The Excelsiors are around 23.8k polys. Refit Excelsiors are around 25.2k polys. The Reliant is 29.2k polys. The Constitution Refit is 27.1k polys.

I also added the NCC-Excel impulse deck(2 domes) and the side of the engineering hull to the ID map, so the impulse domes can be redish for the Lakota, and the engineering hull sides with registry stripe can change between each ship depending on the era and type of ship

....and in the areas between the impulse engine and the torpedo launching bay. The Reliant has more pieces than the other TMP ships. The Excelsior is not very detailed and made up of more simpler shapes.

That's because the Excelsior is evil and must be destroyed. Well, the NX one anyway. I will enjoy putting a few torpedoes into her...with the NCC-2000. Go Sulu!

Hmm. Temporal paradoxes FTW.

The Refit Excelsior is almost done. I still have to recolor most parts of the ship since the refit is not blue. Enjoy!

I don't usually take requests. I'm trying to make this pack "close enough" to "canon." One thing I noticed, for the TNG and TNG Refit Excelsiors, since all of the ships are based from the original studio model with no major changes, TNG phasers only fire one beam, while the ships themselves have 2 emitters for one phaser. Maybe ILM thought no one would notice. I was thinking of this when I start on the HPs.

There's a good chance people would complain about it cos to them, they'd expect a beam coming out of each emitter. Sometimes sticking with Canon doesn't work all the time.

The addon to the secondary hull on the studio model is a lot more curved than what you've done. It still looks alright, but I'd pronounce the concave curvatures of the secondary hull addon more to match the studio model as it looks a little too much like a 'glue & gum' addon here. Just a thought. I found some VERY good references earlier, I might dig them up if you need them. Otherwise that's just my two cents. Good model otherwise.

Actually its not the lakota, its the enterprise b isnt it wiley? awesome work. Great stuff you do and fast aswell!

Dalek · « **Reply #1517 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:13:03 PM »

Enterprise B and Lakota are basically the same ship.

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #1518 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:43:56 PM »

The Enterprise-B and the Lakota are the same ship other than name changes and hardpoints. It exported great and here is a pic of it in MPE.
