We all like those new designs that we only catch glimpses of in the films/series. Courtesy of Greathor, you have the Manta class, of which the Enterprise-J was part of. Whilst the design is very close to the breif shot on the Enterprise episode, the textures are a bit of a put off (for me anyhow, don't know about the rest of you).

Anyhow, included is the ship and textures, odf's and an admiral's log pic but does lack a buildbutton or wireframe. Perhaps the best course of action with this ship is to make it a map unit, it has that uniqueness to make it that. Otherwise, it's pretty free choice where you add it with the lack of any other install instructions (as a warning to those who rely on them). Recommend you put it as an advanced battleship, buildable in the second shipyard after all level 2 upgrades are researched.

Still, the shape is all there, so, you should be able to get quite a bit of fun out of this.

Here is the Manta Class, in which the Enterprise J was a member of.


Add ODF to ODF, ships

After a lot of hours of work, a version 2 will be coming out with a lot better textures, I might submit in 1 or 2 days :-)

It's not bad, it's just that looking at this picture....

...yours looks almost too round in the saucer. More like 1701-D than 1701-C in its saucer. And really, what can you do about those textures? It's a problem with the original design (so "advanced" looking, it doesn't look Starfleet anymore-- but then, how many fans complained about the shape of the 1701-D when it was new to us?).


I love the effort, and I like the attempt to model yet another as-canon-as-you-want-ENT-to-be ship into the game. So I look forward to the update. Rock

Where's the SOD file? Without it I end up building a cube with red bugs on it :P
