Some spoilers for you guys.

WickedZombie45 has given me permission to poly reduce and use some of his vessels in Yesteryears. Below are some screenshots of the poly reduced and retextured models. There are a heap more but they still require retexturing.

Note: With the Romulan Stormbird, which version I use depends on what style of textures I use with the rest of the ships.

Federation Miranda Class Ligh Cruiser


Federation Oberth Class Repair Ship


Klingon K'Tinga Class Heavy Cruiser


Romulan Stormbird Class Heavy Cruiser

Grey Textures


Green Textures

Lookin good Majestic, all that's left for the fed is the Frigate right?

Thats correct. Plus the colony ship, and perhaps the freighter and construction ship not too sure on the last two yet.

I just contact Syf about the frigate, so I will keep you all posted. ;)

I love it! Good work, Majestic!

I only poly reduced her and reapplied the textures. She originally had around 30 textures, now she has 5.

Also this may peak some people interest. I based this off a model I found on battleclinic. I used Wz45's K'Tinga and parts of Syfs, Federation Constitution class to make this beauty. The funny thing is she is lower in pollies than the K'Tinga herself. :lol:



I still need to add Federation phaser emitters to the textures before she is fully complete.

An interesting ship. There's a design that fits in Federations.;) :thumbsup:

I am not the original designer of the concept but I have no problems with you using it in Federations mate. ;)

@ Paul. I will be looking at changing it to red or green at a later date, its only a texture alteration so can be done down the road. ;)

Nope its off the high poly model. I just revamp the textures and reapplied them to the reduced poly model. I also reduced poly the model. She is the Klingon's Miranda. ;)

There are currently two torpedo textures I have for them, the one seen on the Klingon K'Tinga and the one seen of the Federation Gorkon class.

I have yet decided which to use as a final product.

Update:

Progress is proceeding smoothly.

Thre has been a change in the fleet listings once again. A dreadnaught hull has been added to the fleet. Syf informed me that the Starfleet Command games have the dreadnaught between the cruisers and battleships so wolla thats where I have decided to put this one.

So now the combat list goes as follows:

Corvette
Frigate
Destroyer
Light Cruiser
Medium Cruiser
Heavy Cruiser
Dreadnaught
Light Battleship
Heavy Battleship

The Federation ship wise is almost complete. Syf is completing the Colony, frigate and dreadnaught classes for me. Then all I need to worry about is the stations for the Federation.

The Klingons are progressing. I have ships for all the combat classes with the exception of the Corvette, Frigate and Destroyer. I am looking for a ENT Raptor, ENT Bird of Prey and a TMP Bird of Prey to fill in the positions. I have yet to find any that meets the desired poly counts I am looking for (1000 for Corvette 1200 for Frigate and 1500 for Destroyer).

The Romulans. Well. I still haven't made a decision, these guys are going to be the hard ones. Suggestions are always welcome, I know some want green hulls and others want grey ones.

I have now got all the race logos. I found some old ones on my PC that were originally going to be for an old mod I was making a few years ago.

GUI's still haven't been attempted as I haven't got many good graphics yet. I will be opening up SFC 1 and taking some screenshots sometime soon and using them as the basis of the GUI's for the races.

Didn't you have a Raptor? If not, there is one for Bridge Commander!

Oh, and: it is not "wolla" it is "voilá". (Yep, learning French sucks.) ;)

Update time again.

As far as ships goes the Federation is complete, I recieved the last one this morning off of Syf. As for the Federation corvette as I am not happy with the design I got and I am actually considering on removing the corvette hull type, further news on that later when a decision is made.

If I do decide to remove the corvette each race will have 9 combat ships and 5 non combat ships so thats a total of 14 ships all together. I have yet to fully decide on weather the Assault ship will be campaign only or not that goes for the repair ship as well. Suggestions welcome on that subject.

The first screenshots have been released in the new screenshots thread.

There will also be some ships that are campaign only like the Federation Gorkon class heavy cruiser (Aka Federation K'Tinga).

As for balancing I have yet to talk about this. All classed will have increased strength so they can last longer in a fight. Build times will be increased also so you can't build cruisers in like 60 seconds flat like the stock game.

Nearly all weapons will have new or updated textures, and special weapons will be decreased. I have yet to decide what special weapons will be included for each of the races and I consider that a decision that can be considered down the road.

Still no word on the Romulans its a hard decision as the Romulan starbase I have is green, but most of the Romulan ships I want to use are grey. I am considering using a mixture of both.

I have retextured around 3 to 4 more Klingon ships now. I have all the cruisers, the dreadnaught and battleships now.

Breif update.

Well I have finally decided on a few things in this mod today. Firstly the corvette is gone. I decided to trash it after much thinking about it, so the frigate will be the weakest vessel in each races fleet.

Secondly the Romulans. I have been putting even more thought into this one. I read through the posts about what people pefer.

The Romulans are tricky as in TOS they had grey hulls and in TNG they had green ones. It is unknown when they went from grey to green, it could of been between ST7 and 2340 or like the Klingons (B'rel/D12) they could of done it in the 2270s/80s.

So I have decided that they will be having green hulls, as both Starfleet and the Klingon ships went through revamps in the 2270s so I have decided that the Romulans followed suite and had simular upgrades.

But don't expect warbirds here guys its a late 23rd/very early 24th century mod.

With the Federation, I have all the Federation ships hardpointed and ingame now so now all I need are the stations. I expect to have all the Klingon combat ships done soon as well, so I will only have to find the non-combat ships.

In regards to Klingon ships, if you're in lack of some high-end ones, what about doing one off the stock Qeh'ral from A2? This of course only if you need the dreadnaught/battlecruiser/battleship.
