Thermal_Nuclear_Chicken gives us his latest release, a conversion of an old SFC3 mod called the Charleston class starship. The fusion of technologies and the sheer unconventionality of the design makes this one worthy of commending to your immediate technology.

Note that the hardpoints are specifically named for their function, at least for the weapons, making this a noteworthy innovation in and of itself. Hope it works for everyone. Also, the ship has some pretty powerful weapons (quantum torps, Galaxy phasers AND a corbomite device) that some may consider overkill. Not like you don't know how to change the weapons loadout if it's too much for you.

Indeed, the only point of fault on this model would be the registry on the saucer section, but then, that's easy enough to correct, if you've got the skill and the right programs.

Everything you need is included --the .ODFs, the build button, the wireframe, and the Admirals' Log pic.

Download it now and you'll be doing the Charleston at the big dance tonight.

Cool

Important note about adding weapons:

The hardpoints on this model are somewhat unique. I've named each hardpoint for what its function is or where on the ship it is located:

Phasers: phas1, phas2, phas3...
Torpedoes: torp1 and torp 2
Tractor Beam: trac1 and trac2
Deflector: def

I usually put any kind of special weapon that isn't close in design to a phaser or torpedo onto the deflector hardpoint (such as the Corbomite Reflector)

What are the other ships in the screenshots? I don't think I've seen them around here.

Very nice, I know converting from SFC3 can be a tedious, and you have done a good job, nice looking ship all round not mad keen on the engines but still nice.

Good model, good ship, but what actually picked my interest was that vessel right above the charleston in the second pic, that'd make a fine addition to my mod as a defiant successor. Anywho, I bet you got some major lag running that many ships onscreen on your last pic, I try not to mass that many ships in one location, especially modded ones with high resolutions, cause I'd be crying lag in no time... 9/10

Cool looking ship Thermal_Nuclear_Chicken. I've never seen this design before..nice! :thumbsup: one thing though, what in the world are the Fed ship's firing at in the fourth pic(is that a giant red blood cell)?
#5 dasani 2009-06-17 15:57

#6 Thermal_Nuclear_Chicken 2009-06-18 12:06
They are firing at a Borg Talon in the fourth pic (there were so many ships firing that it covered the ship with the shield sprite)


most of the other vessels have been posted on the Armada2 site
