Well here we have a simple but effective retexture mod from Jetfreak based on Scotchy's Galaxy textures. The textures are good. Far better than the stock Nebula and Galaxy. They remind me of the Legacy Galaxy textures which are the same shade of grey. They certainly do improve the stock models appeal greatly. The mod also includes Borg textures and an extra texture to suit Epytron Omega's nebula variants.

A solid piece of retexturing. Nice work!

Stock Galaxy and Nebula class Retexture

- Hey guys, this is a retexture of the stock Galaxy and Nebula class. The old textures have now been replaced with Scotchy's textures.

- As an added bonus, I have added an extra texture (Filename: fspeicalpod1.tga) for those using Epytron Omega's nebbie variants. This retexture is fully compatible with the said mod.

- Borg Textures are included

- I have also made new Admiral's Log pics to match with the new textures.

Galaxy Class Brief History:

Introduced: 2363
Ship type: Explorer
Length: 641m.
Major Conflits fought: Dominion war (2374-2375) and other minor conflicts of the 2360's and 2370's

Launched in the 2360's The Galaxy class is the result of an ambitious development program at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. It is the largest and most complex Starfleet starship built to date. The Galaxy class is primarily designed to replace the aged Ambassador and Oberth classes in research missions. Galaxy-class starships feature a detachable and independently operational saucer section, three shuttlebays and a captain's yacht at the bottom of the saucer. The ship class has proven herself in the battlefield and is still being produced in many Federation shipyards.

Notable Ships:
USS Challenger NCC-71099
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D
USS Galaxy NCC-70637
USS Magellan NCC-71856
USS Odyssey NCC-71832
USS Venture NCC-71854
USS Trinculo NCC-71867

Nebula Class Brief History:

Introduced: 2360's
Ship type: Explorer and Science ship
Length: 440m. (Weapons pod and Tactical pod), 465m. (Sensor pod), 525m. (Nacelle pod)
Major Conflits fought: Dominion war (2374-2375) and other minor conflicts of the 2360's and 2370's

Nebula starships are about the same size as Galaxy-class vessels. The saucer hulls and the warp nacelles of the two classes are substantially identical. The Nebula class has a more compact arrangement of the hull components. Its interchangable pod has made the class quite versatile and has spawned several variants.

Hello:

If you think the ships look good in those pics, well, that's nothing, you have to see them ingame, just marvelous!!!!! Rock 100/10

The Nebula variants looks great and the Galaxy variants (still unreleased, sorry I will release them soon) look just magnificent, the stock-like Galaxy-Venture looks like in DS9 and the Galaxy-.X is just better than expected.

Thanks for making this pack Jetfreak!

Does anyone know how I can get these textures to work on the Armada II Demo? They looked great on the screenshots, but these new textures made my game crash and they still had problems after I shrinked them.

This just goes to show once again that polys are not as important as the skin. Good job!Rock :thumbsup: Drink

Hmmm,


I'd like to see a vote on the best Galaxy texture.
#8 Majest 2008-02-06 19:44
I agree with Starfox, textures are what make a ship and not the pollies. They look awesome and I would really like to see them in the next upgrade project by Freyr. Rock


Yes 10/10, something I don't give out often.
