Well, I am a great admirer of Jeff Russel's Starship Dimensions website. Now, as work on the Blue Phantom Project proceeds and our little page dedicated to the battle threads begins to take shape, I've decided to put some more work into it and create a TBP/TBP:EU-related version of that website, dedicated to the Ships from TBP and the battle threads.

You can check it out HERE (best viewed at 1280x768 or higher resolution ;))

Nope, so far it includes pretty much all the ships that are in some way related to TBP and TBP:EU (i.e. the battlethreads)

- United Planets / UPMF (e.g. Victory Mk2, Pheonx Cruiser, SBCR Warrior)
- Dhilani (Dhilani ....)
- ESS (Seraphim, Predator SD, Traquia, etc.)

Of course, the list is far from complete and I'd be glad to add ships from other battlethread factions, too ;)

Once I have stronger representation for the other factions I might as well devide the groups by faction as Russel did on his page, not sure yet.

IMHO you could do better without the fighters in the foreground

???? That's just the intro!

And for the 101924th time, those are transports, no fighters.

Can I have my Supreme Battleship with extra cheese? :)

Looking at this, it is really evident how much thought you've put into TBPP.

Very slick. The more features I see, the more I apprecciate ESS Central. I'm really excited to see how it will turn out in the future.

That's really nice, I love the Starship Dimensions too. :elvis:

You should move into doing one for XWA or merge the 2 sometime.
Get that SSD done 1st. ;)

GT you've just earned texturing duties for that Keeper dreadnaught. Good job
And if you don't want to just give me the texture you used and I'll do it.
I'm surprised you didn't put the Trebuchet in there.

patience, my friend.

BTW, on that keeper dread, those were no textures, I just took that image you posted in the ooc thread, added some lights and lines and voilla

anyway, I'd gladly do the Dread, I was tinkering with the idea for a while now. Mind sending me the model?
