Talarian Ships and Stations

[EAS_Intrepid]

Hello!

I am playing a lot of Birth of the Federation recently, and one of the minor races are the Talarians.

I really like the design of their ships, so I gave it a try:
The Talarian Warship has no textures yet, as I wait for the permission to use them. The mesh itself is, of course, constructed by me.

This is a laser turret, the sensor platform looks nearly the same, but it does not have the outer ring around the top part.
The turret, sensor platform and the shipyard all use stock cardassian texture, as I think these fit quite nicely and it decreases the filesize once released. Ingame they will have textures with lightmaps.


I will start hardpointing the ships & stations as soon as I finished all of them.

EDIT: I just finished the mesh of the Observation craft.

Very nicely done Intrepid, are you planning on making any more structures?

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Thank you!

Yes, I am. As of now, I am trying to develop a design for a starbase, a mining facility and a research lab.

In the attachment you can see all the ships I have built so far:
from left to right: Improved Cruiser, Cruiser, Destroyer, Observation Craft

Thats great news, I look forward to seeing them.

They look great already Intrepid!

Thank you guys!

Here's an image of the Talarian destroyer and the observation craft in-game!

Spoiler:

A shipyard, the defense turret as well as the sensor array are already in-game, too.

 

[Majestic]

Looking fairly good Intrepid.

 

[Syf]

Well done EAS. They look very good.

 

[Katala]

They look really nice! Well done!

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Thank you all

I began texturing the Cruiser and Improved Cruiser designs today, but instead of the original textures that come with a mesh for Starfleet Command II I use the same Cardassian ones as I used for the other ships. Progress is going slower than on the weekend, but I have several things to do, like writing applications etc.

Here is a preliminary design for the Talarian Homebase:

Spoiler:

You see a Destroyer in the docking bay as a size comparison.
I am not totally happy with this design, it would be nice, if someone could make some suggestions or improvements.

 

[Majestic]

What are you not happy about in this design Intrepid? I think it's a rather good and soild design.

If I had to say anything it would be that it's too big for the Talarian's as they have small ships and their technology isn't all that advanced so I don't believe they would build a station that large, but then again this is Armada and we have to try and keep things balanced.

I like them Intrepid!

Hi there!

I came back from a trip to Hamburg (second largest port in the world, after Rotterdam in the Netherlands) a few hours ago.
The Talarian improved cruiser is fully textured.

Spoiler:

I am experimenting with some different colour shades for the textures, like more grey-looking ones.


Concerning the station: Thank you Maj! I think I will keep the design.

 

[Syf]

Welcome back from your trip.

As far as the models, they are looking great. Keep up the good work.

 

[Majestic]

Awesome looking ship, the textures really suit the ship too.

 

[Majestic]

Any update on this EAS? I am really looking forward to a full race of these guys.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Don't worry, I am still working on the Talarians.

It is just that I do not have as much time to work on it as I had before, because I have Paramedic/First Responder training at the moment and learning for it does take some time.

I will promise to post some updates soon.

 

[Majestic]

No worries.
