Of course. Just saying that personally, I think the clean look fits XI's windex/easy-off BAM! style.

I will not accept any money payments of any type, and offering money is in violation of the forum rules.  Back on topic- maybe I could do a battle-ravaged variant as well(with open cannons).

Thats a good idea. And another thing, for the normal looking Kelvin, before she gets blown to hell, she has a very grimy look near the edges of the plates. Your current version looks a little too...clean.

Me? Sti-? Nah. Obvious? Ohhh yes!

Seeing the Kelvin textures is making me think about the JJPrise. But I'll stop there.

More like Captain Slow after that post.  :lol:  I'm curious as to how she'll handle, though. Itching to get my hands on some TOS craft now.. Curse you Wiley, now I've gotta reinstall!

I've worked on the textures a bit more.  Here's a weathered look.

Ummm, let's see...
JJ Enterprise
Kelvin
ID4 Destroyer
ID4 Troop Transport
Koerner's Enterprise
And now the Excalibur.  And that's all I know off the top of my head.

Well Wiley...you get a cookie.  I've been hoping for a new Excalibur for a while now and this ship is already off to a good start.  Just make sure you finish these ships.  :D

Normally I don't care for the Excalibur, it just seems like someone inflated the Sovereign (and I know that it's supposed to be basically that) but I think the thing I hate the most are it's nacelles. Anyway, you're version, and the added detail on the saucer, are peaking my interests. Well done Wiley, well done.

Wiley, I must ask, what is your reasoning for elevating the angle of the Excalibur's nacelle pylons?

I was just messing around making a variant of the Excalibur, similar in looks, but not the same ship.
