All this ST talk makes me wanna view again the recorded episodes and movies (I have them on audio casets and video tapes from my childhood and also downloaded later) except now I think I'll expect giant kaltors to pop up all over the place
kinda makes me think of Elliot like a Q entity ....and I mean Q itself [:D]

The ships of the Kzinti Patriarchy, also known as the Mirak Star League in the SFC games. I really like these ships. They're designed to fire large numbers of missiles. Notice they each have those pod missile launchers.

Hey Igard. If you need more ship classes from this era, check out this site's ship database:

http://home.comcast.net/~ststcsolda/index.html

It's pretty amazing. Much of it is from the ST Tactical Combat simulator tabletop from FASA back in the 80s, and has many ship classes for each race. A guy has created a freeware PC game based on it that has many of the features. I happened upon that ship database site while I was searching for the game's download location. [8D]

I'm sure some Romulan ones will be coming soon. Hope to see the Bright One, Whitewind, Winged Defender types in there.

Shiny. Thankyou, NK. [8D]

It's a nice reference or me to look for ships for specific eras. I think I can get pretty much all of these ships, it's just a case of searching through them at battleclinic or filefront. If there's any ship in particular you'd like, just let me know. I think I've done a Bright One for the Spock era extras and I was planning on using the Winged Defender for the Picard Era (perhaps this should be Spock era). I'll take a look now for a Whitewind now. [:)]

Orion preview. I might change the colours for the Resupply ship. I'm not sure about the blue. [8|]

I might start adding a few of those to the base images. There's also no reason to assume they're connected to the actual base. They could even just be small repair docks seperate from the spaceport. It might be worth experimenting with...

Well it does not look like I have to mess much with the Orion Scout; looks like you have one on the right of the picture.

TJ, you're talking about the work you emailed me about the other day? I'm not sure what you were planning, but there's probably still much to do to get it looking like TOS. All these images were based on the work Taldren did with Starfleet Command II: orion pirates. So it's all TMP era.

Continuing with the previews, which I forgot about for a while. No prizes for guessing who these ships belong to.

What size ships are these?  They look huge compared to ships in my game.

These are just the normal sizes. I just start a new game and line up the ships using the editor. They're zoomed in to the max using the page up key.

Also, the Tholian cruiser and capital are really big because of the alpha ratio scaling.

All credit for textures and models goes to the Starfleet Command modders. I do sometimes re-colour and re-shape, but for the Romulans I didn't have to touch a thing. They're very impressive designs. [:)]

Very much so.  They seem to have more of a 'weathered' look to them. [8D]
