Fleetoperations Intro: The Moment You've Been Waiting for!

Its nice but for me it would have been better if there was a little more variety as half of the movie was about the Dominion. Something like a Borg cube fighting several ships, some footage of Klingon ships like the Vorcha or the Neghvar etc.

Good work anyhow

Yeah Im starting to think I need to add/redo a few parts. For instance the beam from the intrepid and the part where the galaxy fires on the warbird.

Sooo cooooollll!!!!!!  (see its way better than that teem made one in stock a2 )

if you are looking for C&C, I would stil just criticize the explosions   they dissapate so fast that some of them seem like implosions rather than explosions.

And the last scene is perfect.  Even better than I could have expected. 

The only other thing i would say is that the FO logo seems like it should be after the borg scene, and not in the middle. but thats just me.


Like I said, Way better than I thought it would be.  Waaayyyy coooolllll.


Edit:

Oh and Optec...PLEASE!!!!!! please let it at least be included in the multimedia pack.  Surely its worthy of that honor.

Thanks Adm  You keep making my day

its true though.

Oh, and had you considered using FO explosions?  you could probably use Storm 3d to render them if you knew how to program them properly.

Hmm... FO explosions? I dont quite understand what you mean

if you are looking for C&C, I would stil just criticize the explosions   they dissapate so fast that some of them seem like implosions rather than explosions.

Dont forget the science in to too. There is no oxygen in space so the explosions would have to be implosions Hmm... Now that I think about it, there is no sound in space too. Oh well

There is oxygen from the ship, except for the ones run by methane breathers.

I thought about that, but then again i realized you were going for FO not reality.  Thats why I suggested FO explosions.  the ones in the game are very high quality.  Heres a peak at the animated texture.  You could probably make them into a bik or something, I really don't know how your process workes though.


They look kinda strange as a texture, but animated, this is the station explosion(I think and I shrunk it due to the attach limit)

Aye, but just wait till you get your hands on the explosions seen in the Impact thread. I'm told they aren't simple stills like we used to have, but are animated .

ooh, sounds interesting.  I hope they cause less lag than the regular explosions.

But Id have to create a file for every single one of those. It would be extremely hard to get every single one to the same scale and position. Legacy also has some explosions like that that are higher quality and I had the same problem. Its a nice idea though

What are you animating in??? If you had the money id tell you to use fumeFX for 3ds max

With the exception of the explosions and the stand off between the Feds and the Rommies (stand offs aren't very Trek like) it's great. The Klingons are a little under represented though (but I'm a Fed person so I don't mind ). See if you can find a version of the Borg's message from the show. Right now it seems to lack a certain feel. The explosions as said before are too small and brief. The explosions we see don't necessarily have to be caused by burning oxygen, it could be electrical or caused by escaping plasma. Either way, they should be more like a fire ball and less like sparks.

All around it's epic though.

Does the Sovereign have to be the Enterprise? I'm not sure about showing the Enterprise dying... same with the Galaxy, which also seems to be the Enterprise.

Rather interesting cameo, considering it's been dead for over 50 years (assuming that part shows FO-recent events).
