Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Add another cookie for you sir.  Quick question since I don't remember from when you first started her.  Will she have Slipstream?  Also, as for weapons loadout will she be on par with the Achilles or something a little more conventional?

Yes- all Proteus-variant ships will have Slipstream.

The weapons will a combination of the Achilles and Akira.

Gotta say I really like the design, especially the nacelles.  As for the registry... I love it!  :D

Thanks. It was simple to make. The main hardpoint is close to being finished, but I'm having slight issues with the aft phasers. I have yet to add slipstream and blinkers. Almost forgot, I was going to add brand-spankin' new Valkyrie fighters to this ship and have them launch.

Nice!  Always liked the Valkyrie design.  It'll be good to have a higher res version out.

Willey, your wips are to much impressive. Even more when we see that you?re doing low or medium polly meshes. You?re one of the bests, as DJ Curtis and Baz.
I usually do a conversion back for 3ds max, and the meshes still looks dammed good. Cookie for you!. :)

Thank you. The hardpoint for the Argonaut is very close to being perfected, and I need to add blinking lights. Now to work on the Valkyrie fighter. Also, I've noticed that screenshots are now working at BCfiles. :yay:

Here you go! I would like to thank Meteorafallen for all of the very helpful reference pictures and the ACTUAL game mesh for reference. The mesh is currently 1.5k polys and is not smoothed out yet.

already it is looking like a thing of beauty. Well done
"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."

Superb planets ( :D) and extreme cool ship. I'm glad you took my advice about the wing pylons that wrap the warpnacelle!

Btw, could you take a picture of this ship around earth (that's my best planet texture) or the moon. I think the ship looks absolute amazing around that.
