Frankly i'm a little disappointed in everyone's lack of interest, if I don't get some help everyone eager for this mod to come out will be sadly let down. Now come on guys! Post those Messages, send those E-mails, GET INVOLVED!!!

Startrek Fans everywhere are counting on you!

I'm currently doing another mod and besides that studying so my time is pretty limited. However if any of my models prove to be Trek worthy you can use them in your mod if you like.

Maybe the closest thing I have to a trek ship is this following model: Paladin

I could TRY and think of a story.But amm dont count on it i might not have the time.Does it have to be Star Trek related? To be honest i dont know aything about Star Trek,i just didnt catch it.

Althou i do know the basic story.Captain ownes a ship.Captain has a great ship.Captain goes in adventures.Captain gets in troubles.Captain saves the universe.

Ok, wow that drew some attention....

First of Exan, no offense but if that's what the models will look like in Starfury maybe I don't want to make this mod

. Seriously, it's ok looking but i'm hoping for something "closer" to Armada 1, you know what I mean?

Second SamZaWild, give me your E-mail address and i'll refer you to Iansidious he's the resident trekkie, you can send your story to him and go over the details later. Thank you for your contribution to this project.

And finally DeadZone, I am most grateful. If you could send an e-mail to me telling me what job you'd be most interested in pursuing that would be awesome.

Thank you all again for contributing.
Any further questions or comments send to Dmart897@yahoo.com or just reply to this posting.

None taken. Well it won't look exactly like this in starfury. But I agree, the texture map is little cruel to say atleast. And I'm still a beginner 3d modelling but I will improve in the future hopefully.

Normally the star trek meshes that are found in the net have so high polygon count that Lithunwrap can't even open them. And when you open on in max for example the ship is fine looking but it has way too much polygons to put that into the game. But maybe if you could take ships directly from Armada.

EDIT: I checked it. You can take ships directly from Armada and Sovereign only had about 500 polygons so they'll fit nicely into the game. The only problem is that it may be illegal to use the models without permission.

Also I have other ship which is somewhat smoother than the Last one. It's not actually a trek ship and doesn't pretend to be but it has similar engines.

Do not take models directly from Armada

This will draw the attension of Paramount very quickly, Ive seen many mods shut down down by them simply cos of them doing this

I suggest going to http://www.staryards.com/

The person running this site used to come on here himself, and has already said you can take any of these models and convert them, just make sure you have the proper credits a mod read-me

I took few models from there and they have way too many polygons. For example, U.S.S Enterprise-E had over 3000 just in half of the saucer part. The whole model was so complicated that lithunwrap couldn't open it.

That's why I recommend doing the models yourself or ask someone who has done trek models before to do low-polygon Versions.
