Wait a sec… can he even do that?

It's not defunct as long as my six-year-old LightWave dongle doesn't give out!! Seriously, Newtek really needs to rethink their copy protection mechanism. The idea that your plugins could suddenly become inert bits of software flotsam if a USB dongle suddenly were lost or damaged... is frickin' nuts.

Mine's sealed in corbomite, along with copies of my Hyper plugs.

Don't you mean carbonite?

No, actually I mean, corbomite (can't believe I misspelled that).

CORBOMITE!

C'mon, Deg! You've GOT to give us the Fesarius vs. your new Enterprise!

So what ship is it? Is that the Star Trek: Online runabout?

AAMOF, the Fesarius is in the deg3D pipeline, my friend.

Correct, dude, it's a design Ryan Dening did for STO, Sacagawea-Class Scout. I'm not a gamer so that's all I know (I just saw the art on SFM and had to build it as I thought is was sO cool).

I have been to the STO site looking for their version of it, but have yet to see it listed. Ryan said mine was the best he has seen it built.

I thought that most of the stuff done for that version of ST-OL was dumped when the project-shakeup occurred. Is that not correct?

ST-OL has been through several complete redesigns. At one point the team had Andrew Probert provide a lot of internal set-design for the Galaxy class, which was going to serve as a "hub" for the player, but I understand that, also, all went by the wayside.

I'm not into MMORPGs, so I won't really end up experiencing any of this anyway, but it's amazing to me how much good stuff was developed for this game and then trashed. The Sacajawea-class (which is, as I recall, a design intended to be a player's first ship... a one man "starship" in effect, which would have gotten replaced with larger, crewed ships as you would have progressed through the game) was a very creative way of doing this, I thought.

 

[EmperorKalan]

Sure, but what did you think of the animation, sojourner?

Excellent of course! Surprised you didn't have the nacelles swing out and go to warp.

But it was already in warp.

Looks great deg!

 

[FormerLurker]

Bad pun at the end.

 

[nickyboy]

That is just simply AWESOME! Well done

 

[deg3D]

Thanks, guys, glad you like.

Cary, ya got me, I know nothing of STO and all that, just a model-monkey myself, eh.
