Have you learnt about ID swapping yet Wiley? Because, it would be incredible to have an Excelsior (2 models, base and Lakota refit) but to have ID swapping so that all registeries (canon) can be done.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Wiley if you need help with ID swapping I will be willing to lend a hand I think half the ships in my BC install I have modded to use id swapping at this point, and this stuff looks so awsome I would love to contribute
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Since the Excelsior class has 20+ ships, id swapping is definitely needed. I see with ships that have map swapping, the "default" that's mapped is a blank one, but swaps to the correct name ingame.

it just hit me... are you doing the "refit" version as well? (winged)

I believe the name "USS Gorkon" is on the list as well.

Yup. I believe there was a pic with the refit stardrive on the previous page...
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Would I have to detach the ID map sections from the mesh for them to be swapped? Anyways, here's some more renders.

Idealy the id's should be on a single texture map and then the script can be set up to swap out that particular map, but multiple textures can be swapped out if needed .

and that ship is looking incredible

I could have used ID map swapping for the Kelvin ships, but due to issues I was not able to. I'll do what I can for the Excelsior. The Excelsior is the "ultimate test" to see if I can do ID map swapping.
