[WIP] Incursion Class

[dinosaurJR]

Sorry bro, i maybe came across a wee bit hostile there... I was meaning that maybe i should try your method, then maybe my models could make the jump from good to great... You know, the method you outlined never occured to me before. Im definately going to give it a try!

I liked the idea of the Incursion Class. But to me it just seems like it shares too many things with the Defiant. The deflector for example. I hated the original deflector. It just looked like it was slabbed onto it. Plus you don't see any windows, phaser arrays, or other major features. It was sterile. Do you think you can fix all of that Maj? Like a full do over of the Incursion?

I plan to have more detail on it, as in the MDY Universe it's a rather new ship having been introduced in the early 2380's, by Starfleet Intelligence, although it is rumoured that a few are in the hands of the rogue agency S31.

This incursion is closer in size to the Intrepid rather than the Defiant.

I always considered the Incursion to a small, undercover scout ship, possibly only owned by S31.
The model is very nice, Majestic quality as always, but I think the fate of the ship will be decided only when it gets the textures. I just can't imagine it as a cruiser-sized ship ATM.

 

[Majestic]

That's fair enough, not everyone's cup of Earl Grey. I just feel a ship that has a surveillance team and such would be in a slightly larger ship that a 120-180m vessel. I am currently looking at a size of approximately 250m in length, so she is smaller than an Intrepid by around 94 meters.

Yesterday when I got up and the net was still down (horrible Telstra rented lines) I decided to take a crack at this ship, having finished the Valkyrie a day or two before.

I still haven't decided fully on the ship's size, however I am at most going to have it a 225m with the smallest being somewhere in the vicinity of 190-200m.

This texture I must say I am rather proud of, a vast improvement over the Valkyrie texture I did recently. Some parts of the texture are by Jetfreak (phaser strips, torp launchers and Starfleet logo), the rest are by me using a combination of Photoshop CS3 and a trial of Corel paintshop pro. I still have a bit of work to do on them, mainly enhancing and altering a few parts but overall it is pretty much complete.

Looks great! Awesome texture. I really like how this one was... majesticized.

 

[dinosaurJR]

Very nicely done - I love the look of this one - Light years ahead of the stock. Infact - I defy anyone to make a better one...

She looks fantastic, well done Majestic!

 

[Adm_Z]

Sleek! It actually looks like a useful ship now. Something you would want to build.

 

[Majestic]

Thank you all, I am glad to see it's well liked. Jetfreak has requested to do the lightmapping so it should be some real quality when done. Oh and the just is only just over 1k worth of poly's. Should it will perform well on any system or install.

I really like how this one was... majesticized.

Thanks, I may borrow that term.

Here is the hero unit for the campaign, I wasn't initially going to do one, but decided to do one for variety and for Jetfreak, as I know he prefers regestries for his screenshots.

I also did some changes to the texture as well including window sizes and bussard texture.

 

[Jetfreak]

You know me all too well Maj, just holler at me when you're done with the texturing so I can begin setting up the lights.

 

[Dan1025]

Really nice work Majestic, the Incursion has never looked better

 

[Majestic]

Thanks guys.

I sent a e-mail not all that long after I made that post. You should have it by now.
