[Ship]Star Trek: Enterprize (NX-01)

[IndustrialRobot]

Hey!

Recently I was watching the Star Trek: Enterprize series with some friends, and I thought it would be fun to make a ship mod for FTL!

The ship image was not my design, it was brutally ripped from Google Images. I made sure beforehand it was not copyrighted by anyone.

The NX-01 at the beginning of the series was originally pretty weak, with only a prototype weapon and a torpedo launcher. I don't want to give away too many spoilers, if you guys are watching (or want to watch) the series.

I think my favorite part of creating this mod was the 'Shielding' design. I decided to use Zoltan Shielding rather than just extra HP points, so that there's a better chance of actually living on to get a shielding system. I tried to go for what looks like "Polarizing the Hull Plating", something John would yell at the screen in the beginning of a battle.

I actually didn't take time to look for all of the bugs, but I DO know that Cloaking causes the Shielding image to overlap over the ship hull.

I hope you guys (and gals) enjoy the ship!
Let me know if you guys have any questions, ideas, or concerns about the ship.

The shield shape is really gonna mess with defense drones.

The date above is wrong, the mod was updated January 17. I edited my previous post, it was unnecessary.

Update: Gibs!

After about a month with using the ship in runthroughs, it bugged me that the ship had no gibs for a while. So, I revisited the mod and implemented some!

It took me a few hours to work out how to cut up the ship into parts, and put them together in Superluminal. No more awkward text on destruction!

A few friends pointed out that there weren't enough airlocks on the ship, which made putting out fires harder. I put in more, pretending them to be cargo bay doors and shuttle bay doors.

I do hope you guys like it. Leave feedback on what you think should be changed, or added.

In a future update, I plan to add custom weapons, once I figure out how to implement them.
