Description Another Masao Okazaki design I built. And another communication ship. Yes sir, I hereby present you the UES Baikal, United Earth's first mobile subspace transmitter. It was a fun build, the textures took more than the actual meshing...



Mesh by me

I personally never got this stage in the starship evolution.

Great job though. This pic turned out great.

If you have time, you should really play OGame. If possible, Uni 16.
Why? It's fun, and it has some fun animations.

This could have just as well been the UES Led ZEPPELIN! Very unusual, but unique design. Probably, next to the Daedalus/Olympic class, one of the most unusual designs I've seen so far!

i'm sorry but the designer must've had an extreme need to get laid cuz this ship bears a strange and eerie resemblance to a vibrator. this peice looks great awesome work on the translation from "blueprint" to 3d CGI, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a flying dildo in space.

I always liked this series of craft from when I first got Fabio's ships and fighters back in the autumn of 2003. Looks like you've done a faily true to design peice here Dave, I'd say thats a hearty well done

davemetlesits In reply to karanua [2009-08-30 11:42:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much, but the design is Masao's, I only 3D-ized it.

JamieTakahashi [2009-08-29 23:57:49 +0000 UTC]

It is a simple design, and I can see how the textures would take longer. Many times they do sadly, and that's my biggest Achilles Heel

davemetlesits In reply to JamieTakahashi [2009-08-30 11:43:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I had to distort the lettering and UE logos so that the cyllindrical mapping would not make them look disorted on the model itself.

Very nicely done

Looks like something that might actually someday exist, if we ever get off this planet...
