MSFC Members Ships Shot

I came up with a concept for a picture I'd like to work on last night. In my short time here, I've throughly enjoyed myself on MSFC. The members are very kind to each other in general, with the recent incident in Jetfreak's forum being the best example right now.

In appreciation, I'd like to do a compliation of a group of pictures, and in eachof them have some sort of story playing out in them. These pics would use models from my A2, or those that I could add to it. In addition, I'd like these shots to show of their registry names, and the names be the names of members here at MSFC.

Off the top of my head, the only ships that I can think of with visible names on them would be Federation ships, maybe some Battlestars, and I think some ships from Babylon 5.

If you'd like to be a part of these shots as your favorite ship, please, post up whatever you would like. If need be, I'll do some crossovers to accomidate some scenes.

I will also need help from any willing texturers out there, who would be willing to re-texture the appropriate files so that they have the desired registries. I'll help out to the extent that I can, but I'm still very new to the world of texturing.

No promises but I may be able to do some registries, especially if they are for the Battlestars like the Solaria and Mercury as I was the one to originally do the registries for them in the first place.

I really like this idea. :thumbsup:

Any specific name? Remember, I'd like each ship to represent the member that asked for it in some way.

Hmmm, other than "Zaxxon", I"m not really sure. That would work I guess.

All righty, gonna make a notepad file for these names. When it seems that enough people have made requests, I'll post them up again with the requests to willing texturers

How about a Romulan Vrax class named Nohtho Etrehh or a Federation Dawnstar named Antaeus for me? Just whichever one it would be easiest to put a name on. I also like the design of the Federation Nautilus class, but the only model out is rather asymmetrical and needs to be redone.

I'm already slated onboard the RR for the TNG-era methinks.

No promises in texture assistance though, but I certainly will help when I can. :)

Also, I have a suggestion for an alternative name. Why not call it MSFC Community Fleet? Has a nice ring to it eh? ^_^

I would love to help out - Im not the best texture guy round here, but I am kinda competent... Although applying text to paths or curves is a wee bit beyond me...

USS dinosaurJR, NCC-22981 what would that be...? An Excelsior? Ambassador?

You're right, it has an excellent ring to it.

Sounds to me it would be an Excelsior. Would you like no-refit or refit?

I like this idea. May I request two ships? Not both for me. I would like the AR Miranda, USS DOC ROGERS NCC-1854 (in honor of my dad who turned me on to Star trek) and a Bonaventure class USS SCIFIFAN NCC-1078.

NOTE: My dads initials were DDR which is where DOC comes from. Some people he used to work with gave him that nickname.

I made something I thought might be useful for this. You could put it on ship hulls, the background, whatever. It's based on stuff from the site layout.

This is a brilliant idea.

Unfortunately, I do not have any "ready-made" B5 Omega and Nova ships as of now, but I will definately try and get them ready to contribute.

In the older Parallels mod we had an Omega class destroyer "EAS Intrepid" as hero unit, lol.

Nice logo, what does the text at the bottom mean? I assume it's Latin or something!

Also if you want the original MSFC logo in PSD format with a transparent background email me, using my msfc.com.au email account. It's my username so should be hard to figure out. :lol:

That we did, to honour the hard work you'd had put into the mod! :)

Yep, it says "the majestic army" in Latin. And the logo would be nice. E-mail sent.:)

Nice logo :thumbsup:

I just might put it on the hulls of the ships for one big compliation shot, to show that it's really the community fleet, like JF suggested

The reason for me thinking out what my ship is gonna be named is that I think it would be odd to have a Starfleet vessel called USS Borg_Queen. :lol:
Any thoughts, or maybe I should just go with that irony? :lol2:

you could just use assimilated textures.

Oooooh! All the pretty Starfleet ships! ISS this is a wonderful idea. Thank you for your generous offer. I was pleased you liked the sig banner I made for you so much you adopted it. But my colossal ego threw a hissy fit and demanded I make a ship for myself as well. Stupid ego!

Battlestar Thunderous, BSG 120. Solaria class.​

"To whomever would raise a hand to strike at those whom cannot defend themselves against evil. Before you do so, listen carefully to the wind. The rumbling in the distance you hear? Coming closer? This is the sound of your doom coming at last to settle accounts. And the thunder rolls."

I may have some pics of her still somewhere. If I find them, I'll post a few.

Definitely sounds good, TF. :thumbsup: Request added to file.

And Borg_Queen, I must agree with Adm_Z on this. An assimilated Sovvie with your name fits quite well. Request also added

If I went by the original source of my username it would be a Sovereign class USS Majestic, I got it from Armada 1 back in mid 2000. It's still in the ODF's for fbattle in A2. :)

However if I went by what identifies me these days it would be the USS Midway, Midway class and Battlestar Endeavour, Mercury Class (which in a new story I am writing is to become a Prometheus class).

But right now I'd rather see other peoples ships rather than my own. I also agree with the others Borg Queen, a assimilated Sovereign class named USS Borg Queen is perfect and represents you even better. :thumbsup:

Received and I send it to you along with the font so you can match all the text on the banner logo up together if you so desire. :thumbsup:

I can do that considering I still have the original files and it would take a whole 5 minutes to do, and another 1 minute to set up a unique SOD file so you can use it along side other Solaria's. :thumbsup:

So if you want I'll do this and send it to ISS Enterprise and yourself.

I'll take you up on that offer, Maj. I'll PM you my email, though I'm not sure that's all that necessary, seeing as you're the senior administrator :lol:

Ok, then it's settled. It will be an assimilated Sovereign with the name USS Borg Queen. All I now needs to decide is the registry. :)

By the way, that's some nice Borg textures in that attachement that Adm_Z has. :)

I'm not sure if he knows all of them, so it would be quite helpful to provide some info on what they are and how to get them. ;)
