Where it all began..

[FekLeyr Targ]

great. simply great.

[Jay Crimson]

Looks very pretty.

[Shino Tenshi]

Great, but the Enetrprise never had port and starboard phaser arrays.
also it did not have the ones placed in front of the bridge module.
i think you got either inspired by atra-hasis' conie pack (the bonhomme-type) or a completely wrong blueprint. ;)

but other than that little glitch that model looks just awesome.  8)

[lint]

yeah, i just double checked the studio pics and your right,
think ill think to them and make comparisons now,  :lol:
instead of looking at drawn up blueprints

[Adm_willie]

Wow, never thought you would make a Constitution class

before anyone asks, how many polies? no matter, it looks great

[FekLeyr Targ]

I think you want to make your canon as possible lint. So what do you think about a mvam feature?
You don't believe that a saucer separating connie is canon? Here the proof:

The modular design of the Constitution-class allowed for component separation in times of crisis. The primary and secondary hulls could separate where the connecting "neck" joined the saucer, allowing either section to serve as a lifeboat if the other was too badly damaged.

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Constitution_class

Saucer separation is an emergency maneuver performed on some Federation starships. It involves the complete disconnection of the primary hull and the secondary hull. Prior to the 24th century, separation was used as a means of abandoning either hull in the event of a catastrophic emergency. It was a one-time only event, and the hulls could not be reconnected without external support. (TOS: "The Apple") By the 24th century, separations were designed to be more routine with some classes being designed with reconnection abilities. Both components contained essential systems, allowing each to be independently operable for extended periods. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Saucer_separation

The only use for saucer separation in early starship classes was for emergency purposes related to crew survival. In 2267, Captain James T. Kirk considered a plan wherein chief engineer Montgomery Scott would jettison the nacelles and escape in the saucer section when the original USS Enterprise was threatened by Vaal at Gamma Trianguli VI. Ultimately, the separation was never ordered. (TOS: "The Apple")

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Saucer_separation

The TOS novel Black Fire showed after a bomb exploded on the Enterprise bridge causing severe damage to ship and crew, Chief Engineer Scott ordered a saucer separation. The ship was reconnected at a starbase facility.
A TNG novel, Rogue Saucer, dealt with saucer separation also as a main theme to the story with Starfleet trying to design a Galaxy-class saucer section that would still be salvageable after landing.
The novelization of Star Trek Generations showed Captain Hikaru Sulu conducting an emergency drill aboard the USS Excelsior when he received news of Kirk's death from his daughter, Demora Sulu. The ship had just completed an emergency saucer separation when the communication was received.

OMG A new Constitution gives cookie.

[lint]

polycount is just under 18k,
and i just figured out how to make the bussards rotate,
so this baby will have rotating bussard collectors

EDIT: just tested in game, and the bussards rotate perfectly.

[intrepid90]

hell, thats what we needed.
a high Quality TOS Model with rotating bussards.

[Asylum]

Looks sweet man..

registry looks a little blocky... ? u gonna re map or increase the res?

great work  8)

[DJ Curtis]

and i just figured out how to make the bussards rotate,

Care to elaborate?

glad it works, can't wait to see this baby Hped and in action

[JerichoKru]

he means the flashy spinny stuff in the collectors  (lol so descriptive )

[DJ Curtis]

I meant more along the lines of how he did it.  Spinning mesh, or just animated textures?

While that may be 'cannon' in technical specs, it isn't 'truly cannon' because it was never done on the show.

Cannon = Respresentative of something that occured regularly in a television show or motion picture, (IE: Star Trek)

hey DJ,
Yeah i just animated the textures.

[Billz]

cool

[DJ Curtis]

hey DJ,
Yeah i just animated the textures.

ok.  for a second there I thought you meant that you'd found a way to animate the mesh.  I was pretty curious.

[lint]

i wish,  :lol:
