Request Building Meshes for STPSP Bases

[Luke Reichelt]

Now that we've got those Federation buildings done, it's time to move on to the next set of structures. Personally, I'm thinking we should do the Bajoran structures highlighted in the image below next:

I may need to texture the orange? area and a gray area also?

Yeah, I would recommend doing so.

Now this

The Bajoran structures are now up and running as intended. Here are some screenshots of them in action

Dakhur Base on Bajor:



Lunar V Base on Jeraddo:



Andros Base on Andros:

Now that we've got the Bajoran structures done, it's time to do the Cardassian ones, specifically this military base and the three structures highlighted in the image directly below it:

The Cardassian structures are now up and running as intended. Here are some screenshots of them in action.

Lakarian City and Lakat on Cardassia VI (AKA Cardassia Prime):





Cardassia V Colony:



Cardassia III Trading Center:



Hutet on Cardassia IV:



Gallitep on Bajor:

Our next set of structures spans several worlds. The first is the Trill structure highlighted in the image below:



Next, there's this Risian resort (just the building, not the surrounding terrain):



Lastly, there's this Ferengi structure and the Tower of Commerce. The latter is stated in dialogue to be 40 stories tall which would put its height at somewhere around 120 meters:

The above structures are now up and running as intended. Here are some screenshots of them in action.

Mak'ala on Trillius Prime:



Temtibi Lagoon on Risa:



Tower of Commerce on Ferenginar:



Ferhunar-B Mining Outpost (located on a small moon of a conjectural gas giant in Ferenginar's system):

It's now that we move on to the more complex structures. The first is the Ba'ku village:



Then there's Utopia Planitia Base:

The largest and most complex structure is saved for last, and that's the Romulan capital city, shown in this series of screenshots from Nemesis:

As with the Cardassian military base, all of these structures are to be rendered as a single mesh.

I think the Ba'ku mesh it can small buildings,. ..

For additional visual reference, here are some screenshots from the opening scenes in Insurrection, to give you an idea of the overall look and scale of the village:

The final set of structures is now complete. Here are some screenshots of them in action:

The Ba'ku Village:



Terell Base on Ceti Alpha V:



Weytahn Colony:



While it's not actually part of the whole STPSP package, here's a screenshot of Utopia Planitia Base on Mars:



Romulan Capital City on Romulus. While it's not visible from this angle, Romulus' binary companion planet Remus features rather prominently in the sky above:



In addition, I have also decided to redesign Lakat on Cardassia VI (AKA Cardassia Prime), since the previous version didn't quite have the effect I was originally aiming for:



Now that we've got all the buildings out of the way, all that needs to get done is the various spacecraft (plus the Klingon High Council building, which has a 3D model available for download) courtesy of Trekkie - and there's a lot of them that need to get done. In addition to vessels that haven't been done yet by any user, there's also many in need of "visual updates" using the excellent 3D models of David Metlesits and others. Unfortunately, Trekkie has a rather limited window of opportunity to work on his Orbiter stuff due to his busy work schedule.

Lastly, here's some music to set the mood, courtesy of the late, great James Horner:

 

[gattispilot]

I hope someone steps up. I got projects that I need to work on

 

[Trekkie]

Oh my, you guys have been busy! Im planning on getting back into orbiter after a few pc crashes in the past year everytime i was trying to get back in

 

[Trekkie]

I hope someone steps up. I got projects that I need to work on

As always your stuff looks gorgeous! Thank you for the contributions

 

[Buck Rogers]

Do you have a list of the vessels required, and/or being worked on by others?

 

[Trekkie]

I plan on working on alot of them, i just look for someone who might be able to make Hangars for most of the vessels, do you have any experience with that?

 

[Buck Rogers]

do you have any experience with that

Depends on what you mean with Hangars? As far as buildings go Gattispilot's looks great. Ship bound I have made one, Tempest, but I guess each ship is individual, would need more details. And feel free to use any resources I have made if needed.

On a related note, I have also taken the time to get the orbital dynamics right with regards to the various binary planets. Initially, I was reluctant to do this because, in order for it to work, the smaller of the two has to be classified as a moon, and to me this felt a bit like cheating. In order to get the distances between the two right, I had to use the following orbital calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/orbital-period
