MineTrek 2.0: Time for some News

Spoilers:

- Halkun is back. Woo! :D

- NX-74001 Sovereign by Atrocities has been imported.

- Sovereign Spacedock has been placed around the above ship.

- Voyager decks have been imported and as usual the new ship has been getting a lot of attention!

- Build day was, in my opinion, a success! We shall have another sometime!

- Video is coming along, but I am a lazy admin.

- Plugin updates, so maybe not THAT lazy. The server is running better and is more secure than ever.

- 4,017,740.

- Slice and Dice.

Baby-Sov, By Atrocities

Some effort more recently has been put into getting the Enterprise E onto the server. Most of that work was initially focused around the hull due to the problem of acquiring any kind of internal schematics for the ship... but apparently, they exist, someone made them, and despite their rarity we were able to get a hold of an HD version of the plans.

Those in hand, we set out to get this thing made. Wow... that is a lot more work than I realized. What we need is some seriously dedicated cleanup artists - it just so happens we recently had one drop by!

Thanks to his efforts there is now a decking-included version of the ship in the server, albeit a bit off-scaled in various ways. You can barely tell, it looks amazing and as per usual MineTrek style, has all the internals (minus walls, decor, turbolifts, ... you get the picture).

Sovereign Spacedock, By 14jroyer

I had thought of doing one of these initially for the Enterprise D when I first envisioned the server coming to 1.2. Maybe that was a bit too ambitious, the ship is so large...

But someone has made one for Sovereign class ships, and it turns out it fits MineTrek size just dandy! With their offer (or should I say request?) to use it on the server, I went ahead and gave our new Sovereign a shipyard.

Check it out!

Voyager is coming home!

I know it has been done before, by several different builders / teams, but we at MineTrek have our way of doing things and we just had to have our own Voyager.

So take a look at some of the screenshots.

Thank the Maker!

In person (well digital person) no less! Halkun has been dropping by a few times recently and seems to have taken interest in his old project again, which makes everyone around here pretty happy. I'm just glad hes getting to see how far along things have gotten and the direction the project is going.

In my eyes, the next step is get Ed Whitefire to visit the server... and then maybe Patrick Stewart or something. *cackle*

Ok enough talk about famous people. :D

Tonight we dine on sliced decking!

It was a simple process that went completely wrong on me the first go, but I managed to render up each deck of the ship using mcmap. The images are very interesting - its like looking at a dynmap rendered view of each deck.

Here are a few samples. The rest of the files can be downloaded by visiting our forums!
