He was probably referring to the Defiant, as it was equipped with Quantums.

Looking sharp Wiley! :D

Cookie away!  She's a gorgeous hunk of space-craft Wiley.

I am also working on the Probert Ambassador Prototype ship. (I don't want to steal the thunder from Baz) This new version is a LARGE improvement over my previous one. Since I am using the symmetry/mirror modifier in max, there are some areas needed to be cleaned up along the center seam. Enjoy!

Looking good there Wiley! I never really liked those saucer impulse engines though (Not your model, just on the original ship plans) Looks like someone just stuck a Constitution refit engine array on...

Surely an Excelsior style one would have fit better?

I don't know. I kind of like the existing impulse engines.

I've finished up the pylons. These were the trickiest parts of the ship, because they were not a uniform size- larger in front and tapering toward the back with a slight tilt to the hull. Right now, the mesh stands at 5.7k polys, and I still have not added the detail bits yet. The final mesh could very well be near or around 10k polys.

Bring it on! With the sumptuous detail Tobias put into his CG model, I think this one deserves the 10k treatment. Gorgeous work so far!

I'm guessing you're not completely relying on Tobias' model for references.  The pylons don't seem quite as drastically swept forward as his, I don't mind it though, his pylons look way too over-swept, although that could be the angle of the renders.

Keep it up! cookie away!

I can do a variant. It would be easy to do.

I just hope this isn't a start of a flood of request...if it is I blame you Jimmy :P LOL

Nice job there Wiley, I've never really been a fan of the prototype Ambie, but this is looking very good :)

it happens every now and then where 2 (or more) modders are working on the same ship at the same time; it isn't a duel or a contest or anything, just coincidence...  sone of us can remember back waaaaay back in the day (2003-2004ish or so?) when BC was still relatively new and there were like 5 different modders all working on a Galaxy Class at the same time or even more than that all doing a Sovereign Class lol
besides, every modder is unique and have their own style and flair, so it is always good to have many different takes on the same ship by different modders :)

Jimmy pleaaaaaase (dukat style)


drop the vulcan logic. I was just kidding! Of course! I think it would be great that two of our greatest modders are making actually the same ship!

i suspected you were, but i was also just trying to set the general record straight about that, in case others might have thought it as serious or took you as serious...
