Hello:
As you may know, I make 3d models of several franchises, but to try to make playable mods for some tv series is becoming very difficult and frustrating because of the lack of proper designs to fill even the basic roles ingame (starbase, mining, ship types).

That is why I ask for the MSFC Community's help. Particularly for the Peacekeepers (from Farscape) and the Systems Commonwealth (Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda). If you can help me with designs, specially stations, for inspirations to make playable mods for the game :) .

Thank you very much for your time :D .

I barely remember the Peacekeepers, but I might be able to supply you with some Commonwealth designs. Could take a bit though, as I'm really busy these days. If that's okay with you, I might be able to provide you with some inspiration in a week or two.

Hello:
That would be very nice to see :) . Commonwealth have crazy-detailed ships and I think there are some station designs, but I look forward to see what you have :) .

I made a few peacekeeper models a few years ago. I think I shipped them to Majestic... not 100 percent sure. He's the one to ask about Farscape reference materials.

I am happy to help. Would something like penciled orthos be okay?

Hello:
Yes, I did ask Majestic and he will be looking for them. It will be great if he finds them because I need the inspiration.

That Parallels mod project is still an inspiration for me, as well as a reminder of the good-old days :) .

I also did find a couple of designs by SovierHybrid in DeviantArt, but they are only top-view, but it may still help too :D .

I saw you posted a reply while I was typing, hehehe.

Penciled orthos are great, and it would not the first time I use them because most reference from "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" ships are drawings.

Yeah I got them backed up somewhere. Chiletrek asked about them earlier today in a PM. Going to dig them out later this week and send them off to him to give him a hand. :D

Awesome. As I said, it's probably going to take a few days, but I will have some designs for you.

Systems Commonwealth
High Guard
Citadel Class Station​
Hello:
Wow, that was quick, when did you make this design? :shock: .

The station surely looks as crazy as the High Guard ships, so it is most likely this station is of Vedran design :D .

Can you tell me more about your idea of this station? like the center part that looks like half a sphere?

I admit that the stations I have seen are not like this design, but those stations are clearly made by Humans and/or Nietzscheans. o this station's style would clearly be distinctive and I sure hope I can make a worthy 3d model for it.

Hello:
Those are all very well-made drawings! I have saved them from your DA account (since I spend more time there :sweat: ).

Thank you! :excited:.

Hello:
I totally agree with you. And it is amazing how quickly HK has came up with the designs so far. The Commonwealth will surely give him a brand new ship for him to command... with many fighters for him to play with :D .
