The spine of the ship looks...underdetailed.  It's very minor, but there is a small spine detail on the back of the neck.  It's not really necessary to model, but perhaps as part of the textures...

He probably knwos this as he did it with his most recent JJPrise.
"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."

The NX and USS Excelsiors are done. I'm doing ID swapping for the ships. I still have the refit version left to texture. Enjoy! :D

I also added a single phaser emitter between the impulse domes on the NCC version. I did that since the Lakota fired a phaser beam from that area in DS9.

All the ships we've seen from you are "the best". Getting that from DJ confirms it. :)

just a quick random question (i might have asked before but i forget) did the Lakota's also light up around the nacelles, as well as on top?
i thought i had seen that somewhere in DS9 tho might not have been the Lakota...

The Lakota doesn't. There's just a little blue ring on the front of the nacelles that lights up as well.

Darran is correct, the Lakota only had the front glow thing, the Excel in Voyager: Flashback had the fully glowing nacelle.

EDIT: Forgot TrekCore links don't work.  Stupid me >_<

I also added a faint glow for the upper section of the nacelle. This is what I know for the nacelle glowing:

TMP Excelsior- always off, on in-warp
TNG Excelsior- always on
TMP & TNG Refit- glows in front, rest always off, on in-warp?

I took care of it Kirk.  I totally forgot that TrekCore links don't work.

Hm, sounds like a plan to me Wiley. :)
