As far as communities go, BCC has been consistently great.  Fleets/clans and mod teams come and go, but this casual Star Trek art-and-modding-centered site still trudges on.  It'd be wonderful if everyone who is still around can get a bit retasked on something that mutually interests us all - I know I've been my most productive when I've seen mutliple WIP threads consistently being updated and being the fifth wheel on that party bus.

No real story so far, but we'll see.  Working away...

I really like the shape of the deflector area. The only thing which detracts from the overall look of your ship, in my opinion, is how the straight pylons just stick out from the engineering hull- especially when other areas of the ship are quite curvy like the Galaxy Class.

Give me time, I'll have to see it in motion.

Very interesting. The deflector is a cross btwn Galaxy and Sovereign. I like it.

Welcome back! I like it, very nice! Maybe angle the pylons back ever so slightly. Can't wait to see her finished.

I like the overall flow of the ship, it has a very galaxy/Sov/Excel/DJ style to it. Even reminds me of my Evenstar class a little.

I'm not really sold on those bussards. They're a little too blocky. Loving the colours, though.

Vortex is right, the bussards could use a bit more sleekness to them.

The registry corresponds to the same time as the Galaxy, probably 2350s-2360s.  Many ships of this time still had more industrial looking nacelles.  I think they are shaped fine.

Texture work continues.  I've also changed the shape of the bussards to make them sleeker.  Really, I'm not partial to either design, so it's no matter to me.

Slow going.  Forgot how much I prefer building models to texturing them.  lol  Far from done.

And that would be the main reason why I can't see new ships coming from you ? :P j/k ;)

I, on the other hand, prefer texturing to modeling.

I can easly see this ship as a replacement to Ambassador class, really neat design and texturing. Great job so far DJ :)

The secondary hull just reminded me of Klingon Academy's Lexington Class.

It's like a TNG Lexington Class
