looks wonderful.  :D

though I don't know if its the light... but that neck seems to be missing something.

What is it missing? Aztec or other miscellaneous detail? I can easily change the textures and the specs.

Possibly some very light ribbing, maybe in the textures. Maybe a teal colour or something, sort of like on the front of the Connie refit. Something subtle so that it doesn't take away from anything.

Fantastic ship, looks really nice and a decent size.

kinda what vortex suggested... I don't know but the front of the neck and that notched section look to not have any texture.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I'd also suggest a more "Voyager"-esque shuttlebay landing area. From the pics posted, it seems to be a bunch of grey back there. Some additional coloring may be advisable :)

For continuity, then, that should reflect any pattern added to the front of the drive section/neck.

I think people are simply suggesting to change the landing guide marking on the shuttle bays to yellow/orange vice their current light gray.

GREAT design and great texturing job. Absolutely spot-on execution :)

Possibly animated runway lights, that'd be cool. :p

I actually do have just ONE suggestion:

Would it be possible to kill one deck of windows on the stardrive section and add in the port and starboard Starfleet pennants like other starships?  Just a suggestion :)

Engineering registry stripe added as well as the yellow shuttlebay details, added new neck to the Polaris, and the yacht which will be unpowered when attached to the main ship. Enjoy!  :D

Ehhh...gonna be honest, not feeling the new neck.  I don't get why you remodeled it...I don't think anyone here suggested that it needed to be totally changed, especially since that seems to have eliminated the forward torpedo tubes. :idk:

The shuttlebay details look good, as does the yacht.  Just...not liking the new neck.  Sorry, don't hurt me. :hide :(

I was reading it as adding maybe some different color to that indented area of the neck with the torpedo tubes, or maybe some light ribbing, like on the Legacy.

Though I rebuilt the neck, not much has been lost. I can simply tweak the geometry of the neck to it reflects something closer to what I had originally built, plus add in some minor ribbing.

That might be advisable. I kinda liked the original neck, but it looked too "grey" and empty.

Awesome Wiley, she's looking great!

Quick question, what are her stats, namely length and total number of decks?

I think all people were suggesting was some detailing in the area I circled.  It did seem kind of bare.


Again, I much preferred that style of neck.

Also, haven't said it yet, but saying it now, I really like that deflector dish.  Really unique looking!
