Mantis Refit AKA Mantis V2-Update 17/04/2008
« on: October 03, 2006, 04:36:21 AM »
Right guys soon I will post renders of the mantis refit hopefully tonight and this time I am adding more detail to areas like the windows and places like that. My main question is what do you want the reg to be? NCC or NX?

It all depends:

if this ship is a refit of the Prototype Mantis then it would get the NCC registy like the Excelsior after it had its transwarp drive removed.

If it is to change a few things like what happened on the nx-2000 en the ncc-2000 , I suggest using the ncc registry

well i will post some renders tonight and you will see if its worth changing to NCC but so far the poly count is nearly at 7000 as I am not holding back on the detail this time.

might just stick to 1024, but may do 2048

k cool, if you just give 1024 to low end comp. and you also supply the packadge of your ship with 2048 then high end users could use 2048 in their installations :P
