Shipyards

It was always part of the plan for MineTrek 2 to go well beyond the capabilities of classic servers. There are plans to do those things (as you may have read in this blog), but what about other ships?

Well with some thought I decided we'd go ahead and make it officially part of MineTrek 2, we'll be doing other ships and were not afraid of neglecting Enterprise D (lets face it shes still the biggest attraction to the server by far, and is getting love here and there still).

We have the Defiant, a Bird of Prey being worked on in Freebuild right now (perhaps to be brought over to the  new Shipyards map), a Nova refit, and then there is my current deck work on the NX-01 Enterprise. There will be more ships in the future. :D

I thought I would share so people could see the complexity on some of these decks. They're not as bad as I say lol... but its no walk in the park.

  1. You should know that I built an NX-01 following the Deck plans that you are using. Check it out here:

    If you want, you are welcome to use this on a server.

    1. Yours is pretty nice, but you should definitely check out the deck setup I did. We build our own ships here, never importing the work of others, except in the case of the Enterprise E (where we have imported a 3D model as a shell) and of course the fact that all of our ships here are based off blueprints created by other people.

      If you're interested, we'd love to have someone who's already experienced the NX-01 build step in and see how far we can push the quality for the ship. Ours is probably a bit larger than your version due to our scaling choices, which would give you more freedom, not to mention every deck! :D
