I think i'm going to adapt the old interior to this new hull and upload a proper version plus an empty seperately.

Hm.... i may or may not smell an update in the future. Not sure what kind of form it will take yet. Hull's updated though.

Commander Rotal  [author] 9 Jun, 2015 @ 5:28am 
@Sorron nope, but extremely outdated. (i used a white skybox mod for some screenshots but the world itself is vanilla)

Wait, I need to put some sunglasses on!
Commander Rotal  [author] 25 Oct, 2014 @ 2:20pm 
Thanks, good sir :)

o, sooo cool :)

aww.... damn that intolerance! it ruins everything!
Commander Rotal  [author] 22 Oct, 2014 @ 7:08pm 
I want to but my lactose intolerance won't let me.
Blue Moon 22 Oct, 2014 @ 5:53pm 
hey rotal? tell me i'm pretty?
XD
Blue Moon 22 Oct, 2014 @ 12:12pm 
oh god XD
Commander Rotal  [author] 22 Oct, 2014 @ 12:11pm 
Oh don't worry, she's gonna have the bling. It's just more... tearing and slashing instead of inserting.

That sounds so wrong.
Blue Moon 22 Oct, 2014 @ 12:08pm 
:C.... but.. names...
Commander Rotal  [author] 22 Oct, 2014 @ 12:06pm 
Turns out the bottom half of the Saucer is too small to accomodate the nameplate template. Whoops.
Blue Moon 22 Oct, 2014 @ 11:35am 
lol. yeah they kinda do have a fetish there don't they?
Commander Rotal  [author] 22 Oct, 2014 @ 10:50am 
Just scooped the nameplate off the Amanda Tapping. Now i know how the Borg were feeling when they cut that section out of the Enterprise in their first episode.

Still not crazy about their weird tube-fetish though.
Commander Rotal  [author] 22 Oct, 2014 @ 9:46am 
Then again - if you WANT an I.S.S. Fury Cutter of the Cheyenne Class you're welcome to change the ship to your liking* and upload it, i don't mind. In fact i'd like to see some variations out there! (I'd apreciate a mention where it comes from but even that's not necessary, my Twitter is full of documentional WIP-spam :D )

*I'd recommend waiting for the name plate, though. Maybe today, but pretty surely sometime this week.
Blue Moon 22 Oct, 2014 @ 7:09am 
XD
Commander Rotal  [author] 21 Oct, 2014 @ 11:10pm 
Mostly because i don't think there'd be much point. The only real difference between the two uploads would be the name plate, what the beacon says and maaaybe a new paint job. My workshop is a mess as it is :)
Bully056 21 Oct, 2014 @ 11:08pm 
Why not make a Mirror Universe of this Ship with the name U.S.S Fury Cutter?
Blue Moon 21 Oct, 2014 @ 12:02pm 
and for the ambassador class i was thinking more along the lines ofsomething to do with diplomatic stuff, like USS Parley, or USS Comprimise
Blue Moon 21 Oct, 2014 @ 12:00pm 
theres the defiant, the valliant, and the monitor. all are very warlike names (by starfleet standards)
Blue Moon 21 Oct, 2014 @ 11:57am 
I agree with the Registry number. and the defiant name would more likly be something like the Uss Furious, as defiant classes tend to have aggresive names.
Commander Rotal  [author] 21 Oct, 2014 @ 11:33am 
Thinking about it - Fury Cutter has a nice ring to it. Not necessarily very Starfleet (i'm thinking something along the lines of "Ferocious" or just "Cutter") but i can totally see a variation of this name ending up on a Defiant.
Commander Rotal  [author] 21 Oct, 2014 @ 11:27am 
Haven't really given it much thought, my registries tend to be somewhat random. Since the Cheyenne is supposed to be part of the Galaxy Wing 93 i suspect something close to the Amanda Tapping's registry would be apropriate. Let's say U.S.S. Nexus, NCC-100452. Would look good next to the Tapping's 100431. Which reminds me - one of these days i should install a nameplate on the Cheyenne.
Bully056 21 Oct, 2014 @ 9:02am 
U.S.S Nexus, Now what about ID Number, NCC-?
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:39pm 
lol its 11:030 here XD
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:39pm 
sweet.
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:39pm 
Brainfart on my end XD it's late.
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:39pm 
Ah! I thought that was still part of the Consti/Miranda post. Ah, we've had Fury Cutter, now Nexus... Nexus could work. It's got a bit of a sleek ring to it. Badass though it may be to survive the Borg, the Cheyenne doesn't really strike me as something furyful or cuttery. Nexus... U.S.S. Nexus... yeah, sounds fine, Nexus it is.
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:35pm 
-) Embarassingly i do not have a name for the ship yet. A ship should never be without a name, poor thing. I take suggestions.


USS Nexus.... for this UNNAMED ship XD not the miranda or constitution XD
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:34pm 
It has SOMETHING there. It's usually identified as the ship's recreation area, but there's a fairly similar place in the Saucer, i think. Truth be told i haven't looked into it too deeply yet, but when i do Consti-Crunch Time i'll definitely have that too.

