears: The Starship Chronicles - Discussion Thread

[Majestic]

Any discussion or feedback related to The Starship Chronicles thread can be discussed in here.

 

[Syf]

I am excited about this.

Finally, we will be giving all you fans some more depth and details of the mod. At last, you the fan, will get a closer look at the hard work we've been doing to bring this mod to you. I truly hope everyone enjoys this featurette we're bringing you.

 

[Majestic]

The first one is in.

I hope you all enjoy it and I hope to receive some feedback as this is all still a test and try out phase so your responses and continue feedback will determine if this will continue.

 

[Syf]

This is this first of many (possible) previews of the models in Yesteryears. It's really up to you guys. Do you want to see these or not?

Don't be shy about it.

 

[Majestic]

Indeed, the success or failure of this new feature is entirely up to you the fans to decide. If there is enough interest we will continue, if not it well you all get the picture.

 

[Rodglas]

If you write them I will read.

[F-Bobby]

Now this is cool. Wow Im away for 6 months and look at all the stuff I miss.
I'd personally love some more info about the Ulysses Class Dreadnought.

 

[Majestic]

Yes, Syf and I have been busy for the past 6 months. The Ulysses class ay, I will see about adding it to the list. Unsure when the next update will be, still waiting on some more responses to see if all the effort is really worth it.

 

[Steven Kodaly]

I would be delighted to see what you can cook up, Majestic and Syf. Keep posting more information on these ships!

 

[Majestic]

Will do, once we get the pictures and the information sorted there will be another addition to the chronicles.

 

[Steven Kodaly]

Majestic, as I gather that you are placing Cardassian vessels into the Yesteryears mod, I would love to see what else you've cooked up with them - and how you and Syf will be fitting them into the game storyline.

 

[Majestic]

We currenly only have the Cardassian Battleship completed. When we have more on them will will show them off, just focusing on the main races at the moment.

 

[Malein]

I quote from the Chronicles thread.

The starship chronicles is a newly added feature that the 2A-A2 team is introducing and testing out.

What is the Starship Chronicles?
The starship chronicles is something that the 2A-A2 team who are responsible for producing Yesteryears are introducing. Every couple of weeks (time permitting) we will release detailed information, pictures and histories on the ships and stations of Yesteryears. Please note it will only be one ship or station at a time and it will be chosen at random.

Why is this being introduced?
We have decided to do something special for the MSFC Yesteryears fans. It gives you more information and content while you wait for the mod to be completed.

May I request a ship or station to be included in the next Starship Chronicles update?
You may by posting in this thread. There is no guarantee that we will take up the said request, but it never hurts to ask.

Who will be writing the Starship Chronicles?
Majestic will be doing the Starship Chronicles with assistance from Syf. Majestic is the 2A-A2 Publics Relations Officer for the team.

Plus Syf and I haven't had much time to work on this, but we assure you that in the next few weeks to post something new for you all.

 

[Syf]

For the last few weeks, I've been working an average of 75 hours each at my "day job". There are only 168 hours in a week. then you figure about 30 hours of sleep, 40 cooking/preparing meals for my kids. Then add in admin duties, PMs, Posts, bicycle repairs, Building a computer from scratch (including a custom case mod), teaching my kid to play Star Trek Armada 2, and spending family time with my kids (4 of them)... I haven't had much time to spare lately.

So, I apologize to everyone for not spending much time on this during the last few weeks.

 

[Steven Kodaly]

Well, Syf, at least you're spending time with your family. I hope your kid enjoys learning to play Armada II!

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

If you build it, they will come.

 

[Majestic]

Thanks to Syf, the next one is up. Feedback would be appreicated.

 

[Syf]

I said I had something up my sleeve... and there you have it. If you haven't looked at the Starship Chronicles thread yet, Get to it already...

Then we hope to see some feedback/questions/comments from you real soon. The more response we get, the more we'll give you!

You want this mod... Feedback, feedback, feedback (and be nice about it...) is what it's going to take. It's very inspiring to us modders. The same goes toward most all mods and modders.

 

[Steven Kodaly]

So, about that Constitution, as it has two torpedo launchers, does that rule out any stern-firing torpedoes?

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Beautiful guys. I have a question. Your Feseration Hero Ship, will it be Enterprise or Enterprise-A? I know, I know...it's exactly the same ship, but that little letter makes alot of difference to some people.

Also, I was wondering. Could you make a *Star Trek 6: Undiscovered Country* version of the D-7 but it has 2 photon torps on the front of the ship? I saw that somewhere on the web but I can't remember where.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

OMG Syf that Connie is one beautiful looking model. *trys not to drool* I especially am drawn to your texturing job and the textures themselves. (or Majestic's if he's the one that did it. )

Its the Enterprise-B as the mod is set after ST6, the Ent-A was decomissioned at the end of that movie.

The D7 only had one fore facing torpedeo launcher, the C7 has two on the nose.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

I should have read better, helps if you have the coffee before you hop on the computer.

Regarding the C-7...then it was here I saw it. May I have an updated screen shot please?

 

[Majestic]

I plan on adding new screenshots to the gallery every fortnight-month until the mod is released. The members can send me screenshots they make and I can uploaded them for them.

As for the C7, in YY she was built for an invasion of the Federaion before Praxis blew up. The C7 is the reason the Federation Ulysses was built.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Forgive me but I need to correct some knowledge. If I may, The D-7 from ST6 is actually a K'T'Inga class (notice the apostophie both before and after the "t") The I.K.S. Kronos One was also a K'T'Inga class.

 

[Syf]

One, this is more suited for the YY General chat area. Two, The special weapons and such have already been discussed and decided on between the team during earlier development.

 

[Majestic]

I have noted that before. Its called D7 in YY as I personally believe it wasn't called K'Tinga until it's TNG era refit.

Its the same as calling a Constitution Refit just a Constitution. Plus D7 matches the other units like the D6, D12, C7 and so on.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Point well takin. Duelly noted, I was just telling you guys what I found in Star Trek: The Magazine. The motion picture edition.

I will try to put things in the correct thread next time.

 

[Syf]

Thank you TMC. Keep up the good work.
