Possibly, but I think most weapon ideas have been tested and BC is very limited. The BC version of the Son'a Battleship has phasers, torpedoes, and pulse weapons to make a powerful foe.

I just wonder how well they will do against the Sovereign Class.  In the film they had the advantage because they were fitted for the Briar Patch and the Enterprise was not.  So how do you think they will do against the Sovereign when she's not handicapped?

Remember Enterprise was fleeing the Briar patch and took multiple strikes against the aft shields from both ships with out the shields dropping bellow 75%.  That was before they ejected the core.  Essentially they couldn't get through Enterprises shields at that range so they resorted to the isolytic torpedo.  Even after the core was gone shields were still at 75%.

So close quarters combat with two battleships wouldn't favor Sovereign but maybe at medium range Sovereign has the edge...especially with the quantums...which I don't understand why they didn't use instead of the....joystick...

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

One theory I could add is... Maybe the Sovereign didn't have Quantums loaded in the Aft torpedoes? We know the Sovereign is equipped with a "Quantum Turret" facing forward (as seen/used in First Contact). But maybe the Sovereign was still fitted with primarily Photons? I think Nemesis (disaster movie fyi) specifically said that all photons had been expended.

Great looking ship there Wiley! As always :)

Wiley, question about your galaxy class ship. In my pictures, her deflector is almost always very bright (deep space map), this counts for the entire ship actually, she's extremely bright. Is this normal?

Do you have an issue with the specular maps?

Here's a work-in-progress that I promised DJ I'll finish up. It's DJ's mesh, I'm just texturing it.

Problem with the spec maps, i don't think so.. Every ship looks normal in the new kob maru. Except the akira class, she doesn't have texture it seems :D.

I take some pictures later of her, any good maps where i can test her?

This is the most intriguing TMPish design I've ever seen. Might I suggest lighter blue (like the details on JJprise) and  more silvery hull color to it ? she slooks like straight from JJverse, a proper refit to JJprise, even at present textures state she's awesome !

The mesh was actually created before Star Trek (2009). I've waited since 2008 for my skills to meet the level of DJ's.

Glad to see this one back up again. Also glad to see you guys collaborating on a project.

I would think the darker parts will be fine if you use a lighter aztek in those areas. Your specular technique that you have been using lately should set her off as well.

Looking forward to what you come up with. :thumbsup:
