Fujiwhara Effect with a Connie

Ok... for a little light hearted banter, how about I ask this...

Am I the only one who has played The Fujiwhara Effect with a Constitution class just to recreate the ending of The Motion Picture?

    No, but now I need to do this

    Nope. In fact... I've done it with all three variants of the Connie. Refit, Kelvin, and Discovery. And took screenshots.

    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
    ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

    It had to be done.

    Never cared for the connie, but i might do this for an oberth.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    You know what needs to be done now?
    We need the other classes that had an Enterprise.
    So...
    • NX
    • Excelsior refit
    • Ambassador
    • Galaxy
    • Sovereign
    • Odyssey
    • Universe

    And then maybe other hero ships. Although I admit the Crossfield is a bit... flat.

    I did it in my Cross-Refit, and it actually looked quite good....despite the flatness :lol:

    Now lets not bully the lady just because she's not quite as ample as the others ;)

    Seriously though the Crossfield isn't even the most flat ship there as the universe is even more flat as is the Defiant.

    Yes, :D, my main character is already a TOS all the time, so I keep the connie as my main ship. The first time I did Fuji, I took my Legendary Connie and dressed it as Motion Picture and my captain too. Which I seem to keep doing if other people want to do the event :D
  • smokebaileysmokebailey Member Posts: 4,668 Arc User
    Did with my temporal light cruiser, TOS skin, of course.

    I'm not dissing the Crossfield in any way. Its just the screenshots I was able to take at the time didn't really feel good to me.

    I flew the Defiant and the Intrepid, but didn't think to get screenshots

    Here's some shots of the Crossfield (in more ways then one as in my headcanon my ships in the namesake of the Crossfield class refitted from a proof-of-concept prototype into a regular starships without the sporedrive installed obviously).

    The main issue I found was how dark the Crossfield is normally so it was not easy to find angles where it didn't just blend into the background.

    EDIT:I'm not 100% satisfied how that last pic turned out.
  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,577 Community Moderator
    Yea. I used a Crossfield Refit, and I wasn't satisfied with the "confrontation" shot at the bow of The Other.

    Yeah I noticed that the dark hull color of the Crossfield works against it there, so the forms blend into the background, with Connies their lighter hull color works for them better.

    Use skin0, aka TOS skin on the Cross, I did that to mine, makes the ship somewhat presentable.

    Maybe skin my TOS D7 as a K'tinga for the episode and get some payback.

    That's a forgone conclusion :smile: . It still might be amusing to go at it TMP style too.
