Armada Fleet Command

Glad to see you back Capital =) I kept hold of the models I made just in case, so I'll get back on to making more too!

I thought Present Tense was to be a Lost-Era mod? I'm sure I saw that on the website at some point...

what do you realy lose? Time and effort, what with making the model, applying the texture maps to the individual parts, making sure the 'extra' details are correct... and, when the ship is so small ingame, you can't actually see the difference between a good 2000 poly model and a 10000 poly one. PS...

True, it doesn't hurt anyone, but what do you gain from such a high polycount? In A2 the ships will rarely be bigger than 2 inches on your screen...

I keep to the guidelines set by the earlier modders, as there's no point having 5'000+ poly models in a game like armada, so most of mine are under 2'000. Some of my meshes go up to 3600-3700, but generally they aren't the ones I keep ingame.

Immediate Music - Serenata =)

Actually yes, you're totally right. There were Vulcan ships seen in Unification, but they were a completely different design. Sorry about that. Microprose obv got mixed up when they made BOTF =) Cmndr_Parker1, didn't you used to mod Armada before? I seem to remember you sending me a load of ships yo...

They were being used in Unification as troop carriers for the Romulans, as a Trojan Horse for taking over Vulcan... but they weren't pirate ships.

Nice model though. Really nice =)

Unlikely, it's pretty heavily set in the vertex & poly modelling. But I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing what happens.

The guy has only just made it in the past few days for A2, I doubt he'll've converted them for A1 yet. =)

I warn you though, it is VERY expensive.

Remove the . from the end of the address and the images will show up.

I'd get rid of one or two of the indents in the sides. It's ok having them someplaces, but not everywhere.
Stick with it, i like this one, it'd make a good smaller ship like a destroyer or light cruiser...

Any idea what kind of texture style you're looking at for these?

I'm currently partway through texturing a dreadnought/battleship, yes. I've had to do a reformat so it's not ready yet, but it will be soon...

For the first one, I'd go with the design which doesn't have any pods. However, keep the model of the pod itself... If you do an artillery ship at some point, those pods would be perfect... As for the second design, I think it's a bit soon for me to make a judgment, but it looks like it will turn ou...
