It's ingame, and now all that is left to do is tweak the hardpoint, add blinkers and create the Enterprise registry.

Speculars are looking fantastic as well!  Looking forward to using her in the Single Player campaign!

Wow this is brilliant - the deflector and textures are just  :eek
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.

Excellent Wiley, well done!

Now if you don't mind a small reminder albeit a minor one... don't forget to redo the texture of your Sovereign's where the Starfleet pennant text is reversed... the one on the secondary hull.

I now try as much as possible to reduce the amount of objects it takes to make a ship-- have only the saucer, engineering hull with neck and pylons, and warp nacelles. Though this changes ship to ship.

That, and I want to fix the captain's yacht. I got to re export that mesh due to specular highlight issues.

In hindsight it's amazing how well the SNS Galaxy and the CG Sov have held up over the years...

Oh dun go thar, gurl! *snapsnap* :dontcare:

Love this Probert design you've got going. Looks like a nicely built model, and the textures are good and crisp.

Edit:
Though I wonder; will you be leaving the saucer rim overall bare, or will that receive hull paneling as well?

If you mean the saucer and engineering "sensor strips" going around the very sides of these sections, they will be plain, but a blue color. According to my references, these areas did not have much detail.

And still do... they're great pieces of work. Especially taking into account how early on they were released.

Scotchy and CG were definitely "forward" thinkers.

Along with Khaliban's Connie they were the gold standard 'till DJ and Wiley...just wait 'till CG releases his new Sov  :evil:
