Hello:
That fighter looks very nice, it would be interesting to see it in 3d.

And I agree that 500 polygons is a good count for fighters, specially if used in FleetOps as their updated engine allows for more polies without lag (Borg Cube having 10000+ polies ).

I go with counts that MaP once suggested, so keep it between 400-600 polies, and it should be fine.

 

[Adm_Z]

lol, 500 polys doesn't leave much room to work with. 1000 polys is fine for fleetops. The polycount makes little difference in performance for FO, its the meshgroups that cause problems. a ship with 500 polys isn't going to be very accurate either...

Of course I only say this because my own ship is around 1300, and I'm going to have a lot of them... 500 just doesn't seem like a lot to me.

ok, i'll just work on the finer details till then, missles, hard launchers, pulse bay design, and the tail design, i'll atempt an actual full model when i get those.

Ortho renders anyone? ORTHO I TELL YOU!!!! lol

Edit, i always wnated more windows in my room

I'm really liking the flow to the design of the Cardassian fighter. Great work Hellkite.

If this is being built for FO I would go as far as 2k for the fighter, if for stock A2 I would average at 500-600, maybe go as far as just under 1k.

As others have said FO has upgraded graphics where one can have higher poly models and one would be crazy not to take advantage of it.

But the Borg models in FO are a tad too high poly and do cause me lag, it's one of a few reasons I don't like playing games with Borg in it. Personally for a ship I wouldn't surpass 7,000 for a large not built often ship and average large unit I would have as 5,500-6,000.

As for the Cardassians, one of my later projects is to bring a new style to the Cardassians, including all new textures designed by me and I would be happy to make some if not all of your Cardassian designs part of this. However his is way off atm as I have a very more unique projects I want to do first, some new most not.

Zelph as you ask for here is another view

 

[Zelph]

Sweet! Good stuff, this takes care of most everything I was wondering about. Now, to just get Milkshape to cooperate...

 

[Styer_Crisis]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......... i might attempt that one next

Tholian outpost

 

[Terra_Inc]

Gotta love it!

 

[Majestic]

Great tholian station.

 

[Hellkite]

Thanks it from the Star Trek : Knight's Rising Fanfic

It will get shattered in a federation offensive counter strike not long after the battle of sedge of bloodly Outpost 213

Think of as a shuttle sized USS Incursion

the Snipe is equipped a holographic masking system allowing her to enter hostile regions disguised as local traffic.

Dahar Class battle carrier

 

[Hellkite]

No comments they the last two must be epic failures

I real like my Dahar Class battle carrier I must redouble my efforts then.

 

[Majestic]

I rather like it personally Hk, gives a real Klingon feel to it.

I totally missed the Federation one, would make a excellent shuttle for the USS Incursion.

 

[thunderfoot]

I wouldn't call them 'fails'. Not true at all.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Lieks them a lot!
Where are the hangar bays on the carrier? I'm not sure.

 

[Adm_Z]

Took me till now to see them. Certainly not failures.

 

[Hellkite]

thought I was losing my touch

 

[Majestic]

Oh no, you're not loosing your touch. Perhaps we are getting overwealmed by the awesome designs you're producing.

Hey I have a request. Could you produce some Romulan ENT era designs for me? I have only the canon design and while I am not up to them, not for a while I could use some designs for in the future. The same can be said for the Andorians and Tellerites. That's if you're up for it.

 

[Hellkite]

I give them a shot boss and we see what I can come up with

any particular Frigates, Destroyers ,Cruisers and extra ?

 

[thunderfoot]

HK, your designs are very very good. The new Cardie fighter is superb. One of my secrets to turning out stuff is to keep after it. The ISS Ent-D I've been showing off is the culmination of about a week's worth of sketches, searches, thinking and then just sitting down for about two hours or so and playing around with the colors until I got just what I wanted. Your designs come from your heart as well as your head and your experiences. We all spend so much time tinkering around with them because of this. I doubt very many people could envision, let alone draw something such as Seraphim or Peredhil.

I like the shape of the wings and body of the Klingon. Not sure about the spikey head, though. Still cool.

And I love that Rommie, very cool

 

[Hellkite]

Romulan Centurion Destroyer

I went with a more of a old school look on this one

I kind need to know what Romulan astic your wanting to go for


-------


Avon you know how Klingon are ... they like pointy sharp objects

Yep It's a Klingon thing


@ Thunderfoot thanks for the words of encouragement

 

[Majestic]

Hello Hellkite, those are a good start. I am after all hull types, scout, frigate, destroyer, cruisers and a battleship. Anything really even stations and non-combats Anything you produce will help, even if I don't use a design it may provide the inspiration that I need. After all we only have ever seen one ENT era design. The drone from season 4 I am ignoring as it's obviously not a Romulan design but a re-used Voyager series ship.

Here is a link to the ENT era BOP. Designed inspired off that is what I am looking for. I plan to use the nacelle design on all Romulan ships, as for layouts anything that looks Romulan will probably work or could be used to work.
