Thebes is great, it's my favorite of the bunch.  I like how you have the nacelle pylons much better on this one than on Luxor.

Seconded.

It also looks slightly like the Protector from Galaxy Quest :)
And it reminds me of a picture I once saw on google. I'll have try find it...

Great work Adonis!!!

Well, the Thebes actually has more firepower than the Luxor, that's the main point. Altho the Belknap doesn't make much sense either, it's still my fav Connie variant :P

Names update:

Thebes Class: (greek name of Luxor)

NCC-3250 Thebes
NCC-3251 Memphis
NCC-3252 Alexandria
NCC-3253 Pi-Ramesses
NCC-3254 Swenet      Ancient Egyptian name of City of Aswan/Assuan, means trade
NCC-3255 Tjeny       home of the pharaohs of the 1st and 2nd dynasty, today city of Girga

Tutmoses3rd Class: (the greatest warrior of Egypt, led 17 campaigns without a battle lost!)

NCC-3260 Tutmoses III
NCC-3261 Hatshepsuth (she's stepson, Tutmoses 3rd's regent, second female pharaoh of Egypt)
NCC-3262 Sobekneferu (first female pharaoh)
NCC-3263 Thanuny (Tutmoses III's royal scribe and army commander)

MalkataMk2:
NCC-3221 Set Maat her imenty Waset "The place of Ma'at (truth) to the west of Thebes" village of Deir el-Medina

And the Tutmoses 3rd class (so far the Luxor variant that packs single handedly the most punch of all - I mean 16! torp tubes for crying outloud - so far):

The Ships are looking good, Dude! It was a privilege to watch her being assembled in the construction yard. On the TMP Belknap/Decatur variant- There is a difference in the secondary hull (shorter neck length), warp pylons, impulse engine housing and engineering hull (which is smaller) I'll send you some references ;) -BR32

The ships are looking VERY good, very good indeed.

I love how the textures around the bridges look like the Pharoahs' head decorations. Adds a real hint of ancient Egypt to it.

Hey Adonis, they look cool, but testing them ingame at home, i really think you should lighten that deflector a bit more.

I'll see about that, I mean, I already made the lighted up plasma grid stronger and more pronounced. I'll leave these small tuning stuff the last, before the release.

**sorry double post**

Talking about the Dish and Lightning, at last someone achieves the correct range on the Alpha Channel on a TMP ship...

I like that dreadnought one. I have an addiction to third nacelles...
