Re: Federation Civil War
 

I have been following this on the sci fi forum. This project is looking really good.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Well the name works for me. It was going to be this or the other one that Kira get it on with. Berial or what whatever his name was.

Thank you.

Not really an update I have have finalized the names of the first five Soval class ships.
Soval
I made a few changes to this one.
He was the Vulcan Ambassador to Earth for many years in the early days of Earth-Vulcan relations. He originally fought to restrain Earth from sending ships deep into space but eventually changed his opinions before the formation of the United Federation of Planets. He was severely injured in the bombing of the Earth embassy on Vulcan, being saved through the sacrifice of Admiral Forrest.

Kuvak
Minister Kuvak was a member of the Vulcan High Command prior to its dissolution in 2154. When Jonathan Archer and T'Pau presented the Kir'Shara to the High Command, and accused Administrator V'Las of framing the Syrannites for the Earth embassy bombing, Kuvak incapacitated V'Las and ordered the invasion forces headed for Andor to withdraw. Following the removal of V'Las from office and the dissolution of the High Command, Kuvak assumed an important role in the new Vulcan government and promised a less supervisory role in Vulcan's future relations with Earth.

Solkar
T'Pol mentioned that he was the first Ambassador to Earth.

Surak
The most beloved and respected of all Vulcans who ever lived. He was the founder of modern Vulcan philosophy. He instigated The Great Reform, which put an end to millennia of warfare. He was murdered during a peace mission but his work continued past his death. His ideals of logic and IDIC remain foundations of Vulcan society. His Katric Ark was found in 2137 and, in 2154, his katra was transferred to the Hall of Knowledge for all Vulcans to have access to.

T'Pau
One of the most respected women in Vulcan history, a skilled high priestess and politician. She participated in Vulcan affairs much of her life. She was the only Vulcan to have turned down a seat on the Federation Council. She was a descendant of Surak, the grandmother of Sarek, and great-grandmother of Sybok and Spock. She lived well over 200 years but her actual age at death is apparently unknown.

This information comes from here http://home.teleport.com/~vli/vulcans.htm so don't hang me if any of it is wrong.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

I forgot the plaques.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

The plaques all look great but why do they all have the same quote? On most Starfleet ships, those differ from ship to ship.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Did they?
I wasn't sure myself because you never really got a chance to see. I just really didn't want to have to come up with a quote for each ship. That might drive me crazier than builidng the damn thing. :D

Re: Federation Civil War
 

I think you mean Vedek Bareil - The name of Kai Opaka for a ship-class is okay IMO. BTW this mesh is a very impressive work, I really like it :)

Re: Federation Civil War
 

You are right.

Ok I have one for T'Pau
"You'll no longer have us looking over your shoulder. It's time for Earth to stand on it's own."
And one for Surak
"Logic has not won this day. But this day will not last forever."
Solkar will be the hardest since he's never been seen or heard.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

UPDATE..
Back to the Cardie ship.
Just a few details and the base color.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Nice. It's great to know you haven't forgotten about this one. :D

Re: Federation Civil War
 

No I haven't forgotten about it.
I'm just haveing trouble finding the motivation to work on it.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Is anyone else getting the missing image white box with a red cross on the original images or is it our office firewall choking the life out of our internet connection again? :(

UA

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Usually that indicates a blocked image. I'd say it's probably the firewall. However, you might want to go to your User CP and check your view settings to make sure you're set up to see images.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

UPDATE...
I think I've finished the spikes at the back of the ship.
I also added two aft torpedoe launchers tp the lower spikes.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Thanks evil_genius. It seems that our firewall at the office is blocking the images. I took a look this morning using my GSM internet connection and they show up.

They are really .... umm ... paranoid with our firewall as we sit on the South African government network. I can't really complain i guess ... :/

Re: Federation Civil War
 

It looks great, bro. Did you get the inspiration for the greebles and whatnot from DS9 and the Cardassian fleet? A lot of that stuff reminds me of the detailing on DS9.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

You're exactly right. It was always my intent to make those sections look like parts of DS9

Re: Federation Civil War
 

UPDATE...
Added panel lines to the, wings I guess I would call them.:confused:
I also added impulse engines.
I have also added an airlock. It's loosely based on the ones used on DS9. I plan on placing another one up front some where.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

You always do such cool grid lines and details. Everything looks really cool. :D

Re: Federation Civil War
 

UPDATE....
The build of the Impulse engine is done.
I've started to play with an idea of doing a Keldon type varient of the ship.

Re: Federation Civil War
 

Excellent work! The detailing on the narrow section in the second image really looks good, and the shadows your detailing creates really stand out nicely.
