Just ignore them Captain, the Race pics look great! I can't wait to see your Borg or Species 8472 rendition

The new Ferengi ship looks very good too (Much more like on ST:TNG).

Just out of curiosity, will you be Modding in some of the more exotic Star Trek anomalies (sp?), such as the Probe from the 5th Star Trek Movie, or the Doomsday Weapon from TOS? Encountering these things would be really sweet!

Here is a Klingon K'Vort class Bird of Prey that I dusted off from storage:

Oh, the captains are a hoot! They all have sort of a muppet mouth... the Jean Luc charicature looks a lot like one of the old guys from the muppet show! (...why do we always come here/I guess we'll never know/it's like a kind of torture/to have to watch this show/hahahaha)

The Ferengi ship looks great with the final textures. I'm looking forward to giving them a try.

Yes, and this is why they are bad for the mod.

I like the captains, very humerous and cartoony.

Nice looking K'Vort.

Here are two Dominion ships - A Jem'Hadar Dreadnought and a Battlecruiser:

These models were made by Atrocities. A fine job.

those are good designs but not for the dominion, why dont you use the actual designs that exist for dominion dreadnouht and battlecruiser, and maybe move the smaller designs down a level or two to try to get rid of using the fighter type design 3 times for the first three classes. thats just my two cents, other than that great work, i love the cardasian designs.

Captain Kwok · #**699** February 28th, 2003, 03:01 AM

The two designs I posted for the Dominion below are rather close to their actual designs as seen in Star Trek. Of course, there is some difference, but that is because of limitations in the program they were made with.

The 'repeat' of the attack ships is not due to a lack of ships. During the run of Deep Space Nine, there appeared to be different sizes of the Jem'Hadar fighters (same deal with those Klingon Bird of Preys), so that is why there are three different sizes available.

The Dominion ships, or fighter types that you are refering to actually are three types. The smallest one is considered an escort/large fighter, and the other two are easily Frigate and Destroyer size ships.

The Dominion only has 3 actual ship designs used in DS9. So when they had to come up with a ship that looked bigger than a fighter, they used the same "Beatle" design, but made it larger. They did this again for the Episode when the Romulans/Cardassians are tricked into attacking the Founder homeworld. They made the "Big Beatle" bigger.

In later episodes, they introduced two other large Capitol ships, the Battle Cruiser, and the Battleship/Dreadnought. (Episode Name was The Valant.)

The original Dominion ship set was created using images from DS9 technical manual, and from a website that was named www.starshipscematics.com

I colorized many of the ships, and really took the forefront on establishing the Dominion as a playable race following a few other great efforts.

Finally I decided to make a new ship set for the Dominion based upon ship designs and such that could be duplicated in some degree.

That is the new set. Mind you, unless you want to spend a good week designing an exact replica of a Dominion ship in some 3D program, these ships are your best bet for "creative licensed" ships for the Dominion.

Ok, long winded response.

Short of it, there are actually three beatle ship sizes used by the Dominion.

To see old Dominion ships, you can visit The Dominion

Mind you, the New Dominion ship set site is off line for now. I will have it back up soon enough.
