We had this discussion.  I'm still using some of the glows from the original textures LOL.  If you look at the c2x/p81 steamrunner you'll notice the same thing trust me :).  I also think it looks more like a dragon.

I like it so I'm keeping it :D

EDIT SO I DON'T DOUBLE POST:  I've welded the verts together and smoothed her out so there shouldn't be anymore mesh errors on the Steamrunner.  She should look much better :).  Going to do the same thing for the Sovereign and Norway :D

YAY!!! No More Mesh Errors!!!  LOL well, there are some smoothing groups that need to be worked on :D.  Other than that, it's grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

Also worked on the bottom saucer a bit Texture wise I'm liable to texture in some portholes LOL it would only go great with the top saucer :D :)

EDIT:  Changed the bottom saucer impulse engine area...posted a pic for comparison :)

Still working on the bottom saucer.  I'm planning on adding portholes and aztecing and she'll be finished :D I'm also working on the top saucer adding in torpedo tubes and what not so that I can be finished with the model (FINALLY) and convert her to .nif so that she can be hardpointed.  Which means I need to learn MPE :P

Yep.  Imported through the Max 8 NIF importer, welded together and smoothed out so there aren't very many mesh errors and retexturing (WIP :D) Next on my list of things to do with her is create torpedo bays, reweld/smooth, and boom, I iz dun wif model :).

I'm also working on the P81 Norway, it's just I've been working with the Steamrunner the majority of the time

EDIT:  Oh I forgot to mention I've modeled on phasers too :)

well, now that you mentioned it.. it is possible that I might give a try to importing a Millenium Falcon model to BC.. and othe star wars ships too.. the ones at BCFiles are unacceptable..

Oatmeal, chocolate chip, or raisin?  Also, out of curiosity, did you also remap the model?

How about all three in one ;)

And just the bottom Saucer...which all I did was mirror it...again

Other than that, I've just textured her to look more canon :)

He knows about the Falcon. Quite a funny thing to add to a Trek film...:P
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Darkened the secondary hull/nacelle txtures a bit.   The speculars actually make her look more purplish LOL but I like it none the less :D.  The Aztecing is there, it's just subtle (again, which I like).

btw, guys, thinking of SW slipped into ST, I have one for you to look up in 9.  look in the starfleet devris field.  apparently, they did it again...and this time slipped in Artoo!

some of us are waiting for a replacement Falcon (which is the only SW ship that REALLY needs redone)
