Dammit! Defiant, do you know the difference between bitmap, gif, and jpeg files? You keep on saving in bitmap format with either the jpeg or gif extension. How about saving them with the right extensions? When I said convert earlier I meant not to save a bitmap with a gif or jpeg extension. I meant to actually save it using those formats. A bitmap is an uncompressed image. A gif is a compressed image used for images with 256 or less colors. A jpeg is also a compressed image for use with pics with up to millions of colors. A jpeg also loses color depth quality the more it is compressed. Learn man!

Gee. An "X". Unique design, I'll give you that ... LOL.

Friendly reminder that all of Defiant's pics are on a server that only lets people view non-hypertext pages via cut and paste links from outside sources. People who use those servers should remind other people to do that prodecure should they give such a link to non-hypertext files.
Defiant, this includes GeoCities as well!

Dude, figure it out, but use "preview post" until you do. You might want to private message Dat to help you before he dies from laughter.

*lol* Actually, I'm already dead! Remember, my previous status line was DOA and it still says that in my profile under the "notes" section.

There's still a Flare upload thing, right?

Yeah, but I don't have 250 posts...

Oh there are requirements, that sucks.

Well, my spirit is restless. See? This is me. And me as well.

All right, what about the ship?
Posted by Timo (Member # 245) on :
Okay, so she's about Excelsior size, right? And four nacelles, not just two? A big beast if you ask me.
I can see impulse engines on the saucer, so I assume the engineering hull stern is going to be free for a shuttlebay or two then. *Are* those shuttlebays? You might want to add some "door detail" there.
Is the ship armed? Strip phasers (to go with that red-ramscoop "modern look") or turrets (to go with the general Excelsior look)? We want to see 'em guns!
All four-nacellers so far have had a problem with the deflector dish. Where is it? The blunt-nosed Constellation could plausibly have it at the very bow, but this baby's bow is too sharp for that. Is there an inset dish somewhere?
Does the ship have some sort of a special mission? I'm a sucker for such things. You could perhaps add some mission-specific hardware there: prominent guns for a warship, prominent *lack* of guns (accentuated by the presence of other detail) on a courier vessel, cargo doors on a fast transport, weird antennas on a spyship or scout.
And windows, I wanna see windows! Perhaps not as many as in actual TNG-era ships, but even an Excelsior-era ship has quite a few.

It's coming. I widh they were .gifs instead of .jpgs. Oh well, later today.

Do yourself and us a tremendous favour and sign up for an account with either Brinkster or Host. Posted by The Defiant (Member # 818) on :
Well, here is the detailed version Timo wanted: Here
Well, I tried adding an engineering hull but it didn't look right. I am making variants with weaponry, cargo holds, sensors, and intelligence-y stuff. Expect them later. (Thanks Timo) The aft space of the secondary hull adjacent of the lower shuttlebay is the place where the shuttles are stored, the doors open and it flies out. That sounds about right, yeah.

Yay! Defiant found a server to use to display his pics. And they're in the correct format for jpegs. Now, you need to learn not to post big images in your post, but just to link to them. "Big" meaning the length is larger than 1024 pixels. Even 800 pixels wide would be stretching it in terms of "big".