What's so bad about the description? -.-
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:31pm 
read this ships discription -_-
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:31pm 
I'll keep it in mind, but both my Constitution and Miranda have names already: the Miranda's called U.S.S. Sean Copeland, one Constitution is named U.S.S. Replublic and another is currently meant for my Starbase and will receive the designation U.S.S. Lee Everett. Maybe I'll use Nexus for the Constellation, we'll see. The Constellation is pretty extensively reworked kitbash, will take a while.
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:31pm 
that's what the two large glass windows on it were...
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:30pm 
doesnt the constitution's lower section also house the confrence room and the messhall?
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:28pm 
The Miranda won't get her new interior today, but i'll probably rip out it's guts before publishing it (it's like 5.26 in the morning here, i'm off to bed soon). The Constitution has a bunch of stuff in her bowels but there's really not much to do there: Shuttlebay, Engineering, Cargo Bay, that's about it off the top of my head. Both ship's Saucers are pretty misstreated in terms of interior, gotta work on that. Also hope to do something clever with the Saucer rim; 3 blocks is a TERRIBLE hight for the right shape D:
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:25pm 
for this ship XD
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:25pm 
name suggestion USS Nexus.
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:23pm 
lol i noticed the spotlight thing XD. and looking forward to the miranda's new interior, and from what i saw, the lower part of the constitution is pretty much empty XD. looking forward to the publishing.
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:20pm 
I'm in fact doing a few touch ups on the Miranda and going to publish it in a few hours or so. It's not very good since it's an older project but i managed to improve it a bit, and i think she will receive a new interior down the line. Not sure about the Constitution yet. I hardly think my buddy would mind but, you know, literally everything below the Neck is his work. It really only is on the workshop because i want to have a backup stored somewhere. I've done (and plan to do) some refining that makes it A) look better and B) gives me the feeling of it being "my" ship but it's hardly finished. The Miranda's exterior is much further in this regard. Sadly i can't do any lighting right now since Keen didn't fix the spotlights yet : /
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 7:58pm 
i also saw that little miranda you were toying with XD.
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 7:57pm 
lol true. but i still think it'd be nice to have something already made to help you design your ship, even if you don't use that shell. because that's pretty much the only space engies make of the ambassador, and its a good look, so at the very least, you can know you didnt screw up your own shell XD. i'd much rather you make your own shell, cause you always seem to make star trek ships even more sleek. and as for your constitution, i hope you do publish it, the ones i saw in your little experiment worlds already show me it's much better than most out there.
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 7:42pm 
MIght be, might be :D And i generally agree that imported ships are kinda missing the point (WHY import a ship in a game ALL ABOUT SHIP BUILDING!?!!!!?!??!ELF11) and lazy... but then again there's tons of SE Multiplayer Survival players who're probably thinking similar thoughts about my replicas ("what the fuck is this shit, one hit takes the nacelles clean off!" "Dude, it's unplayable, learn to FPS!") so i generally try not to judge imports... too loudly, at least. And you know, if i was more about the interior i may even just take that shell, clean it up a bit, credit the original and do my thing on it (but then i wouldn't be able to think about it as "MY Ship". For the same reason i'm hesitant to really publish my Constitution because it was a combined effort of me and my clone). I DID want to use the Starbase someone uploaded, but to my annoyance it was about less than a thenth of it's actual size. If you import, at least keep the scale.)
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 7:27pm 
actually the thing on workshop isnt a ship. its just a 3d model someone ported to space engies.... its hollow and rough, and not an actuall ship. but hey, theres your rare hull parts XD
Commander Rotal  [author] 20 Oct, 2014 @ 10:26am 
Are you sure? I'm deadcertain i've seen one on the workshop, and not a bad one either.

As for your question: short answer "Yes", long answer "Yes, but."

In theory one of those "If i still play this in two years"-stretch goals is to have at least a Cheyenne-level-of-quality of at least every one of the better documented Starfleet Classes.

(edit: goddamn character limitation... here's the short version of the long answer)

The Ambassador is not a top priority because she uses very unique or rare parts, so any Ambassador build will be a scratch build (tying into one of the Wolf 359 ships, as one of them shares the secondary hull. Not sure if it's supposed to be the same size though), which is time consuming and i'd like to finish the Galaxy first and then mod it into Nebula and Galaxy-X. Ambassador is DEFINITELY planned, but will take a while.
Blue Moon 20 Oct, 2014 @ 8:17am 
hey rotal, i has a question..... no one has made the ambassadorclass yet.... are you planning on making one?
Commander Rotal  [author] 17 Oct, 2014 @ 10:58am 
And now that the repaied system seems to run somewhat stable i'd like to add that it's a damn shame they never used the model on the show again. Personally i think it's one of the most interesting and elegant designs they have come up with (aaadmittedly the neck adds a bit of visual bulks but the model was never supposed to be close to the camera. Hell, i don't think we have any fotos of what the ship looked like from behind besides knowing which parts they used for it).
