:yeahthat: :ot:

Wiley, that detail is amazing!  You have any plans of doing Ruafo's ship as well?
or collector ship ? tho I don't know what purpouse it would serve in combat :P I doubt it had any ship-to-ship weapons, otherwise it would not need escort ... just thinking out loud :P but really, a Sona pack would be so cool :D great work so far

I agree with Bones, would be a long needed addition to BC. The collector would be as much use as the Kessok Sun Buster, but great for target practice. :funny

Superb detail on the Battleship.  :thumbsup:

It depends on what mood I'm in when I'm done with the battleship.

I think we should stop talking about which TNG movie was better and get back to talking about BC mods. My original question was answered.

Sorry buddy... :(
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Awesome work Wiley!

Any news on your in-progress Galaxy class? You started the Sovvie in the middle of its texturing and haven't seemed to go back to it...

There are 3 known Sona ships- the Battleship, the Collector, and Ruoffo's Flagship. Let's just see how well the Battleship goes first.

My skills have changed since then. I'll most likely rebuild the ship and re-create the textures.

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."

I'm working on the Proto-Ambassador again. This time, I'm adding extra colors to the hull plating to simulate a TMP/TNG effect. I've also included a small texture sample showing the colors I have used. It's very subtle, but the speculars will enhance the effect.

Nice dude... although I have to say that the deflector may be correct to the original source but it's somewhat... bland looking.

Still, outstanding work.
