Bah. The garish yellow textures are overrated, red is so much better. Personally I despise the whole "slap a paint job on and call it an evil battlecruiser" line of thinking. Starfleet ships are (for the most part) multipurpose ships with a science and exploration edge to them. Whilst they are capable of combat, they are not true warships - which the ships of the Terran Empire would be. Hence the Galaxy Conqueror, designed for combat not comfort.

I totally agree, the Terran ships should look more aggressive and be a lot meaner in all ways.

Ships that would be perfect for the Terran empire as counterparts to Federation ships are the Galaxy Class Dreadnought (Galaxy X) and the Intrepid Class warship (Warship Voyager).

It be terrifically ironic if the Mirror Universe version of the Defiant-Class was actually a scientific ship and explorer instead...

Yeah, that's kind of my main issue with a lot of the Mirror Universe stuff. Instead of "Everyone is as evil as their Prime counterparts are good and vice versa" it is far too often portrayed as "Everything is darker and edgier and everyone is more evil and angry all the time". Loads of wasted storytelling potential.

I always found "silly" that both universes had same ship classes in TV series or games... - Enterprise NX or NCC-1701, Negh'var, Bird of Prey, Galor...I can understand that some things are same...but not ALL characters, ships, technology...

I was searching web to find anything about Star Trek Invasion models and I bumped on this thread http://bckobayashimaru.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2287

It seems that this guy has or had Invasion models and as you can see, they look really nice...So I found guy on FB and I send him message about models...However, I did not get reply -.-

So guys, can you give a try and send him message?? His name is in thread...It's easy to find him..

those are the stock models extracted from the game. Texture quality is really poor and would require a proper set to be made.

If his name is Allessandro Torresanni or something along those lines, don't bother. I tried messaging him a few years back about that and nothing came of it. That was part of why I made the Invasion pack I made, although there are plenty of other models from the game that can be re-made.

well it's alejandro :D honestly, it's pitty we can't get touch on those models... it takes time to recreate them...
far as I know, only model from Invasion was typhon and its fighters..

I remember several months ago while was searching web about those models, I found out (maybe i'm wrong) that creator(s) of milkshape created some tool to extract files from Invasion cd... and models are in .trk format and you can import them in MS... Sadly, that tool can not be found anywhere

Also the models themselves had some problems when being converted from .trk format where the texture mapping was horribly wrong.

Hellkite,
Here is the mesh of the strike fighter. In the flat shaded image you can see more details. Do you want the same colours for the textures?
The cockpit looks very yellow, do you want it changed?
Do you want the textures in TGA format with alpha channel? Or otherwise?
Kind regards

I have imported all 3 Obelisks from Legacy, but I can't extract the textures. Do you have them?

No, couldn't play the game due to my handicap. (Too many keys)


Here are all 6 models.
I don’t know if all meshes are facing in the right direction. I hope you can extract the textures, I can’t. If you need textures for the models, then I have to make new textures. I hope you have enough for you to go on.
I wish you merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Kind regards
