Okay.

For all those raised platforms (various)...would you like them to be assigned to a new texture?...or find some space on the saucer textures?  I know there's some spots where nothing is using that part of the texture.

I have fixed up that half window as well and created some raised platforms by the warp nacells on the warp pylons.

About those ones on the ventral side of the saucer section, what should I do to those?
I don't know what thy're supposed to look like.  I guess I should look for some pics unless someone already has some, please post if you do.

Um I don't have pics...
everything I pointed in pics few posts earlier should be raised
As for the texture, make it where you want, If they'll fit on to saucer map then it's great.

unfortunately, there aren't many good pictures of that model, most of the ones from the show, on TrekCore, are from either the wrong angle or way far off.
this is the only picture I could find that has an even remotely good view of the underside of the saucer, it is from "Peak Performance"

Here's some reference pics from the model, hopefully these should be sufficient.

The model seems to suggest it has MegaPhasers above the Photon launchers (1 dorsal, 1 ventral, both point forward)...but seeming as the ship didn't fire onscreen (The Hathaway had fake phaser fire shown), it is up to you guys to decide what firepower the Constellation will have.

The Mega-Phasers...I don't know, it could be.  I could adjust the model to include that if you want Bones?

Anyway, here are some pics of what I have done so far.  I still have to apply textures to the new parts and re-map the cargo bay doors on the 3rd pic to fit the textures properly.

Hope you like, I am open to suggestions from everyone. :D

That is definitely more detailed.  Is there a possibility of ID swapping?

Update:

Made a number of adjustments, mainly in the texture mapping.  It looks much better now and all the raised hull parts have their own texture.   This way, if you want to give them a certain look, you can do just that. :D

Very nice!

When McCoy's fix for the nacelle lighting on both sides is applied this is going look as cannon as anyone could really ask for.  Very good work Cordanilus.

Also you should try and get this set up for the SDT, so it saves alot of room should you release another ship pack.

Is it me or do the registries of the constellation pack and the TMP pack of Constitutions look spaced out?  Something doesn't look right.

nope they're spaced as canon as possible only regs with additional letter after number looks streched just like in Ent-A

Update:
I sent the ship to Bones about a day go.  Now it's my turn to wait and see, lol. :D
Bones will do an excellent job painting that bugger.  I can only imagine the finished product.

If you have any questions or suggestions for changes Bones, you can either post them here or email me.

The ship is now 6943 polys and still not a heavyweight.  Not to bad if I say so myself. :D

The gap between the "C", the "-" and the "1" is too much. It's like "NCC     -     1017    -    A".  When it really should be "NCC - 1017 - A" I've noticed that with a lot of ships. Look at the Enterprise-A registry from Star Trek IV, V, and VI, and you'll see what I mean..also you need to manually edit the dashes inbetween the registries and make them somewhat longer.

CptBenSisko explained it very well.  The size of the registry is not the issue, it is the spacing between each of the letters and markings, and they all should be even.  The NCC and the second grouping like 1017, 1701, etc. are grouped too close together, and are too far from the dashes.
