Pizza the Hutt is back! Many of you have made a submission in the naming competition he has underway, but now he also provides us with this Oberth kitbash container transport that serves as a TMP-era mining freighter! Not a bad looking kitbash, although the textures on the 'tub' could probably use some more attention. Either way, it's great news to see a new submission from Pizza the Hutt.

Cool



This is the Fisher Class transport/tug, here serving as a mining freighter.
The Fisher Class is a semi-canon ship.


Known flaws: wireframe not perfect, damage textures not correct.No borg textures

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

Copy the file ffreight2.sod into the SOD folder
Copy the .tga files into the Textures > RGB folder
Copy the file ffreight2.odf into the ODF > ships folder
Copy the file ffreight2.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 = "ffreight2" 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:

ffreight2.odf 2 fbase.odf fmining.odf // TMP era mining freighter

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

ffreight2.odf 0

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

Then add this line under federation build buttons:

b_ffreight2 gbfffreight2 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

Hello:

It is very cool to hear from Pixxa the Hutt again,as like many people i here, I haven't heard of this modder in ages, awesome to see that is back into action!.

This kitbask looks interesting, and I bet that to use Oberth class parts should be quite easy for Starfleet so I agree with this design, to be a mass-produceable starship that will not make budget problems for the rest of the fleet.

this desgn is not that new, it's Jackill's Fisher class container TUG

I like the oberth conversion, looks very "cannon". For the tub, I agree about the texturing. I would probably make it more angular. Also, check out the cargo carriers that Khan and his cronies are living in in Star Trek 2 (There is a better view of them in the cargo bay scene when Kirk arrives in TMP). This would make it have a little better feel.

That tub is known in the semi-canon from the Star Fleet Technical Manual-- it's practically identical to the tub used by the Ptolemy, in multiple various incarnations. I'd love to see the more capable, armoured troop-transport versions made for A2.

Terradyhne don't you have something similiar to this in the works on your website?


Looks awesome, can't wait to get it in game!
