Umm, thanks?

And I love the little pulse cannons on the port and starboard side... but weren't they supposed to be dorsal torpedo launchers?

There are many variants for the Achilles ship- with or without extra weapons. I think it is personal preference for added weapons. I didn't want to go overboard with weapons.

Not to mention that the DW Achilles would've whipped the Defiant which is kinda messed up.

Looks good Wiley!

Real nice dude!

Outstanding design!

Yes, the Achilles in DW had the phalanx style launchers, but is removing them really a bad thing? Personally I never saw them work in BC, only in Dominion Wars.

They are not really that important considering the additional firepower that Wiley has added to the ship. Personally I would like to see those side launchers be used for torpedoes, because the only other ship that features that ability currently is the Akria.

Good thing I modeled them the same. I can have alternate hardpoints.

I'm now attempting to correctly UVW map this thing. I hope it works.

Anyway I can reduce texture size is good for me.

I've mapped the ship to 3 2048px textures, and there are some minor bits left to map like thrusters, and weapons, but I'll add those to a texture if there is space.

Though this is my second time UV mapping, it is the first I have done it right.

Groovy maaan LOL Can't wait to see the paint job you're gonna give this beast.

Dangit, Wiley, there's nothing here for me to scrutinize, now I'm bored and all I can do is give you a cookie for your good work.

Here's a small sample. The textures are a combination of Sovereign and Akira, and some flowing hull panels similar to the Proteus class. This could possibly be the "war-refit" of the Proteus class, since it uses a similar hull shape.

loving it

moed · « **Reply #2791 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:47:34 PM »

Awesome!

Curious, is the name U.S.S. Coercion what you actually intend to name the ship or is this temporary for just showing where the registry will be placed?

That's the class name and the ship. It means enforcement/confinement/command/menacing. Using a thesaurus is good way to find scifi sounding names.

i was wondering the same thing as moed - but you explained it perfectly just there
