Huh... Ok, maybe I need to reinstall and re-rip. Haven't found anything like that orangey bussard collector glow in any textures I've got. Here's what I used: Ok, that's weird. Here's my rip via unmodel. It also doesn't have a lot of the extra emission bits on the underside of the nacelle.

I think if I do anymore Star Trek model ports they'll be from Star Trek Fleet Command alone.

Indeed a shame, I was so close to downloading the whole folder, decided I wasn't in a rush and didn't need 80% of what was in there... c'est la vie.

As someone who does 3D print them, i've never once sold a model I've printed or a file or even shared publically where they are hosted. Hell, the people who print these files even printed a ship from Adversaries a friend wanted that I did provide, so the people doing the printing for them aren't exactly as touchy about this whole thing as Cryptic are.

johnfleetadmiral01: Why don't you put them on p3dm.ru? I see no reason not to. That site's hosting other game rips, and I don't think the copyright issue is as extreme in Russia as it is in the US. Besides, if you live in the U.S., then so-called C&D orders violate your 1st Amendment right to free speech, so they shouldn't even be legally possible. I consider such orders to be unjust.

Hello 👋
I was just wondering if anyone has a solution to the hairs being wonky on some of the ST:FC models? Some of the hair textures are Grey, but I'd like to color them in. Any help here is much appreciated <3

Any help here is much appreciated <3 Copy and paste the diffuse texture into the alpha channel. We gave that a try and it didn't work for us. Any other ideas? Some of them are fine, but others are not. Thank you for your quick reply <3

Besides, if you live in the U.S., then so-called C&D orders violate your 1st Amendment right to free speech, so they shouldn't even be legally possible. They don't. The first amendment only gives you the ability to criticize Government officials. It does not apply in any way to copyright infringement or private entities. 1A enjoins the US government to protect your freedom of expression from itself and undue burden imposed by others. This later is why private entities dance around freedom of speech despite the fact that the 1A doesn't force them to do anything in particular. The US state must protect you (presuming you are in its jurisdiction) from your cell phone provider limiting your expression because cell service is a kind of public service. One might argue the same about Facebook or this forum. One would tend to lose that argument but in general providers of these kinds of platforms try to avoid anything that might encourage lawmakers to target them either on moral or 1A grounds because the state has the power (with or without the 1A. 1A just makes it more publicly acceptable). Corporations (and other such frameworks) are (fictitious) people, my friend. As such they have 1A protection as well, including the protection against forced association. Who you associate with is expression is speech. So they get to say what you can say while using their stuff unless...Well there are a few exceptions that fall under the rubric of "chilling effect." Suffice it to say most don't apply here. Copyright does apply. Copyright is essentially a limit on freedom of expression carved out of common law before the 1A was twinkling of an idea. It exists to encourage expression. Specifically, what's Cryptic's incentive to invent these ships if you can take them and not only make money but dominate the market? Replace "you" with "CBS/Paramount" and you begin to understand. Cryptic designs are appearing in canon now. Best believe Cryptic is being paid. Modern copyright tends to take this too far, thanks to Disney but the purpose is the same. What IS protected speech is explaining how one rips game models. I can explain how to kill a human, rob a bank, build a nuclear weapon, etc. These are all things the state would punish me for doing. But explaining them is just expression and thus protected. Freeforums is not required to host the explanations. They can ban me, etc. So far, even nigh public service entities like twitter aren't required to host that kind of thing. But it's not a crime, in the US. BUT in this case, you are gonna get SLAPPed if you do. Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation: These are lawsuits (and nastygrams/takedown notices) that will probably fail on the merits but are sent/filed anyway under the assumption that the target (in this case you) can't afford to fight them. John Oliver does a better job than I can detailing it and you can find the segment on youtube. SLAPP is why most platforms won't let you discuss how to reverse engineer many things. I refer you again to John Oliver if you think platforms should just fight back. SLAPPs are REALLY expensive. Unless the SLAPP is insanely stupid or violates the ethics (such as they are) of lawyering, even winning is expensive because the SLAPPer isn't going to have to cover your fees. If they are that egregious, it will be years between you paying your lawyers and the SLAPPers being forced to pay you back and they can always declare bankruptcy to try dodge that. In short: it's not free speech, free speech is bigger than being critical of the gov't, it still isn't free speech, and the related speech that is "free" will end up costing people a lot of money if allowed. Also, this is not legal advice, IANAL but I think I got the gist of it. In the spirit of free speech, if anyone wants to privately, through outside channels, explain game ripping and reverse engineering to me, I'm all ears.

rduda, Good to hear from you. Truth be told I've been inactive lately because a Cryptic Studios got on my ass situation about the Star Trek Online ship models a month or two ago. However while I'm not sharing models anymore I am still allowed to do fanart with them. Since you mentioned DAZ3D I'll be honest Star Trek Fleet Command's character models are better than STO's in my opinion. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/964544511713869955/1066257227977076817/TWOK_Kirk_G8M.png

Anyone know of a model of the ECS Fortunate from Enterprise? I swear I've had one in the past but I can't find it amongst fleet command or adversaries rips.

There was one called the Fortunate in Fleet Command, but it wasn't a screen accurate one. star-trek-fleet-command.fandom.com/wiki/ECS_Fortunate

The STO Odyssey class is getting a remaster because of it coming to Star Trek Picard. There is no ETA of when it will be coming to the game but I know it's coming because an associate of mine, who did the animation's for SpaceDock's lore video about it got early access to it.

That Unreal Engine Star Trek game, Star Trek Resurgence finally got a confirmed release date. May 23rd.
To me it looks like Life is Strange with a Star Trek skin. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing I actually liked Life is Strange.
