Galaxy Class Models

posted on September 10th, 2004, 9:12 pm

Most of the ships in Fleet Ops look great - Sovereign, Warbirds, K'vorts, etc. But what about the Galaxy class ships? The model for it just doesn't seem to be as well done as the rest of the mod. Are you going to update it, or have you already done it for FO3.

Yep, all federation vessels are getting update, except saber class. Optec also told me that K' tinga is updated too.

Yeah you can tell the K'tinga has been updated in a lot of the screenshots that have been released. I wonder how the Feds have been updated though ... compared to Armada II the Beta 2 Feds look awesome.

well i gave you screenshots on the new models of the feds and they look absolutely great. it somewhere at the news forums. But here they are again for the people who where forgotten about the new textures.






As you can see the monsoon is textured alot better.

The new Monsoon looks fantastic!

As for the problem with the Galaxy class it's a bit difficult to explain (I'm not entirely sure what Im rambling on about!). It might be the scale of the ship - when you look at a Galaxy class, it should look huge and intimidating (because of the size).

Ah, I'm probably just crazy.

I think that the scale is ok. And it has nice weapons too.

well the warbird should be twice as big as a galaxy class, so you can compaire it a bit

I was thinking relative scale to other ships that aren't going to extreme sizes like Warbird, Borg Cube. But this scales are good for such RTS game. I think that it wouldn't be good for RTS game to have realistic sizes of ALL (and by all i mean cubes, d'deridex, dom dreadnought if will be in FO...) ships.

Well it the scale could be right, but they must be stronger too cause it looks stupid that such large ships would have the same amount of weapons as say they do now :S

I'm not sure, but I think the reason it doesn't look quite right to me is the size of the saucer section - I think it might be too small compared to the stardrive section. But it just seems like me complaining, so I'll be quiet again now.

well, we improved the sizing of our ships in V3, there are now more realistic
