I'd prefer to see more of the "modern" trek ships in the DS9 set like the steamrunner etc. Some of them are just too similar with an extra nacelle and things of that sort.

Thanks for the comments. I spent a considerable amount of time tyring out every texture I could find. NONE of them worked or looked good. So in the end, knowning that they will never be cannon, I opted for the smooth hull look.

I am a bit defensive of these sets because of the time and effort I had to put into them. Try making a set of your own and you will soon see what I am talking about. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Aside from being fun, coming up with the new ships was a challenge. Most federation ships look a alot alike, and there is not much you can do about it. I tried, and hit or miss, I did it.

Thanks for the feed back. I will try and tweak them more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

New Ships posted.

DS9
STNG
TMP

I have seen the new STNG ships in the game and they do look better than the current set IMHO. I will include them in the next patch for the STM, but players who dislike these new sets can always choose to re-install the older, SFC, sets.

The sets are neo-standard. The SFC sets were not.

Did any of those links I put up give you any inspiration, or ideas?

In a way yes. I based the basic standard designs of the Federation stock ship off of ships I got form those site a few years ago. Thanks for posting the links.

These are truely awesome ships AT. And don't listen to people that want you to add 'textures', the way they turned out looks great, and the ship themselves have more than enough detail to make textures useless. In fact often times adding a texture just 'clutters' the models.

Yes indeed AT, these ships are fantastic. Keep having fun and rest assured your work is much aprieciated.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Within the TMP set I think the medium transports top view looks like the logo for the Mothman Prophecies or The Butterfly Effect.

Edit: wait, I figured it out. It's the rabbit from Donnie Darko.
