If you haven't gotten Pizza the Hutt's spectacular Hyperion class design yet, now's your chance-- and this time, she's lightmapped and all done up beautifully. Or, y'know, ready to assimilate, if you like to play as Borg.

If you've already gotten it, upgrade to this new model right now.

Cool



This is the Hyperion Class by Pizza The Hutt.
Some time ago I was wondering how a ship like the Nebula class would have looked like back
in the TMP era. I came across the conelly class for Starfleet command, but it had too many
polys to port it into ArmadaII and I also found the weapons pod to be too tiny. So I decided to design my own ship by kitbashing various of
P81's TMP era ships.



Known flaws: wireframe not perfect, damage textures not correct.

Installation:
-------------

Copy the file fhyperion.sod into the SOD folder
Copy the .tga files into the Textures > RGB folder
Copy the file fhyperion.odf into the ODF > ships folder
Copy the file fhyperion.bmp into the Bitmaps > Admiralslog folder

Open the file fyard2.odf or fyard.odf (whichever shipyard you want the ship
To be built from) and insert the line: buildItemXX = "fhyperion" under
build Parameters below the last ship to be build
XX being the next unused number

Save that file

Open "tech 1" from the Techtree folder and insert this line:

fhyperion.odf 1 fyard2.odf // Hyperion class

Save this file, open "fulltech.tt" and insert the following line

fhyperion.odf 0

Then save and open "GUI_global.spr" from the sprites folder

Then add this line under federation build buttons:

b_fhyperion gbffhyperion 0 0 64 64


There is a wire frame, it is not perfect, but at least there is one
just add this line into the gui global under wireframes

@reference=128
@tmaterial=interface

fhyperionw1 fhyperionwire 40 0 40 40
fhyperionw2 fhyperionwire 0 40 40 40
fhyperionw3 fhyperionwire 40 40 40 40
fhyperionw4 fhyperionwire 80 0 40 40
fhyperionw5 fhyperionwire 0 0 40 40

ok I must have done something wrong putting the ship in, I had the previous version of the Hyperion already in game, I added this version and the only difference I've noticed is that now the struts holding the nacelles have vanished. Any idea what I did wrong?

I got the excact same problem, and it did it to my 3 Shelly Class varients. I think it has something to do with textures because it sometimes happens when I add alpha channels to ships.
