Columbia Class

This is the second of three TLE (The Lost Era) designs, submitted by Shadow (from AFC). As with the other two, this is suppose to be a canon design, though again, I do not recognise it myself.

The ship itself is a fairly nice one, good textures are used, and the model appears to be fairly smooth. This one would probably serve as the 'middle' of the three ships, being the medium strength. Again, I may be wrong, that is just my take on it. Smile

Hi,

here is the USS Columbia , Foundation Class, my version of the Excelsior study with 2 nacelles.

It is a HQ-Model with 5475 polys. Since it runs perfectly on my computer I think thatâ€™s no problem. The SOD is scaled to fit an Excelsior in size.

I made the model following the few photos that you can find on the net. If you want to see some reference go to http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/ .

Since this ship has no official class name since decades, I came up with one. Change it if you do not like it. It is just for gaming purposes.

Install:

Copy all .tga-files into Armada2 / Textures / RGB
Copy the .sod-file into Armada2 / SOD
Copy the .odf-file into Armada2 / ODF / Ships
Copy the .bmp-file into Armada2 / bitmaps / Admiralslog / Shipimages

Go to Armada2 / techtree
Open tech1.tt and fulltech.tt and insert: fcolumbia.odf 0

Go to Armada2 / Sprites
Open gui_global.spr
Insert the lines

At
# Federation build buttons
@reference=64

insert

b_fcolumbia gbfcolumbia 0 0 64 64

At
# Ship Wireframes
@reference=512

insert

fcolumbiaw1 columbia_wf 0 0 170 170
fcolumbiaw2 columbia_wf 170 0 170 170
fcolumbiaw3 columbia_wf 340 0 170 170
fcolumbiaw4 columbia_wf 0 170 170 170
fcolumbiaw5 columbia_wf 170 170 170 170

If the line @reference=512 does not exist in your version of gui_global.spr copy it also.

I've already seen these ships, there are also pictures of them taken from TNG episodes. For example from the battle of Wolf 359 or some ship wreckage yard I forgot the name of. But the ship's classes are not named though, only called "excelsior study model #".

#3 starfleetcommand3 2007-10-30 13:36

does ships from wolf 359 are all named excelsior

I like the ship. But I have a question. What class of station is in screenshot 3?

to #4 :

If you think of the large space station to the left it is this one:

armada2.filefront.com/file/Space_Dock;79856

#6 Supreme_Hunter_Guyver 2007-12-01 11:04

to #6:

Sorry, but I do not remember anymore where I got it. To long ago.

It was part of one of the many mods I tried before I started to make my own stuff.

long long ago.....
