Federation Chabot Class
 

For those of you unaware of which ship I am referring too, please see either Chabot Refit, Starfleet Command III Downloads, Starfleet Command III Federation or Chabot Class, Bridge Commander Downloads, Bridge Commander Future Timeline. Does anyone know if there is a version of this avaliable for Armada II yet?

Obviously it would have needed some poly reduction (it stands over 6k). Just wondered whether anyone knew of it being released anywhere? I know it isn't on A2Files, I've looked.

Nice looking ship, to say that really (description aside) its JAR Excelsior. Think the neck needs to be wider personally so that the hull flows (like the excelsiors lol).
If you do find one, i'd be interested :)

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

i think these are as close as your gonna get in terms of armada at least till some one converts one of 'em

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Why not do your own conversion?

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

As I recall, I think k_merse already took a shot on the model.

Edit: Here's a pic

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

mind hooking us up with a link big man can't find it under K_merse's user profile thxs :)

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

It is not a direct conversion of the Chabot but an Excelsior Refit with the Chabot's narcelles and textures. If you look from close, you can see that the Chabot doesn't have that Excelsior Refit-specific part on the ardrive section around the deflector. The Chabot also has different narcelle pylons and no top hangar section.
Not a bigg difference, but very important to me :)

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Where can we download it? doesnt appear to be on a2 files, or on your own website, and im curious :)

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

No can do buddy, its gonna be an exclusive model for his TC so no go.

For now, we can just drool at previews... :p

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

okay then i'll drool...wont like it but i'll drool :bawl:

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Boo. suppose that answers that question lol *sigh*

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

can you post a link to his mod page? i'd like to check it out

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Boo hoo indeed ;)

For a link to the mod page click at k_merse's sig.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Well, if this version is going to be specific to A2: Evolution (which is fair enough) I may have a crack at doing a version for myself. Played around with the textures yesterday, they seem to fit quite well with the Excelsior Class I am using for Zero Hour.. Will need a fair few tweaks here and there, but should be do-able.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Well, it took the better part of a day, but I've retextured my Excelsior with the Chabot textures. She's a combination of the standard Excelsior, and Ent-B / Lakota Refit where the model is concerned, but has been edited a lot in regards to her texture.

Not the typical Chabot Type (most noticibly the nacelles), though I wasn't looking for a post-Nemesis look with this one, but something a little earlier.Now just need to get permission to release her with Zero Hour, and I'm all set.

I'll be naming her the Relentless Class.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Absolutely freaking gorgeous Dare i say better than the actual model, i prefer ur nacelles to be honest.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Yes, it looks very nice. I was sure you would come up with something like this within a few days :) The best part is that the poly count is definitely low, so it can be mass-produced.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Thank You!! :D

Like I've said already, I'm only using these nacelles to have the ship fit more into the TNG era. I'm having the standard Excelsior too, though she'll be more of a TMP/Lost Era ship. The timeline ZH now belongs in doesn't really allow for a post-Nemesis Refit, so much so, that I'm still debating on whether to include the Norexan or not.

Indeed this is true, fear not though, there are no doubt significant differences between mine and yours, most noticibly the nacelles, position of the phaser arrays, and the overall hull colour. I've toned mine down a bit from the original.

Oh, and the poly count currently stands at 2180. I may try to get it down a little more, but 2180 isn't that bad considering.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Thats good work Ash. I know its a bit late to bring this up but you might also want to take a look this baby just for comparisons sake I suppose.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

That's probably one of the more unique nacelle designs I've seen. Absolutely gorgeous!

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

either Achilles or MAP made a A2 version of this...i wanna say its over at AFC but im not too sure

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

I did see that whilst working on my version of the Chabot. Its a darn nice ship, I'll give it that, although it is somewhat larger than your standard Excelsior. If you download and compare the windows, this one is 1/3rd the extra size.

It is probably over on AFC if anywhere, I know it isn't on A2Files thats for sure.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

I spoted the size difference but wrote it off as the ship having been torn down to the frame like Enterprise was before TMP. If Achilles did a version it will be in one of his AOW instalments as the ship is less then a year and a half old. I know I mentioned it to him when he was doing his feds on the primis that since he hates fed ships it would be more fun to kill them if they looked good.

Re: Federation Chabot Class
 

Well, it isn't in AoW, I play it time to time, so unless its on permanent cloak, it isn't there. ;)

:lol: yeah, that sounds a great deal like him to be honest. =p
