A Special Thanks to Atrocities..

It's an easy mistake since they look practically identical (apart from the size). I have been thinking of modding and set making but am leaving the effort till SEV comes out. Then the Draka will conquer the galaxy.

Edit: is it just me, or have the page borders shrunk?

Randallw:
About the borders, hmm... I thought it was my computer at work. Guess not then. I'm glad you noticed.

I think it's very unrealistic (if you can use this word here) that the K'vort and the B'rel look the same, but the K'vort is about twice (or more) the size.

My technical manual has a single picture for both of them

Type: Scout (B'Rel); Cruiser(K'Vort). Common planform, scaled up 4.3 times for cruiser.

The B'Rel has a crew of 12, and the K'Vort 1500.

You'd think the difference would be that the K'Vort has more decks and more windows on side. Of course, in DS9 they just shrank the model when they wanted the difference within a fleet.

of course...

It's lame to see those kind of shortcuts. Ah well, there are plenty of people who didnt noticed it or don't care about it.

Did someone request a 1600x1200 Version?

Cheers!

P.S. Oh, and AT,.. how many times have I said we make a great team? I suck at model-making but can manage a few good textures.. you (pardon my french) stink at textures but are a fantastic model-maker. I am proud and honored to count you as one of my friends.

P.P.S. Think of it this way, your ship models are like actors to me, and when I direct a scene, the end result will only be as good as the actors. Sure the stage can be pretty, but when the actors suck that's the only thing people notice.

..babble babble, babble, sorry for the digression.. but,. but, but,.. you really do make great ship models.

Cheers! again

Damn, David. Cool comment. But I'm beginning to feel a little bit sad here.
I think it's great that AT and you are getting along so good. This is especially good for the community.
But the thing that makes me a bit sad is my lack of time. Because I think I'm pretty good at modeling too, and also suck with textures (getting better at it requires a lot of time). I wish I could supply you with cool models too.

Sorry for this litte bit of sadness. I wish, I wish, I wish...

Very nice models "arrayed" very nicely. Good job guys!

Totally awesome! Or as Narf would say, "Shiney!!"

NarfsCompIsBack · #9 January 5th, 2005, 02:31 AM

Indeed, it is shiney.

David, just a little something, (not wanting to nitpick etc but I'll do it anyways

)

I know you might just have added the beam later on, but the ship that's being hit should at least be thrown a bit out of course (say tilted and slower) now it's still nice in formation despite getting hit. just a little item to think about for the next one you make.

I suck at both modelling AND textures, but I'm good at placing the two together and making things fit
